Jim sat in the living room of one of his hideouts. It was a three bedroom, two bath house with an attic and basement. Quite quaint, really. It was located in the suburbs just outside of London. He shared the place with Seb on occasion. One bedroom each plus an office for Jim.
Today he was waiting for his favourite sniper to arrive so Jim could reveal his big birthday surprise. He'd never really done much for Seb's birthday, but he'd gotten up this morning and felt in the mood for a good party. Actually, he mostly felt in the mood to make a lot of food, so he did. All of Seb's favourites, plus a few of Jim's, and a variety of desserts. He almost wished he could invite Korey over, if mostly just to share the food with her. He loved eating with her. It just felt so... domestic, in a nice way.
The food was all laid out nicely, except for the things that needed to remain heated or cooled, so now Jim sprawled on the couch boredly as he waited for Seb to come home.
