[He gives a muffled noise of protest when the pillow is pressed down just a little harder as Sebastian moves, and gulps down a breath when it’s released. He stares at the sniper as though trying to work out whether he’s being serious or not, and then settles on looking disgusted.]
…That’s fucking disgusting, Moran.

[He can’t help it at that. The look on Sebastian’s face alone is enough to drive Jim into a bout of quiet, helpless laughter, followed by an indignant squawk as he’s sat on, his laughs muffled by the pillow over his face. He gives a muted call and flails around just a bit, like the sniper is trying to smother him.

I believe I remember you mentioning it. I told you that if I might die out of sheer bad luck and a terrible track-record with whatever higher power likes keeping me miserable.
[Sebastian readjust, shift until he has one arm tucked under Jim’s head, bent at the elbow, tips of his fingers stroking Jim’s hair, his other hand warm and unyielding against Jim’s sharp...

[He doesn’t move, though, not for a moment, as if he’s planning, or something like that. Then, he moves, irrespective of the hand still on his shoulder, twisting over until he’s facing Sebastian. He looks up at him for a long silent minute, before breathing out a soft, somewhat watery-sounding laugh, and offering him a wan little smile.]
I’d entertained the thought. Coliseum....
thewebspinner:
[Jim doesn’t really respond to the contact, doesn’t really know how to respond, but there’s some tiny, terrified part of him that doesn’t want Sebastian to let go, some tiny irrational fear that if he does, Jim will shatter into a thousand like the mirror, that not even he will be able to put himself back together.
He does know. Thinks he does. No, he does know. What Jim doesn’t...
thewebspinner:
[In the scheme of things, it doesn’t last long at all. Not because he tires himself out, or is done with it or anything, simply because Jim doesn’t let anyone get the better of him, not even himself. He can’t help the first few minutes, where it rattles out of him and makes him feel like he could actually be dying. If he’d had the foresight to get it out of the way while he was...

[It’s really quite difficult to tell whether he’s being restrained or comforted in the gesture, whether the arms around him are designed to keep him from doing anything or just to keep him at all. He can’t really move his biceps from where they’re pinned, but the curl of his arms allows him to fist the fingers of one hand into his hair tightly, the other resting bloodied knuckles...
thewebspinner:
[He shakes for a good fifteen minutes, swallowing around the lump in his throat. It’s the glancing up that’s the mistake, Jim catches his own eye in the mirror and it’s a surge of something, something like anger or loathing that rises in him like bile. He doesn’t make a sound, no animal howl of rage, just the sound of shattering glass when his knuckles impact the mirror. There’s...

[Still, he waits. For hours. He’ll wait for days if he has to, in Jim’s living room, in the living room that’s theoretically been theirs for two days. Sebastian’s not about to consider it his though. He just happens to reside there, same as any hotel, until Jim decides otherwise.
Might be happening sooner rather than later, now. He does leave, just for a minute,...

[That’s fine. He can deal with silence. Not as well as he can deal with Jim’s anger, because then all he has to do is be angry back until they’re both beaten and bloody and most likely shagged-out as well, but he can.
Sebastian Moran is an assassin with a rifle and a goddamn first-class one at that, and most of a sniper’s job is waiting. So he will, he does, sets...

[Sebastian is practiced. More than anything it is simply experience that helps him weather and understand Jim’s moods. So it’s not the yelling or screaming that worries him, not when Jim throws dishes at him. Those are merely effects of boredom and irritation.
It’s the silence that scares him. Nobody has ever embodied the expression ‘still water runs deep’ like...

[It’s not as if anything that he hadn’t already thought, considered, felt, a thousand times before in the past had been said. The only new thing, a tiny little fact, dropped in the middle, that had turned, rippled the pond, let everything come bubbling back up again.

Push me over, then.
Jim steps up to him from behind, leaning towards his ear.
Don’t tempt me.
He smiles, pleasantly, lazily, but there is a razor sharp edge to it.

[The expression slid off his features instantly and the corners turned up in a half-smile. Lowering his hands, he brushed off his coat, fingers tucking into his pockets.] That would make you Moran, wouldn’t it? By your build, you’re suited for long-range firing, the type of muscle.. I won’t bore you with the details. One would hope you weren’t here staying out of sight,...

Have drugged and drunken orgies, shoot pictures into all the walls. Girls would walk into your closet looking for the bathroom and vomit all over your suits. There’d be cumstains on the walls and, if you’re particularly unlucky, the ceiling. All your paintings would be slashed, and there’s be blood all over the white carpets.

Is he not? That’s unfortunate then.
[Not that he cares but he’s bored and he’s got nowhere to be.]
What happened?
He got himself involved.
The curl of his nose indicates what he thinks of that.
[He snorts softly, pulls out a cigarette.]
Involved emotionally or involved with someone that wasn’t you?
He smirks at that....
