A/N - I should warn everyone that there's a lemon in this chapter at the end.
"Hello," a female voice said and Atemu snapped open his crimson eyes. He quickly discovered that Seto was missing and there was a strange tanned woman with long black hair standing over him. "I'm Isis. Captain Seto told me to look you over to see if you can get out of bed yet."
As Isis talked she tugged at the blankets pulling them off Atemu's body. It was only then that he remembered he was still naked.
"Hey!" In protest Atemu attempted to pull the blankets back up but Isis was holding firm.
"Oh please!" she said while rolling her eyes. "You have nothing I haven't seen before."
Succeeding in stripping Atemu of his blankets, Isis helped him sit up so she could exam him and placed a black bag next to him.
"Open your moth and stick out your tongue," she commanded as she pulled out an object from the bag.
Atemu did what he was told and Isis stuck a flat wooden stick into his mouth practically choking him in the process. After a few moments Isis removed the stick, much to Atemu's relief, and placed it back into the bag. Atemu was happy for a few minutes until he saw Isis pull out a magnifying device and began looking into his ears.
"Leave me alone!" Atemu protested as he tried leaning his head away from the object.
"Oh quit being a baby," Isis scolded as she placed the instrument back into the bag. "You're almost as bad as Malik."
"That's because you won't leave me alone!" Atemu hissed as he looked on in horror as Isis pulled out a third object from the bag. Atemu was confused at first watching Isis as she hooked the device into her ears. He then yelped when the cold metallic part was placed against his chest so Isis could listen to his lungs. Isis forced him to breath deeply a few times before she finally satisfied and pulled the object away.
"You're not completely healthy," Isis told him as she made sure everything was packed away in her bag. "But I see no reason why you cannot get up for a little while. I want you to remain warm though. This means keeping yourself wrapped in a blanket. You also need to keep your fluid intake up and you still need a lot of rest. I'll be talking to Captain Seto so don't try anything funny. Got it?"
"I get it," Atemu grumbled. Although he did not like the rules he was grateful about being able to get out of bed. He was so happy he forgot all about his embarrassment about being naked in front of Isis.
When Isis had left the room, Atemu quickly dressed in his now dried clothes. He then hurried out the door where he bumped into Seto and fell to the deck with a thud.
"What are you doing?" Seto demanded as he helped Atemu to his feet.
"Isis said I could go out! Ask her!"
"I've already spoken to Isis and know that she told you to keep a blanket around you." Leaving Atemu where he was on the deck, Seto marched inside his cabin and returned a few seconds later with a furred blanket. He then wrapped it around Atemu's shoulders. "You're also supposed to get back inside if you feel a chill coming on."
"We're in the Caribbean. I don't exactly see me getting cold anytime soon."
"If you don't follow the doc's orders then you can stay inside another day."
"I'll be good!" Atemu quickly promised. The last thing he wanted to be stuck inside again. He had waited too long to get out and see the world.
"Good, now come on," Seto commanded and he lead Atemu up to the helm.
Although Atemu had insisted he had wanted to explore the ship, he found himself sticking close to Seto. His side was pressed up against Seto as the two stood in silence side by side while Seto steered the ship. Gradually Seto unconsciously slipped a free arm around Atemu's waste pulling the governor's son closer to him.
Eventually the rumbling of Atemu's stomach interrupted their quiet peacefulness. Hearing the noise Seto napped back to reality and quickly removed his arm from around Atemu.
"Sorry. I guess I should get something to eat," Atemu quietly said silently cursing himself for ruining the moment.
"Yeah you're too light to begin with," Seto agreed. "Head back to bed and I'll get Ryou to bring you some stew."
"Do I have to go back there?" Atemu whined. He liked spending time with Seto and didn't want to leave just yet. "What about you? You need to eat too! Why can't we eat together?"
"Very well," Seto sighed but secretly he was kind of happy at this new development. Handing control of the ship over to Rishid, Seto then sent orders down to Ryou to have food brought up. Finally he led Atemu down the steps and opened the door next to his bedroom.
A massive dinning table was set up in the middle of the room. Papers and maps covered half of the table while the other half was empty so people could eat off it. Around the room were various sized tables and desks, all which were filled with more papers, maps and books.
"Have a seat," Seto told him while sitting down at the head of the table. Quickly Atemu sat down in the seat to his left.
"Are those maps to buried treasure?" Atemu asked in awe.
"Nonsense. Pirates do not bury their treasure. They spend it far to quickly for that. Don't believe the stupid rumors about pirates."
