I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.
Captain Hook scowled as Smee stood by his bed. ''Why are you in my bedroom?'' he asked. He saw Smee's smile. Worry filled his eyes. *Perhaps I won't like Smee's answer.* Captain Hook still scowled.
''I'm here to make sure you are comfortable,'' Smee said. He viewed Captain Hook's eyes widening. He continued to smile. Smee pulled the blanket up to Captain Hook's face. ''Are you comfortable?'' His eyes settled on Captain Hook's scowl.
''It's time for a story, Captain Hook,'' Smee said.
Captain Hook began to roll his eyes. ''Are you going to pause between words again? Perhaps the story will last all evening again.'' He saw a sudden thoughtful look on Smee's face.
''There were two brothers in England…''
Captain Hook's eyes became wide for another reason. He sat up. His scowl came back. He began to tremble. ''The brothers are named Jasper and James?'' Captain Hook watched as Smee nodded.
''The Hook brothers…''
''You will not mention Jasper another time. Are you forgetting about him trying to end my life earlier?''
Smee paused. He was sheepish. ''You just mentioned your older brother.'' Smee viewed Captain Hook rolling his eyes another time. ''A certain someone wanted his treasure returned. He also wasn't happy after you removed his eye years ago.''
''I never received my share of gold,'' Captain Hook said.
''The Hook brothers ate with their mother,'' Smee said. He glanced at tears in Captain Hook's eyes. Confused, Smee tilted his head to one side. He viewed Captain Hook's lower lip trembling. His sheepish expression returned. ''Oh. You still cherish your mother,'' Smee said.
''Zero tales tonight!'' Captain Hook said. He began to scowl another time. His eyes widened again the minute Smee buttoned the top of his long johns. Captain Hook blushed.
''I'll go now.'' Smee turned and walked out of the bedroom. He looked back. He departed.
Captain Hook fell back. After pulling the blanket up to his chin, he closed his eyes. Captain Hook began to smile without Smee. A few minutes later, he thought he heard footsteps in the bedroom. He opened his eyes. He sat up again.
''Smee?'' Not one other person was in the bedroom. Captain Hook began to rest again. After a few moments, he opened his eyes another time.
Captain Hook thought he saw a dark form by his bed. Frowning, he sat up and fell back again. He struggled after fingers wrapped around his upper arm. Exhausted, he ceased struggling. Captain Hook was released. That was when he closed his eyes again.
