Crew of the Damned

Earen: 'hintfulness'? I like that word... *sighs and hands a plastic pink sword* Better? I don't think Will is enjoying his divine abilities. ;) (and that just reminded me of several songs... 'Blood Sucking Rock Stars' by CyberVamps and 'Vampire Sight' by Terebelam) This 'curse' started before the movie, but shhhh *holds finger to lips* I'll give you a lolly if you don't say anymore. Ana and Gibbs aren't too bright. ;) *promptly returns to state of waking sleep...*

Akurei: Heehee, who wouldn't want someone like Jack around for eternity? And someone needs to keep him in line. ;) Eh, I liked Anne Rice, but I just really got sick of her 'pity me' vampires (though Lestat is hilarious in his obnoxiousness). Those witches books weren't that bad, pretty good stories. :)

Mistress Goku: Thanks. :) *hands a lolly* Not just an inspiration block, more like one of those moments when I just feel like curling up and doing nothing and talking to no one.

"Goin' t' drive th' poor lad, mad," Gibbs muttered.

Anamaria smiled, "Th' boy's already mad. T' put up wit' Jack, like that."

Gibbs chuckled, finishing the light work he had been doing before settling on the deck and taking out his flask of rum. "Aye. An' we must be daft for trustin' th' two."

"That we are..." Anamaria thought. "We still agree that I get th' Pearl when the whelp kills Jack?"

Gibbs looked over to where Jack had just disappeared into his cabin, "We'll have t' see, Ana."

***************

Jack gave the figure on the bed a weary look, unsure if Will was going to attack him or not. The closer he got to the bed, the better he could see the tired glare. He smiled, "Y'alright, love?"

Will groaned and turned away from Jack. "Go 'way."

Kneeling next to the bed, Jack put a hand on Will's shoulder. "Oh come now. You're not angry at me, are you?"

Jack feigned a look of hurt at Will's glare, bending down to nuzzle the younger man's neck. "Will..."

Getting no response, Jack grinned. He swiftly moved Will to his back before taking a comfortable position on top of the younger man. "Now, are you goin' t' tell me why you're angry?"

"Will you get off?"

"I like it here."

"Bastard."

"I know. But I like it here. And," Jack leaned down to lick Will's neck; "I think you like me here too."

Will frowned and Jack caught his hands before he could push the older man away. "Jack, get off."

"Not 'til you tell me."

"You should already know."

"It's more fun t' hear it from you."

Will glared again, but didn't speak. Jack sighed and secured Will's wrists in one hand while using the other to bare Will's throat to him. Maintaining his balance as he leaned down again, Jack placed quick and soft kisses along the length of Will's neck and jaw.

"I know you're thirsty," Jack said softly. "And frustrated. And that this," he kissed the now-pale mark on Will's neck; "and these," he quickly placed kisses on each eyelid; "hurt."

Will struggled against Jack, managing to throw the captain's centre of balance off, but not long enough to press an advantage. Sighing, Will relaxed. "How long until Tortuga?"

"Hungry?"

"Jack..."

Jack chuckled, "There are other sources, whelp. Just need t' ask th' right questions."

Will raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Jack raised the hand not holding Will's wrists and reached for the dagger on his belt. He pressed the tip to the side of his neck and felt Will start with surprise.

"Jack! What are you doing?!"

Ignoring the younger man, Jack pressed the tip until he felt it break his skin. Cutting just deep enough to draw blood, Jack set the dagger aside and grinned at Will. Settling back into the position they were in before, Jack kissed Will, feeling his blood trickle down from the cut. When he pulled away, a few drops landed by Will's lips and Jack licked them away.

"Well?"

Will shook his head, "I can't! Not from you!"

Jack 'tsk'ed, "Of course, you can. An' I know you want to."

The younger man shivered and Jack knew he was trying not to give into the thirst he felt. Deciding to help ease Will's descision, Jack touch two fingers to his cut. He leaned down as he pressed them to Will's lips.

"You can't hurt me, love. Trust me."

Whimpering his last protest, Jack felt Will's resolve crumble before feeling the younger man's mouth on his neck. Releasing Will's wrists, Jack brought one hand to Will's hair while using the other to support himself. It wasn't long before Will switched their positions.

Jack closed his eyes, relaxing under Will's weight. After a few minutes longer, Jack pushed Will away. Looking up at the gasping Will, Jack pulled his lover to him and licked away any excess blood.

"Feel better?"

Will nodded, "Much."

"Good."

There was a few minutes of comfortable silence as Will came down from the high that came after drinking. Jack happily holding Will close to him and running a hand through the younger man's hair.

"Jack?"

"Yes, whelp?"

"Don't call me that," Will looked up. "I think you should explain just what happened to make you like this."

"I thought I did, love."

"You told me what you were."

"Oh."

Another short silence before Will shifted to face Jack completely. "Well?"

Jack was about to speak when there was a knock at the door. Gibbs called from the other side of the wood.

"Jack? Will? You might want to come see this."

Getting up, Jack moved to the door, Will following. As soon as the door was opened, Will gave a slight cry and covered his eyes. Jack slammed the door on a confused Gibbs and turned to check Will.

"Are you alright, love?"

Will smiled weakly, "I forgot about that."

Jack smiled, "Stay here."

Before Will could protest, Jack was out the door and the click of the lock was heard. Kicking the door, Will moved back to the bed, already thinking up ways to get back at Jack for locking him up.

***************

Jack grinned, wondering how long it will take Will to realize his thoughts could be read any time Jack felt like it.

"What is it, mate?"

"Merchant ship."

Jack seemed to perk up and quickly joined Anamaria at the wheel. He grabbed the spyglass from the woman's hands and scanned the horizon until he saw the ship. He frowned as something suddenly felt off.

"Jack?"

The captain shook his head to try to clear it. "We take it."

Anamaria nodded and made the appropriate adjustments.

Suddenly, Jack jumped, hearing something he had long forgotten float through his mind. ~Hello Jack.~

Gibbs and Anamaria exchanged worried glances.

"Ye alright, Cap'n?" Gibbs asked. "You're-"

"Actin' more daft usu usual," Anamaria finished, earning an elbow in the side from Gibbs.

"...William?..."

Okay, I'm tired now. Hm. This was crappy. Ah well.