"I'm sorry," Atemu quickly replied. "I know how it is. Everyone always expected me to act a certain way because of who my father is." Atemu threw Seto a bitter smile. "How easily some forget the past."
"What do you mean?"
Atemu was about to answer when Ryou walked into the room carrying a tray of two bowls of stew and a bottle of wine. After placing the food and wine on the table, Seto quickly excused the young cook and then turned his attention back to Atemu while the pair began to eat.
"I was just thinking about the Pharaoh that's all," Atemu murmured as he sipped at his stew. "I find it kind of amusing that someone like Commodore Mahado hates pirates, yet loves sucking up to my father. I would love to see his face if he found out the truth." Atemu bitterly laughed for a few moments before continuing. "And my father! He condemns me for wanting adventure and calls me an embarrassment to the family. I live for the day when everyone he tries impressing, like Anzu's father, finds out who he really is."
"Who is he?" Seto asked sincerely interested. He had known the governor for years yet had never heard anything about Akunumkanon. Not even rumors.
"My father is the Pharaoh," Atemu casually replied as he took a sip of the wine Seto had poured for him. He looked at Seto with amusement when he saw the pirate captain's shocked face.
"Governor Akunumkanon….is the Pharaoh….?"
"Yes," Atemu laughed. "Her married my mother, retired, turned Kemet into a English colony and became its governor."
"You should have told me that before I agreed to help!" Seto angrily yelled surprising Atemu. Standing up Seto slammed his hands against the table. "Whether you want to admit it or not one day Akunumkanon will regret what he said to you! When that happens I'll have the best pirate ever after me wanting the safe return of his son! What if he thinks I kidnapped you!"
"But you're the best now!"
"It's not just that!" Seto argued. "Many lives are under my responsibility! We're turning around right now and I'm taking you home!"
"Please don't!" Atemu begged as he grabbed onto Seto's arm as the pirate captain stormed pass on his way to the door. "You're wrong about Father! He won't come after me! He hates me! Don't take me back!"
"I'm sorry. I can't risk my crew that way. Many of them have family on Draco. I can't risk those lives."
"Please Seto!" Atemu begged again. "I promise if Father does come after me I'll give myself up. I'll tell him you knew nothing including that I was his son!"
"Okay fine!" Seto replied with a small sigh wondering why he always gave in so easily to Atemu. "Finish your food then get some rest. When the governor shows up I don't want him to find his son sick. Use that time to think of how to act like something besides a spoiled brat!"
Without being given a chance to protest Seto was gone from the room. Atemu finished his meal in silence before heading back to Seto's bedchambers through the adjuring door that connected the two rooms. Flopping down on his stomach, Atemu buried his face into his pillow as tears began falling down his face.
Seto paced the bow of the ship not caring that the rest of the crew could see him. Seto was too busy concerned with what he had gotten himself into. First against his better judgment he had helped a governor's son run away from home possibly jeopardizing his own future with said governor. Then he had found himself falling for the kid. Seto knew it was true. Never since the pirate attack that had separated Mokuba and himself had he been as scared when he found Atemu soaking we and freezing the night before. He had to admit it was nice having someone to take care of again.
"Will you just screw him already!" Bakura's voice rang out. Seto halted his pacing and glared at his first mate.
"I'm not attracted to him!"
"Sure you aren't."
"Shut up or you'll be food for the sharks!" Seto threatened getting right up into Bakura's face.
"Man you're so full of sexual tension it's not even funny," Bakura said as he turned away putting some distance between himself and Seto. "What's you're problem anyway? He has a powerful daddy. So what? The kid obviously does not want to go home and even if he eventually does leave it's not like he'll squeal unless you do something stupid like break his heart."
"Governor Akunumkanon is the Pharaoh!" Seto hissed but Bakura remained unimpressed.
"I repeat, so what?"
"So what? Do you really think the Pharaoh is going to sit by and let his son leave?"
"You're going by his reputation, something you hate people doing to you. You've met Akunumkanon. Doesn't he seem like a sensible man?"
"You wouldn't think so if you heard how Atemu talk about him."
"It's normal for kids to resent their parents. Especially when they are growing up and want to live their own life."
"That is true," Seto mused thinking back to life with his own adopted father before he died. Seto had always assumed that his resentment was because Gozaburo was not his birth father and treated him like crap. Seto knew nothing of his birth parents who both died when he was extremely young.
"Let the kid deal with his father if it comes to that," Bakura advised. "Until then enjoy yourselves."
Seto still looked doubtful but he turned around anyway and walked towards his cabin.
Atemu was still laid sprawled on his stomach on Seto's bed. His face was still buried in the pillow as he softly cried.
