Yay another quick update! So really how do you guys like this story? Please tell me what you thing and Enjoy!^^


Lovino's POV

I have no idea how long I've been out but when I opened my eyes this time it's dark and the only light comes from a couple candles sitting on the small table and one sitting next to the bed. As I look around I notice that I'm alone and then I remember that I'm on a pirate ship.

A fucking pirate ship! Why the fucking hell didn't that captain guy toss my sorry ass overboard when he found my bloody carcass in that damned tomato box?! I kind of wanted to just get up and leave but whenever I tried to move my whole body flared up in white hot pain that knocked the breath from my lungs.

Looking down I noticed that my bandages needed to be changed and someone had switched the sheets. As I was staring at the new sheets the door opened and the captain who had said his name was Antonio and some man I had never seen before with long black hair pulled back in a ponytail walked in.

"Oh you're awake again." The captain stated as he walked over to me

"How long was I out?" I asked feeling my voice crack from not using it

"Three days. You passed out after I told you that I was a pirate and then Yao here chewed me out for freaking you out enough for you to reopen your wounds and make you lose consciousness." He replied as the man I now know is named Yao begins unwrapping my wounds.

When I saw them I almost gaged. Both the bullet wound and the sword slash had a sickly green tint around their edges and they were both bright red and slightly oozing blood and pus.

"Are they supposed to look like that?" I asked in a small voice as we all stared at my wounds

"No looks like your wounds are infected and unfortunately I do not have any medicine to help you and we are several weeks away from any kind of port.

"You'll be in even more pain and you'll most likely get a very high and dangerous fever which judging by your body heat you're already getting." Yao told me as he cleaned my wounds which made me hiss in pain before he put clean bandages over them.

"Antonio seeing as this is your room and you've been sleeping in here with him I'm leaving him in your care.

"I'll send either Mei or Elizabeta in twice a day to change his bandages but other than that he's your responsibility till I can get the medicine he needs." The man told the captain in a very heavy Chinese accent before walking out of the room.

When he was gone all I wanted to do was fall asleep again but before I could that damned Spanish pirate stopped me

"Last time you were awake I told you my name so what's yours?" he asked looking down at me with those deep green eyes of his

"Lovino Vargas" I whispered before slipping into nothingness.

Antonio's POV

It had been three weeks since that night I learned Lovino's name and in those same three weeks the Italian has been trapped in sleep by the fever and infection that ravaged his thin frame.

He had woken up a few times only for me to notice that he really wasn't awake but simply in a fevered haze filled dream where he would cry out in Italian to phantoms only he could see.

Mei and Elizabeta came in twice every day to clean his wounds and change his bandages while I tried to get him to drink some water or to eat something when he would be in his semiconscious states. One day I walked into the room and found him fully awake on the bed, so walking over to the sick Italian I tried getting his attention

"Lovino how do you feel?" I asked as his hazel eyes found mine

"Like crap. My body hurts, I'm burning up, and I'm exhausted." He replied panting from his fever. I then pick up a cloth that had been sitting in water and place it over his forehead which causes him to sigh in relief before asking

"Why did you help me? I've been trying to figure it out ever since you told me you were a pirate.

"I've heard stories about the El Ángel del diablo and her captain saying that he was a heartless man who showed no mercy and painted the sea a deep red only rivaled by the blood red coat he wears. So why not toss me into the water when you found me?" he wondered which was a very good question.

"I'm not as bad as the stories say. Yes I show no mercy but I do have a heart. Only my crew and few close friends have only ever seen my caring side and if angered I snap quite easily. I didn't throw you overboard because it would have been better to give you a chance to live then just to let you die." I told him as he just nodded and fell asleep again.


Over the next several weeks I watched Lovino fight his fever and even though he said the Italian was my responsibility Yao came in a few time to see how he was doing.

"His fever is getting worse and if we don't treat his wounds he'll most likely die before we make port." He told me bluntly as I looked down at my charge

"Alfred said that we should make port in a few days and it's a large city with a hospital so we should be able to get him the treatment he needs. Lovino just needs to hold on till then. He's made it this long and I refuse to give up on him." I replied back before Yao left the room again.

Truth was whenever Lovino had his rare moments of being aware of his surroundings we would sit together and talk.

I learned that he had lost both his parents at a young age; he had two younger brothers he needed to get back to and because of his job at the docks he had picked up English, French, and a small amount of Spanish.

With each conversation I found myself praying that he would survive and I had stopped believing in God for years. I never knew how bored I was around this ship till I brought that box aboard and now I find myself wanting to thank my worst enemy for tricking me out of my tomatoes.
