Hello! Sorry I took some time to finish this chapter. It's because I'm
writing two fics at a time. And when I finish 'Tell me your dreams' there'll
be 'Living the dream' to update too! Oh,well. Anyway,I do promise to
finish all my fics! It's crazy when you have sooo many plot bunnies
running inside your head and you just *HAVE* to write them down. :P

* Anon: New chapter up! Sorry for the delay!
* Cait: Thanks for the praise! Hope you like this chapter!
* Lydia: Hey,luv! Haven't read anything from you in a while. Where are
you? I'm so missing "Leave me lying here"!!! Hope you're alright.
Thanks for your praise,as always. As for this fic,well,I suggested a
James/Elizabeth pairing,but I don't think I'll write anything more about
them. I'll leave it for you all to imagine what happened between them. ;)
Now I want to write only Jack/Will! ;))
* PJ: I didn't imagine someone would feel so touched by Elizabeth's
behavior. But I agree with you. She doesn't love Will at all,because she
is very intolerant. And it was sad for Will. But don't worry! The owho who really matters will only take care of him. *w* And no,the Commodore
doesn't know what happened to Will,he just happened to find him unconscious
at the smithy. I wanted to make Norrington to be the rapist,but I thought
better and made him like Will instead. Is it due to my recent liking of
Norrington/Will pairing? LOL Dunno. Anyway,also,no chance to have a N/W.
The Commodore and Elizabeth will probably vanish from the fic from now
on.
Okay! I hope you like this chapter! Please review!!!!

It didn't take many days for Will to realize he really liked Jack's
company. The pirate was always concerned about him,and did everything
he could to make Will feel better,although he knew it wouldn't be this
easy. Anyway,Jack needed to make Will know that he wasn't alone,that he
didn't need to pass through all that suffering alone.
Will worked all day,trying to forget the rape,but it was impossible. Work
made him feel better,but never forget what had happened days ago. Jack
spent most of the time at the smithy with Will,but he sometimes went out
to drink. Now that he had a temporary pardon,he could be seen in town by
the officers. Most of them weren't pleased to see a pirate wandering
freely by the streets of Port Royal,but didn't have the authority to do
anything. After all,the Commodore had pardoned him and though the officers
weren't pleased,they thought the Commodore had made a good deed to Will,
letting the boy's friend stay alive.
Jack drank at the taverns and simesimes went to brothels,but never stayed
much time at those places. He tried to come back before Will finished
working and spend the evening talking to him. Will felt really better
with Jack by his side.
Jack often brought him presents,just to make Will feel happier. That was
one of the reasons that made Will realize how good it was to have Jack
as a company. Who could imagine a /pirate/ would be so kind? Jack also
worried about Will's excessive working. He said:
"You're working too much,Will. Come,let's wander by the beach."
But,unless it was 8PM or later,Will never went out. Will only stopped
working when he needed to eat or deal with other necessities.
Ten days after being rescued from the jail,Jack started to worry about
his crew. They would be in Tortuga for sure,but Jack couldn't stay at
Port Royal for much longer,or else the crew would thie hae had been hung
or killed any other way. As there was no way to inform them he was well,
Jack started to realize he had to leave Port Royal soon.
He wanted to take Will with him. But he didn't know how the boy would
react. Would he really want to be a pirate? Was his suffering enough for
him to leave the town he had d fod for almost ten years?
Jack thought about all the possibilities and felt stunned when he realized
the only thing he didn't want was to stay away Wil Will. He would remain
with the boy,no matter what.
Jack tried,very discreetly,to approach Will in a more intimate way. He
knew Will would need some time to have real sex,but whenever he could,
Jack tried to touch Will differently,or kiss him on the cheek without a
reason. The boy took the affections well,but was oblivious of what they
meant to Jack. To Will,Jack was just an affectionate man who considered
him a friend and liked him a lot. Will wouldn't imagine tho thought
differently.
----
Two weeks had passed. Jack and Will had already talked about Jack's need
to go back to Tortuga. Will was sad; he didn't want Jack to go so soon.