Atemu didn't know what everyone problem was with him. All he wanted was his father's love but Akunumkanon hated him. Then he had wanted to be with Seto but now the pirate captain was made at him solely because who his father was. Atemu couldn't figure out what he did to make people dislike him so much.
"Kid?" Seto's smooth sexy voice gently said as the door creaked opened.
"Yeah?" Atemu sniffed as he rolled over, sat up and wiped at his tears. He didn't want the pirate captain to know he had been crying. Unfortunately id didn't work.
"Are you crying?" Atemu had expected scoff harshness but instead there was sadness to Seto's voice.
"No," Atemu quickly replied as Seto strolled over to the bed and sat down next to him. With a gentle hand Seto brushed away Atemu's blond bangs that were dangling in his eyes. Using his thumb Seto wiped away a stray tear that was falling down Atemu's cheek.
"Yes you are."
"So what?" Atemu shot back. He was fed up with everything as his thoughts now fueled his anger. For his entire life his father treated him as a child and now Seto was doing the same thing. "Are you going to call me a child now? How about ordering me around some more?"
"I'm sorry." That surprised Atemu. "I shouldn't have yelled at you. I shouldn't have called you a spoiled brat." Atemu remained quiet as Seto continued to talk. "You took me by surprise by telling me about your father and I truly am sorry about hurting you." As Seto talked he unconsciously leaned forward. Very gently Seto's lips brushed against Atemu's.
Realizing what he had done, Seto quickly pulled back. "And I'm sorry for doing that." Seto made a move to stand up and leave but he was stopped by Atemu grabbing his arm.
Through his tear streaked eyes Atemu stared at Seto. The kiss had surprised him but he had liked it, although it had been far too quick. For a brief moment Atemu had felt loved. It was a feeling he had not felt in a long time. He liked it and wanted more. "Don't be sorry."
Leaning forward Atemu quickly placed his lips against Seto's before the pirate captain could hurry off. Unsure of what to do Atemu allowed Seto take control.
Atemu felt Seto press hard back against Atemu's lips. The spiky haired youth gasped feeling Seto's tongue lick against his lips. That had caught him off guard. The gasp had also caused his mouth to open far enough for Seto to stick his tongue inside Atemu's mouth.
Atemu moaned and felt himself melt as Seto's tongue explored his hot mouth. Atemu wrapped his arms around Seto's neck needing more contact with the pirate captain. The tri-haired youth slid his own tongue against Seto's rubbing the two of them together. All too soon however Seto suddenly broke the kiss.
"Are you sure you want this?" he asked while gently stroking Atemu's cheek.
"Yes."
"Okay."
Seto slid his hands down the front of Atemu's shirt and undid the ties that held the front of his shirt together exposing his tanned chest. The burnet's fingers lightly danced across the smooth chest, his thumbs rubbing against the exposed area causing Atemu to happily purr. Moving his hands up to Atemu's shoulders, Seto slid the silk shirt off of him while attaching his mouth to the bronze collarbone.
Atemu's heart raced as Seto began kissing his way down the tanned chest, stopping when he reached the edge of Atemu's pants. Using his teeth, Seto tugged at the knot that held Atemu's pants together. As the drawstring fell open, the leather pants easily fell off of Atemu's hip.
"Seto?"
"Shhh…it's okay," the pirate captain whispered before giving the length of Atemu's cock a long leisurely lick. While Seto's head bobbed as his talented mouth engulfed the erection, his hands slid down to Atemu's hips to help him lay down on his back.
Giving the tip of the cock one last kiss, Seto began moving his mouth downward again while sliding down Atemu's plants in the process. Seto stopped at Atemu's inner thighs and nibbled at the flesh, running his tongue over the bite marks he made.
Trailing his kisses further, Seto tugged off Atemu's boots and then pulled his pants off all the way leaving the spiky haired youth completely naked on the bed. Atemu blushed as Seto crawled his way back up the smaller tanned body. Seto had seen him naked before but now it seemed a lot more different then before.
"Don't be bashful," Seto whispered as he captured Atemu's lips in a quick kiss. "You're very beautiful."
"Really?"
"Yes, I thought so the moment I caught a glimpse of you at your father's place when you were spying on us."
"Then why are you always so mean to me? Why do you always call me Kid?"
"Because it always infuriated me that you would never be mine," Seto murmured as he paused to kiss Atemu's neck before continuing. "Bakura finally knocked some sense into me and told me stop worrying so much."
"He deserves a raise then."
"Don't you dare put that idea in his head," Seto playful growled before placing a kiss to Atemu's forehead.
