You Were Meant For Me

Author: williz

Summary: Will/Elizabeth focus- It's just Will and Elizabeth in a big adventure in which they meet many times. OK…I'm bad at summaries. But my story is going to be really fun. I swear! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Johnny Depp (or Jack Sparrow), Orlando Bloom (Will Turner), Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swann), the commodore, the governor, and the rest of those guys in this that you recognize from the movie. Disney owns the movie, not me.

A tall, dark man walked out of his cabin. His long, red overcoat billowed past his knees as he stomped loudly onto the deck of his ship. A scar graced his stoic face. The man withdrew his sword and held it to his mate's throat.

"Where be the medallion, Jansen?" He growled. Jansen gulped, audibly, and stammered, "Uh...Cap'n…we…don't 'ave it, sir." Barley put his sword away again and angrily shoved his first mate to the deck.

"It was a Turner, Captain…" Barley heard behind him. He stopped and turned to the voice. "What was that?" He asked with narrowed eyes.

"A Turner." Lambry stepped out of the lame crowd of pirates. "It was Jack Sparrow and Turner." The captain's eyes shifted to Lambry. "Sparrow, eh? And Bootstrap? I thought 'e was dead."

"His son, sir….I think it was 'is son," Lambry corrected.

"Looked just like Bill, 'e did!" Another pirate piped up. "Ah, so he had a son. And Sparrow… I'd almost forgotten about that idiotic excuse for a pirate. What were they doin' there!" He grabbed Lambry's collar and brought him close.

"Don't rightly know, Cap'n…but they're gone now." Captain Barley let him go and stormed up to the helm.

"Set sail! We're catchin' us a bird!"

What Captain Barley hadn't known was Jack and Will were still fighting to get to a boat. "Will, 'ow ya doin' over there!" Jack yelled as he ran through a group of civilians.

Will sprinted through right behind him, huffing and puffing, due to the burden of Elizabeth draped over his shoulder. She had long since stopped fighting, much to the relief of the young man. "Never been…" Will kicked a burning barrel over as he paused. "…better!" He grunted.

Jack suddenly stopped. "She's back! They brought her back to me! AHA!" He screamed with joy. Will stopped and put Elizabeth down. She smoothed her skirts, begrudgingly, and said, "Thankyou."

She gasped suddenly though when she noticed the ship with black sails looming in the distance near the shore. "Let's go! Quickly!" Will said as he grasped her hand, running towards the ship.

He spun as Elizabeth's hand was ripped from his, seeing a pirate taking her captive. He was about to attack when Elizabeth jammed her elbow into the rogues stomach. He grunted again as she turned and leveled him with her fist angrily.

The governor's daughter straightened herself and strutted passed a stunned Will, smirking at him.

"What a woman!" He murmured as he followed, quickly.

"Told ye we'd be back!" Jack said as he stepped onto the deck of the Black Pearl. "Yeah, but ye didn't exactly say it would be a whole BLOODY month, either, Captain," Ana Maria smirked.

"aye, but it wasn't my fault, was it Will?" Jack eyed his mate, teasingly, as the younger pirate climbed over the side. "I had good reason!" He defended, as he reached over and pulled Elizabeth up to stand on deck next to him.

"Is that his reason?" A tall pirate asked. Will nodded. Elizabeth looked around, wide-eyed, at the unfamiliar pirate crew. "Good reason," the pirate concluded.

Jack and Will shared a knowing look and Will led Elizabeth down to his cabin. "What's going to happen, Will?" the governor's daughter asked as he opened the wooden door and led her through. "We're putting that medallion back where it belongs," Will said, looking pointedly at the chain around her neck.

"My medallion! Well, you can't…it belongs to me!" She said, grasping it beneath the dress. "If you remember correctly, Miss Swann…it belongs to me," Will said, teasingly.

Elizabeth moved to sit down, but paused when she realized her lack of manners. "May I?" she asked, gesturing to a chair in Will's cabin. "Oh, yes! Of course!" He answered, silently berating himself for not offering before. He felt worse when he noticed how tiredly she plopped down in the chair.

"You must be tired. You should sleep. You'll feel much better afterwards," Will said, solicitously. Elizabeth just smiled up at him softly and said, "We should take care of you, first."

She stood and crossed to him, inspecting his bleeding lip and bruised face. "Come," she said, gently taking his hand and guiding him to the chair. He sat as she looked for a cloth. Conveniently, there was one on the cupboard, as well as a small bowl.

"It's in the corner," Will said, watching as she searched for some alcohol to clean his wounds. She turned and smirked before going to the bottle of alcohol and pouring it in the bowl. "There we are," she said as she walked back to him and kneeled, putting the bowl on the floor.

Will stood and went to his bed. At Elizabeth's confused look, he stated, "It is easier for you here, I think." She let out a small smile and walked with the bowl and cloth back to Will.

She dipped a corner of the cloth into the alcohol and started cleaning his face. At his wince, she chuckled, "Brave pirate, William Turner flinches at a bit of alcohol?" He grinned, but winced when a pain seized his face. So he shifted the smiled more to one side.

While cleaning his face, Elizabeth started thinking. Noticing her look, the young man took her hand and looked at her. "What's on your mind, Elizabeth?"

She looked into his deep eyes and asked, sincerely, "Why didn't you tell me who you were?" Embarrassed slightly, she brought the cloth back to his face. Will brought his hand back to hers and looked at her. "I—I don't really know," he answered, looking away. "Tell me the truth," Elizabeth said, exasperated. Then she added, quickly, "Shirt off."

