I am very late to this lol, but thanks so much for tagging me @allwaswell16 and @stormy-28!!
This is a snippet for my upcoming fic for the next round of the @larryafterdarkfest!
Featuring Detective Harry and Mob boss Louis. Enemies to lovers.
TW: dead body and some gore (no main character death).
Harry’s pretty sure he can feel the exhaustion all the way to his bones.
All he wants to do is take a scalding hot shower and fall face first into his sheets.
He freezes when he reaches the doorway to his bedroom though, and blinks for a moment in a somewhat futile attempt to comprehend what he’s looking at.
There’s a naked man in his bed.
It’s a dark haired man, looks to be in his late fifties if Harry had to guess. He’s generally fit for his age and seems to be well groomed. Or at least from what Harry can see. His head is slumped down over his chest unnaturally.
That’s probably on account of the ten or so stab wounds littering his chest and torso. Harry doesn’t even bother to check for a pulse. Judging by the amount of blood that’s seeped its way into Harry’s formerly white cotton sheets, it’s obvious this man is very dead.
It’s recent though. Harry can tell by the color of the blood. Not yet fully oxidized.
He takes a few tentative steps into the room and bends down so he can get a better look at the man’s face. It only confirms what he suspected. He recognizes this man.
Of course, most people would.
He’s the mayor of London.
Or, it appears that he was.
Absolutely no pressure, but I’m tagging @homosociallyyours, @emilarry, @lydiejo, @alwaysmadeatmidnights and anyone else who wants to share!
