4. Worth It
Gil just couldn't help himself sometimes. There was a good chance that it would be the death of him. But more often than not, it was worth it. For as much as Harry and Uma loathed his antics, Gil enjoyed them. He would get Uma here and there, usually it was unintentional; however, it was Harry who received the brunt of the blond's mischief.
Uma and Harry had to admit, out loud or not, that the final third of their trio was very good at it.
If there was any one instance of Gil's personal mischief a stood out the most for Harry it was on one particular morning when they were fourteen. Though he had his suspicions, he didn't discover the culprit until two years later, while the trio was hanging around the chip shop making fun of Auradon and reminiscing. Gil chose that moment to confess in his own special way. Blurting it out.
Gil stuffed some clam strips into his mouth, grinning at the junior Hook.
"What're ye grinnin' fer?" Harry hissed.
"Remember when you fell asleep in the Jolly Roger's galley and woke up with no eyebrows?" He swallowed his food, his grin turning into a broad smile.
Harry's eyes widened in shock momentarily, the narrowed. He knew it had been Gil, but he could never prove it. And punishing Gil for the "crime" without proof that he was the culprit went against the pirate code (villains or not). But now….
"Gil…" Harry seethed.
The blond swallowed his second helping of clam strips, and grinned. Then bolted out the door, jumping off tables and chairs along the way, with Harry Hook hot on his heels, shouting,
"Get back 'ere, ye sea biscuit!"

Oh, Gil. You little rascal, you.
This is the extent of my "normal" sense of humor.
I can get pretty bizarre.
You have been warned.