Two days before Jack was planning to go,Will asked:
"Do you really need to leave the day after tomorrow?" Will asked sadly.
"I'm afraid I do,lad." Jack replied. "My crew is waiting for me in Tortuga.
If I don't show up soon,they'll think I'm dead or something worse and
sail away with my Pearl to God knows where."
Will just nodded. He didn't know why,but this piece of information made
him feel almost depressed. It was like it would be even more difficulo cao carry on without Jack by his side. It was already difficult with him,
and would be worse without him.
Jack hugged Will tightly and kissed his forehead. Will's eyes watered
at that little affection and he wiped them quickly,not wanting to look
even more helpless to Jack's eyes.
"Care to walk by the beach?" Jack asked softly.
"Fine," Will replied,and they went.
They walked for some time and when they both were tired,they sat on the
sand. Jack was sad too,because he needed to leave. He took one of Will's
hands and said:
"Why don't you come with me? It's okay if you don't want it," he explained
quickly. "...but if you want it,you can leave with me."
Will thought about it. Jack had asked him if he wanted to go before,but
Will didn't know. It would mean leaving all he knew as a life behind.
It wasn't an easy decision. But the part of his heart that wanted to go
with Jack kept telling him his life would change,and he would be happier
this way. What kind of life it was to stay locked inside a smithy,after
all?
Jack's voice startled him:
"How are you feeling today?"
Will smiled at him. Jack was always like that. He was always worried about
him. Will felt better because of that,but was afraid he was starting to
feel depressed because of the rape.
"The same,Jack. Outside I seem happy and all,but deep inside I'm broken.
You know that."
Jack nodded,pulling Will closer to him. "What do you have left here?"
"What do you mean?"
"You say you don't know if you want to come with me. What holds you here?"
Will would say "my work" but was it true? Did it really mean something
other for Will than survsurvival? Almost reading his thoughts,Jack said:
"If it's the smithy,you can work anywhere,you know. You're good,I'm sure
you won't be without a job for long. And I could also make a smithy
inside the Pearl. If you wanted to travel with me,I mean."
Will felt touched by the gesture. "You really want me to go," he smiled.
"'Course I do." Jack looked away. He knew he wanted to look after Will
and not only that. He wanted more.
He approached Will and touched his hair with trembling hands. "I care
for you. Too much."
Will looked at Jack in the eye. Even if he was blind,he could feel the
love there. Will didn't say anything. He just stared at Jack,as if trying
to guess what he really meant with that last stent.ent. Was it what he
thought it was?
Will felt afraid,and didn't make any move. After some time,he looked away
and Jack waited patiently. After what seemed like ages,Will said:
"I care for you too. Too much."
The unexpected statement made Jack's heart beat faster. He touched Will's
face,and the boy leaned into the touch. The sun was setting,and the sky
was filled with shades of golden and blue. Will looked at the setting sun
and said:
"You know I can't give you all you need in a relationship. Not now."
Softly,Jack pulled Will's face to look at him again. They looked in the
eye again,and this time Will's lips were trembling.
"I know." Jack said softly. "I don't care."
Jack kissed Will's lips wall all the care in the world. He would never
forgive himself if he scared the boy away. He felt Will respond softly,
moving his lips slowly and carefully. Then,their tongues met,still very
carefully.
Jack felt like he was in heaven,kissing his angel. The kiss was so soft,
but so full of meaning for him. He was sure he loved Will. He just hadn't
known how to voice it. He wanted to say, "I love you", but he wasn't
good with the words.
From his part,Will felt pleasantly surprised. When he finally realized
Jack was in love with him,some minutes ago,he had felt so light,as if he
could fly. It wasn't difficult to realize he was in love himself.
They broke the kiss reluctantly,in need of air. Will just smiled,and Jack
smiled back. They stayed there,holding one another,and kissing from time
to time.
They went to Will's smithy again,and to Will's room,not to do anything
else,just to stay together.
They barely talked; it wasn't needed. They touched,kissed and felt loved
by each other. Just before they went to sleep in each other's arms,Will
said:
"I want to go with you."
