Pairing: Jack Sparrow/Will Turner
Summary: This fic popped into my head while listening to the lyrics to a song called Bittersweet by Within Temptation. The lyrics are included into this fic as a note, you’ll see. I hope you like it. ** those little things mean time passage. Also I cannot type Jack’s accent. I have one of my own and to think one way and type another is hard. A lot of time I type how I talk so forgive me.
Disclaimer: I don’t own the characters or anyone just plot.

Will stared out over the sea as the sun sank below the horizon. He sighed, his soul and heart were shattered and there was no way to mend them. He felt so alone as the wind blew his hair back off of his face. He had chosen to stay with Elizabeth so her heart wouldn’t be broken, but in doing so he had killed his own heart.
And now…..now he didn’t even have Elizabeth, she had left when she realized Will no longer loved her. Now he didn’t have Jack and he didn’t have Elizabeth. He had no one.
He sank down on the sand a bottle in his hand, in the other a letter he composed. He wondered how Jack was, was he happy? Was he having adventures? Did he even remember him? The loneliness was drowning him, drowning out any happy thoughts he would have had.
“I should have told you,” Will whispered hoarsely, “maybe we could be together if I had. But I was afraid of what you would say, what if you didn’t feel the same.”
He shook his head as if to try and get the tears out of his eyes, but it just caused one to fall. He gently rolled up the letter and put it into the bottle and corked the be. He. He stood and tossed it into the water. As he turned to walk off he whispered into the black inkiness of the night. “I love you.”
Will walked toward the pub that he frequented as of late, deciding to drown his broken heart and soul in whiskey. Maybe when Jack did come back, he would be able to tell him his feelings, just maybe…

Jack smiled, he was glad to have the Pearl back, but he did miss Will, the annoying brat that he was. As they neared Port Royal, he smiled a little sadly wondering how Will and Elizabeth were doing together. No matter how much he didn’t want to admit it they were probably married and happy with a child by now. It had been about a year and a half since he had left.
He turned to find Anamaria crouched down reading something, curious he went over, “and what’s that? A love letter?”
She glared at him, “It’s a note from a bottle I fished out of the sea about 2 months ago, I just now remembered it, you might find it interesting.” She said cryptically and handed it to him and walked off, shouting orders and insults.
Jack looked down at the letter, it didn’t seem to interesting, until he actually read the words written:
‘If I tell you
Will you listen?
Will you stay?
Will you be here forever?
Never go away?
Never thought things would change, hold me tight
Please don’t say again that you have to go

A bitter thought
I had it all
But I just let it go
Hold your silence
It’s so violent since you’re gone

All my thoughts are with you forever
‘Till the day we’ll be back together
I will be waiting for you

If I had told you
You would’ve listened
You would have stayed
You would be here forever
Never went away

It would never have been all the same
All our time would have been in vain
Cause you had to go

The sweetest thought
Had it all
Cause I did let you go
All out moments keep me warm
When you’re gone

All my thoughts are with you forever
‘Till the day we’ll be back together
I will be waiting for you’

Jack stared at the paper, it was sad but he didn’t see why Anamaria had thought he would be interested. Then his eyes caught the part written at the very bottom.
‘At least you could have taken me with you Jack. I know you’ll never know in this lifetime, but I love you. W. T.’
He stared at the paper in shock, but Will had loved Elizabeth, he had almost died for her. Could it be that Will really loved him? The sadness practically radiated off the letter, but still…
As soon as they docked he was off the Pearl, thoughts whirling in his head. He needed to find Will, the problem was, where would he look. He headed to the black smith’s, where he had met Will the first time. He banged on the door, a boy around 17 answered.
“I’m looking for William Turner, can you tell me where to find him?” Jack practically spat at the boy, especially seeing the boy’s glare at Will’s name.
“That low life hasn’t been around here for a good six months, you can probably find him drunk in an alley somewhere.” He said and slammed the door.
Jack growled and stalked off, if he had to, he’d search every house and pub, he would find Will. First he would go to the Pearl and get help. He stalked off.

Meanwhile, Will stood knee-deep in the sea, wearing just a pair of breeches, staring at the Black Pearl. It wasn’t fair, Jack was back, he wanted to run to the Pearl and tell Jack if he was leaving to take him with him. He couldn’t live without him, he was nothing without him.
He wouldn’t be able to take being left on land alone again. Bitterness in his heart, Will sank to his knees and began to cry silent tears. He didn’t know how long he sat there in the frigid water until two arms pd hid him back into a strong, warm chest. He began to struggle, why would someone touch him. Why wouldn’t they leave him alone.
“Shhhhhhh, now calm down before you knock my head off.” A warm voice made him freeze. The person pulled him to the shore. He turned and looked into the smiling face of Jack Sparrow, in shock Will reached up and gently touched the face. Then he broke down.
“Don’t leave me!” He whispered hoarsely into Jack’s chest, “I don’t want to be alone, I-I can’t live without you, don’t go.”
Jack simply held him, he was so different, so broken. Not at all like the Will knew, and he knew that because of that fact he would bring Will with him. He loved the younger man and didn’t like to see him this way. Very gently he tilted Will’s face up to his and kissed the lips, wet with salty tears. Breaking away he whispered, “If you would have told me, I wouldn’t have let you stay.”
He began leading Will toward the Pearl. Early the next morning the Black Pearl pulled out of port, William Turner on board. Together with his love till death.
