Chapter Text
Jim Moriarty worked in IT. He was a simple guy. He didn't get into trouble. He worked from a desk. He had friends and a suitable, little flat with all the basics. And as Sherlock Holmes let slip today in the lab of St. Bart’s hospital, Jim was gay. It wasn’t something he really talked about, but it wasn’t something he hid either. Needless to say, Molly was a bit shocked to find out. She asked him later that evening why they would even date if he wasn’t interested. Their discussion led to a mutual break up, complete with a hug and promise to still be friends. Honestly, Molly was a lovely girl. Jim was glad to still have her companionship.
So he went back to work, single and content with that for now. He missed the cuddles and hand holding and doting on someone significant, but there would be other chances. All in due time.
Sebastian Moran worked in security. It wasn’t incredibly ambitious, but it was a steady job and steady pay. It kept him busy. He served his country for a time, did his duty, but didn’t continue his service when his time was up. Without much of an education but a definite fondness for serving and protecting, he joined up with a security company and was placed at St. Bart’s to head up security detail during the day. It was nothing too extreme, but it suited him perfectly.
He was the most effective security guard they’d had in decades, not to mention the most handsome, and he enjoyed it. The thing he didn’t enjoy? Damn new computers that refused to do what he wanted them to do. He’d been at it for hours already, trying to get it booted and cooperating with the camera system that was also brand new. He was on and off the phone with IT, shutting the system off and on. Off and on. Off and on until he was ready to go up there and punch every IT worker in the face with a monitor. But finally he got some lady who seemed to understand the problem but couldn’t fix it remotely. She told him to sit tight and someone would be down to take a look at it in about ten minutes. Great. Ten minutes of sitting on his arse and not being able to watch any cameras, now coupled with waiting for a tech person to show up and delaying his walk around. The wait had better be worth his time.
