Jack stood outside, breathing in the fresh air.
"Jack a-are you quite sure we should-"
Will's arm was grabbed In jack's tight grip and he was led off abruptly toward Elizabeth's residence. Will had to admit, he didn't mind Jack's dominance, nor did he mind the slight pain in his arm were Jack was holding onto him. Keeping the control over him. Boy did he so not mind being taken control of.
But, alas, Will did not want to go find Elizabeth at the moment, he was enjoying Jacks company far too well to let Elizabeth intrude. So the blacksmith stopped walking abruptly and pulled his arm away from jack. He didn't break free but he did manage to make Jack loose his balance and fall on the hard ground. Will got pulled down beside Jack Thank heavens I didn't fall on top of him Will thought. Jack grunted.
"Why'd ye have to go an' do tha', Willy?" Jack let go of will and sat up slowly feeling the back of his head. Doubtful that he hit the ground hard enough for him to get knocked out but those trinkets could be deadly if fallen upon. Will didn't bother to sit up and looked up at Jack's sitting figure.
"I don't want to go find Liz."
"And how do you propose we leave without her finding out?"
"Well."
"Come on get up, you don't have a choice in this lad."
"Wha-"
"You heard me," Jack stood and towered above Will's body. "Get up and lets go. Don't make me carry ye."
"But Ja-" Jack rolled his eyes ever so slightly before bending down and grabbing Will and slinging him over his shoulder and started to walk off.
"Put me down this instant!" the disgruntled blacksmith yelled to his captor.
"Mmm nope."
"And why not?"
"Because"
"That's not a good enough answer." Jack sighed and slapped will's ass.
"'s that a good enough answer for ya?" Will eeked and his eyes widened.
"Jack!"
"Will?"
"Jack!"
"Will?"
"You- you- you put me down right now!" he struggled over jack's shoulder until jack couldn't hold him up so he dropped him abruptly on his back and glared over him.
"Happy?"
"No"
" Didn't think so. So tell me why we can't go to yer ladies house?"
Will, of course, didn't have a logical reason and just stared with his mouth open.
"Alrighty then. To Liz's house it is." Jack said firmly. Will nodded silently and followed behind the captain like a whipped puppy dog until they arrived at the gate. Jack and will looked up at the large closed gate debating with themselves on how they should go about entering.
"Well Jack, it looks as if the fates have decided that we should not go to Elizabeth and have locked us out."
"Don't be silly mate." Jack then started walking away to Wills utter confusion. But will's questioning mind was soon answered when Jack came running down the street toward the gate and flung himself up onto the gate with so much impact that the gate swung open.
"Aaaahhgg" Jack said and hung on for dear life. Apparently, the gate wasn't locked nor was it completely closed. Jack hadn't noticed this, and although Will did notice this, he didn't wish to bring his attention to it. But it was hard to miss now that Jack was swinging back and forth until he finally found a good place to jump off, inside the garden of tulips and geraniums, smishing several. Will shook his head and followed suite.
"I sometimes wonder if you're as sane as you claim to be, Jack."
Jack snorted
"I've never once in our relationship claimed my sanity, dear William." Will just walked off toward the front door and waited for Jack to catch up. When they both arrived Will tested the door. Locked. For sure this time.
"Well jack. Do you wish to plummet yourself into the door once again? This time I'm quite sure it's locked therefore throwing you into it won't do much good. Might scratch your pretty face but . . ." will trailed off
I didn't just say he had a pretty face, did I? Will thought worriedly
I knew it wasn't just my imagination! I am pretty! Jack thought, smiling cockily, obviously not as obsessed about who said it.
"Well lad, we should bang on the door until someone opens it then shoot them, then go inside and steal all their good, rape their women, and torture all that's left."
Will raised an eyebrow.
"No, never mind, I was thinking of my next adventure. What we should do know is climb up the side of the house to her window, open it, then sneak in"
"And how will we go about doing that?"
Jack shrugged
"I came up with the plan, you get to work out the technicalities."
