Chapter 2
~Antonio's POV~

My heart almost stopped beating, I could feel my skin grow cold, and my breath seemed to catch in my throat, choking me to a point where I could barely breathe. "L…Lovino?" I gasped in shock as I looked at the man on the ground in front of me.
"Sì, stupido pirata," Lovino growled. A chuckle almost escaped my tightly closed lips as I took in Lovino's blood soaked clothes and tousled dark brown hair, but my anger soon skyrocketed when I realized my crew had refrained from cleaning and bandaging my precious angel's wounds. "Hernandez," I said sternly.
"Sí capitán?" Hernandez asked.
"Would you be so kind as to clean and dress Lovino's wounds," I answered.
"Of course, señor," he replied and rushed to Lovino's side to do my bidding.
"And Hernandez," I said.
"Sí capitán?" he asked.
"Be careful," I replied and he nodded. I smiled and then walked over to Basurto, who was standing by the edge of my ship. "Basurto," I said calmly, my voice steady, not betraying my anger.
"Sí capitán?" he asked as he turned to face me.
"I changed my mind," I replied as I pulled my flintlock out of my jacket and pointed it at his head, right in between the eyes.
"Capitán Carriedo, por favor, lo siento," he said, fear in his eyes.
"You will never touch my precious angel again, oh and say hello to god for me and tell him to fuck off," I replied with a smile and pulled the trigger. My smile widened when I heard the satisfying sound of a bullet hitting someone in the head and watched as Basurto tumbled over the edge and into the sea, never to be seen again. I turned around and walked over to Lovino and Hernandez, only to see Lovino praying as well as he could with his hands tied. Once he finished his prayer he looked up, his deep amber eyes full of pity. Those eyes, that feeling they held opened up a part of me that I had tried to suppress, that deep chasm of loneliness that had been with me since Lovino left my side, but I stubbornly pushed the feeling into the back of my mind. "To take a life is a sin in the eyes of Dio," Lovino growled and I laughed.
"Oh mi pequeño tomate, there is no God on this ship," I said with a smile as I knelt down. "Only me, I am God," I replied and he glared at me.
"You fucking ass! How dare you claim to be god, burn in hell you piece of shit!" Lovino shouted angrily and I laughed as I stood up, even after all these years he still had a bad mouth.
"Dormir bien mi pequeño tomate," I stated cheerfully as I turned and entered my cabin. Once I was inside I couldn't control my feelings anymore and all hell broke loose. I flipped my table, sending maps and tools flying, I tore my blankets off my bed, and then I fell to my knees. Blood pounded in my ears as my mind clouded with anger, blocking out all sound and reason. Then I felt hot tears running down my cheeks and laughter bubbled in my throat. I let out a rough laugh that was mixed with a scream and the tears continued to fall. I looked at the ceiling as my laughter died out and the room fell silent once again. With all my anger and laughter gone, emptiness filled my heart, an emptiness that had resulted from years and years alone, a dark void that held no escape. "God is this the hell that you have given me, instead of fire and sulfur you fuck with me, torture me with the only person I ever loved? Is this the price that I must pay for the sins that I have committed and for what? Why must you do this, can't you just take the very heart from my chest?" I said in my native language as I continued to stare at the ceiling. Then I fell forward as my tears continued to cascade down my face, pooling on the floor below me.
Later that night I stood at the bow of my ship, the wind spraying me with cool mist from the sea below, pale moonlight the only thing leading the way as my mind wandered back to a time when things were less complicated, a time of pure joy and happiness. I sighed as another wave splashed against my ship and looked to the full moon above me as memories of Lovino and I replayed in my mind.

"You're so cute mi pequeño tomate," I stated happily and smiled as Lovino glared at me. I had forced him into a multi-colored dress that looked beautiful on him, but sadly he didn't think so. "I will kill you in your sleep, how dare you put me in a dress!" Lovino shouted angrily, but I laughed, which only made him angrier. "What is so funny? Do you think being a guy in a dress is fun? If anyone else sees this I'll be thrown in prison!" Lovino continued to shout, but I silenced him by gently pressing our lips together in a slow, loving kiss.
"Now, now mi pequeño tomate, I would never let anyone hurt you. The only way someone could even put a finger on you is if they were able to get through me and trust me nobody is strong enough to do that," I said and smiled.
"You're a fool Antonio," Lovino replied.
"Perhaps, but you know you love me," I said, my smile never fading. Lovino blushed and then turned away.
"Shut up and kiss me idiota," he replied as he turned to face me.
"Anything for you mi pequeño tomate," I stated and I pulled him into another kiss.

Tears fell from my eyes, staining the dark wood of my ship as the memory faded away. I looked to the sky and marveled at how the stars seemed to make a path for me to follow. 'He believes in you and your words, but does it also give him the right to hurt me so? Is this my destiny or do you destroy me? Is it that you were supposed to excuse me, but you condemn me to this instead? For what God? Why?' I thought and sighed. Was this really my path, my destiny, only time would tell.