Jack buried his face on Will's chest and kissed it. "I know."
Will smiled in the darkness and let the night lull him to sleep.
---
Jack and Will had already packed the day before they would leave. They
were feeling very close to one another. Though Will couldn't have sex,
he and Jack kissed and caressed one another all the time. Jack was
completely in love,and for that reason,he couldn't believe his ears when
Will told him:
"Go have a whore tonight,Jack. I know you want to."
"Now why would I want it when I have ye,Will?"
"Because I'm useless in that matter,Jack." Will replied bitterly. "Go."
Jack knew Will was hurting. The boy was feeling bitter,and Jack didn't
like that at all. He tried to reassure his lover:
"Will...I may be wantin' sex,but I have no wish to have it with other
than ye."
"But...but..." Will whimpered. "I can't..."
"Shh,it's okay. I know ye can't. I'll wait for ye." Jack kissed Will's
hair,breathing on his scent,and held him against his chest.
Will sighed,and sat on the bed. He was depressed and didn't want to bug
Jack with that.
"So,go have a drink or something,Jack. I'm not in a good mood today and
I don't want to be a pain to you."
Jack had noticed Will was grumbling and complaining more than usual that
day. But he didn't care. He knew what Will had been going through.
"I could use a drink,but only if you go with me."
"No. I don't want to go out tonight."
Jack sighed. "Then I'll stay."
"I want to be alone."
Jack looked at Will,a bit sadly. Why didn't Will want to stay with him?
But Jack just said: "Okay," caressed Will's face and left to a tavern.
While Jack drank his mug of rum,he wondered why people couldn't stop
looking at him that night. Okay,he was a pirate and always got some weird
looks after being pardoned by Norrington,but that night it was too much.
Almost everyone seemed to be staring at him.
'What the fuck?' Jack thought,a bit uncomfortably.
Then Jack saw officers wandering by the street and then Norrington. He
entered the tavern.
"Jack Sparrow." the Commodore spoke gravely. "You're arrested."
"It's *Captain* Jack Sparrow,my dear Commodore,and...what did you say?"
Jack couldn't believe his ears. That was a night for surprises.
First,Will wanted him to take a whore and now Norrington wanted to arrest
him again.
"You're arrested for trying to harm Mr. Turner."
"WHAT?!" Jack was stunned.
"People saw you both on the beach yesterday,Mr. Sparrow. They said the
boy was going to be raped again."
"Are you going fucking NUTS?!?!" Jack almost screamed. "Me and Will were
there just spending some time together!"
"This wasn't what I heard,Mr. Sparrow."
"And who the fuck told you this lie?"
"It was a man,whose iity ity I'm not going to say. You could harm him,
you know. Though now you'll be going to the jail again,so..." the officers
approached to put Jack in chains,but skedsked calmly:
"Commodore Norrington." He was almost polite. "I'm giving you my word I
didn't harm Will. I have an idea. Why don't we go ask him?"
Norrington sighed. "No. You're going to the jail. I'm being too soft on
you already."
And with that Jack was chained and taken to the jail again.
When he was there,he just sighed:
"Could you please inform Will I'm here?" He asked Norrington. "He's going
to inform you all I didn't harm him." Jack's voice was calm,a voice of
a person who knew to be innocent.
Norrington decided to do as Jack asked. Actually,he didn't believe Jack
would harm Will. But the man who accused him had been so emphatic...
The Commodore went to Will's smithy and knocked at the door.
No answer.
The door was locked this time. After being raped,Will had never left the
door unlocked again.
The Commodore went to the other side of the smithy. Maybe the back door
was unlocked,or Will was near there and would listen to the knocks.
Just before Norrington got there,he saw that the window was broken. Looking
inside the smithy by the window,he didn't see anything.
"Mr. Turner?" He called.
Will didn't show up. But a masked stranger did.
He pointed a gun at Norrington.
"Go away,or I'll kill you."
Norrington swallowed dry,but pulled his gun as well,a quick movement that
the other man didn't catch in time to shoot at him.
