Sharp, vivid, violet eyes met blue and red with a smirk. "So you're the sacrifices, da? I am Captain Ivan Braginski." he spoke with a creepy childish bliss. Gilbert choked on air and Ludwig's eyes widened in realization. "SACRIFICES? WTF, MAN?" Gilbert screamed frantically. Ludwig elbowed his brother giving him a stern 'don't-make-them-angry' look.
"Oh, no one told you?" The captain asked sweetly. "No." Ludwig answered curtly. The Russian man's childish smile darkened, becoming more sinister in nature. "Every hundred years or so, pirates must choose a sacrifice that is both intelligent, unique, and a beauty to throw to the Bermuda Triangle to ensure another hundred years of protection from it's mysterious evils!" He explained simply, clearing his throat before continuing. "Well, we have been unable to find one sole person with all of these characteristics. As you can understand, beauty and brains in one person is rare in this world." He finished, wrapping an arm around the waist of the man in his lap. The smaller man blushed.
"So? That still doesn't explain why we're here." Ludwig pressed further, not quite understanding. Ivan's smile intensified once again with a sort of innocent evil that neither brother could describe. "When I saw the two of you I just decided to take the both of you since it's obvious you fit the description. The bigger one gives off an air of intelligence, so that fits one. And honestly, what's more unique than an albino? And lastly, your both quite attractive so this should work, da?" He smiled.
Ludwig and Gilbert paled in unison. Was he serious? The two men glared at the Captain disdainfully, clenching their teeth in utter contempt. "Why you little piece of- UGH LET US GO!" Gilbert growled, attempting to stand but was pushed down again by the guards.
Ivan smirked at Gilbert. "Your quite vocal, aren't you." He said. It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Ludwig spoke before his brother could scream. "So how exactly does this work? How are we 'sacrificed'?" Ludwig asked, trying to keep calm, but anger was apparent in the German's voice and his brow was twitching with annoyance.
"You shall be taken to the Bermuda Triangle tonight on the full moon and thrown over board to satisfy the curse." Ivan stated simply. Ludwig snapped and Gilbert froze, completely shell shocked. "YOU FILTHY BASTARD!" Ludwig roared, finally loosing his composure. Gilbert shook himself out of his daze and joined in the screaming. "YEAH, WE DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THIS LEGEND! EFFING LET US GO!" the two continued shouting demands for freedom until Gilbert stopped and stared at the Chinese man.
"Hey, what about him?" he asked pointing to the smaller man. "He looks smart, and he's friggin GORGEOUS! Dunk HIM for your little prophecy legend thingy!" Gilbert hissed. "AIYAH!" The small man screamed, clinging to Ivan's chest. Ivan's face immediately darkened and his smile disappeared, soon being replaced with a dark, angry glare. "You mean Yao? You would actually have me sacrifice my lover?" a dark aura surrounded them.
"FUCK YEAH! Better one than TWO! That is SO not awesome!" Gilbert screeched. Wang Yao felt a twinge of guilt hit him as Ivan wrapped his arms around Yao's waist protectively. "No. In fact I believe I would rather die myself." The Captain said. The childish smile returned to his face, only this time, the brothers found it more terrifying and more threatening than the glare. "I-Ivan…" Yao trailed off, blushing profusely, lying his head on Ivan's chest. "Th-they're right!" He finished, large tears escaping his eyes.
Stab! Gilbert frowned a bit. *Wow… that was a lot more awesome in my head…* Gilbert thought, almost feeling guilty. Ivan's eyes widened and he frowned worriedly. "Nyet! You are worth over one hundred souls, my dearest little Yao…" Ivan trailed off, kissing Yao gently, taking the latter's breath away. "And plus I'm selfish and I don't care about them." Ludwig cringed. The smile was back..
Yao blushed, embarrassed by his lovers behavior. He huffed and hid his face in the larger's chest.
Ivan smiled, taking Yao into his arms and holding him bridal style as he stood. "I'll be right back." He said sweetly before turning and leaving, walking through a large cellar door and walking down into the belly of the ship. The brothers kneeled awkwardly, staying completely silent, occasionally looking over at each other desperately.
The Russian Captain was back rather quickly and sat back into his chair. "I needed to put Yao to bed. Hehehe~" He giggled childishly. The brothers stared at the captain flatly. "Yes, fascinating" Gilbert said sarcastically. "Now seriously, let us g-" "You made my little Yao feel bad…" The Russian cut interrupted, trailing off. The ship came to a sudden halt, throwing the brothers forward slightly, they barely maintained balance. "So… throwing you to your deaths will be all the more… enjoyable." Ivan growled, stepping forward and grabbing Gilberts hair painfully and forcing him to look at him.
Gilbert winced and froze, fear taking over him. Ludwig wouldn't stand for someone treating his big brother that way and attempted to get up, only to be stopped and restrained by the guards. The brothers began screaming their protest as Ivan forced Gilbert to the ships plank. Ivan grabbed Gilbert by the neck, picking him up off the deck and holding him over the eerily calm ocean waters. "Send my regards to the devil when you see him… I haven't seen him in a while." Ivan smiled creepily taking out his pistol and raising it.
Ludwig watched in horror as the Russian lowered his pistol on his brothers head with a sickening thud. Gilbert was obviously knocked unconscious immediately as his body went limp. "GILBERT!" Ludwig cried, frantically struggling against the guards as his brother was dropped into the water and began to sink. The next thing he knew, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and his world turned black. "…. Bruder."
