'Finally.'
'At last.'
Those two thoughts run together as brown eyes meet honeyed. So perfectly in sync, they both look up into the others' eyes, watching, waiting.
Watching the love shine from the eyes of a person who had never known such true love until that point. Also watching the hurt of the other heart fade as he takes in that love, seeing it as tender and true.
Waiting for the other person to make some show of their thoughts. Of the decision that is rapidly gaining reality, they wait.
Bill stands near the opening of the corridor, looking from his son to his former Captain. He sees their eyes lock, and this time, he knows Jack is really in love. Because how often can you get to know about a person and not tell when they're so happy, it could only be one person. And even when that person isn't you, you can always see it.
'I'm so glad that Jack never actually loved me.' Because Will would never settle for being second fiddle, second mate, maybe. Bill knows his son more than any body knows, Will had had an angel looking down on (or across from, or diagonally….) him. Because really, how long can you be chained to a cannon under the water before the chains rust, and start to weaken?
'Not too long let me tell you.' Ever since the day Bill got out, he had watched Will, with the exception of the little adventure of the Pearl's.
Yeah, he was decidedly too absent for that. But even though he was miles away, he still knew what had happened afterward, about Jack and Will. But he also learned about their love a little behind their great story.
And now he gets to see it first hand!