Will's head shot back to look at her, his eyes wide. "Wha—Wha—What?" He asked. She rolled her eyes. "Don't think I hadn't noticed you wincing every time I touched your arm. Let me see. Take your shirt off." Will shut his mouth and started unbuttoning his shirt. When he shrugged it off with a dull soreness in his features, Elizabeth's gaze traveled down towards his now bare abdomen and chest. Her breath caught in her throat.

How could he have grown into a man who was more than she ever had imagined. She had spent almost full nights pondering over what he could have grown up to look like. If he was even more handsome than she had known him to be. If he still lived in Tortuga. If he'd met someone and started a family already. If he'd forgotten her. But as she looked at him before her, she knew one thing for sure. She'd never forget about him. Elizabeth's eyes started glazing over as she stared at his muscles, but then she shook out of her thoughts, blushing.

"Th-Thankyou," she stuttered. A large bruise showed on his abdomen and Elizabeth noticed a large scar on his upper chest. "How did you get that?" She asked, barely running her fingers over it.

"When I was eighteen years of age, a captain of the French navy overran the Pearl. When I fought beside my fellow crewmates, a man from the French ship attacked me from behind. I swerved around to block it, succeeding in doing so, but he brought a dagger out from his belt and brought it straight across me," he concluded, bringing his finger to his scar to trace it. Elizabeth looked up at him and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"S'Alright. No fault of anyone's but mine." He smiled at her softly. Elizabeth smiled back and scooted a bit closer. Will slowly lowered his face to hers as she became lost in his deep gaze. She slowly brought a hand up to the back of his head and pulled him down to meet him in a gentle and sweet kiss.

The kiss was tender and slow, neither of them wanting it to end. Finally, after several long moments, Elizabeth brought her hand down to his abs and brushed it over his muscles as they twitched painfully.

Will withdrew quickly with a wince as he let out a soft hiss. Elizabeth, still feeling the emotions of the kiss, looked at his apologetically. "I'm so sorry, Will…I forgot. I'm sorry," she murmured, looking concerned.

"I'm not," Will grinned. Elizabeth grinned back and threw her arms around him in a hug. "I missed you so!" She said, her voice muffled as she buried her face in his neck. He wrapped his bare arms around the girl and squeezed her affectionately. "It was so hard for me not to go to you the first moment I knew who you were. I swear, I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven… and you were my angel." He paused, receiving no answer. "Sounds ridiculous, I know…"

"No! No…it….it doesn't. That was actually the most wonderful thing I've ever heard in my life, William." She broke away from him enough to look up at his face. She lowered her head, quickly, biting her lip shyly.

"Um…how—how are your ribs, now?" She asked, changing the subject. "Better. Thankyou," Will smiled at her shyness. "Six years, Elizabeth… what have you done in these six years?"

"I've missed you."

"And besides that?" He chuckled.

"Besides that….nothing." She sunk against him and turned her head to kiss his shoulder. They each held each other tighter as a comfortable silence broke through. For the second time, Elizabeth actually noticed the rippling muscles of his bare chest and abdomen and the tan hue of his skin overcame her senses. He had the physique of a god. She shook her head, trying to distract her mind.

All of a sudden, everything came back to her at once. And tears sprang to her eyes, as she softly started sobbing. As Will heard this, he pushed her back gently and looked at her now tear-streaked face.

"Why, whatever's the matter Elizabeth?" He asked, softly. She just shook her head and dove back into his arms to cry again. His heart broke at Elizabeth's form-racking sobs. "Let me help you carry that burden you've got on your shoulders. Might lighten the load, hm?" He brought his finger to her chin and tapped it. She smiled and leaned up to kiss his stubbled chin.

"What's going on, Will? Tell me everything. I want to know why you're here. How did you get here? What is it about this medallion that made those pirates attack my home? Everything, Will." Elizabeth unclasped her fingers and let go of him. The moment she did, though, she felt a great loss of warmth and comfort, so she leaned against him, lightly.

Will just heaved a heavy sigh, getting ready to tell her everything. As he opened his mouth to start his story, she quickly stopped him by placing her hand on his bicep. A chill shot through his body at the warm contact of her hand on his arm.

"Wait, I…" She was interrupted by a yawn. "Pardon me," she said when it was gone. Will just chuckled softly. "What's so humorous, Mr. Turner?" She asked, her eyes drooping, slowly.

"I told you that you were tired." Will smiled at her as she leaned more heavily on him. "Please sleep for now. Get your rest, Elizabeth." Will tenderly kissed the top of her head and slowly laid her down on his bed.

"Well, alright. But we have much to…" She yawned. "…discuss. Later," Elizabeth drawled, tiredly. Will lifted her body gently and pulled the covers out from under her. Then he laid them over her, kissing her forehead as he did so. "Sleep well, my love," Will whispered against her skin.

As he stood to grab his shirt, he felt Elizabeth's hand grasp his and hold him back. "Don't leave me here alone," she said, pleading with him.

Elizabeth sat up and pulled him down to her. "Please," she whispered, looking into his eyes. Will just smiled as he pushed her back down. "Alright," he conceded.

Will stood back up and grabbed the chair, bringing it back over, next to the bed.

"No," she said, stopping him. "Here," she gestured to the spot next to her. He just nodded as he draped his shirt over the now forgotten chair. The second Will climbed into bed next to Elizabeth, she crawled next to him and held him tightly, resting her head on his chest. "You're my anchor, William Turner. Don't ever leave me again," Elizabeth whispered.

"Never again," he answered, feeling love radiating from his heart as he watched her sleep.
