Right. I'd been planning to do this for a while now, as a small slashy gift-ish thing for
wicked_warrior, but I am not sure yet if she'll feel the urge to whack me over the head repeatedly with a tuna fish. I certainly hope not. (xD)Hope you like it! Thanks so much,
tootsiemuppet, for the beta. :)
Mystery (Jack/Stephen, G)
Stephen is not a restless man by nature. He is, in fact, one of the most collected people he knows. He is not taken back by words or gestures, and he tries and succeeds to examine life as critically as possible. His world is vast and wide, crowded with all sorts of interesting creatures, and a new discovery is waiting to be unfolded before his eyes every step of the way. What he hasn’t figured out yet is, after all he’s seen and all he’s done, after nature’s secrets have surrendered at his feet, is Jack.
Jack and his unthinkingly endearing smile while he steps on deck and walks towards him, the way his hair shines under golden sunlight and his arse - oh god, he is fat - sways one way then the other under his scrutiny, looking more than happy and not quite cheerful, but undoubtedly lucky. He hates surprises and the secrecy, and sometimes that thought alone makes him want to throw Jack off the boat and check if they go much faster.
But then again, what’s life without a little mystery?
