''Of course I have a compass, what kind of captain would I be if I didn't have one?'' He took his compass out but the arrow just kept spinning in circle. He sighed, placing it back in his pocket. ''I'll just follow your directions and don't worry, we'll find a better ship and food.'' He took the direction Ciel was pointing and he rowed for a long moment. He took a break after a few hours and widened his eyes when he heard a weird sound. He looked at the mark on his hand, the spot wasn't really dark so it couldn't be the kraken. ''Did you hear that?'' He asked quietly. Now the sound was getting more clear and someone was apparently singing.
The boy nodded. "Hopefully, we will. But land is quite far away." He sat comfortably in the man's lap as they swam farther and farther away. He heard the strange sound and he looked around. "Yeah, I did." He replied and bit his lip, getting a bit scared. He then heard someone singing and he frowned slightly. "Pirates? Maybe they'll let us in their ship?" He asked and turned to the male, wrapping his arms around him protectively. "Just don't let them hurt you. You're the only one that I have right now." He muttered. "But they might be our friends though."
The voice kept getting clearer and it was truely beautiful. ''Don't worry, nothing will happen to us.'' Just as he said that, he felt someone in his back and he turned around slowly. He smiled a bit, seeing the mermaid singing softly. ''Oh my...'' The man couldn't look away from this divine creature and he moved closer, turning around completely. She smiled charmingly, turning around the boat playfully at first before stopping in front of the captain. She moved upwards towards him and he leaned down towards her, feeling the need to be closer.
The voice began luring Ciel in as well, but then, he saw the mermaid. She looked amazing, and he began leaning closer to her before he realized, "Sirens." He immediately shook his head, pulling away. When he turned to Sebastian, he saw the man leaning down to the water, and the siren grinning with her sharp teeth. "Don't touch my man." He narrowed his eyes and pulled the male over to himself, setting his hands over Sebastian's ears. He leaned in and pressed his lips against the man's, kissing him softly. "Sorry, I had to." He whispered as he pulled away.
Sebastian groaned when Ciel pulled him away from her to kiss him instead but he realized what was going on when the boy covered his ears. He turned to the siren when Ciel pulled away as she jumped over the boat to bring him underwater. He pierced her stomach with his sword and she screamed in pain before returning in the water. ''She's probably not alone, let's stop at the nearest land before we get another bad surprise.'' He replied, turning to the boy again. '' Did you say my man love?'' He smirked, raising an eyebrow, sitting back at his place and pulling Ciel to his lap again.
Ciel gasped when he saw the mermaid jump over and he watched as the man stabbed her, seeing some blood left on the sword when he pulled it out. He nodded. "Yeah, let's hurry." He then blushed deeply and looked away, knowing that there is no reason to lie. "I.. I did." He muttered before he buried his face in the crook of Sebastian's neck, embarrassed. He wrapped his arms around the man tightly and closed his eyes. "Why are you calling me love?" He asked quietly before he pulled away and looked up at the male curiously.
Sebastian smiled and rubbed Ciel's back when the boy was hiding his face. ''Well, it was just a nickname at first with no actual meanings but now...'' He leaned down close to Ciel's face and kissed him, this time for a couple of seconds. '' He grinned and placed a finger on his lips. ''Only the sea witnessed this moment.'' He replied playfully, starting to row again. He looked at the horizon, seeing a city and some lights from afar. ''Bingo. We'll find you a hat in this town, probably a ship as well. But requisitioning a ship can be quite difficult, especially if it's just you and me.''
The boy's cheeks turned red again and he kissed Sebastian back. He nodded, looking away from the man. He cuddled closer to Sebastian and closed his eyes. "The only thing you care about is me having a hat." He chuckled. "We will get a ship somehow. We probably need to find a crew first though." He mumbled, his fingers playing with the collar of the male's shirt. "And we need water and rum, I'm thirsty already. Food, too." He pulled away slightly and kissed Sebastian's cheek. "I'm sleepy.. Can I sleep until we'll arrive at the land?"
''You'll learn that hats are a very important part of our uniforms.'' Sebastian chuckled, resting his head against the boy's for a moment. ''Of course you can. We wont go back immediately, finding a crew will take some time.'' He rowed for a few more minutes before landing. His arms hurt a little since he wasn't used to navigate like that anymore. ''Wake up darling, let's go at the tavern to eat something.'' He helped Ciel to get out of the boat and walked with him until they arrived. He pulled Ciel to the side when a man was thrown in his direction. ''This is not quite an environment for you, let's make this quick, aye?'' He went to a table and sat down, asking for something to eat. He stopped the waitress as she was about to leave. '' If men are interest in joining a crew, send them to my table.'' She nodded with a smile and walked away.
Ciel fell asleep just as soon as the man let him. He woke up when he heard Sebastian talk and he opened his eyes, yawning softly. He followed the male, holding his hand tightly. "Mhmm. I don't like it here." He muttered and sat down next to Sebastian, looking around. There were a lot of people in the tavern and most of them scared him. He immediately moved closer to the man and took his hand once again, feeling safer immediately. He looked up at Sebastian as the waitress walked away and he smiled slightly. "But what about our old crew? Are we never going to see them again?" He asked and frowned a bit.
Sebastian squeezed Ciel's hand gently, smiling. ''Maybe I'll see them again, maybe I wont. I still have to do what I can to find them right?'' Their food and drinks arrived and he started eating calmly. ''Sebastian Michaelis...it's been a long time.'' The man looked up at the woman and before he could realize what was happening, he got slapped in the face. He frowned, not remembering who she was and looked up again, seeing another one coming. ''Who is she?'' The women asked irritated. ''What?'' He received another slap and massaged his cheek.
"Yeah.." He nodded and when the food arrived, he began eating. He turned to the woman and widened his eyes when Sebastian got slapped. He frowned and turned the man's face to him, rubbing his cheek gently before pressing a kiss to it. "What happened between you and those women?" Ciel asked curiously before he kissed Sebastian's forehead. "I'm sorry that you got slapped, but I can't say that it wasn't entertaining to watch." He chuckled lightly. He gulped down half of the cup of water in one go, since he was thirsty before continuing to eat.
