❝ DON’T BE SO BITTER, DARLING. it’s unbecoming of you. ❞ dismissive, the woman lands herself atop his settee with smooth finesse. palms rest atop the single arm, nails drumming against the cloth. ❝ you’re much better company when you’re cocky enough to compete with me is this reign of resentment because i had dinner with the posh boy ? ❞
‘ DON’T BE SILLY. why would i have set you two up if i didn’t want you to . . . mingle. ’ his voice was low, his mind absent. something on his phone. information, no doubt. ‘ i’ll tell you something . . . i’ve never seen the lad so depressed. you really did a number on the sod. ’ he turned the phone to her, an unflatteringly papped picture of the glum detective. ‘ ---like a kicked puppy. ’

THE DEVIL smiles like a split wrist , tosses salt over his shoulder for luck. a mess : making a mess of the great sherlock holmes’ kitchen ———– no use to stop him , the crime scene can only be cleaned after a crime has been committed. poised with practised visage : the illusion of patience as nerves pull tight to be played by the cruelest violinist MORIARTY // a spider whose web catches fire in the corners of his mind. ❛ oh no , by all means make a mess of things. I’d hate to INTERRUPT in a time like this. ❜
‘ OH, how sweet of you. for a minute there, i thought i was causing a ruckus. ’ as if it would have stopped him. moriarty scoured the kitchen, having already sifted through the lounge before the great sherlock holmes had come home. ‘ i picked up your mail. too many takeout menus, so i threw some away. actually, ’ he winced, ‘ ---there might have been a valentines in there too, but you can sort that out, i’m sure. ’ the spider allowed his attention to be taken, turning to the detective, pulling down his jacket, removing the creases. ‘ so? i trust you got my . . . messages. i tried to make it simple, but i know how you do love to complicate things. ’

❛ EAGER TO TEDIOUSLY WALK THROUGH TEA AGAIN , to waste my time on conversations like these – i have been told to be more social. ❜ though jabs at his atypical relationship with the woman went ignored , the detective lifted from his place , hands slipping easily into his trouser pockets. ❛ I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION there was little fun in showing your cards. ❜
‘ please, that’s where all the fun is. i can’t see the bewilderment on your face, otherwise. ’ THEY SHARED A SILENCE, sharks encircling one another : an endless game, neither one nor the other ever dealing a fatal blow. ‘ i suppose you’re here about the little clue i left you. john got it to you alright, did he? isn’t he sweet. ’

❛ BETWEEN BOTH OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULES ? ❜ inclination of his head , a narrowing of his eyes in accordance with the newfound tone of the conversation – almost playful. a back and forth between two equal forces. ❛ PERHAPS A BUSINESS MEETING would be more interesting. ❜
‘ STILL DOESN’T EXPLAIN why you’re here, though. ’ he chewed and sucked at the gum in his mouth, almost failing to deign a glance at the detective. ‘ the naked thing was a one-off, you know ? she’s not always like that. at least when i’m not here. ’ FACING HIM, the spider patted at his lapels : pervasive. ‘ HOPE YOU’RE NOT looking for a ménage à trois. ’

❛ A BUSINESS MEETING , I PRESUME ? ❜ icy gaze licks the scene , slight details not nearly quenching the curiosity of the other’s presence in such a place.
‘ YOU DON’T THINK SHE’S OPEN TO SOCIAL CALLS ? ’ light oxfords clip and the varnished wood, a pale finger drawn along the length of a mantlepiece : approaching. ‘ is that just because you’ve never been invited ? ’

i live in the american gardens building on west 81st street on the 11th floor. my name is patrick bateman. i’m 27 years old. i believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. in the morning, if my face is a little puffy, i’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. i can do a thousand now. after i remove the ice pack, i use a deep pore cleanser lotion. in the shower, i use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. then i apply an herb-mint facial masque, which i leave on for 10 minutes while i prepare the rest of my routine. i always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out, and makes you look older. then moisturiser, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturising, protective lotion. there is an idea of a patrick bateman. some kind of abstraction. but there is no real me. only an entity. something illusory. and though i can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, i simply am not there.

MINOR TREPIDATION restricted from reigning supreme , the detective moved in long strides to his kitchen. excuse for a kitchen. hands busy , though ears and mind kept busier , he stood straighter in response to his company’s constant jabs. rigid , stiff. ‘ IN THAT CASE , if your goal is to get serious , by all means. so , what’s it all for ? ’ brave. his grip tightened on a platter littered with that which would normally go unto welcomed guests in any other household ; 221B had a penchant for the abnormal. reacquainting himself with the room , sherlock set down his tray , first to tend to his opposite before himself. ‘ SHADOW – MIGHT that allow for me being one step ahead ? ’ buying into the game – his game , dancing with the shadows instead of turning off the light and levelling the playing field. handing the cup down , he’d turn to his platter once more.
❝ not really. just means you’re doing all the hard work for me. you set them up and i knock ‘em down. ❞ their game was tantalising. one which the spider felt could not be lost. their infinite loop, spiralling until one fell from the wheel. moriarty knew where to put his money. he took the saucer, a pale finger hooking into the cup’s handle and bringing its rim to the coy smile that plagued his lips. ❝ it only gets worse from here, you know. no more playing around, sherlock, the game’s getting serious now. ❞ the cup back to its saucer, fingers drumming into his kneecap. ❝ it’s a matter of life and death. ❞ a smile, mocking the theatrics the freelance detective was all too fond of. ❝ the game is afoot, an’ all that. ❞ the suited man slumped into his chair of temporal residence, attention reverting to the mutilated fruit in his possession. ❝ so go on, sherlock, tell me. who would you hate to lose the most? ❞