Will took a few large steps back and looked up at the house. He saw a thick wall of vines going up to a window. He quickly walked over to it and pulled on it to test its strength. He realized there was a wooden platform holding it up, a smirked crossed his lips and he motioned for Jack to join him, looking immensely pleased with himself at his discovery.
"Ah, very resourceful of you, boy. Now do ye have any idea on whose room that happens to belong't?"
Will looked at him and shrugged helplessly
"I figured it out you get to decide whether or not it's worth the risk." Jack paused a moment then smiled brightly and slapped him on the back and pushed him toward the vines.
"Go on go on you first whelp." Will was trying to resists, he hadn't had time to. . . . Plan his climbing….
"But Jack…" Jack heaved Will onto the vines and looked at him disapprovingly.
"Will, have we not already decided that nothing good comes out of questioning me?"
Will sigh exasperatedly, having the distinct feeling that he'd be exasperated a lot when around Jack. Will proceeded to climb up, when he reached a halfway point Jack jumped up onto the vines and started climbing enthusiastically causing the platform to shake visibly. Will clung onto the vines; scared shitless That Jack would be the cause of his death tonight.
"Jack stop shaking it!!"
"Not until you keep climbing." Jack bounced a bit.
"Jack its going to fall!" Bounce Bounce Bounce; eventually Will took a tentative few steps up vines.
"Good boy… keep going… keep on going…" Will had halted a bit but as soon as jack gave a warning bounce he started going fast, followed closely by Jack. Will kept going faster and said slightly calmer, to Jack
"Jack! I'm climbing stop bouncing!" Jacks voice wasn't as happy as usual…
"Um… I'm not bouncing it…" will looked up terrified to see that he platform was coming off the side. His eyes widened as he scurried up to the window seal and pulled himself up onto the narrow little area and sat, uneasily. Then he realized Jack wasn't able to get up.
"Jack! Hurry up before it gives!"
Jack giggled nervously
"Well I'm trying… honestly… I just seem to have gotten my foot caught right here…" The vine platform gave a loud creak and started to detach. Jack looked up to Will as if to say nothings to worry about. Jack spoke his voice hitching.
"No worries I'll make it…" Will gave his hand to jack in urgency.
"Here take my hand and ill try and heave you out of it." Jack took his hand and they pulled for a moment when jacks hand slipped out causing the platform to break off completely making Will scream before he dove down a bit and latched onto it and hold on to the incredibly heavy piece of wood, the vines cutting into his palms. Will tried jerking it up but just hit himself against the window causing a loud clang and shook Jack around.
"Will! Don't do tha'!" Jack sounded as if he was running out of ideas, as if he had any in the first place. Just then The window behind will opened and he almost fell through but landed leaning against Liz.
She gasped
"Will! Jack!" she immediately threw her candle down on the floor and latched onto the edge of the platform to help pull Jack up. They succeeded in holding it still but Jack was still stuck.
"Jack, you'll have to take off your boot! Or else you'll be stuck there!"
"Well luvley Liz, s'not that easy as you see I'd have to bend down." She sighed exasperatedly much like Will had done about three times before.
"Oh for gods sake Jack just hold on with one hand and stop being a bloody baby!"
Jack then sighed as if she was a child and he knew everything and her suggestions were futile.
"Alright" He said and bent down, his shift in weight shifting the platform and the two up in the room held on tighter. He kept one hand latched onto the vines and tried to unlace his boot and pull out with some difficulty but managed to get out of it and scampered his way up to the window and climbed in relaxing slightly.
"See Elizabeth? All I had to do was take my foot out of my boot!" Jack proclaimed as if it was his idea.
She rolled her eyes. Will looked out the window curiously, expecting to see the platform give away and fall down to the ground but it just stayed there hardly separated from the walls.
"Um Elizabeth? Why isn't this falling?" Will gave it a good push and it just held steady.
"Oh it wont fall, its attached to the wall in the middle as well. See?" She pointed to where it was attached.
"And why didn't ye tell us before now? Perhaps when I was still on the bloody thing!?" Elizabeth smirked
"It was entertaining." Jack smiled sarcastically at her then frowned. Sniffing the air slightly.
"Do ye smell something… burning?"
