.:Title:. Well Jack…

.:Disclaimer:. If I owned it, I'd actually make it slash in the movies, so there would be no need for this fanfic. So… yes. I don't own it.

"Well Jack, you've managed to do it again" Will said, slumped against the wall of the damp jail cell. His tone was annoyed, but he was smirking.

"Do what? And, 'again?' Jack asked from the other side of the cell. He was nervously eyeing his hat, which the guards had not let him keep, and was hanging on the wall near the keys.

"Gotten us arrested. How many times has this been now? Last week for harassing an official, the week before for stealing fruit, and today for trying to seduce a bartender? What in were you thinking Jack?"

"I was thinking I'd get us some free beer. Very appreciative you turned out to be." He snickered at the memory. "It would have worked too, if you weren't so…" Jack trailed off, having no where to go with the insult.

"It was a man, Jack. Excuse me for being a bit taken aback. I didn't take you for a…."

"A fairy?" Jack asked with his usual twinge of sarcasm.

The colour of Will blushing was barely visible in the moonlight. "Jack, don't get like this. I meant-"

"I know what you meant Will" Jack said, his old flair coming back. "You take everything too seriously. Besides, that barkeep was far more interested in you." Jack winked, and shifted his weight against the wall. "Bloody cell, ought to at least put a pillow in here" he grumbled.

Will rolled his eyes, glad to be rid of the uncomfortable conversation. "How long do you figure they'll keep us in here?"

Jack picked up a stone from the ground and began tossing it up and down. "A few days, or until they get sick of us, whichever comes first I presume"

"I for one know which will come first."

"Oh come now, I'm not that bad, am I?" Jack pouted "I mean, you can put up with me, can't you?" Even in the dim light, Will could see the laughter in Jack's eyes.

"Do you like humiliating me Jack?" Will asked, choking on resentment.

"Yes, I do" Jack was laughing himself. "Is it really that obvious? I thought I hid it well?" Jack was giggling as a drunken man would, and with Jack no one ever knew.

Struggling to change the subject again, Will said the first thing that came to mind. "Remember the day we met?"

"Ah… that, you tried to kill me didn't you?"

"As I recall, you weren't too fond of me either Jack."

"I was trying to get out, and you wouldn't let me. That is a pretty good reason for killing, or at least fighting, eh mate? You didn't like pirates much did you? Enough to kill one on sight?"

"I've come to like them Jack, well, like them enough. I suppose I'd be considered one." Jack stood and stretched his arms, then walked over to Will. Just as it seemed he'd turn and pace the other way, he sat down, a mere two feet from Will.

"I assume you like some more then others?" Jack winked.

Will hated these little innuendos of Jack's and flinched. One day he knew he should ask Jack what he really meant, but for now he'd play along. Will forced a smile, and a response.

"Come now Jack, you know I don't play favorites." Seeing Jack's prodding face, he knew he needed to add more to his retort. "Although if I did, Barbossa would probably be it." Jack made a face, and Will laughed.

"Well, I'm going to sleep, night love" Jack said, laughing again and closing his eyes. In a matter of a few moments he was asleep. Will had always admired and envied this talent of Jack's to fall asleep anywhere. It took a good fifteen minutes for him to fall asleep after Jack did.

In the time before sleep found him, he looked at Jack. It was a habit of his, whenever Jack would fall asleep first he would try to find something new about him. Jack always was slipping a new bead on his hair or trinket on his belt, and it was Will's mission to find them. As was often the case, Will's last conscious thought was of Jack.

"We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack,
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack,
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and inflame and ignite,
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
We burn up the city we're really a fright,
Drink up me hearties, yo ho"

Will and Jack were singing the song for the third time in an effort to get out. So far the guards, unlike the other guards before them, tolerated the song. They played cards through the first two songs, and by the third they were pacing. By the time they started singing in verses, the guards gave up. Within the next few minutes they were on the streets again.

Jack swaggered ahead of Will, crooning over the return of his hat. "Jack" Will said, jogging a bit to catch up. "Where are we going?"

"Nearest pub of course. Gotta celebrate our release don't we?" He winked at a group people passing by, who quickened their step in reply.

"Who says this won't lead to another arrest?" Will asked.

"Nothing" Jack grinned and entered the pub with Will trailing behind him.

Will was a bit embarrassed to go into the pub Jack had chosen, the one they were arrested in the night before. It could have been worse, the same barkeep could have been there, but thankfully there was a new barkeeper on duty. If it were anyone else besides Jack, Will would have asked if this was the smartest idea, but Jack never seemed to care what was smart or not.

Jack on the other hand was enjoying Will's look of annoyed embarrassment. Jack, although Will never would have guessed it, knew this wasn't smart, along with most of what he did, but he did it. It was only late nights when he was filled with alcohol that Jack would admit to himself he did it because he found Will's embarrassment cute.

Jack ordered for both of them, and found a corner where they could drink.