A WHIP , SLICING THROUGH stagnant , stale air , the bow was set by his wayside. hands then bare instead found each other , fingers lacing together whilst his company seemed to make himself so at home in spite of a welcome already expired. mouth laced shut , though his gaze would fixate on pinpoints of the other to hopeless result. moments of silence followed the conclusion of the spider’s scathing tongue entrapped within its cage of pearly whites. weight finding the floor , and digits unravelling , the detective arose from his place , footfalls somewhat gingerly padding at creaking wooden boards. FEAR ? no , caution. ‘ IF YOUR SOLITARY goal is to pry into my bedroom habits , i regret to inform you that you’ve wasted your own time. the door is firmly open. ’ NO SECRETS ; but none would dare , or bother. save for one woman. THE woman.
❝ what a dirty little liar. i know your secrets, sherlock holmes. don’t think your private life’s so private. ❞ the answer came almost immediately, a succinct desire to demonstrate truth as quickly as possible. no comfort could be found in bearing fallacies. another chunk, cut from the shape, destroyed again within a porcelain jaw. ❝ if we can’t talk about the menial, how are we ever going to be serious with each other? ❞ again, he left a gap, a moment to register. ❝ we’ve been dancing for a long time, sherlock. you just haven’t noticed it. how does that feel? not even realising the one you need to stop the most. . . has been hiding behind you all along. that must break your poor, poor heart. ❞ a smile of white, a spider’s smile, its supper now spun. ❝ where’s that tea? ❞

❝ I’M HAPPY TO INFORM YOU that you aren’t that special. i think of you just as little as i think of anyone else who isn’t me . ❞ he certainly isn’t a credit to the male species – she thinks them all to be terribly similar & mundane . prideful without warrant & utterly useless .
❝ ————– & while your ignorance is absolutely adorable, you’ve clearly not got the slightest grasp on me if you believe a man can make me feel anything other than vague annoyance . so ———– i don’t want to keep you from your activities ; feel free to fuck off any time now . ❞
❝ O-KAY, TOUCHY. easy mistake to make. i imagine a look from you can make a person infertile. ❞ ADORABLE. and so quickly wound up. if he were honest, he’d have to admit some disappointment. it usually takes a few goes. BUT, there is, indeed, a first time for everything.
❝ BUT GO ON. . . convince me to stay. let’s not lie to ourselves. you like me too much. who wouldn’t ? ❞ and even with his already delicious success, the spider would be a fool to sacrifice further opportunities. ❝ is it the charm, or my natural warmth ? BET THE ACCENT gets you hot and sweaty, too. ❞

A PAUSE , pads of his fingers running bare ‘long fine hairs glistening gold in low light. lips slightly tighter in the middle , cupid’s bow down-pressed ; the very mention of the woman causing a momentary narrowing of his eyes , the fine lines beneath his inner corners deepening so quickly , only a hummingbird would have caught it. ‘ ARE you an aficionado on the topic ? ’ another pause ; clarification , perhaps. or a jab to be parried. ‘ FEELINGS ? ’
he left the question in the air, not deigning to dignify yet. he thumped further into the flat, an apple swept up into his hand, buffed against his jacket. ❝ i know them when i see them. do you? ❞ rhetoric. he moved further, assigning himself the seat of the detective. ❝ get some tea on, sherlock - i’m parched. ❞ and with the imperative assured, he took to picking at the fruit, a blade to pierce. ❝ i think she liked you, y’know. never heard of her crying before. except with pleasure, of course. ❞ a piece ground between his teeth, a corner of his lips rising in implication. ❝ but you wouldn’t know about that, would you? ❞

❝ oh. something’s got your juices flowing. was it miss adler? ❞ stood in the doorway, an undesired observer. or perhaps that’s exactly what was desired. to presume the mind of sherlock holmes was to waste one’s own time and pain one’s mind. or bore it. ❝ those. . . gentle notes. you didn’t catch feelings, did you? ❞ ━ @notheroics.

❝ THERE HE IS. ❞ his confidence as per, pale hands sunken deep into his trouser pockets, men at either side as he would greet the british government. ❝ my handsome man. you’re looking well, mike. take that statement as you will. ❞ glances sent to both his sides, his neck canted as he returned his address to the man before him. ❝ ARE THESE TWO coming with ? this one looks like he needs a toilet break. ❞ // @patricianborn.
