PotC Fic- Talk like a Pirate
Sep. 19th, 2006 09:06 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
tarotgalIn honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day today, I thought I'd post this I've been playing with for the last day or two for Tina. Unfortunately, It's light and fluffy without any editing... and the dialogue isn't quite right in my head, which is the whole point of the fic... but I think it's clean enough for the holiday. I might go back and revise slightly before putting it on my site.
And, hopefully, I'm not the only one amused by it.

Talk Like a Pirate
Jack’s nose twitched. His jaw dropped and one of his gold teeth caught the lantern light. The twitching traveled around his face, brow furrowing, lip curling with his moustache along with it, one eyebrow raising then falling, eyelids threatening to close but staying half open. Tempting fate, he did not lift his handkerchief until the last possible moment. “ehhh-Inghhkshhhh!” He cleared his throat with some difficulty and wiped his nose dry. “This is all your fault, you know.”
There was no answer. Jack glanced over.
Will sat only inches to Jack’s right. Sitting amounted to hunching forward. His head was down, chin touching his chest. Eyes were closed. Mouth was closed. He looked angelic, peaceful.
So Jack jabbed his elbow into Will’s side.
With a start, Will sat straight up. He scrubbed his hand against his face. “Pardon. Nodded off. Were you saying something?”
Jack nodded. “This is all your fault.”
Will looked at him in disbelief, then raised his own hand and handkerchief in it. His eyes shut again, and he yawned. But the yawn stopped short and a slight frown appeared on his face. Then his shoulders hunched forward and head bowed. “hee-EHTChuhhh!” He sniffled and rubbed his nose into the handkerchief instead of the other way around. “This time, the fault is all yours, Jack.”
They both sat on the edge of Jack’s bed in the captain’s cabin. They both had blankets draped over their shoulders and wrapped around to their fronts. They both had a slightly-damp handkerchief. They both had a head cold.
Will elbowed Jack. “It’s your fault because you gave me this cold.”
“I gave you?” Jack exhaled, almost exasperated. “Don’t think so, Matey. If I remember correctly, you sneezed on me.” He elbowed back.
Quickly, Will’s elbow found Jack’s side again. “You sneezed first.”
Through the blankets, the elbows weren’t painfully hard, but they made their point. And Jack’s made his again. “Did not. I clearly remember seeing you sneeze this morning on deck.”
Another jab accompanied, “I saw you earlier, below decks, when you thought no one was watching.”
Jack’s jaw dropped. “ihhhh-Hitchhhh!”
“Aye,” Will said, with a smirk and yet another playful jab. “Just like that.”
Jack sniffled. “Still your fault.”
“It isn’t. It is your fault.”
“Yours, Matey.”
“You are only saying so because you… are out of… arguments…” Though he tried valiantly to fight it, another sneeze came over him. “heeh-Chahhh!” It was so strong that he pitched forward and the blanket fell from his shoulders. He shivered violently as he sniffled and then blew his nose into the handkerchief. When Jack cleared his throat, Will looked over suspiciously.
“If you are as cold as I am, we should do something about that, savvy?”
Will dropped his hand into his lap. “What do you suggest?”
Jack held his arm out, the blanket streaming behind him like a cape. Will hesitated a moment, then saw the benefits of combining body heat because he certainly wasn’t feeling any better going it alone. He scooted over and took Jack’s blanket, wrapping it around his side. Then he draped his blanket over their fronts.
Immediately, they both felt warmer. Will closed his eyes again, blissful apart from the heavy cold in his head. And apart from being bumped and shaken when Jack sneezed.
“ihhh-kshhh! ihhhHihkshhh! ehhhhTChshhh!” He rubbed the handkerchief at his streaming nose until it was safe to stop. Then he poked Will in the arm. “All right, lad. Maybe you didn’t give this to me, but it’s your fault I’m down here.”
Will chuckled and poked Jack back. “I’m not the one who sent you down here and banned you from the deck.”
Jack sniffed and gave him another poke. “Aye, but you’re the one who sneezed loudly and drew Anamaria’s attention to the fact that we were both sick,” Jack pointed out.
They both sat there for a few seconds, thinking the same thoughts, sides touching, sharing the blanket and sharing the same cold. “It’s all Anamaria’s fault,” Jack said at last.
Will nodded in complete agreement. Then he ducked his head into his handkerchief. “hahhh-ehhhhKutchhh! Kitchihhh!” He blew his nose and rubbed at it thoroughly. “It is her fault. And it’s not very fair, her sending us down here to be miserable together.”
Jack nodded back. “We should teach her a lesson, savvy?”
“heee… IHShuhhh! Ehchuhhh! Snff! What did you have in mind?”
Cracking a smile, “Well I wouldn’t suggest you sneeze on her, for one. Because that wasn’t so pleasant this morning.” He coughed into his handkerchief, which didn’t muffle the sound significantly. “But we should think of something to do to her. For making us miserable.” He shivered and rubbed a little closer into Will’s side for warmth.
“Right.” Will smiled back. “Miserable.” He yawned, and found Jack wasn’t just sitting next to him now but leaning against him. Eyes were closing, bodies relaxing but propping each other up and keeping the blanket pulled warm around them both. Will moved his arm just slightly, in a half-jab. “You figure it out. I want to sleep now.”
“You figure it out,” Jack murmured, not even bothering to move his arm.
“You’re the…” He paused to yawn again, violently. “You’re the captain.”
Jack smacked his lips and bowed his head, trying to drift off. “So I’m ordering you to do it.”
“It’s your task.”
“Yours, Matey.”
There was no answer and Jack didn’t bother to open his eyes to glance over this time.

Date: 2006-09-20 02:03 am (UTC)I'm glad I visited and noticed before the day was over! Cute little user icons :-) If you go to the main LJ page http://www.livejournal.com/ the logo's been turned into a ship and even Frank is dressed up for the day. I'm very amused *G*

Date: 2006-09-20 02:59 am (UTC)The boys are so yummy, all sneezy and sniffly and cuddly. I actually wanted to tuck them in and then climb in between them. I love the elbowing and the banter back and forth. I also loved them snuggling together under the blanket. And there's something so attractive about them being cuddled up together leaning against each other and sneezing. Also falling asleep together was just a perfect ending.
Thank you so much! Even though I didn't need a thank you for beta-ing I'm sooooo glad you did!

You, me and Lady K, apparently! heehee There's just something about snuggling sniffly boys, you know? *G* I'm very glad you found them to be so yummy!
I love the elbowing and the banter back and forth.
heehee Yay
And there's something so attractive about them being cuddled up together leaning against each other and sneezing. Also falling asleep together was just a perfect ending.
Well, if it hadn't been for Jack, Will would have been asleep during the entire story! LOL
I notice that the majority of my stories (and SFs in general...) end with the characters falling asleep. That kind of makes me worried when I end another like that... but in this case, it totally made sense. Poor sick little pirates trying to plot but feeling too tired after bickering and sneezing :-)
I'm very pleased you enjoyed it! You're welcome. And I know you didn't need a thank you- that's so wonderful to hear. But that's also why I definitely wanted to be sure to thank you. *hugs*

Date: 2006-09-20 03:40 am (UTC)Every year (for the last several) I've tried talking like a pirate on Talk Like a Pirate Day. I don't make it more than a half an hour, usually. LOL
Brillant as always, Tarotgal! I didn't find the dialogue too rough either.
Awww, thank you! That's very reassuring :-) Glad you liked it!
