Roommates (Moriarty)

[Jason Scott]

(ooc: March 16th. Morning. Jason/Moriarty thread.)

Jason yawned as he woke up frowning at his scaly body. He wished it had been a dream but he was wrong. He paused realizing he was holding something very warm as he blinked realizing Moriarty was in bed with him and Jason had been snuggling the guy in his sleep. He blushed as he usually slept alone so he didn't realize he was like this. He was confused why Moriarty was doing here before he remembered the new roommate arrangements and Moriarty had been chosen as his roommate.

"Great. The guy I have a crush on is my roommate and I was snuggling with him. Hope he wasn't awake for any of that or this would be more embarrassing." thought Jason.

He slowly tried to move his arms away from Moriarty not wanting to wake him up.

[Professor James Moriarty]

The arrangements were to have Jason and Moriarty sleep together in the same room, and unlike Jason who was nervous, Moriarty saw this as a good opportunity for feelings to be addressed one way or another through time. Moriarty wasn't really ready to tell Jason, not out of fear more out of waiting to see if Jason would talk first or not, if he didn't then Moriarty probably would address this. Right now though he was dead asleep, unaware of being cuddled by the recently turned monster.

Sleeping was second nature to Moriarty, it gave him the ability to release his chaotic and intelligent ways. Unlike Sherlock, Moriarty when he had nothing to do did not resort to making things, he resulted to relaxing activities. Lazy? Not really. Sleep was just as important as anything. So he didn't quite feel the hugging feeling of Jason's arms, maybe it was because jason was not a threat to him, therefore he didn't bother. However the feeling of someone moving now was something different. Moriarty was not quite awake but was getting there if jason made any more movements. This was proven as soft groaning was heard and the older man began to turn over

[Jason Scott]

(ooc: couldn't resist. moriarty can wake up now if you like. or try to use jason as a pillow. either way. xd)

Jason struggled trying to get his arms free but then Moriarty turned off and began moaning as if he was starting to wake up. Jason knew he had to be quick. So he pulled with all his might and freed his hands but he didn't realize his strength had improved so he'd pulled Moriarty on top of him and they both rolled off the bed crashing to the floor.. Blushing fiercely he could tell Moriarty was definitely starting to wake up now. This was more embarrassing then they were before. He decided he had to push him off so he started slow trying to push him off.

[Professor James Moriarty]

(OCC: Moriarty can wake now. For some reason, he's being a bit amused)

When the feelings of crashing down the floor were made, Moriarty immediately sprung into action. His gaze shocked but his body wasn't as shocked as his face looked. Perhaps it was because he was on top of someone who was not against him nor someone moriarty took as a fearful threat. So the professor shook his head to regain concentration and looked down, seeing the embarrassed monster trying to push him off. "If you wished for me to amuse you, all you had to do was ask" Moriarty chuckled, seemingly amused, which he was. He looked up and down and chuckled again seeing himself in a dominant position above jason was something he was fond of. Yet without hesitation, he got up, seeing the young man/monster's discomfort.

"You seem rather distressed Jason" Moriarty said this as a confirmation, not a observation. He knew why jason was so nervous. But moriarty's patience was beginning to run itself thin, surprisingly, normally moriarty was MUCH more patient but the boy's nervousness was waning on him. Yet Moriarty said this with a calm smile, his head held as if more equal instead of superior to jason. "Now what on earth caused you to be so forceful?" He looked down to his sleepwear and saw wrinkles. The indication that he either tossed and turned, but from the looks they were much more constrained, as if someone was holding him. Moriarty was Sherlock's dark twin, he could figure out tiny details but unlike sherlock he would unhesitatingly approached them "Giving the indication from our little amusing fall down the bed, I am assuming you were trying to get off me while I was asleep. Am I wrong?"

[Jason Scott]

Jason blushed realizing Moriarty was now awake and on top of him. But Moriarty seemed to enjoy it before getting up.

"I'm fine." said Jason.

Moriarty went silent for a bit as Jason tried to compose himself as he got up sitting on the bed. When he heard Moriarty's questions he blushed again.

