Chapter 2

When he could no longer bear the merriment above deck, Captain Jesse Greengage went in search of Will Turner's cabin. He smiled. The sea at night was a glorious thing, the lanterns shining across the shining deck. His thoughts returned to Will Turner. He wondered if he had taken Jack's cabin. Greengage sighed…It was what he himself would have done, but he remembered that cabin intimately and he hope Will had not taken up residence there. His resolve was already unraveling with his anger at all the duplicity on this ship. His men had gleaned some of the truth from various sources in the crew, old friends, relatives and such…But not enough. Greengage wanted to know everything. So he took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the Captain's cabin, hoping against hope that Will wouldn't be inside, but knowing somewhere inside that he would be.

The door unlatched and swung inward, Will's eyes empty as he simply turned away and went back to his seat.

"I knew you would come soon." He plopped down in his seat, sitting in it properly, back straight, eyes on the other Captain. Jack used to sit in that chair, thought Greengage solemnly. But always with his legs splayed over the side, his hair hanging over the other side. And, Greengage thought, cracking a small smile, usually with a large mug of rum in one hand, the other gesticulating wildly. "What are you smiling at?"

"Remembering." He looked around the room and found that Will hadn't changed a thing, except to hang all of his clothing next to Jack's in the Captain's closet. "He is a glorious man, is he not?" He glanced at Will again, venturing further into the cabin.

"What does that mean?" asked Will defensively.

"Nothing, just this. Don't underestimate his ability to feel." Will looked at him, confused but unwilling to show it. "Tell me the truth, Will. There is something between Miss Swann and yourself, am I correct in guessing?" Will jumped at the name, alert and eyes wide. "My crew has been snooping. I am angry, but I will not withdraw my friendship from you unless you have hurt me in some way."

"Elizabeth Swann and I met Jack-"

"Yes, I know. A Mr. James Norrington has been spreading the tale. What he fails to mention is the emotional tie between you and Miss Swann."

"And Jack, as well," Will whispered bitterly. "She is in love with both of us. You know she was not a scullery wench as she said." Jesse nodded, remaining silent as he sat on Jack's bed, almost shuddering with the remembered nights in this bed. He lay back against the headboard and pulled his legs up, crossing them lazily. "She and I have gone on a couple of voyages with Jack, and she has gained feelings for him. We were betrothed before that, and I never knew this…And when the Kraken came, which I assume she told you about," he asked. The other Captain nodded. "When it came, we abandoned ship. Jack was to come with us. I wouldn't let him go down with the Pearl. Can you understand that? I couldn't!" He stood and paced the room, his story reaching Greengage's ears, but Will was plainly rationalizing the whole tale to himself. "But she took the choice out of my hands, out of everyone's hands. She trapped him, left him." His wild eyes flew back to the tall man in Jack's bed. "She kissed him to distract, then she chained him to the mast and came overboard like nothing had happened. I saw the kiss, but looked away and missed the rest."

Greengage's eyes flashed with fury and he stood, he and Will suddenly joined in their fury at Elizabeth Swann.

"She's the reason he's at World's End?" He clenched his fist at his side as his other hand flew to the hilt of his sword. "You shanghaied her? That's why she was floating at sea?" Will nodded. "And I rescued her. For that I am sorry, Captain Turner." Greengage shook his head and went to Will, laying a hand on his shoulder. Will looked up at him curiously.

"Why are you so furious? It can't just be because of her mutiny. A Captain would normally just kill her and not think twice, but you….You want what I want. You want her to suffer…" Will whispered. "Why?"

"I am about to be completely and utterly honest with you, Will. Because for the last ten years, I have been in love with Captain Jack Sparrow." Will gaped and fell back into the chair, silenced. "It seems this is the night for long explanations." He sighed and sat on the bed again. "Jack and I met in Tortuga fifteen years ago. We were really just boys then, but dreamed of the sea, and that's what drew us together. Jack was fifteen, and I was twelve. For three years, he stayed in Tortuga and tried to make a living. Tried, and failed. I found out later that he stayed until I was ready to leave with him. He thought I would never be, or that I wouldn't want to go when he thought I was. But I would follow Jack Sparrow anywhere." His anger fell away and he smiled at memories. "Jack was finally ready to leave, and he left. Never said goodbye. I was fifteen, he was eighteen. I joined a crew as cabin boy and sailed the sea, hoping for a glimpse of my Jack." He smiled. "I didn't see him for two years later, when he tried to steal the ship I worked on. He was twenty, and was the dashing devil you know today, except his hair was long and luxuriant, chestnut brown in a braid down his back. He tried to take on the entire ship alone." Will laughed and Jesse started, having almost forgotten Will was there. Will was the happiest he had ever been. This man's presence was strangely comforting, and he was learning more about Jack…

"I'm sorry, don't let me interrupt." Will sighed, motioning for Jesse to continue. "It just sounds like him."

