by Johniarty
Summary
     John Watson just wanted to trick-or-treat. The last person he
     expected was to meet an impossibly tall man with the creepiest
     costume he's ever seen. After a tumble, Jim Moriarty carries John
     away to eat his candy somewhere safe - of course, John doesn't know
     Jim Moriarty died three years prior...
Notes
     So this piece is... Special. It's a Halloween gift for
     SeveralGhostBats, my wonderful friend and fellow trashbag. We have an
     AU on our Rp accounts wherein Jim Moriarty came back from the dead as
     a ghastly, rotting demon, and John's so stricken with grief at his
     loss that he welcomes what used to be the man he loved back into his
     arms.
     Well, this takes their Jim and puts him with John as a child on
     Halloween. John's in a little lion costume, and he and Harry get
     separated.
     And the chaos text is how he has him speak. I think it adds to his
     unnatural air, and captures the essence of him perfectly.
     I'm so, so, SO SORRY.
     Um, Happy Halloween?
     I DIDN'T REALIZE I NEEDED TO REITERATE IT, BUT I DO NOT CONDONE THE
     ABUSE OF CHILDREN IN REAL LIFE.
Harry told him to stay put. “I won’t be long,” she swore, ruffling John’s soft
hair. Dirty blond strands stuck out every which way as he tilted his chin up,
flashing her a look far too knowing for a boy of his age. “Just stay put, John.
I’ll be back.” His sister disappeared into the party two hours ago, and John
Watson was freezing. Halloween usually meant fun, but Harriet wasn’t a little
girl anymore. He remembered the fit she threw when their father told her to
take him trick-or-treating - how she screamed, how she slammed the door, her
harsh snarl comparing her little brother to a weight around her neck…
He wanted to go home, even with only a quarter of a bag of sweets. The crowds
walking along the pavement had thinned; only brown leaves stirring in the
breeze kept him company. What was taking her so long? John couldn’t keep
waiting - not with the creaking branches and the shadows dancing in the dark.
He pushed himself up and lifted his pillowcase, casting one last glance back at
the house Harry entered.
She never saw John again.
 
No one paid attention to the lone little lion toddling down the street. He held
his bag up and shyly whispered “Trick or Treat” at every door he approached,
tagging along behind a group of kids his age. A pirate, a ghost, a robot, and a
unicorn princess laughed and giggled and swapped candy. They didn’t notice him
following a few paces behind, completely unsupervised. At Mrs. Hudson’s door,
however, he lost track of the little pack. Walking away from her door on Baker
Street, John tripped over his trainers and fell down on the pavement. His bag
fell from his hands, spilling candy all over the street.
"No!” John cried, hurrying to pick up every sweet before they were stepped on.
Pant leg torn, blood welling from the scrape on his knee, he longed for Harriet
to lift him up and tell him it was alright. A reassuring hug, kind words… Harry
was always good for that, when she happened to be around. As he sniffed and
stuffed candy back into his pillowcase, a dark shadow crept over him.
“̖̫͍W̱͇h̘̳͔̯̰͍̫y̖͈̙ ̱̗̪̤ar̻̩͎͍ͅͅͅe̮͎̻̞ ̪̟̹̮y̠̱̱̝o̻̹͇͇̹͔̲ụ̹͉

 John raised his head and wiped the tears from his cheeks. That strange,
echoing voice filled his ears and small frame, piercing him like tiny needles.
He shuddered and lifted his head to get a better look at the speaker. Long
limbs, a dirt-covered suit, white eyes and blood matting his hair… He looked
horrifying. He looked perfect.
“I just, I just tripped… I’m okay…”
“̫͖̤̱̜I̲̙̞͈ l̪̣͈͈̺̜i̭̪k͚͎͇͔̬̟͖e ͓̤̟y̗̥o̺̭̘u̼̻͔r̺̱̻͕̦

 “You…. You do?”
Nodding, the man bent down and lifted John in his arms. Black lips stretched in
a smile as he looked into John’s bright blue eyes. Through the pain John smiled
back - the man was kind, and even though he knew to be careful around strangers
John couldn’t help but feel safe in his embrace.
“Well, I like yours too. It’s scary.”
“̺͉͔̗̘ͅA͚r̭͙e̹̭̪̤̼͈ ͙̜̬͍y̼̞o̺̺u͉̝͉͔͙ ̠͍̝͓̩a̞̻͎f̟r̳̭͉̤͓̦̣a̖̣̖̜̻̪̰id̩

 “No, I don’t think so,” John answered. “It’s Halloween. You’re supposed to be
scary on Halloween.”
As John spoke, the costumed man raised his head and glanced around the street.
A few stragglers hurried from house to house, but it remained otherwise
deserted. So far, they were safe from prying eyes.

