Kaishin Drabble 25

Tumblr Prompts: Pirate AU, "I've been needing a new cabin boy to warm my bed."

Shinichi Kudo was a fearless pirate hunter, trained by the famous Yusaku Kudo, hired by the British navy. The aloof captain was well respected in his field and admired by people all over the world.

KID, on the other hand, preferred to be called a liberator of precious items on the high seas. The pirate was nigh impossible to catch even for Kudo, but that didn't stop him from trying. The two and their respective crews had battled time and time again, usually resulting in massive damage to their ships but never any loss of life. Each battle was always considered a draw.

Until today.

Shinichi watched helplessly as his ship went down. He tried to go in after it—a captain should go down with his ship—but two of KID's goons held him tight aboard KID's ship, Pandora. His crew…his crew was tied to Pandora's main mast, far from where Shinichi had been forced into submission. He was useless.

The sound of clicking boots on wood stole Shinichi's attention from his sinking ship. There was KID, clicking his way down the stairs in his pure white suit and white, 3-cornered hate. As usual to their confrontations, the pirate king wore an eye mask that did nothing to hide his purple irises from view. "Well, well, well…" he practically purred. "Look what the tide brought in."

"…Was that seriously the only thing you could think of?" Shinichi mocked. "How clichéd. You'd think that the infamous Captain KID could come up with better lines."

KID pursed his lips, looking down his nose at Shinichi, and snapped his fingers. One of the thugs holding him punched Shinichi in the stomach.

Shinichi doubled over, a scream barely held in. KID tsked disappointedly. "Really, Kudo? And here I thought you'd be able to be able to hold your tongue better since the lives of your crew are in the palm of my hand."

"You've…never killed…before…"

"Things change, Shin-chan." KID grabbed Shinichi's chin and leaned in uncomfortably close. "What was it that you called me last time? 'A hopeless bastard that would steal the air from your lungs?' Is that what you think?"

"You…You're doing this just because of a stupid insult!? You're insane!"

"Probably. I think it's time you remembered who wears the pants in our relationship." He pinched Shinichi's cheek.

Shinichi jerked away. "We don't have a relationship!"

KID turned to his crew. "Put the prisoners in the brig!" He ordered. "But lock Kudo in my quarters. I've been needing a new cabin boy…" He leered at Shinichi. "And this one would look quite fine in my bed."

A/N: Barely avoided tying Shinichi up again… *sweat drop*
