AN: A silly short in celebration of Captain Charming Friday. Thanks to captain-k-jones and zengoalie.
Although, I do intend to hold it over your heads for a very long time.
He had thought that the pirate was exaggerating, trying to lighten up the situation, but no. He did mean it quite literally.
Ever since Emma had ceased being The Dark One, Killian made his life goal to try everything the modern world had to offer. And he often dragged David into it. He wanted to try wonderful things, adventurous things, and sometime even crazy things.
Every time, every damn time, he wanted to make the prince do something stupid, he pulled that puppy look of his and the Well, you did kill me that one time mate. I think some compensation for my suffering is in order speech.
To his misfortune, David was prone to it. He just could not handle Killian's big blue puppy eyes and the memory of Emma's terrified face when he had stabbed the pirate with his sword.
That's why he went scuba diving in Maine's cold waters, jumped out of a plane with a parachute (how did they even get planes in Storybrooke?), rode a bull, played drunk darts, and and countless other activities..
That's why he now stood at the edge of a cliff over a river with protective helmet on his head, safety belts on his chest, and attached to a zip line. It wouldn't be so bad, if it was a simple slide. But no- Killian had to make this unbearable.
It all started with lady's netflix night. The men left the loft for a drink at the Rabbit's Hole. A few drinks turned into a fascinating conversation about extreme sports and Killian had decided he wanted to try zip lining. David, of course, had to agree to do it with him.
"You did kill me that one time mate."
It did not sound all that bad, until they had arrived back at the loft and the pirate spotted Outlander on the TV screen. He seemed fascinated by kilts, claimed they were an extremely courageous outfit, worthy of a man with guts. Somehow, he managed to convince a drunk David that they just had to wear them.
That left the prince standing on the edge of the cliff wearing the damned man skirt. Although ,he had to admit... the plaid looked good on him.
"Ready, mate?" the pirate asked him.
David sighed and slid first down the line. Closing his eyes, he prayed to all gods above, hoping that Killian had forgone his habit and had not gone commando under his kilt.