"I usually sleep alone so I didn't know that I'm a cuddler. I woke up to find I was hugging you. I didn't want you to find out but I guess you know now." said Jason.

He paused as Moriarty confirmed what Jason told him as Jason blushed.

"Yes. I was trying to pull my handsfree but I pulled too hard. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up. If you want to go back to sleep you can. I should have just slept on the floor. I'm lucky I didn't hurt you in my sleep." said Jason.

He paused looking down at his scaly hands in horror realizing what he just said.

"I could have hurt you. I could have hurt someone I love." said Jason.

He blushed realizing he just said that out loud.

"Forget I said anything. I'll ask to be moved to another room. Maybe sleep in the circus tent or something." said Jason.

He stood up turning to go but was stopped as he felt Moriarty grab his arm. Jason stopped moving not wanting to risk hurting him as tears started to flow down his scaly face.

"Just let me go. I don't want your pity. No one could love a monster like me. Even when I was human I was nothing special. Romance just never worked out for me. Maybe this is my fate to be alone and serve my master Zedd." said Jason.

[Professor James Moriarty]

"Your words say that you are, but you do not look fine. Please do not lie to me jason" Moriarty's words were soothing, like he was more concerned than angry. And he was. He wasn't angry in the slightest. He knew that Jason was much more nervous than himself. He didn't see anything wrong with this though. Perhaps it was just a deep sense of fear due to no successful relationships or relationships at all. Only talking would tell.

"Indeed. It is no trouble. No need to be distressed" Moriarty assured quickly, honestly patient with the other, yet he didn't see the connection between being nervous over someone you cared about. He then listened as Jason once again apologized and Moriarty stopped him with only the lift of a hand, his tone a bit more firm but not by much "Enough. Don't be so worried. It is no trouble. The subconscious may be more likely to harm others through their dreams, but it is incredibly unlikely for someone as kind as yourself to possibly do that to me. It isn't logical to assume you would deliberately harm me"

Moriarty then tried to not smile as his suspicions over jason's feelings were confirmed to him, seeing Jason's fearful and rather regretful expressions. The man was about to calm the monster down but the other quickly got up to leave "No. I do not want you to leave. It is incredibly comforting for me to have you here. Do you think your confession bothers me? I had a suspicion you were interested in me. And you should not be ashamed" He then grabbed the other's arm, but felt a bit regretful doing so due to jason's reaction.

Moriarty gently pulled jason away from the door, listening to his words with only a seemingly emotionless face. His face then turned softer, kinder, more welcoming. He then spoke in a assuring, calming tone "I do not pity you. I do not feel disgusted by you and I certainly do not fear you. I do however quite feel attracted to you. I only wanted you to tell me first, seeing that it is only natural to allow both members of a relationship to talk their feelings" He looked down at the scaly arm and shook his head "Jason, have you ever heard of 'Love is blind', at least that is how the annoying phrase goes? I do not really believe love is blind, I feel it is more tolerant than you think it is. The phrase is true with the message that love can be more than just physicality"

He then breathed and responded "The fate you lead isn't made all by others. It needs to have your input quite a lot actually. Don't run away from your feelings. Don't run away from me. I want you to stay"

[Jason Scott]

Jason sighed knowing it was hard to fool someone like Moriarty.

"I should have known it'd be impossible to fool you. You notice everything." said Jason.

Jason smiled as Moriarty tried to soothe him and say that it was no trouble. He was surprised as Moriarty told him not to leave. That he found him comforting and he shouldn't be ashamed.

"But I'm a monster. Who would ever want a beast like me?" said Jason.

He listened as Moriarty pulled him back and said he wasn't disgusted by him. And he didn't fear or pity him as well. He was attracted to him.

"You're attracted to me? Even now while I'm this?" asked Jason.

He felt his resolve to leave crumbling the more Moriarty spoke.

"You really do care about me." said Jason.

He smiled as Moriarty told him to not run away and stay.

"Alright. I'll stay. I wish I was still human." said Jason.

He smiled at Moriarty and on an impulse, he leaned forward and kissed the man as a flash of energy flew out of Jason's body. Jason stepped back feeling the change. He was still a cobra but Zedd's spell on him had broken. He paused realizing the only reason he had to stay was Moriarty and his scaly appearance. He couldn't leave Moriarty. Not now. Not when he finally found a chance at happiness.

