Round Two
A/N- Thank you to all those that reviewed! Wow, I didn't think I'd get so many of them for this random fic of silliness of mine. To those of you that suggested something, I'll try my best to fit them in, and if not, they could always be ideas in future chapters(under the assumption that there will be), ne? Please, tell me what you think of this chapter, and keep the ideas coming!
~*~*~*~*~
Jack Sparrow still sat in the middle of his large cushioned chair, the same one that seemed to embrace him with the warmth of a tavern wench's arms. It was a comfortable piece of furniture to be sure, but at the moment, the pirate captain wasn't comforted. Elizabeth, damn her rum hating attitude, had made sure he began fulfilling the horrible dare she laid upon him without further delay. And Will, Jack knew he should never have trusted that love sick whelp, had helped her in confiscating his much enjoyed bottle. Together, they had taken it away faster than he could say "pirate", so now, the opaque green bottle holding its brown contents was placed out of his reach between his two supposed friends.
The pirate swore he would get back at both of them, and Captain Jack Sparrow was a man of his words... when he meant them. This time, he definitely meant them.
"Will, truth or dare?"
Will took in the calculating stare within the pirate's kohl lined eyes and winced inwardly. "You're going to make me regret having helped Elizabeth, aren't you?"
The blacksmith's waited response came in the form of a gold toothed smile that looked too scoundrel like for comfort. Even with Jack Sparrow as his friend, Will was harshly reminded that he was dealing with a pirate.
"I had ye warned." Jack's feral smile widened further. "Now choose, lad, truth or dare?"
Great, he wasn't only dealing with a pirate, but a pirate that wanted revenge. At the moment, he decided 'dare' may not be the smartest choice, so he picked its only alternative, "Truth." The blooming smile spreading across his friend's features told him he may have chosen the wrong anyway.
Jack's grin went into full flourish. "Is miss Swann still virgin?"
From beside Will, Elizabeth flushed red, probably from both embarrassment and anger. "Captain Jack Sparrow!!"
It was a knee-jerk reaction, Jack snapping his head in her direction. As was likely his response, "Aye!"
But Will speaking drew his attention back onto the blacksmith. "Shouldn't you ask Elizabeth that?" The young man was growing scarlet in his cheeks too and Jack looked on with interest as Will went nearly as flustered as his bonnie lass.
"Nay, mate. I'm sure you'd know." Slowly, the smug expression on the pirate's features faltered as he considered a probable reason to the hesitancy. The realization etched a light frown on his face and he muttered under his breath, "I knew you're a eunuch."
"I will not tolerate the two of you talking as if I'm not here!" Elizabeth's strong voice echoed through the room, loudly enough to make Jack wince in his chair.
The lass really had quite a voice for a dainty governor's daughter. Along that line of thought, Jack reckoned maybe it was better that Will remained an eunuch and stayed away from marrying her. There would be no living with such a loud mouthed lass, but then the pirate knew better. The lad had the tendency to do stupid things, he wouldn't be able to tell if anything was good for him. Grimacing, both in expression and expressed as a slight waving of his ringed fingers, Jack shook his head. "No good," he figured.
In the meanwhile, Will was looking towards Elizabeth as if for help, but if help was what he was truly looking for, he was disappointed. Elizabeth was just busy glaring ahead at one Jack Sparrow. So with his face still blushing deep pink, Will murmured softly, "...no."
Jack was shaken out of his reverie by the word. "What?" he questioned, having genuinely missed what Will said. Elizabeth shifted uncomfortably in the corner of his vision.
"The answer is 'no'," Will repeated once more, also shifting slightly. Jack's reemerging roguish grin made him squirm even more in his seat.
"There, that wasn't so hard." Jack moved to take a swig from his bottle of rum before he realized his bottle was still sitting between the blushing couple. The pirate furrowed his brows. Why hadn't he dared Will to give him back his rum?! "Probably for the same reason he chose truth," he muttered, throwing his hands up in frustration. At this rate, he would never get the bottle back.
By then, the two had recovered enough to continue with the game. "Truth or dare?" Will asked Elizabeth.
"Truth," she replied, said with the same certainty she answered 'dare' in earlier.
Will didn't even consider his question this time. Taking Elizabeth's soft hands into his own rough ones, he met her eyes and launched directly into his heart's inquiry, "Have you ever regretted loving me?"
Jack fell backward into his seat with an exasperated expression. He knew it was too much to expect anything interesting from Will, but it was still slightly disappointing to see what a mess he made of the pirate game. The blacksmith had showed such promise in all areas of piracy too, perhaps just not in their games. Jack will have to remedy that later.
Much, much less frustrated with Will's question than Jack was, Elizabeth held her lover's callused hands back tightly. "No," she answered in a firm solid word, "Nor will I ever. I love you, Will."
"I love you too, Elizabeth."
"And I love me rum," Jack added in a low mutter across from them. Still, it was good to see his friends happy even if they were being a bit too sweet on each other. Now, how he wish they would make him happy too. His cheek muscle twitched when he realized that won't happen anytime soon.
Thankfully, the sugary moment didn't last too long and soon Elizabeth was ready to resume. "Will Captain Jack Sparrow choose truth or dare?"
"Da... eh... Truth." If Jack had wanted to choose dare before, one look at his poor confiscated bottle reminded him what this missy was capable of. He will take his chances with truth.
Elizabeth stared at Jack curiously. "Have you ever spoken a single truth in your life?"
That was it? The pirate captain could almost sigh in relief. He had expected the lass to ask something awful from him, like if he loved her. It would have been horribly tragic to answer truthfully and break her heart. Really, it wouldn't have worked out between them.
Gaining his wavered confidence, Jack took up a charming smile. "O'course, darling. I always tell the truth. When have I lied to ye?"
From Will's direction, Jack thought he heard a mumbled answer that sounded awfully like "Right now."
Jack sat up in his chair and frowned. "I'd like you to know I don't lie to my friends... unless I have to of course. Those would be special circumstances... environments... orientations..." Finishing, he waved his hands in dismissal. "Nevermind."
"Alright, now the question I-" Before Elizabeth could finish though, she was interrupted by the pirate holding up a hand.
Slowly, Jack placed down his hand and grinned in his tooth revealing, skin crinkling, open, carefree manner. "Sorry, luv, but you already asked your question."
And realizing that she did, Elizabeth couldn't do anything but shut her hanging mouth. "Bloody pirate."
