A few days later...
T skids to a halt, his stomach slamming into a table as he lets out a grunt, and looks around the Chip Shop, chest heaving with exertion.
"T?" Gil frowns as he looks up from his plate of eggs.
"Sup. Where's boss lady?"
"Captains in back." Harry offers as he starts washing the table, obviously looking for an excuse to join the conversation.
"Right. You two get ready to head out." He quickly explains before he races towards the door.
"Yeah right." Harry rolls his eyes before he steals one of the white hard boiled eggs off of Gil's plate and pops it in his mouth.
Gil frowns as he notes the way T bounces impatiently by the door, not even caring about what was on his plate. "Since when does T look for the captain here, or call her boss lady?" He stands up.
"It be ah weird few weeks mate." Harry firmly puts a hand on Gil's shoulder and guides him back into his seat, "I would'nah be lookin' to hard at it."
When Uma walks out with a tray of food, T snatches it from her. "I got it."
"T." Uma snaps, "Give it back."
"No." T states with a grin. "I've got the shop tonight." He holds out a piece of fabric.
"Not by yourself ya don't." Uma grumbles as she reaches for the tray.
"I can clean and serve for one night, Uma. I'm here enough to know what the regulars order and just- Stop arguing and go please." He states as he walks away after shoving the map at her.
Uma stomps her foot before she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, "T…" She opens her eyes and looks down at the map, "What the fuck is this?"
"X marks the treasure right?" T blinks, as he drops off the food to the three regulars at the table, after glancing at the tray.
"Why are you sending me on a damn treasure hunt?" Uma huffs, glaring at T as he perfectly serves tables while also arguing with her.
"Why do you think?" T rolls his eyes.
"Because we're pirates?"
"Duh. Go." T heads back to her.
"Ya did'nah be ah sayin' treasure, did ya?" Harry asks as he and Gil make their way to Uma's side.
"The best kind too." T states absently. "If you fucking leave now, you can even spend more time with it."
Gil and Harry turn to Uma with big eyes and pouts on their lips.
Uma's eyes brighten as she stares at T, "You fucking serious?"
"Why are you still fucking here?" T glowers at them. "I can handle the shop for one night. I've seen you close it enough."
Uma shrugs, and apparently the motion was enough to send Harry and Gil into whoops of excitement.
"SHUT UP!"
Uma grimaces as T dodges a pan.
"See I can even dodge." He flicks his wrist in an absent wave. "I'll be fine."
"Please Uma?" Gil takes her by the hand and gently tugs.
"Yeah Uma, I be wantin' ta know what there be at the X." Harry grins.
Uma bites her lip as she studies T one last time. "So do I."
"Get. Out. And. Just. Fix. It. Please." T rubs his temples, "I've fuckin' done my damn part."
Uma furrows her brow, but doesn't need to be told again, as she pulls off her apron and hands it to T.
"See you tomorrow." T waves a hand over his back, as he walks away from them tying the apron around his waist before he walks over to a table.
Uma sighs as she and her boys walk out into the pitch black night. If there was a moon tonight, it didn't have the energy to break through the barrier. "What the hell bit that kid?"
"He's not usually so…" Gil frowns, "bossy?"
"I dun'nah be knowin' 'bout the two o' you, but I be ah findin' it hot." Harry chirps happily as he walks beside Uma.
Uma snorts, "You would have too. I'm pretty damn bossy myself."
"Aye, ya be ah gettin' me there cap'in." Harry grins wickedly, "I do be ah favorin' the bossy type."
Gil frowns as they continue to jog down the docks, "I wonder what T want's us to fix though..."
For the people who take the time to review us, sorry for the chapter dumps! We're just so amped for the movie to drop we wanted to get as much out as we could, and figured a good binge is better than waiting for one of us to respond to the reviews as it stands Dark and I both work hella long today so we doubted we'd be able to do what we agreed upon and this way benefitted every one but FC and Dobby, who we absolutely adore for posting on every single chapter. That shows a lot of dedication and we really appreciate how committed you are to both this story and feeding the writers. But wanted to take this time to say if you don't have the time to comment on everything we don't blame you at all. It's a lot to respond too at once. Hopefully you two read through the updates first and I'm not a douche for posting this now. As for our other readers, you guys rock too. We really appreciate your continued support, this story is quite the commitment. Thanks so much to our other reviewers too, hopefully you all enjoy the binging!
Much love and appreciation