"I wouldn't dream of it."
Seto smiled down at Atemu before climbing off him and standing up. Atemu was left wondering what was going on but he soon got the idea as Seto first removed his jacket and then began undoing the ties for his shirt. Atemu bit his lip to hold back a groan as the garment fell away from Seto's body revealing his sculpted chest that had been tanned long ago by spending so much time in the sun. Seto's boots and pants were the next thing to go leaving only a golden locket on a chain around his neck. As he walked over to his dresser, Seto removed the chain and placed it down. He then picked up a small bottle and return to the bed.
Although he had seen Seto naked before, Atemu was never given the opportunity to properly study his body. The pirate captain was incredible looking with his firm and fit body.
Running on instinct, Atemu spread open his legs allowing Seto to sit back down in between them. Uncorking the bottle in his hand, Seto dipped two fingers inside coating them with the liquid in it. Pulling out his fingers and setting the bottle on the bedside table, Seto then locked eyes with Atemu and gave him a concerned look.
"This is going to hurt," Seto warned him. "But it will feel really good after awhile. And I'm going to be as gentle as possible. I promise."
"Okay."
Keeping his eyes locked on Atemu's crimson ones, Seto placed one of his fingers against Atemu's opening and began pressing it inside. Keeping his hand as steady as possible, Seto slowly eased it inside of Atemu's tight hole. When he got in so far he paused giving Atemu time to adjust.
Atemu gasped from the intrusion. It felt both slightly painful and uncomfortable having Seto's digit inside of him but at the same time there was something else that Atemu couldn't explain.
"Are you still all right?" Seto asked upon seeing the flicker of pain going across Atemu's face. Quickly Atemu nodded his head not wanting Seto to stop. He needed this.
Seto waited a few more moments before finally began thrusting his finger in and out of Atemu's hole. Keeping his eyes on Atemu's face, Seto watched with concern as he flinched each time the finger re-entered his body. Gradually though the flinching decreased so Seto added a second finger.
"It hurts!"
"Try not to think to about it," Seto advised as he scissor his fingers inside of Atemu's body stretching him. Bending over Atemu's bronze body, Seto began nipping and kissing his ear. "Look at me. Concentrate on me."
Atemu took a deep breath and buried his face into the side of Seto's neck inhaling his scent. Even still he whimpered as he tried to ignore the pain.
"Relax," Seto murmured again and Atemu gasped and clenched Seto's arms when the digits brushed past a pleasurable spot. "There you go."
Atemu was moaning now as Seto hit the spot over and over again. "Seto!" he cried out with a gasp. "I need…I need…" Atemu was unsure of what he was trying to ask. "…More!"
Fortunately for Atemu, Seto knew what the youth meant. Picking up the bottle again, Seto dumped its contents over his cock and spread it so that his entire erection was slick. Positioning himself at the entrance to Atemu's hole, Seto gave him an apologizing look as he pushed inside.
Atemu cried out in pain and tears began escaping from his eyes as Seto slowly thrust his way inside. "Do you want me so stop?" Seto's gentle but commanding voice came through to Atemu and the spiky haired one violently shook his head. Completely inside of Atemu now, Seto paused his actions anyway giving Atemu time to adjust to the intrusion.
Seto kissed at Atemu's neck and shoulder as he calmed down and became use to the feeling. Atemu's body shuddered with excitement as he realized their bodies were now connected. As the pain began to lessen Atemu shifted his hips, silently telling Seto to start moving again.
Atemu gasped at the feeling as Seto pulled out only to thrust back inside. Pleasurable electric shocks ran throughout his body while Seto continued to pound into him. He began whimpering as Seto kept hitting that pleasurable spot over and over again.
"Seto…" Atemu moaned as he buried his fingers into Seto's brown hair and brought their heads together for a kiss. Trapped between their bodies, his cock was becoming so hard it was beginning to become unbearable.
"It's okay Kid," Seto whispered into his ear, never breaking his stride. "Come. I know you have to." Seto then gently bit into Atemu's neck. Gasping one more time, Atemu's cum shot out spattering both of their chests.
With one final thrust, Seto soon followed Atemu with his own release. He then pulled out and rolled both of them over so that he was now laying on his back and Atemu was resting on top of him.
"Are you okay?" Seto asked while running a hand through Atemu's spiky locks.
"Yes," Atemu sleepily murmured with a smile on his face as he buried his face into the side of Seto's neck, inhaling his scent.
"Good," Seto replied only to discover that Atemu was already asleep. Closing his eyes Seto soon followed Atemu into slumberland.
