Chapter 4: Naughty Behaviour Boys…
The days he spent on the ship was a blur of food, orders, Magnus and pirates. He spent the entire week being ordered around like he was just another pirate. Of course, he got special treatment from Magnus, but apart from that, the others treated him normally. He was just Alec to them, not treated any differently, not called a prince and he was thankful. By the time dinner came rolling around at the end of the week, he was laughing and drinking with them; becoming the pirate he always wanted to be.
"You know; I've always wanted to be a pirate. Ever since I was young. My parents hated the very existence of you guys. Always killing them off if they ever came to Alicante; even Idris! I was always against that, but what could I do? I was just a kid, I still am." Everybody silenced after he spoke. No sudden movements, no coughing, only stunned looks on all their faces. Magnus looked back and forth between each one before finally looking at Alec.
"Always wanted to be a pirate? Born into a royal family and wants to be a pirate… I've never heard of such a thing. Prince Alexander of Idris, soon to be king, a pirate? Wouldn't that be a great story…" He was mostly mumbling to himself at that point but still held his gaze. Alec reached out with his hand and placed it on the captain's shoulder making him come into focus. He looked mildly concerned about what was going on, but didn't know what to say. Until it hit him.
"My parents. Oh!No! My parents will be looking for us. I don't want to go back there. Magnus, you can't let me go back there. I don't want to be king. I want to stay here. With you. With all of you." Alecblurted out staring straight at Magnus, not stumbling once when he spoke. Everybody was still silent with a few gasps here and there but nothing else.
"Alexander…" He whispered almost inaudible if there wasn't silence. Alec cupped his face levelling his own eyesight with the man beside him.
"Please." Alec pleaded. His whole body shivered at the touch of Magnus' hand holding his own. He furrowed his brows together in frustration but let out a sigh, relaxing.
"Okay. Okay. Rags? Get the map. Raph? Get the sails up. Jem, Will, Aline and Helen, help him. Alec and I are going to get some weapons." He stood placing his hand out for him to take. He took it willingly and got pulled under the ship to where they stored their weapons. Alec hadn't taken any notice to the ship yet, so he was quite surprised at how big it was. It also seemed like it was well taken care of. He was cut out of his daydreaming when he realised Magnus was speaking.
"…So, I guess that's the plan. Alec? Were you listening?"
"Ah, no. Sorry."
"I was telling you the plan. We get as far away from Idris as we can. But if they find us, you will have to fight your own family. Are you prepared to do so?"
"I'm as ready as I can be, right? But I will not kill Izzy. If she is on that boat, or any of those boats. I will not kill her. I couldn't."
"Alright then. If that's your conditions, I'm okay with that. Now, what weapons do you use?" Alec started to label off all the weapons he has previously used in training, naming his main weapon a bow and arrows. He got equipped with many different daggers, a sword, and finally, his bow and quiver. He studied the arrows very carefully, making sure they were in good condition and well made.
"Silver?" Alec asked.
"Yeah. We're not ordinary pirates Alexander. I get the best quality weapons for my crew. We've only used them once on your people, but that was a long time ago." He placed the arrows into the quiver and stood up from his crouching position. The clothes that he was wearing were too tight and they started to suffocate him.
"Do you have anything, less tight? And black preferably." He said, again pulling at the material trying to loosen it.
"Honey, all I ever wear are tight clothes! But if you insist on wearing something looser…" Alec was lead back upstairs into the Captain's quarters. Ragnor was now steering the boat and the others were doing the labour. Magnus quickly pulled him inside and shut the door. He walked over to his closet and shuffled through the clothing. He pulled out a few different pieces of cloth, nodded, and handed it to Alec.
"There. It's less tight than what you're wearing now." He quickly started to undress, starting with his shirt. Alec saw that Magnus was watching him with hungry eyes, so he turned away from him. He heard him growl and walking closer.
"You just ruined the pretty sight," Magnus purred, spinning him around to face him. He was holding down his wrists against the bedside table, so he was unable to move. He saw the lust in his eyes saying that he wanted him. He already knew that, but with the crew around? Alec wanted to change the subject quickly before things got out of hand.
"Where am I sleeping tonight?" He said confidently, making sure that it looked like the situation didn't faze him.
"In here, of course. I'm not making you sleep down under with the crew. They'll eat you alive, bombard you with questions or kill you if you make the wrong move. Now I, on the other hand…" He stroked his jawline making shudder. "Would never harm, my precious little Alexander. Where were we? Oh, that's right." Alec, moving away from the table, was now backed up against the wall. Magnus smiled that awfully attractive smile he always pulled around him, and leant forward making Alec leaned even more into the wall.
"Wait," He placed his hands-on Magnus' chest to push him back. "I've never kissed a man before. I've never kissed anyone before. This isn't right."
"Just relax Alexander. You'll be fine."
"But this won't be accepted. You see what happens to people that are… are-like this."
"You mean attracted to the same gender? Alexander, pirates can be who they are. No one will find out. I promise."
"Promise?"
"Of course." He was still in the clothes that he was wearing before, but he didn't care. In this moment, he could be who he was. He put his hands on his waist, pulling him closer towards himself. He knew it was wrong to be doing this. But those thoughts instantly faded when he felt lips meeting his own. It was like everything became clear in that moment. His whole life finally made sense.
He let these thoughts go when the kiss got more heated, leading to Alec straddling Magnus' hips and lacing his hands through his hair. He knew how affected he was by Magnus' touch, feeling a deep throbbing pain his crotch. He must have known as he then rolled his hips into Alec's making him let out a low moan from the back of his throat. He instantly turned bright red and turned his head to the side to separate from him. He was utterly embarrassed by the noise he had made, so much that it brought tears to his eyes. Magnus circled his cheeks with his thumb, calming Alec down instantly. He looked back to see that he was staring at him, without lust this time, but with complete compassion.
"Hey, it's all right. No need to be embarrassed. I love the effect I have on you." Alec smiled at this knowing that Magnus was right. There was no need to be embarrassed when it was just them, alone. None of the crew would come bursting in without knocking, unless it was important, and they would never expect their Captain to fancy someone. Especially a Prince.
Alec nodded, once, then twice, then bared his neck for Magnus to devour. He knew his neck was the most sensitive part of his body, so he knew he would be pleased. Alec's legs, still wrapped around his hips, gracefully on the ground guiding them to a more comfortable spot. Doing so, he had spun around, taking control of the situation. He grinned while pushing him down onto the bed, straddling him, and leaning down to kiss him. They were so caught up in the moment that they didn't notice the knock at the door, and the person standing beside them. He coughed, startling both Alec and Magnus, making them fall on the floor. They looked up to see Ragnor shaking his head at them, eyebrows raised.
"Guess you couldn't keep your hands off each other. It lasted a week, usually it would only be two days before Mags would seduce them enough- anyway. I did knock by the way, you didn't notice. I think Raph needs to see you? Talk about where we're going? I don't know," They were still looking at him dazed, trying to take in every word, but failing. "Oh, and take a shower. You both stink." He left the room still shaking his head, closing the door behind him. Alec looked over to Magnus and started to cry. He curled into his chest and cried into it.
"Shh… He won't tell anyone, you know that, right? He knows that you're not comfortable with this…"
"I- I know…" He sniffled looking up. Alec wiped his eyes and sat up.
"Shouldn't you go to Raph? You know how angry he can get. Even I know, and I've been here for only a week!" He exclaimed still crying a little. Magnus kissed hus neck slightly and mumbled against it,
"He can wait." And with that, they got back to sweet, silly, naughty, behaviour.
