7 YEARS LATER (Just before a Study in Pink)
Seb knocked on Jim's office door. Jim looked up.
"Come in Sebby."
"Do you remember when you first tried to teach me to cook?" he asked quietly
"Yeeaaah..."
"Look!" Seb pulled out a chocolate cake from behind his back and handed it to Jim. A grin broke out on Jim's face.
"All on my own." Seb grinned.
"Brilliant Seb! I'm not going to start singing Lion King this time though." Jim said with a smirk.
"You already are king, you don't need to." Jim smiled.
"I've got competition though..." he murmured.
"Sherlock Holmes?"
"Yes, Sherlock Holmes."
"He isn't worth your time Jim."
"Well, we'll soon see won't we?"
"Jim can't you just leave him be?"
"It's too tempting Seb. You know me, can't help myself. It's set up now anyway."
"What are you going to do?"
"Just a little puzzle to see how good he actually is. You know about the serial suicides don't you?"
"Of course, is that you?"
"I'm the sponsor." Seb groaned. Jim just smiled.
"Why? Why get invovled with him?"
"I like seeing people dance." Seb facepalmed.
"I get bored Seb."
"I know but why him? He's dangerous..."
"I'm not making direct contact Seb, don't worry. He won't know who I am."
"What if the murderer slips up?"
"Then I'll just have to sort it." Seb sighed,
"Up to you, but I'm not losing you..."
"Everything will be fine. I promise."
"It had better be."
"It will be over by tomorrow I'm sure. Sherlock is probably already at the crime scene. And then when it's over I'll just find another thing to do."
"What about those Chinese smugglers? They wanted your help..."
"Not very interesting though."
"I suppose not...But Sherlock will probably get involved..."
"Probably." Jim said with a smirk. That was his intention.
"And if you really want him that much..."
"And if I really want him that much what?"
"Well then get involved in as much as possible that he'll meddle in."
"I'm going to. I'm already planning a little game."
"Please do tell..." Jim picked up his laptop and passed it to Seb. His plans were on the screens. Seb flicked through them and nodded.
THE NEXT DAY. Jim threw his phone down on the desk and bashed it with his fist. He got up and walked to the window. Seb looked at him,
"What's wrong?"
"Idiotic cabbie. Got himself killed and given away my name."
"What!? Jim...I told you..."
"It's fine Sebby. I'm planning on meeting him anyway."
"No Jim, you can't."
"He intrigues me Sebby..." Jim whined. Seb shook his head.
"I've already planned how I'm going to meet him. He won't even know it's me."
"Go on, how?"
"There's a woman at the morgue who knows him. I'm pretending to date her. I'll be in disguise. Sherlock will think I'm a gay man who works in I.T, simple."
"P-Pretending to date someone?" Seb looked shocked. Jim kissed Seb.
"Don't worry. There is no competition Sebby-Bear. She's so annoying." Seb grunted.
"It will be ended in two days time. Promise." Seb just nodded. Jim stroked Seb's cheek. Seb couldn't help but smile.
"There we go." Jim purred. Seb chuckled.
"Want to help get a disguise ready?"
"Uh yeah, sure."
"Come on then. It has to be completely obvious to everybody that I'm gay." Seb smirked. Jim laughed.
"God help me. I'm going to need to wear makeup."
"Oh god!" Seb burst out laughing.
"Oh well. Gotta do what you've gotta do."
"Come on then..."