"No. /You/ put this gun down or I'll kill you." Norrington said.
Both men stood there,as if paralyzed. Then Norrington noticed something.
"/You/!!! You were the one who went to my office today to tell me about
Jack Sparrow harming Mr. Turner! You were lying,you son of a bitch. I
recognize your voice!"
The man shot him,but Norrington turned away quickly. He shot the man's
shoulder just to make him fall.
The man cried in pain,clutching his bleeding shoulder,and fell to the
ground. The Commodore entered the house by the window and,first of all,
he took off the man's mask.
"But who are you?"
"I'm no one." the man grumbled,hissing in pain.
Norrington had n see seen this man. And then he saw Will,on his knees,
coming from his room,totally naked. And Norrington understood everything.
"You were the one who raped him the first time."
"The first...and the second!" The man spat. "He's not going to heal this
time."
With a quick move,the man grabbed Will and put his gun to the boy's
head. Will shivered,trembling with fear and hate.
"Now go away,you damned Commodore!"
Norrington continued to point his gun at the man's head.
"I know your face now. You'll be hanged anywhere. I just have to contact
my acquaintances." Norrington sighed. "I know you are a pirate."
"This boy will be dead much sooner than that." The man pressed the gun
at Will's temple even harder,obviously irritated by this piece of information
he didn't know Norrington knew. "Go,or I'll kill him."
But at that time,all the officers in the Royal Navy enclosed the house.
They brought down the door,and pointed their guns at the man.
"Fuck." he grumbled and got away quickly by the window,receiving shots
but none of them enough to make him stop.
"Run after him!!!" Norrington ordered. "Gilette,you stay here."
"Yes,Commodore."
The officers went after the man,but no one could catch him. He had simply
vanished.
----
"How did you realize what was going on here?" Norrington asked Gilette,
while helped Will put on his clothes,feeling really sorry for the boy.
Being raped once would be hell,but what about tw
"M
"Murtogg was making watch near here and heard threatenings. We figured
it would be best if we checked what was going on,even if we were mistaken."
"I can't understand." Norrington said. "The man didn't steal anything.
Isn't it,Mr. Turner?"
Will nodded,still trembling. "Nor did he steal anything the other time."
"Did you know him?" Norrington asked.
"Never seen him before." Will choked. "Oh,God,where's Jack?" He cried.
Norrington raised from the chair abruptly. "Gilette,would you please go
and release Sparrow?"
"Certainly,Commodore." The lieutenant soon left.
"Is he arrested?" Will asked desperately. "Why? Oh,God,we are going to
leave tomorrow."
"I'm sorry,William." Norrington said. "This man...the one who...you know...
came earlier to my office to say he had seen Sparrow harming you at
the beach yesterday."
"And you fucking believed him?" Will screamed. "Why didn't you ask other
people what had happened?"
"Calm down,Turner." Norrington said. "Of course I needed more witnesses.
And all of them said they saw you with Sparrow at the beach and he was...
um,touching you,or something."
"But he wasn't harming me! He was kissing me!" Will blushed furiously,
but he was glad it was half from anger.
"Oh." Norrington fell silent. "Well,then I was mistaken."
"/Very/." Will glared at him. "My private life doesn't concern to anyone."
"I know,Mr. Turner,could you please calm down? Sparrow is being released
now."
"I hope so." Will continued to glare at Norrington.
Jack entered the house hurriedly some minutes later.
"Will!" He ran to his lover. He had heard everything that had happened.
"Oh,Jack..." Will started to cry. He was holding his tears,but when he
saw the man he loved and trusted he couldn't hide them anymore.
"Oh,Will...it's gonna be okay,luv...I'll take care of ye..." Jack held him
tightly against his chest. Gilette gave an excuse and left,but Norrington
stayed there,looking at them. It was clear that they loved one another.
It was impossible that Jack had harmed him.
"Let's go to Tortuga tonight." Will asked Jack,crying. "I cannot stay
here anymore."
"Anything you want,luv." Jack kissed Will's mouth,not caring if Norrington
was watching them.