"Yes, it does, doesn't it? He's always been dreadfully impulsive, if sometimes a little much so." Jesse. "But he was at wit's end. He had fallen in with Davey Jones, and cheated the Captain out of serving, and taken his little holiday eight years early…" Jesse smirked. "But he saw me, and he called parley. It was like old times again, having him on that ship. Eventually, he gained the love of the crew, and called for a mutiny against the old captain, and so here we have most of the same crew." He waved his arm, indicating the crew aboard ship that had been temporarily divested of their home and Captain. "They love him, and they love you, apparently. They would never serve you unless they thought Jack cared for you as well."

"You're telling me, that all these men know you?"

"Yes. I was Jack's faithful cabin boy for the next eight years, although I was really too old to be considered such. Anyway, then came his mad fixation with the Pearl. I told him I loved him and that I refused to see him on this mad errand. He shanghaied me off the coast of some island and I haven't seen him or any of these men since."

"What? Why? What happened to you then?" Will was on the edge of his seat, like a boy hearing stories at bedtime.

"I started hallucinating. In these hallucinations I learned of Jack's true feelings. He loved me as well, but he loved adventure too, and he didn't think I'd be happy watching him defy death." He sighed. "But I would've been. I would have done it with him." Will nodded his understanding. "So, I prayed to whatever God there is up there for an answer. Suddenly, a ring washed up on the shore. This ring." He held it up for Will to see. It was made of a silver band, curved around, and in the space where any sensible blacksmith would have joined the ends was a single, perfect saltwater pearl. The metal was as smooth as the pearl itself. "I put it on and it fit perfectly, and it reminded me of Jack with all his rings…" He smiled and looked down at it, twisting it around his finger. "I'm not as hard as I should be for a Captain. I'm hard enough when I have to be I suppose…but the ship takes care of itself…" He smiled. "Jack got his magic ship, I've heard, and I got mine. One that's enabled me to find you, and through you, find Jack again."

"Why are you being so honest with me?" Will asked. He was curious about the ship, but he stilled his questions. Jesse might or might not want to disclose its mythos. "And what about Jack's father. You don't seem to like him very much."

"Jack will tell you one day, maybe. I think he would tell you anything if you but asked, Master Turner. And as to why I'm being so honest, there are two reasons." Will nodded.

"And they are?"

"Because you love Jack. Don't deny it." He saw Will rise to protest. "I can see it in your eyes, even as you prepare to deny it. You may not want to, but it matters little because it has happened." He stood now, and came closer to Will, his breath hot on the other man's face as the tall Captain leaned down. "And I am willing to share him with you, if he loves you as well." He laid his lips against Will's and was surprised when Turner kissed back.

"Even without Jack involved, you're an attractive man, Captain Turner…And simply put, I want to bed you." He straddled Will, throwing aside his Captain's demeanor. "Excuse me if I'm a little wanton, but it's been a while since I've had a man. I haven't desired anyone since Jack…"

"So you want to bed me?" Will sucked in air. "I've never been with a man before…I guess it would be prudent to learn the basics from you, Captain Greengage…But this is happening rather suddenly. I only met you today…" He moaned as Greengage bit his lip.

"Understood. I'll be on my ship if you change your mind tonight. If not, then my crew will depart with yours whenever you prepare to go, and we will get to know each other."

"Wait, I don't know if we have rations enough for an entire second crew…and what of your ship? I should think it was quite important to you."

"My crew consists of five, or four as I no longer consider Miss Swann a member of my crew. And you needn't worry about my confronting her. I will not, although it will take every ounce of my control." Will nodded, unable to speak, his desire for 'Lizzie's prolonged suffering returning. "We will just maintain that I know nothing. As for Poseidon's Blessing, I told you, the ship takes care of itself. One day, I shall take you for a sail." He chuckled, and exited the room, rearranging his slightly rumpled clothing, his masculine laughter trailing behind him.

"A crew of four…to steer a full-sized ship?" Will wondered aloud. What kind of magic was involved with that ship? And why was Captain Teague not happy to see an old friend's of Jack's? He had to see the Captain…Three Captains on one ship, and soon to be four…This was going to be highly interesting. He straightened his own clothes and left the room, to search out Captain Teague.
