Chapter 7:
As Sebastian entered the room Jim was waiting for him, "What happened?" Jim gestured to the leather arm chair in front of him. Sebastian sat down and relaxed into the chair and stared at Jim gathering his thoughts.
"The Cabbie was going to commit suicide and Kill Sherlock as well, I was going to make the kill as Sherlock went to take the pill but by the time I got to the gun" Sebastian looked down at his hands as Jim growled "The Cabbie was already bleeding from his shoulder, a fatal wound but he had enough breath to talk a bit, John took the shot and got away." When Sebastian finished with the simple report he looked at Jim. Sebastian was contemplating whether or not he should leave Jim to his thoughts when Jim spoke.
"Go take a shower Bassie you reek of stupidity" Sebastian got up and collected clothes to change into "You did well tonight" Jim said as Sebastian re-emerged from his room to head up to the bathroom, with a nod Sebastian left. Sebastian enjoyed the hot shower as he didn't have certain products to use. When he got out he found that Jim already went to sleep, he quickly followed suit.
The morning after Sebastian woke up to muffled arguing and Jim sitting at the end of his bed. "What is going on?"
"Oh your awake, well John just moved in and is in doctor mode." Jim explained excitedly
"Why are they awake now it's bloody early" Sebastian tried to burrow further into the blankets, only to have them pulled off.
"Come on Bassie we need to celebrate my new Job, we can make a day of it"
Sebastian tried to curl up into himself only to wheeze in pain " Alright , I'm up just give me a minute" Jim looked over Sebastian wondering where he was injured, Jim was about to flip Sebastian on to his back when Sebastian decided it was ok to get up. Unaware of the attention he had on him Sebastian decided to forgo having a shower and quickly undressed.
"How come you didn't tell me you were injured?" Jim asked freezing Sebastian where he stood.
"I forgot about it until I tried to curl up" seeing Jim scrutinize the purple almost black Bruise marring his stomach made Sebastian want to reassure him " It's nothing, there wasn't a truly flat place on that roof I just landed on a bump when I rushed to shoot the cabbie. Afghanistan was worse." Jim winced as Sebastian went to put his jeans on.
"Sebastian, sit back down" as it was a direct order Sebastian followed no questions asked as Jim left the room, He came back a few minutes later with ice and a pill. Sebastian stared at Jim and examined the pill before swallowing it dry. "Here" Jim placed the cool bag on the center of the bruise and sat on the bed.
"I'm fine, really" Sebastian said but didn't dare get up.
"We will leave in 20 minutes, we will go to that café you like for breakfast" Jim said before he started to laugh.
"What?"
"It's just, this is how John and I became friends, I was the one with bruises though and John always wanted to be a doctor."
"Are you saying you are my friend now?" Sebastian asked staring up at Jim
"I'm not sure I only ever had one friend before, so I really don't know." Jim idly traced the bruise "I honestly can't say if I am worried that something of mine is broken, or if I actually care that it's you who is hurt." Sebastian was watching the confusion show on Jim's face. The two were silent for the rest of the 20 minutes lost in their own thoughts. Jim puttered around the room examining little things before pulling out a white button up shirt. "Here may as well get fully dressed Bassie." After Sebastian had permission to move they were out the door in 5 minutes headed towards a café a few blocks down.
"So, congratulations on the job, when do you start." Sebastian toasted after they sat down with their coffees
"Immediately" Jim said while the waitress brought over their food. After that the two didn't talk much just enjoyed the day acting like tourists, they got caught up in the crowed watching the changing of the guard and even went to the museum to watch a tea ceremony. When they got back to the flat it seems Mrs. Hudson it seemed couldn't wait until the weekend for their scheduled gossip session,
"YooHoo, boys would like some tea?" the call came from Mrs. Turner's kitchen.
"Yes, of course I can never turn down an invitation from you two lovely ladies" Jim grinned "hurry up Seb." Jim pranced in happily while Sebastian awkwardly lumbered in with his shoulder hunched trying to make himself smaller. He fought a war yet he was still cowed by the three people in front of him, mainly because he would never disagree with the two ladies and Jim was insane, and his boss. The conversation was naturally on John and not for the first time Sebastian wondered if there was something more than a childhood friend ship between John and Jim. Once again Sebastian sat in silence nodding and eating whatever was given to him. When the visit was over it seemed like life as normal , well as normal as it had been the last few months.