 “My sister, um…. My sister and I got separated. It was an accident.” The lie
slipped easily from his lips as his new friend inspected the wound on his knee.
John left Harry willingly, yes, but only after she left him first. He just
wanted to get away from the cold and that dark. John just wanted to trick or
treat.
 “̦̺Y͍̥̠o̖̙̰̗̣ụ͈̜̼̱͖ p̝̮o̖̩͎̠̼̠̭o͈̹̘͉r̻͓ ̭͖͓̩t͔͖hi̮̞̭̙̫n̹͎͈̟g̤.̰̪̣͉̩

 John let out a soft gasp as the man pressed a kiss to his scraped knee. Blood
smeared over his lips, but he didn’t seem to mind at all. As John watched, a
pale tongue traced over the mess and licked it clean.
“̺̝̱̖͔͓Do͔ ̩̺͎͍̲͚ͅy͍̩ͅou ̭h̰̜͓̗͉̩a̟̹̙ve̯̟͔̲̹̻ ̙a̙̯̺̼̦ ̥̥̭̩͎nam̳e͖̪̹ͅ?͉̬”͔

 “I… Y-es, yes I do.” Around them, the air grew noticeably frigid. One by one
the street lights flickered out, leaving them alone in a ring of light. John
pressed against the man out of pure instinct, seeking his warmth - but there
was no warmth coming from his body.
“̯̥̫̼̖̺͚D̘͈̪̱̜a̝̹̲̹dd̯̯̬̥͍̲y͈͈̱͎’sͅ ̙͕͖̬͙̻g͓̪̩͙̣̞ͅo͙i͉͔̤n̝̖g̹̯̙ to͍̤̘̝̳̥

 Shadows gathered, enveloping the pair in a cloak of darkest black. Unable to
see, John let out a whimper and knotted his small fist in the lapel of his new
friend’s suit. Though he trembled with fear, he didn’t raise a single
objection. The pale, spider-like hand that cupped his head protected him as
they sank into the pavement, disappearing from the street entirely.
All that remained of their presence was a single piece of caramel laying
beneath the lamp post.
 
When the man released John, he lifted his eyes and peeked around at his
surroundings. They stood in a house that seemed to belong in one of Harry’s
horror movies. Once opulent, the furniture lay covered in dust and cobwebs. It
felt as though no one lived there, if anyone ever had.
“I… I never got your name,” John whispered, trying to distract himself from the
odd change of scenery. He dreamed it; all of it, a nightmare. He must be
sleeping. That felt like the only proper explanation for what happened.
“͎̟͚̦̝J͍̜i͓̜m̥̘ ̳͓M͇o̥̫̦̪͍̦ṛ̳̠͓͕͙i͖͚̘̭̜̗̝a̱͈̼̥̟̝̫r͍̗t̪̼̩̖͕̯̝y̮͙̹̰̰̪̣.̦̜̟̘ͅ

 “Um, hi, Jim.”

