--------------------
Jack Sparrow stood on the balcony, overlooking a pleasant garden and the morning bustle of Port Royal below. In the distance he could see and feel the pull of the ocean, as always. James Norrington, propped on one elbow, watched the sunlight dance over the trinkets in Jack's hair. Norrington smiled as Jack twisted around and padded back into his bedroom. Jack flopped down on the bed, tugging James' pillow and replacing it beneath his own head with a grin.
"I was startin' to think you would sleep all day, mate."
"The sun's just risen, Jack, you saw that as you stood on the balc- Jack Sparrow!"
"That's me name, love." Jack said with a charming smile.
"You were standing in plain view, in broad daylight!" James was aghast; relief that his lover hadn't been seen was warring with anger at Jack's insolence. The anger won. James flung himself out of bed and rounded on Jack, towering over him as he lay back on the bed and his anger building at Jack's wide-eyed look of mock innocence. James dug his nails into lean shoulders, his brow pressed against Jack's.
"How could you risk not only-"
The rest of his rebuke was silenced by a gentle kiss, Jack's hand soothingly tracing the line of his jaw. James felt his anger begin to seep away, but he wouldn't give it up that easily.
"You risked both of our lives by simply-"
"Don't worry, mate," Jack gave James a chaste kiss, "sometimes people don't see what's right in front of them."