"I'm afraid to say there's no ship leaving port this night. I'm sorry."
Norrington finally spoke. "All of them have already left." Norrington
sighed. "Look,I can help you. You can sleep at onethe the inns and I'll
put a guard at the door."
Jack looked at Norrington as if he was seeing him for the first time.
Then he said: "Thank ye. But I must ask,why are ye helping us?"
"Because I must." The Commodore answered simply. "Grab your effects and
come."
Jack helped Will with his effects and put a blanket on his shoulders.
He held Will all the while they were going to the inn,and looked anywhere,
as if afraid the man would show up again.
When they reached the inn,Will said:
"Commodore."
"Yes,William."
"Thank you. May I ask for a favor?"
"If I can do it..."
"Could you please sign for me and Jack at a ship that's leaving tomorrow
morning? I cannot stay here until nightfall."
"Certainly,Mr. Turner. I'll let you know later." He said with concern
showing in his eyes.
"Thanks,Commodore Norrington." Will said.
Norrington nodded and went with them inside the inn just to ask for a free
room for one night. As all the town already knew what had happened to
Will,the innkeeper did as asked immediately.
Will and Jack entered their room and locked the door. As soon as they
found themselves alone,Jack held Will tightly and whispered comforting
words to his ears. He said he would take care of him. Will kissed Jack
desperately,needing to feel him there,holding him,protecting him.
Later,the Commodore had come back to inform them their ship would leave
at ten. He also warned them their men hadn't caught the rapist. Will
screamed at him in frustration,but Norrington let him do it. He knew the
boy was unwell.
"Take care of him," Norrington asked Jack stiffly,while he left to the
door.
"I hope you don't even /cogitate/ again that I'd harm my lover." Jack
replied,glaring at Norrington.
The Commodore nodded,smirking: "I couldn't know. And you'd better watch
your mouth,Sparrow,and don't forget you are free just becausizabizabeth
asked me to'Go 'Go fuck that bitch then.' Jack thought irritatedly. She had hurt his Will
and Jack disliked her now.
"I bid you good luck,Commodore." Jack smirked. "With Miss Swann,I mean.
I know you wanted her even when Will was with her."
Norrington blushed. "It's not of your concern,Sparrow! Good night!" He
strode angrily to the corridor.
Jack closed the door,still smirking. But Will's voice made him be serious
again.
"Jack...stay here with me." He asked.
"Sure,luv,I'm going." Jack ran to the bed and held Will tightly.
They stayed there,awake,for a while. None of them could sleep. Jack
caressed Will's face and chest and Will let Jack kiss him softly. When
Jack tried a more heated kiss,Will flinched away. Understading why Will
was afraid,Jack just held Will to his chest and caressed his hair.
"I saw his face." Will spoke. "Norrington said he was a pirate,Jack."
"What is he like?" Jack asked,astonished. "I know almost all the pirates
in the Caribbean!"
"No,Jack. You have to promise me you won't go after him. He can hurt you."
"I can't promise you that." Jack sighed. "He harmed you twice and he's
gonna pay for what he's done."
Will sighed. "Look,let's not think about it now. I don't want to talk
about him."
"Okay." Jack kissed Will's cheek softly. "Let's go to sleep then."
"I just can't imagine what he wants with me." Will said again.
"What do you mean?"
"Jack,he raped me twice and didn't steal anything at my house. He isn't
a common thief who happens to rape the ones he robs. He wanted /me/. And
I'm afraid because I can't see why. I mean,I never had problems with
any pirates. Except for Barbossa's crew,but he wasn't one of them,I've
seen him."
"Tell me what is he like,Will. Maybe I can help you."
"He has longish brown hair...brown eyes...he would be a common type if
he hadn't got those freckles and that ugly scar. It is really ugly,it's
just below his mouth."
Jack fell into an astonished silence. 'Can't be...'
"Do you know him?" Will looked at Jack,oblivious of what was going through
his lover's mind.
"Not that I remember,luv." He tried to sound sincere,because he knew Will
would be even more afraid if he knew the truth.
