This is my fist OUAT fic. I LOVE the idea of Hook and Red!
Some back story behind this one. My friend was bored at work I said I'd tell him a story to help get him though it and it ended up being a Captain wolf :)
Enjoy :)
Once upon a tale of seven seas. There was a Pirate. He was tall with and well built. His blue eyes refaced the sea and there is stubble along his strong chin. His black hair moved in the wind as the ship floated along the sea. He stood behind the wheel of the ship one hand on the wheel and his hook rested at his side. His eyes were locked on the horizon. They had been at sea for a long time now and were making their to port.
"Captain, how long will we be in port?" Asked Sam he was the captain's 1st mate. The man was short and around but was loyal to his captain.
"Just for the night my good man." The captain told the shorter man.
"So you spend is wisely Mr. Sam" the captain said with a wink. Their time is spent in port was mostly spent in pubs where they could get rum and wenches to settle their needs. It was getting dark when they palled into port. There were small lanterns that light the path to the town. The captain and his crew made their way though the town. It wasn't very big there was a square in the middle with a statue of a mermaid in the middle. The captain eyed it as they made their way to the pub. He wondered if the people who made it really knew anything about mermaids. He had his run INS with them before and it wasn't something he wanted to relive. The pub the found was small. There were tables and chairs pushed in the space. As the crew entered they were greeted with watchful eyes after all they were pirates. "Now lads" the captain said "we came to drink and be merry. So drinks for everyone" it was greeted by cheers and shouts from the room. They entered and stated to drink. The captain sat at the head of the rabble as his crew told stories to girls that be flocked to their table to listen. He laughed and drank. They been in the pub a while now and although he could talk any of the girls into bed. None took his fancy; until he saw her.
She had walked in and looked right past them. But he was taken by her. The way her long brown hair fell around her shoulders. Her green dress hugged her in all the right ways and her eyes. He wasn't sure but there was just something about them. She walked thought the room sat at a table by the back wall. Another girl brought her a drink the shared a smile. The captain watched her from his seat, waiting for the right moment to make his move. Her drink was almost gone and he saw his chance. He grabbed 2 more from the girl who had been standing over him "Is that for me?" she asked as he eyed him. The captain didn't take his eyes off the girl.
"Sorry love, not this time" and moved past the girl (who was coming on to him a bit too much). He got closer to her table and as she turned to put her mug on the tray of the girl collecting them up. He sat down in the chair across from her and put down the mug in front of her. She turned around and eyed him.
"Killian Jones" he taking her hand and placing a small kiss on it. "You are?"
"Busy"
Her voice was soft with a hit of a growl. Her eyes were even better up close they were a deep brown much like her hair.
"Now that isn't a name that goes with a beauty like yourself" she eyed him but Killian could see the hit of a smile on her wonderful lips.
"Red" she told him taking a sip of her drink.
"Now that's a much better name love" he said doing the same. "What is a wonderful girl doing in here all on her own?" She took another sip before she spoke again.
"Drinking and avoiding pirates" She told him looking at him. He liked even more now. She was strong and wasn't going to be easily taken in by him. 'Good' he thought 'I do love a challenge'
"Well love, how do you know I'm pirate?" He asked
"The sword gives it away"
"So you been looking at my sword? I could show you up close if you like" he said with a smirk.
"Dose that line usually work?" She asked matching his smirk.
"Your every good, love" he told her and she did smile his time. Her smile was like the sun hitting the sea for the 1st time after a storm.
That's how it went for what seemed like hours. He would give her his best lines and she would match him every time. Killian found her even her compelling the longer she would block him.
"How about I take you to see my ship?" He asked her. Really he just wanted to get out of the pub and walk with her. There was something that told him that she would be much better in the moon light.
"I'm not going anywhere with you pirate" he said pointing at him.
"She's a wonderful ship love" really he couldn't understand why she didn't want to see his ship; usually they would beg to see the ship.
"I'm sure she is but-" she was cut off by the sound of the clock. "Shit! Granny going kill me" she said and got up from the table and rushed out of the door. With out a thought he went after her. She moved quicker than he thought she would. He ran to keep up with her. He grabbed her arm and span her around; his cold hook pressing into her back. She looked deep into his eyes for the 1st time. They really were something. To say that she didn't want to go with she would be lying. But he was a pirate and she couldn't trust him.
"Come on love. Just a quick look" she was lost in his voice "… what could possibly go wrong?" he asked. Her answer was still no, but Red couldn't help it if her lips spread into a grin or if she turned back once more to look at him. She had enough things to worry about, without getting mixed up with Killian Jones
"Maybe another time, pirate." She turned and walked the path down to the house that she and granny had. The smile still hung on her lips.
Killian watched her as she was lost to the night. He wondered if he they should stay in port and he could try to woo her once more. However he knew that he needed to move on that's just who he was. Like the sea never staying still. But the next time she wasn't getting away so easy. He smiled to himself and made his way back to the ship remembering every part of her. 'Yeah there would next time.'
