Summary: Pintel is worn out from a raid. He comes to his bed room to find a little surprise.
It had been a long raid. Pintel was completely worn out. He had to fight so many men at one time, it seemed like he was fighting the entire world.
Well, the entire world minus Ragetti, at least.
Jack had guided them to the port near the middle of the night. The raid itself took less than a half hour but the fight that ensued seemed endless.
Pintel remembered to thank whatever god was at work for making sure he didn't run out of ammunition.
He stumbled his way down the steps of the Black Pearl, heading to Ragetti's and his cabin. Pintel's eyes drooped down every so often, but he snapped them back open within the same second.
He crashed into the door of the cabin, surprised to find two things: the fact that Ragetti's was already changed and asleep, and that he was sleeping on Pintel's bed.
Had the raid not continued until sunrise or much later, Pintel would have surely kicked Ragetti out of his cot. This time, however, Pintel just accepted the fact he was there.
Pintel climbed into the cramped bed with Ragetti, his eyes closing instantly. He managed to stay conscious enough to cuddle up with Ragetti and make himself comfortable. He then immediately fell into a deep sleep.
In his slumber, Pintel felt Ragetti grin against his chest.
