This is completely AU! But I've always wondered if they chose the last name Jones for Killian on purpose, because of the Davy Jones. And then it always gets me to thinking how Davy is like a nickname for David...but then I think that couldn't work cause we already have a David. BUT!, in AU anything is possible. This will be Captain Swan even thought the first chapter does not include it. ENJOY!
"What's your name sailor?"
"I'm not a sailor."
"Then what's your name, non-sailor," he said with a bit of sass.
"David."
"David what?"
"You don't need to know that,"
"No I don't, especially since you do not know it yourself,"
David looked surprised.
"I could tell by your eyes. You saved my life, if you wish you can take my name. It's Jones, and I offer it to you."
"I don't need your name,"
"Alright, I have nothing to offer you but thanks then. I cannot pay you, for I am already in debt. I have no way to repay you. For that I apologize."
"There is something you could do. Let me join your crew."
"What? Do you know who I am?"
"You're Captain Killian Jones, a courageous and highly feared pirate. I need to get a new life. My last one ended badly. I stole from a king, and then killed him when he was hunting me down. I was exiled from many lands and now I find my life here meaningless. I have no problem with bending the rules, I take orders well, but will still offer my own suggestions, and I have some sea experience. Let me join."
"This was your plan all along, wasn't it?" Killian chuckled. "Well, you're a very able man, I've seen that first hand. How old are you mate?"
"'bout thirty, you?"
"'bout thirty as well."
"Isn't that a bit young for a captain?"
"I've been Captain of The Jolly Roger for over ten years." He rose from the chair he was sitting in at the tavern he reached for his black shirt and red vest that hung on the back of the chair. He carefully pulled the shirt on, covering his bandaged chest. "You're in. You could easily become my first mate, if you wanted. In just this short time of knowing you, I like you better than most of my men. But don't tell them that."
"We don't know each other that well yet," he responded warily.
Killian slipped on the vest but didn't bother to button it he nodded once at David. "So, off to The Jolly, aye?"
"Aye Captain,"
They left the tavern and started walking towards the docks. "So, David, no offense, but your name does not lend itself very well to piracy."
"I admit you are right,"
"How about Davy instead?"
David thought for a moment before he answered. He turned towards his new friend and captain. He ran his fingers through his already disheveled blond hair. "Davy it is. Davy Jones."
Hope you loved it almost as much as I did. This story has been really fun to write so far. I'll probably have the next chapter up soon (but if you've read any of my other stories, you know how unreliable I am) Please Review, let me know what you thought of it. David and Hook's interactions on Neverland have really sparked my inspiration even more for this story. Do you think they could've ever been friends if things had been different?
