Wha... how is this possible? A straight ship? From me? Impossible! But then again, even though my name directly ties in to Disney Descendant, this is my first fanfic for them. Okay, I got a lot of favorite shows and movies, alright? I finally pulled myself away from the LEGO obsession... for now.

Sorry people, read DD 2 already, but I swear no spoilers unless you haven't seen the commercial (then again who hasn't?) Harry x Uma. I ship 'em.

~Why Follow Me?~

It was another perfect day, according to me. Trashing the marketplace for stuff in my mom's eatery (restaurant was to goodie-goodie) and causing malice that would make Mal jealous.

All with my right-hand man, Harry Hook.

Of course, there were sometimes Harriet (older by a year) would tag along, since CJ (younger by two years) was in... Auradon, but it was usually just the two of us. Gil, under every circumstance, was not aloud in our partners-in-crime spree. Never.

But today something fishy was going on in me as I looked at Harry. I know what you're thinking, it's not that super-good cleché big L.

It always made me wonder why he gave up his dignity for me.

Let me explain. On the Isle, boys are treated with more respect. They don't have as much aftermath from getting ganged, and are mostly tougher than girls (note mostly. Even Gil can't match my strength.) Plus, Captain H has a bit higher respect than my mom, but don't let her hear me say that. All in all, everyone teases him for following a girl when really, it should be the other way around.

That bugged me a lot.

I forced a smirk as Harry moved away from his sister (but with a threatening growl to make sure they stayed away from her) and walked over to me, with that insane smile he always wore. "What's up, Tentacles?" He asked.

"Just getting ready to close up," I replied, motioning around me. I suddenly raised my voice. "EVERYONE, OUT! YOU TOO GIL!" Harry gave a small pout. I rolled my eyes at his attempt at humor. "Okay, you can stay."

"Oh my croc, is Uma, going soft on me?" He whispered playfully. He knew how much this annoyed me, and he usually only did it when we were mostly alone.

"We need to talk," I interrupted sternly. I grabbed his wrist and stormed out of there, to the most deserted place I could think of.

The Lagoon.

Yes, there is water that people can swim in on the Isle, but only sea dwellers and those immune to leeches can. Aka me and the select few pirates that can swim. Luckily, Harry is one of them.

He raised an eyebrow at our destination. "Do you want to drown me? Or tell me about your secret desire to see the ocean again?"

Don't. Tell. Anyone. I shook my head, and dove in the water.

The murky water immediately cleared, and I felt... home. I saw Harry backstroking above me, and I swam up. He stared treading water.

"Listen, I wanted to ask... why you've stripped everything, to follow me." I hated being honest, but Harry was my partner-dare I say-friend. I trusted him with my life.

He seemed a little confused, then dawned realization and avoided my gaze. "Well, a sea witch and a pirate, guess that just makes sense it your mind, huh?" He chuckled nervously, and I realized this was getting personal.

"Please, Harry. I just want to understand why you choose to be my right-hand man. I was just a kid with an evil nightmare. You could have been with Mal, for badness' sake! And keep them from becoming good." Oh shoot, I'm begging. I even used please.

But it always works on him. "Well... I didn't see a kid at first. I saw a strong woman with the potential to rule as the evilest of them all. You could say I..." I didn't process how close he was until he cupped my face, awkwardly treading water with his other hand with staring in my eyes. I watched his icy blue orbs that sometimes flickered blood-red. "...fell in love."

And suddenly we were on the shore and kissing. Okay, what? Ahh. Um... am I... kissing back? Yep. Dear eels I feel helpless.

He pulled away, eyes scarlet (literally) and smirking. "Your as helpless as a Wendy-bird," he cackled at the reference, "I love it."

Harry dove in again but this time I pushed away. He stared at me blankly for a moment before realizing what he did. He closed his eyes and bowed his head, waiting for a hit.

Which I happily gave. He went cross-eyed at the bloody nose I gave him. "Well, you have your answer," he said softly. "Bye, Tentacles, you'll never have to see me again if that's what you want."

Did I really want him to leave? "Harry..." I tried, cursing myself at how weak I sounded. "Harry!"

He avoided my gaze as he got up and walked away.

"HARRISON JAMES HOOK GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE!" Ah, don't you love screaming at people? Because they immediately reply. Harry flinched as I used his full name and spun back around to face me. "That's better. Harry, okay, just stop," he looked confused. "Just stop thinking I'll hate you for anything. You don't just follow me, you made yourself my slave and prepare for a beating when you so much as speak out of line. Stop. We're partners in this, okay? And... about the other thing." Since he was close enough, I decided screw it all and grabbed his chin to forcefully kiss him.

He had a lovesick look dumbly plastered on his face. But then his eyes went red as he quickly took charge.

This, I didn't mind. For I finally found out why he follows me.

Turns out it was the big L after all.

Yep, villain love at its finest. Next chapter will be longer.

*Harry tried to sneak out*

HARRISON JAMES HOOK GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE!

Possibly my favorite line. Possibly.