"I'm free. Lord Zedd made me his slave but the more time I spent you with the weaker the spell got. Until I kissed you and now it's gone. But I don't want to go anywhere. Not without you." said Jason.

He knew he might have to worry about Zedd later. But now he just wanted to focus on Moriarty. He grinned now more confident as he leaned forward kissing Moriarty again not aware of his tail wrapping around them both as if to protect Moriarty.

"Unfortunately yes. Yes I do" Moriarty chuckled softly, seeing Jason nervous of him. He understood why Jason was nervous as the conversation went on. Although a bit sympathetic he was glad Jason was finally able to be honest with him. It was better than waiting so damn much for him to say something.

"I do. And frankly I am not ashamed of it either. Beast or not, you are still Jason" Moriarty replied stubbornly. He didn't care about Jason's appearance. He knew Jason's true form and he loved him regardless of this stupid change. It wasn't important. Jason was important. He nodded as Jason asked once more if he really was attracted to him despite the form he had. Moriarty wasn't shallow in the sense of physical attributes.

"Yes. I care about you far more than anyone I ever knew" Moriarty replied with true sincerity. He then smiled in relief as Jason said he would stay. "Good things come with patience and time. Do not worry about it for now" Moriarty responded as Jason quipped he still wanted to be human again. Admittedly so did moriarty but he wouldn't say that now.

Suddenly the beast came closer to him, Moriarty did not back away. He stayed right where he was. When kissed, Moriarty kissed back. Before it could last long though, Jason pulled back and Moriarty noticed some sort of light escaping. Moriarty raised his eyebrows, shocked at it. However his shock didn't last very long "Ah. Magic. Some sort of personal spell-binding"

He then realized Jason was cursed not just physically and that made the man mad. He had a feeling Facilier knew but it wasn't him as Jason told Moriarty. It was Zedd. Lord Zedd. Although Moriarty was not going to leave Facilier's group mostly because of the friends he made, and the fact many were willing to help destroy Sherlock Holmes, he now was personally against Lord Zedd. It was just made personal and Moriarty had to do everything to protect Jason now. He didn't care if it cost him his life, he knew one of the leaders or all of them would protect him so long as Moriarty was on their side. He had to be calm now but protective always.

His plans were stopped as Jason said he wouldn't go anywhere with moriarty. Before he could respond, Jason pulled him closer and pressed his lips to Moriarty's own. Willingly, he fell into the kiss, allowing his own arms to wrap around the beast. Suddenly he felt a tight hold and realizing it was Jason's tail just continued to keep kissing him. Slowly, eventually, Moriarty let go of it. He then responded "I cannot leave here. We are well-protected. The leaders, if Zedd tries to harm you or me anymore, will stop him from doing so under my request. If I play my cards right, and I will, they will befriend me enough to stop him. Plus many, such as Dr. Yuki, are helping me find and destroy that blasted Holmes"

He embraced Jason and kissed him on the lips for a while again "I'll protect you from that heathen. Nothing will happen to you so long as I am here. I am incredibly intelligent. I will find a way to make sure he never touches a single part of you. You're safe now" He kissed Jason once more, protectively.

[Jason Scott]

Jason grinned at Moriarty.

"And you noticed me. Not many people have noticed me before." said Jason.

Jason blushed as Moriarty spoke again.

"You really want me? Scales and all?" asked Jason, shocked.

Jason's grin grew as Moriarty confirmed it as he smiled at him.

"I never felt this way about anyone. I've dated girls before and I've had crushes on guys but never acted on them. Until now." said Jason.

Jason nodded again.

"If I have you I'll be happy. Even if I have to stay stuck in this scaly form it'll be worth it. Just to be with you." said Jason.

Jason smirked.

"Figures you'd know about magic and curses. I'm free of Zedd. Although that won't stop him trying to put it on me again. Or Rita. Or one of them trying to kill me." said Jason.

Jason paused realizing his tail was wrapped around him as Jason blushed letting go.

"This new body I have makes me very protective and possessive of you. It's hard to fight my reptilian instincts and they're even stronger now. To keep you as my mate." said Jason.

