AN: Ok I decided to give this another it seems familiar it's because this is the latest chapter in Moments and I thought that it would be a good place to restart. I deleted that chapter by the way before someone decides to use that as an excuse to delete this one. This time this is going to be a multi chapter story. Yes it's Pilligan. Yes it's slash. I'm tired of hiding. You don't like it don't read it. Why would you read something you know you don't like? So you can just leave a nasty message and then report it? Do you really have nothing better to do with your time? Go ahead, report this one. I'll just repost it again and again. As I said I'm sick and tired of hiding and living in fear on this site. You're not going to stop my creativity. Not anymore.

The first meeting as told by Roy Hinkley.

I didn't want this vacation. Mom and Dad didn't give me a choice. Really I was just fine the way I was. All I need is my research and my books.

Although I had to admit my time so far had been pleasant. Nobody knew me here and I was able to keep my homosexuality to myself. I enjoyed studying the local flora and began compiling them into a book. As I was walking by the marina I saw a sign for three hour tours of the island by charter boat.

Well why not? I went over to the boat. "Pardon me? When is the next tour?"

A heavy set man turned to me and smiled. "Heh well Sir, there's plenty of room. I'm the Captain of the Minnow."

We shook hands. "Professor Roy Hinkley. How much?"

"Well...for a teacher how about ten." He chuckled. "You're actually the first one. I'm expecting a few others."

I nodded as I handed him the bill. "THank you. I have a bag here…"

"Oh that's no problem." He turned to his boat. "Gilligan!"

I looked up to see a young man wearing a red shirt and white sailor hat on top of brunette hair and the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen.

"Yes sir!" he said as he hopped off the boat and approached us. He smiled a sweet, dimpled smile that I couldn't help returning.

"This is Professor Hinkley. Help him with his bag," the captain said.

Gilligan saluted him with a grin before picking up my bag. "What's in here rocks?!"

I chuckled! "Just a few books."

He just grinned at me as he carried it on board. I followed him noticing the way he was walking.

It was smooth until he stepped on a wet spot and fell on his back. I winced in sympathy as I went over and held out a hand to help him up. "Are you alright Mr Gilligan?"

He only smiled. "Yeah I fall down a lot. You see I find all the wet spots so the passengers don't have to!"

I couldn't fight the smile if I wanted to as I helped him up. I met his eyes and suddenly felt something I had never felt before...not even when I kissed a friend as an experiment which lead to my realization that I was homosexual. I couldn't explain it but it felt like a spark of some kind.

I sat down and watched him as he ran around helping the other passengers on board. He was enthusiastic and energetic as we set sail. I found myself watching him instead of working on my book.

At one point he handed me a wrapped up sandwich and the instant our hands touched I felt that spark again. Who was this young man? Why did this happen each time we made contact?

I thanked him and when he turned around I felt my smile slip from my face. After this tour I'd never see him again most likely.

Besides...I doubt he's a homosexual. No one like him could ever fall for a man like me.

Gilligan's POV and the shipwreck.

After taking care of the passengers I stood beside Skipper. My mind kept going back to the teacher we had on deck and what kept happening every time we touched.

This didn't even happen with Skinny Mulligan and we dated in secret for weeks before our parents found out.

"You ok Little Buddy?"

I looked at my Captain. "Yeah. Skipper?"

He looked at me in concern. You see he's the only one that knows I like boys and he's actually ok with it. "What's wrong?"

I took a deep breath. "Nothing I just…do you believe in fate?"

He raised an eyebrow at me. "You know I do."

"Um...what about soulmates?"

He frowned. "Gilligan, Little Buddy…"

Before he could say anything the sky began to get dark. I looked up. "The weatherman said…!"

"I know! Batten down the hatches Gilligan!'

"Aye aye!" I said as I raced down to the passengers. "Everyone inside! There's a storm coming! Skipper's gonna turn us around but we might still get caught!"

The others went down except for Professor Hinkley. "Will you be alright?"

I nodded. "I'm trained for this!"

He nodded before going down. I ran around following the Skipper's orders as the rain began to pelt hard on us. The waters got rough and our tiny ship was tossed around! I could barely keep my footing!

"Gilligan toss the anchor!"

I grabbed it and managed to heft it overboard before grabbing the railing!

"Gilligan...go down with the passengers!"

I looked up at him wide eyed! "Skipper no! I'm not gonna leave you!"

"That's an order!"

Normally I obey him but this time...this time I wouldn't let him fight this alone! I ran back up beside him and grabbed the steering wheel with him! We met eyes and the man that I felt that spark with faded from my memory. "I'm sorry Skipper. This isn't mutiny!"

He swallowed and put a hand on my shoulder. "I do believe in soulmates!"

He pulled me into his arms and we knelt while holding the wheel! We braced ourselves as the Minnow was tossed around with us helpless to steer it!

Then the Skipper looked at me before he stood up in determination. "Stay down! We're going to survive this!"

He took the wheel looking like the hero he was to me. "How can I help?"

He glanced at me before looking forward. "Just stay right there Little Buddy!"

The waves crashed against the hull and over the bow. The Skipper steered looking determined.

Finally there was a heavy jolt and he fell before everything went dark.