͇̮̪̪͔̜h̳͖̰͕͎̮̙u͎͙̩r͇̰̺t͇̘͍̠͖?”͚͙
 John glanced down at his scraped knee and sniffed. His skin stung, and it hurt
to move. Jim promised he’d make him feel better, when they were on Baker
Street. Would he still help now?
“Y-yes. Yes, I do.”
While John watched, Jim set him down on the dusty sofa and reached into his bag
of candy. After a few moments he pulled out a handful of chocolates. With
steady, careful fingers, he unwrapped one piece, eyes never leaving John’s.
“O͇̘͙̳͔͚p̭̭̺e̮n?̞̮̰͙͓̹̮”̣̬̯͇
 John parted his lips, curious. Cold fingers slipped the treat between his
lips, and John sucked on the chocolate while Jim inspected his wound. While
John seemed distracted, he bent low and lapped at the raw skin. Jim’s tongue,
cold and wet, helped soothe the burn of John’s scrape. He moaned, a low,
shuddering sound as he cleaned John’s wound. When no traces of blood remained,
Jim produced a gauze pad. From where, John couldn’t be sure, but it didn’t much
matter to him. He cooed happily as his candy melted in his mouth. When the
gauze lay taped against his skin, he swallowed and smiled up at the monstrous
visage of Jim Moriarty.
“That didn’t hurt,” he said softly. “It… it felt weird, but it didn’t hurt.
Thank you.”
“͈Yo͎u͉’̫̦͉̭r̞̺̼͉̯̱̹e̥ ̩̫̯w͕͖̪͇̜͈͇e̦͔͉lco̫̞͚͖m̭e̜͕͓,͇”̦̹̘ Jim replied, voice
rumbling in his chest.
 John’s small, soft hand reached up to touch Jim’s jaw, stroking over his
greying skin. How did he get his makeup so realistic? It feltlike real skin.
Well, of course it was real skin - but John couldn’t feel the makeup. No grainy
foundation dyed for the corpse-like look, no contouring powder… Did the rest of
his costume feel the same?
“I, um, I like your makeup. Especially your lipstick.
Chuckling, Jim touched his blackened lips. Did John still think he wore a
costume for the holiday? What a sweet, innocent boy. He leaned in, tilting
John’s chin up with two cold fingers, and kissed him.
John’s eyes widened as Jim’s tongue slipped between his lips, kissing him
deeply. He didn’t know what to do; in his whole life, John never kissed anyone.
Not like this. Cooing, he tried to copy what Jim did, letting him lead. When
they finally parted, he blinked up at Jim as if in a daze.
“That’s -- that’s not lipstick, is it?” His voice shook as he reached forward,
brushing his fingertips against Jim’s lips to check. Cool, slightly damp, but
the black didn’t wipe away. It felt like normal skin, if a little looser.
“͖͎̬̦͈̩̣N̩̼͕̝o̟̰̻̞̹̲,̣̼͖͈̩͔ ͇̘͔̺̪J̹o̯̩͔͕̻h͍͕̹͇n͙n̻̬y͙͖͚̙,̯̟̥͓̘͖”̱͉̗̠͖̠͙ Jim

 Tears welled in John’s eyes as the realization sunk in. Jim wore no costume;
his sunken eyes, the hole blown in his skull, everything about his outfit was
real.Somehow he ended up with a monster. No one knew where he went, no one
would look for him… He would die here, he felt so sure of it.

 Jim’s black eyes widened as he scooped John in his arms and carried him toward
the back of the house.
“͓̳͕̠̖̠̗I͈̠̯ c̙̮̦̫a̜̟̭̹̼̤̬n ̬͈̯̹f͙̼̜͚i̜̰x͓̹̱̣̘ ͅi̼̻̻t̥͔,̗̯̮ ̖͉̮̹̭̟l̜̘̤et̼̺̩

 When they reached the bedroom, dusty candles flared to life and Jim lay his
little lion on the bed. Long fingers slid over his costume, sharp nails tipped
with black pressing gently against him.
Still crying, John sniffed as Jim’s hands slid beneath him to unzip his
costume. Beneath it he wore nothing but a pair of red pants, bright against his
slightly tanned skin. Jim let out an appreciative coo and kissed up John’s bare
chest, pausing over his beating heart. So alive, so warm, and so innocent… How
could Jim resist him? John lay paralyzed by fear, though he welcomed each
gentle touch and each soft groan of pleasure. Whatever Jim might be, he was
careful and tender when he interacted with John. One hand slipped lower,
cupping John through his pants, and John gasped. No one should touch him there,
right? So why did it feel so good when Jim did it?
“̲̞͔̺̹̖̟J̼͓̝̻͎̼̬o͓̙̼͇̲̟̼hṉ̟ͅn̯y̲…̼̜̳͉͚ ̹̜͕̫̘ͅM̖͍͍̦a͇̺y͙̦͚̳̱̙ ͎Ḭ̖̞̬̩͔̰