He then kissed Moriarty again as he let go reluctantly afterward. He nodded to Moriarty.

"I understand. But Zedd is Rita's wife and she is one of the leaders. Both of them hate me. Even if you got Facilier and Malachite on your side Rita and Zedd would still have it out for me." said Jason.

Jason grinned as Moriarty kissed him again. He grinned as Moriarty said he'd protect him.

"I believe you. I know I'm safe when I'm with you just as you're safe with me." said Jason.

Jason moaned as Moriarty kissed him again as Jason returned it very passionately. He eventually let go with a grin.

"Want to grab some breakfast?" asked Jason.

"A shame really" Moriarty commented as Jason said that not a lot of people noticed him. It sent a rather sympathetic feeling towards the professor. He then listened as Jason continued speaking about his feelings for him and that he never really was into men previously. "You cannot entirely define feelings. It is alright that you feel this way. I had no definition over my preferences but I am incredibly glad I have you" Moriarty replied about that.

"I only need you for my happiness. You are my happiness. Nothing will ever change that, Jason" Moriarty affectionately assured as Jason said as long as Moriarty was here, he was happy. He then became more protective as Jason pointed out Zedd or rita would either try this again or just kill him "Not without going through my lifeless body. They may have magic, but I have wit. I can easily deceive them to get themselves in trouble"

Moriarty chuckled in amusement as Jason explained to him about his instincts. Moriarty had a feeling this was the case. The fact Jason was more animalistic would make him act differently than a human "Understandable. Completely. Animal bodies have less control" He liked the thought of it, until his thoughts were washed away completely by being kissed again by Jason. Moriarty held on until the two let go again.

"If I remember correctly, Malachite and Facilier are slightly stronger than that woman and zedd. There is nothing to worry about. I just need to think of a plan to get those two on my side completely. I may even have to ask Yuki for some way to protect you" Moriarty pondered. Now that he had Jason, he was not going to let magicians, even a leader, try to take Jason away from him. He grinned, pleased that Jason believed him, and continued kissing him. Jason's moan didn't go unnoticed and the professor made a note to find a way to get Jason to do that again. Because he REALLY loved that noise.

When asked to go grab breakfast, Moriarty held Jason's hand and replied affectionately "I would love to. It would be a pleasure"

[Jason Scott]

Jason nodded. He was actually unaware he had many admirers back home who had failed to gain his attention. He had kind of been oblivious to the attention until he'd met Emily. It hadn't worked out with her but now he had Moriarty. And he was glad he had him.

"But it worked out. Because now I have you." said Jason.

He nodded.

"Maybe I just didn't realize I had them. I wasn't really focused on romance. I mean I was more focused on getting good grades and saving the planet at the time. Emily was my first girlfriend. It didn't work out with her but I'm glad I have you too." said Jason.

Jason was touched as Moriarty said that he was his happiness.

"And you are my happiness." said Jason.

Jason shook his head.

"Don't get in the middle. I don't want to lose you. I'd rather be their servant than you get hurt or die for me. Then I'd be alone and they get what they wanted anyway." said Jason.

Jason was still blushing at his animal instincts but thankfully Moriarty understood them.

"I'm still a bit nervous about my appearance but thankfully no one's teased me about it. Which I'm grateful for." said Jason.

Jason paused at him.

"Perhaps but she is their partner. I think they'd take her side over mine. Besides I was Zedd's slave. And I'm a known hero. The only thing keeping me here right now is my snake body and you. They won't trust me. They'll enslave me saying it's for my own good or to keep the army safe. Leonardo's a hero too and Malachite has him under his spell. They even had Ma-Ti here for awhile as a horse." said Jason.

He paused trying to think of a way.

"The only way I can think of is to beat them to the punch. Make me your slave and then no one can take me away from you." said Jason.

Jason grinned as they kissed as he enjoyed every moment with Moriarty now.

"Then let's go. I'm starving." said Jason.

He walked out holding Moriarty's hand as they headed to the kitchen.

(ooc: can't think of something to eat. so perhaps moriarty decides to cook something wanting to do something for jason.)
