Disclaimer: Sadly, I did not get the rights to PotC or HP for Christmas or New Years, so I still do not own it.
Terribly sorry about the wait! (Over half a year! DX) My New Year's Resolution is to update more frequently, and hopefully I can keep that up! I'll prolly write a chapter or two in the next few days so that they can be there when I update in a few months (if something horrible doesn't happen). I'll stop talking now…so on with the story!
Chapter 6-HPOTC
Finding Mr. Gibbs was harder than expected. For one, they had Will. He was not used to the scenes that took place in Tortuga. Another reason it was harder was because there were even more people shooting off guns than usual. That was pretty simple, though; compared to the trouble Jack got himself into later. The trio was walking through the crowded, drunken streets, when a woman, beautiful in the eyes of a pirate, strutted over and slapped Jack. Harry gave the woman a piercing glare, and if she had been looking in his direction, she would have cowered in fear. Before she could walk away, Harry grabbed her wrist.
"What the hell was that for, bitch? Why'd you slap Jack? I understand that he makes mistakes, and a lot of them, but there's no need to go around slapping blokes! Explain!" Harry fumed. The lady stuck her nose in the air snootily.
"He cheated on me, you little queer! I doubt you would understand a girl's heartbreak as you are! And why do you care so much if I slap Jack or not. That's between me and him," the woman concluded. Harry, still holding on to her wrist, slapped her straight back.
"I may be gay, but don't give me shit just because of it! And do you know why I care? I care because I love him! We're a couple. That shows you how much he truly cares about whores like you," Harry shot back. The woman was abhorred. She huffed and turned to walk off.
"Hey!" Harry shouted, "I wasn't done with you yet!" The whore turned back, receiving a punch in the face. Jack cringed, thinking of how that must have felt. The lady slapped Harry as comeback, and Harry slapped her right back. A fight broke out, gathering a crowd. Cheers were heard for the two "women", motivating to keep at it. Hair was pulled, slaps were given, and there was lots of pinning the other to the ground. (A/N: If you've never seen two girls fight, it's pretty gruesome. They really go at it.) Finally, Will decided to step in.
"Please stop it! You don't need to fight over Jack; for the short time I've known him, I don't think he deserves either of you beauties." And…that wasn't the right thing to say, unfortunately for Will. Harry stopped the fighting and marched over to the new Tortuga visitor. Harry had to crane his neck to meet him eye-to-eye, but once he did, Will couldn't help but cower in fear.
"Are you saying that Jack and I aren't a good couple? That we don't love each other with our whole being? That we wouldn't die for each other? Jack cares for me, you bastard! Don't say such shit without meaning it!" Will slowly backed away until he was right next to Jack.
"Jack…help me!" Will whispered fervently to the pirate, hoping he could deal with his little lover. Jack held up his hands and denied giving help.
"Once you get Harry started, you can't get him to stop. And you should think about what you say before you say it, right?" Jack draped an arm around the petite man, as Harry got into a fighting stance. Will put his hands up in defense before quickly turning and running away. Harry watched the retreating figure before picking up a steady pace after the man.
"We better go after him. Don't want him getting lost and dying on us, right Jackie?" Harry explained. Time to find the wimpy blacksmith.

Apparently Will's body knew a good direction to go in when his mind did not. It was a blessing to Jack and Harry. Not only did they get plenty of exercise, but Will also led them directly to Gibbs. Scrunching his nose up at the horrid smell, Harry pointed to the sleeping form lying with the pigs.
"That's Gibbs? Would it have killed him to at least sleep somewhere a bit less…smelly?" Jack grinned and kissed Harry's scrunched-up face before tossing a pail of water onto the resting form.
"Curse ye for breathing, ya slack-jawed idiot!" Gibbs yelled as he woke with his knife in hand, but pocketed it as he noticed Jack. "Jack! You shouldn't wake a man up like that; it's bad luck!" he scolded.
"Ah, fortunately, I know how to counter it," Jack responded as he crouched down next to Gibbs while saying, "The man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink; the man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking."
"Aye, that'll 'bout do it." Gibbs got to his feet only to be soaked in another pail of water. "What was that for? I'm already awake!"
"That was for the smell," Will shrugged. Harry laughed and grabbed Will's arm as they sauntered over to the closest bar.

Harry was handed a drink from Jack at his spot where he would "keep watch" with Will as Jack talked with Gibbs. Harry wasn't notified yet on the subject of the discussion so he was annoyed, but he would ask Jack about it later.
"So what's up with you and Jack? I mean…how did your relationship start in the first place?" Will asked hesitantly. Harry laughed at Will's cautious attitude.
"You can speak openly, Will; you don't have to be afraid of me. I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other a lot, what with this journey for your one love and all. To answer your question, it was a really simple beginning, actually. We were both on the same island and when we saw each other, we just knew we were destined to be." Harry took a swig from his mug, gave it to Will, and threw a punch at a random passerby. Will watched quizzically as Harry let out a small battle cry as he joined a fight head on, dodging and ducking blows easily, not nearly as intoxicated at the others.
A minute later, Jack and Gibbs took a final drink before heading towards Will. Jack continued on, casually maneuvering through the crowd until he could grab Harry's shirt and pulled him out of the bar. Once outside and Harry was let go, the raven haired man automatically went into a pouting form.
"Why'd you have to spoil my fun, Jack? It wasn't like I would get hurt!" Jack grinned and moved closer to Harry.
"Don't worry. I can make it up to you right now, if you're interested, love?" Harry beamed, and he dragged Jack back to the ship like his life depended on it.
"What's up with them?" Gibbs asked Will. Will just shrugged.
"I don't know, but they're always like this," Will explained as he, at a slower pace than the couple, returned to the ship.
Hope it was good! It's too short for my liking, but I'll try to write 2,000 words for the next chapter(s). Reviews (and flames) are always accepted! :)
