Will. Jack mused silently, rolling it over on his tongue and deciding that he liked it.
He liked it very much indeed.
********
Jack smiled blissfully into the darkness.
Finally, his problem had been settled. True, the solution had not been provided by his first choice but beggars couldn't be choosers and neither could horny Captains who were about to implode from the built up of sexual frustration.
But now, after the multiple explosions, Captain Jack Sparrow was a happy man.
Not a very, very happy man but a happy man nevertheless who had his arm wrapped around an exhausted wrench ("Again?" The wrench had gasped in horror). Furthermore, he was currently lying in the room next to the room of a certain, extremely delectable lad.
Jack rolled out of bed, ignoring the soft grumbles of the wrench as she flipped over and promptly fell asleep again, drooling becomingly on the grimy pillow.
Stepping outside the room, he leaned against the railings, grinning at the continuing merriment and bluster that was still carrying on at that late hour.
Lighting a cigar, he inhaled deeply and nonchalantly glanced at the room next to his.
Licking his teeth absently, Jack finally pushed off the railing and stepped towards the door.
However, before he could advance any further, he was roughly shoved aside.
"Hey!" He yelled indignantly. His eyes widened as he saw two rotund uniformed men bearing down towards him menacingly and he backed off warily.
Raising his hands in mock surrender, he said soothingly, "I'm sorry. I'm backing away, see?"
Jack exhaled a small sigh of relief as the two uniformed men settled for simply glaring at him before turning away smugly.
He could see a well-built, distinguished-looking man shielded behind the two guards, As Jack stared surreptitiously out of the corner of his eye, he mused on the probability that that was likely to be Will's owner.
The man rapped sharply, impatiently on the door which swung opened almost immediately.
Jack caught a quick glimpse of the lad's face before he was roughly shoved inside the room and the door was slammed shut.
And he frowned as he felt a small stirring of worry inside him.
Will was grinning but the grin never reached his eyes.
******
The warm rays of the sun bathed Captain Jack Sparrow in a golden shower.
Leaning nonchalantly against the side of the building, he looked up occasionally, his alert, darting eyes a contradiction to his relaxed posture.
Finally spying his heart's desire emerging from the building, the corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction.
Jack smoothly fell into step beside the lad, smirking in a blasé manner when a glare was directed at him.
"Will, what are you doing on this fine morning?" Jack asked exaggeratedly, slinging an arm over Will's shoulders.
Huffing in outrage, Will shrugged free of Jack's arm.
"How do you know my name?" He asked suspiciously, staring at Jack through lidded eyes.
Trying to hide the embarrassing fluttering in his stomach at the mere sight of the lad, Jack smirked, "I have ways of finding out things."
As an afterthought, he added with a lavish bow, "Captain Jack Sparrow, at your service."
Raising one perfect eyebrow quizzically, the lad rolled his eyes. "Am I supposed to be impressed?" He snorted in derision, wrinkling his nose in distaste.
Charmed by the adorable sneer on the lad's face, Jack didn't reply, simply gazing contendedly at him.
His eyes narrowing in disgust, Will muttered darkly, "Get away from me."
"I'm warning you." Will added sternly, as he quickened his footsteps.
Effortlessly matching Will's faster strides, Jack clasped his hands to his chest dramatically.
"I'm wounded! After all, I waited all night for you to give you this!"
Stopping so abruptly that Jack had to make an about-turn, Will looked at him askance. "You didn't wait for me! I could hear you going all night long! I didn't get any sleep at all because of you!"
"So you did notice me," Jack pounced on his words in satisfaction. Winking knowingly at Will, Jack smiled smugly. "Besides, you contributed some of the noise last night too."
Blushing deeply, Will glowered. "That's none of your business!" He snapped, whirling away from Jack.
"Wait!" Jack grabbed Will's arm, dropping it in surprise as a harsh gasp of pain emerged from the lad.
"Are you hurt?" Jack asked in concern, reaching out tenderly.
"No!" Will backed away from Jack, cradling his arm protectively. "You just startled me," he said brusquely.
Not believing him in the least, Jack decided to let the matter slip.
"Anyway," Jack grinned widely. "I wanted to give you this."
Bowing deeply, Jack presented Will with a straggly bunch of wildflowers with a flourish.
Looking at Jack in disbelief, Will was torn between grabbing the flowers and throwing them into Jack's face or bursting into laughter.
He settled for a bewildered, "You just picked the flowers from over there!"
"Maybe I did and maybe I didn't," Jack said mysteriously. "Well, are you going to be so rude as to refuse my gift?" He asked, waggling the flowers irritatingly in Will's face.
Gaping at Jack, Will sighed in frustration and ignored him, stalking away.
"Hey!" Jack grumbled, hurrying to catch up with his prey once again.
