"What shall we die for," said a voice behind her, a voice she knew so well, a voice she longed to whisper her name once again. She missed him.
She spun around slowly, her blonde locks scattered because of the wind. She looked at him thoughtfully, wondering why he was speaking to her. Perhaps….he had forgiven her? But what she did was unforgivable and he was a good and honorable man. Why would he? "What would you die for?"
For a moment he saw a glimpse of the old Elizabeth—his Elizabeth. Her eyes betrayed her emotions: fear, anxiety and uncertainty. Will longed to wrap his arms around her, hold her tight and reassure her everything will turn out fine. But this wasn't the Elizabeth he first met anymore; she was a pirate now. She didn't need him anymore; she didn't want him anymore.
"For you," he whispered, his eyes gazing intently at hers as he took a step forward. "I would give my life for you, Elizabeth."
For you. Looking at him, she knew it to be true, she knew it ever since. That he loved her with all his heart. It only made her feel guiltier at what she did to their relationship. But she was hurt too. She loved him, but her pride kept her fro apologizing or anything. So she stayed silent, not knowing what to say or do.
"If this battle means my end, then so be it. Because at least I know I died for you and all pirates," he continued silently, looking out on the horizon.
That was it. She bit her lip to stop the tears from falling down, from making her seem weak. She didn't want him to die for her, she wanted happiness for him. It was her fault everything that was happening to them was. She picked up his medallion, she pretended to be a Turner, she kissed Jack. "I'm so sorry, Will. I never meant to hurt you, honestly."
"I know." Of course she didn't, he saw it in her eyes: she was sorry. But during the long journey, he'd realized that maybe he wasn't the one for her. And maybe, she didn't love him at all. Perhaps, she never did. But he loved her, and that, he was certain about. And that he would protect her even if she didn't want him to. "I'm still here for you, should you need me. I know you don't—"Will looked down, finding himself unable to look at her"—need me anymo—"
"Don't say that…" Her tone was sympathetic, almost pleading. Taking a few steps forward to close the distance between them, she felt a cloud of regret and guilt suffocate her. His eyes were so deeply brown and bright and beautiful, it almost hurt to look at them. "I need you, Will Turner. And I will always need you."
"You didn't seem like it," he retorted quite bitterly. "I lost you to piracy, Elizabeth."
She shook her head slowly and murmured, "You haven't lost me, Will. I'm still here. You're here too."
He looked up, admiring how beautiful she looked. What did she just say?
She put her arms around him, some tears finally falling. His embrace just felt so warm and comfortable it rushed her into tears. The feeling of his toned arms on her back made her just misses him more. He was her prince and will always be her protector. "I miss you," she sobbed against her shoulder.
"I missed you too." His head buried in her hair, his arms around her waist, Will couldn't help but smile. After all the pain and hurt he went through, it was worth it, she was worth it. He looked into her blue eyes, the same blue as the sea and said," I love you, Elizabeth Swann."
"I love you too, Will Turner. Forgive me for all I've done." She grinned as their lips met in a passionate kiss that seemed to last an eternity. There was still a battle to be had and at least they could fight together. All was well. For now.
This is a oneshot. It just popped in my brain so please tell me it's okay. Maybe it could be more than a oneshot……depends on the reviews.
