Chap 7 – this time I saved him
Lee walked into the sickbay and saw Ana helping the doctor with Dawson's injuries. Lee quickly moved to the blonde's side "Lee, he's ok" Ana said as she saw the look on the young pirate's face. "It was just like the dream wasn't it?" Lee looked up and nodded "except this time I saved him" Ana smiled "what did Jack want?" Lee thought for a moment 'don't think he'd like it if the crew found out the Captain was actually normal for a while "He…He just told me off for being an idiot" "ah ok then". "There, now it shouldn't be long until he comes round" "would it be ok if I stay here?" "Well…" "Please?" The doctor sighed "all right then, but try not to excite him when he comes round" Lee smiled as Ana left and the Doctor went back to tending the minor injuries other crew members had received during the storm.
Lee had been sat down in the sick bay for at least an hour when Dawson finally stirred. "Aw...my...head" "Dawson?" Lee smiled as the blonde blinked and smiled back. Dawson tried to sit up but the doctor was at his side in an instant. "Lie down and stay still, you've had a nasty smash to your side, your going to have to wait a while for the stitches to set". Dawson huffed and lay back down. After the doctor had checked the boys vision and reactions plus made sure his wounds were ok and telling him not to move too much as the stitches would tear he left the two boys alone in the sick bay. The boys talked for a while until Dawson lay back and closed his eyes. Lee, thinking he was asleep, made to leave the room.
"Why'd you save me?"
Lee turned and was met by Dawson staring back at him. "What?" The blonde winced as he pushed himself up onto his elbows and Lee moved quickly to his side. "You could have killed yourself, why'd you jump after me?" "Because I love you" Dawson looked uneasy "enough to kill yourself for me?" Lee smiled "yes…but I wouldn't have died…its not the first time I've jumped or fell off the ship you know".
Dawson laughed quietly then winced and grabbed his side. "Ow…that sucks" "hmm…what does?" "Complete rest means I cant thank you properly" Dawson smirked as Lee blushed and glared at him. "Lets hope you recover quickly then, I better go help up top for a while, be back down later love" Lee leaned over and fully kissed Dawson on the lips before turning and walking off. Dawson watched his boyfriend leave before collapsing back onto the bed and shutting his eyes.
"Lee, come here!" The boy looked over the helm and saw his dad grinning. "What?" "That's a nice way to greet your father, when I was going to let you take over steering!" Lee smiled "really?" "Hmm…so you up for it?" "Yeah! Where we going?" "Little shipping village for stock up, s'about 3 days sail from here the storm threw us off track so it'll take a while longer" Lee smiled and leaned on the wheel.
"So…how's Dawson?" "He's fine, gash on his side n a few other scratches, should be ok in a week or so". Lee glanced lazily around the deck and smirked "err…Dad? Is there a reason why Will's looking like someone dropped a bilge rat down his breeches?" Jack turned and looked at the younger man who was fidgeting nervously. Jack grinned "keep her on course son, theres something I need to take care of" Lee laughed as Jack half ran over to Will, grabbing the blacksmith's arm and pulling him below deck.
Man this took an effin long time to write!! So sorry! Eh…with coursework, friends, boyfriend and generally having no ideas or motivation for this story I didn't really have a chance of getting anywhere with it!
But…Here it is! Im also not very good at long conversations, would rather be writing action of some sort but…hey! Even hot pirates have to talk every now an then!