John took a shuddering breath and nodded. Sure, Jim could undress him. Though
terrified of the strange creature, Jim really did treat him nice. Nicer than
his father, nicer even than Harry.
With his permission, Jim slid them off his legs until John was completely
naked. The little lion hood stayed on, though - he likedit, and more
importantly he liked John wearing it. With his big, black eyes focused up on
John, Jim lowered his head and ran his long tongue over John’s little cock,
feeling it harden beneath him. He moaned, sliding a hand up John’s unmarred
thigh. So soft, so sweet… the best confection Jim ever tasted.
As he lapped at his skin, John whimpered and reached down to touch his head.
Avoiding the hole was difficult, but John managed to find a soft patch of hair
to stroke instead. It felt good,somehow. Those naughty, dirty licks made him
feel warm and tingly all over. Sighing, he arched his back and leaned into
Jim’s mouth.
Kneeling at the foot of the bed, Jim’s own arousal grew difficult to ignore. He
wanted,god, how he wanted… It would be so easy to drop his tattered suit and
let the writhing mass of tentacles tangle around Johnny, wetting his muscle and
stretching him open - but that could wait. After tonight, they would have
forever to explore one another. Right now, all that mattered to him was easing
John’s fears through gentle pleasures.
“J-Jim,” John panted, watching as Jim took him fully into his mouth. “That’s -
I, I like that, please… Don’t stop…”
Jim had no intention of stopping, not until John came across his wicked tongue.
The way he writhed and whined, he didn’t think it’d take much longer. John’s
noises became more unintelligible, breathy and desperate as his grip in Jim’s
hair tightened. He rocked into his mouth, fucking his face as best he could
with no exposure and no practice. Even so, it thrilled Jim, and he couldn’t
help but wonder how John would be with more experience under his belt. He could
feed on his lust for ages, if he was careful…
“Daddy!” John cried, coming without warning. His hips jerked forward as his
prick pulsed between Jim’s lips, body rigid with pleasure. Sweat dampened the
hair on his brow as he gasped for breath, his soft skin flushed. Oh, he loved
that - fear forgotten for the moment, John slumped onto the mattress and cooed
happily.
Jim licked him clean, moaning in turn. He pulled off with an obscene pop and
crawled into bed beside him, eager to cradle John in his arms. He didn’t fear
him; Jim could smell the change in John’s demeanor, and it wasn’t hard to see
that he didn’t want to leave.
“That… that was…”
“̱̲͍̣̻Ỵ̣̺̤͚͖̭o̳̗̺͕͚͓̟ụ̲̗̩̹ ͈̪̮̪̳̩e̥̖̰n͈ͅj̟͚̞̲̤o̺̝͎y̺͓̠̬͕e̤̙͚̭̬d̥̫
̩̘̯i̖̖̳t͇͕?”̰̖̦̟͖͎
“Yes. Oh, Jim - Daddy - I loved that.”
He peeked up at Jim, thinking a moment. That felt good… Maybe he could make Jim
feel good too. Licking his lips, John stretched his neck up and kissed Jim’s
chin.
“Is, um… is there something I could do that would feel like that to you?”
The sun peeked through the windows, the barest hint of dawn on the horizon. Jim
would need rest soon, lest his body fall apart. Even though his body demanded
attention, he didn’t dare force consciousness during the day.
“̤T̻͈o̙̰n̯̪͚̣̺̱͚i͔gh̤͍̖̝̠̝̪ṯ͙̘,̣̺̤̜͎̥̰ ̙͙̹͖͓y̞͓̙e̘̥̲̗s͚͎̰”,͇̖̖̞͙ he promised

 “... Yes, Daddy. I’ll sleep with you.”
Humming, Jim pulled the blankets over their bodies - more for Johnny’s benefit
than his - and closed his eyes. Just before he sank into his torpor, he swore
he heard John whisper happy halloweenand giggle softly.
Oh, he would never let Johnny go.
