Ahoy you wonderful reviewers! Feels loved! I can't believe I have this many...okay back to it then. Tortuga I see! I've wanted to write a scene...okay enough with the gushing and on with the slash! Okay I've written a bit and it's gotten a wee bit fluffy, jeepers...but not for too long...

Again I do not lay claim to any of them I just borrow them from time to time. No one owns Johnny Depp right? Maybe I should let him out once in a while...

Waking momentarily, Will looked up at the unusually placid pirate, without noticing it a warm smile crept across his slick face. A soft shimmer fell upon Jack's chest, the moon had come out from behind the shady clouds and laid its shine below.

"The moon." Will smiled again, "I can remember a much worse time."

His mind replayed last night's events again in his mind. Jack's soft caress against his bare skin. Sweet utterances under his breath. His avoidance of the one question that bothered him. Why did he keep asking me if I was okay? Will half considered waking him to ask him directly but the screeches from Tortuga were becoming louder and the pounding on the door was certainly no longer a dream.

"Who is it?" Will hissed

Jack began to stir beneath him; not exactly helping Will keep his mind out of the bilge water.

"Ana Maria, we 'ave docked in Tortuga." She left a healthy pause before continuing, "It is not only you who needs the Captain, Will."

Various scenarios played forth in his mind, what if they knew, what if they heard, what if the saw! Oblivious to Will's panic, Jack awoke full of mirth to the alarm ridden face of his lover.

"Will, what's troubling ye?"

"Ana Maria...docking...crew...last night..."

"Coherent as ever me lad." An excited smile leapt across Jacks face at the mention of 'last night'. "Ah ye still remember then?"

Jack then pulled Will down from his apprehensive state to within a hairs breadth of his already heavily breathing face.

"Of course I remember." He replied breathlessly.

Jack's hands were forcefully placed about Will's ears. Enticing his face down onto his, Jack swiftly removed any thought about the crew. His tongue flicked in and out of Will's mouth, images were still playing in his head from the night before, so it wasn't long before Will's hands began to wander.

"Lad, we 'ave to join wiv the crew, I am their Cap'n as well!"

Jack began to disentangle himself from Will, but the younger pirate's stubbornness was truly being executed at this moment.

"Jack, surely they can cope on their own..."

"Will, they await me orders." Jack replied using a little too much force than necessary to release himself from Will's grasp.

Will of course now was looking very indignant by Jack's actions; however he regained a stiff composure and began to dress himself, ignoring any comments from Jack. After pulling his strewn shirt over his head and tied up his crumpled breeches Will stalked out of the cabin, curtly shutting the door after him. After watching Will make his sharp exit, Jack rested on the bed a while longer contemplating what was going to happen in Tortuga.

Will had made it out to the deck meeting the crew and the bawling emitting from the rowdy coastal town. It was well renowned for its constant fights and draw for pirates. Elizabeth was the first to notice the miserable face owned by Will. His slim frame was slightly hunched over, his shoulders bowing inwardly.

"Will, what is the matter?" She enquired.

Bringing about an air of indifference, he was a short with Elizabeth, as Jack was with him. "Nothing." He left it at that as any further words would lead her to find out the truth, it wasn't time just yet.

Jack pulled himself off the bed and began to pick up the pieces of clothing that Will had lovingly liberated him of. He heard his father once again asking him to care for Will, to care for him he would have to see Will be with Elizabeth that was something that he wasn't sure he could do. Well not least for hurting Will, which was one thing he sorely didn't desire to do, ever. He emerged from his cabin fully dressed, back to that nonchalant pirate that most people refer to as Captain.

"Right then me scabberus dogs, on to land and forth to the nearest tavern!" Jack roused the crew.

The crew minus Elizabeth, Will and Jack crawled through the darkness into the vice ridden undergrounds of Tortuga. The moonshine glinted off various fragments of silver that perforated their abused clothes as they seeped further into the evils.

By Jack's measures Elizabeth had been crying, new tracks were flowing freely as she got closer to Will. He was still residing on the vessel, but became increasingly closer to the pier.

"Will?" She cautiously requested, "What ever is the matter?"

Will lingered in his position until Elizabeth addressed him again. Her obviously hurt voice cut through the night air. Jack lurked beneath the shadows of the sails watching their interaction; he could feel the tension surround him.

"Will." Elizabeth again awaited his reply, as she grabbed Will's shoulder; his stature became more erect and forthcoming.

"What?" His response was once again short and unforgiving. Elizabeth knew to the depths of her heart that something was seriously wrong. She wanted to do something to bring him back from his sour state. Although Elizabeth now recognised that only Jack at this moment could do that.

Will had become increasingly cold around her, and tonight when he left their cabin she practically had to force a conversation out of him. This of course was not how she envisioned their life together, from that moment they first kissed Elizabeth imagined then enjoyed a couple of year's absolute bliss, or so she thought. Gradually Will spoke less and less and neither enjoyed their time together as it was oft filled with bickering or silence. Elizabeth tried, oh how she tried, but to no avail, Will was slipping from her.

"What is wrong with you?" Elizabeth questioned in a bitter voice.

"Nothing is wrong with me, why do you keep on. Just desist will you!"

"Aye Will, that is no way to talk to a lass. Not one as bonny as yours." Jack's silky voice slipped through the shadows into the night air as he sauntered towards the fighting pair. "I think we shall join the crew. Will a moment please."

They watched Elizabeth quickly descend into the depths of Tortuga, bringing her hands up to her face.

"Will what are ye doin'?"

"She has to know. Tonight."

F.Y.I. I am writing the next chapter as we speak okay! I had to update, I was feeling so bad about not updating...
