Grovington: Impropriety

"Must we do this?" Will huffed crossing his arms.

"Of course," Elizabeth answered shortly.

"But, why? It's Norrington!" Will complained.

"James is still very dear to me, I cannot abandon him," Elizabeth stated flatly.

"I would hardly call it abadonment," Will argued. Elizabeth glared. "Well it's ridiculous! He's the Commodore and he almost married you!"

"That is exactly why we must do this!" Elizabeth proclaimed.

"I don't follow..." Will responded.

"The proposal was merely a cover, to keep up appearances," Elizabeth rationalized.

"Well, why can't we find him a nice young lady? What makes you so sure he's interested in this 'Groves' man," Will asked.

"He's in the navy," Elizabeth gave him a sardonic look which Will rolled his eyes to. "Besides, have I ever told you what happened with Barbossa's Crew of undead pirates?" Elizabeth asked.

"No, were you harmed?" Will became concerned.

"No, and that's no thanks to James either!" Elizabeth said. Will's face was now a look of bafflement and confusion. "He was too busy tending to that officer, he left me to fend for myself!" She admitted.

"You don't mean..." Will turned pale.

"No! Not that! We wouldn't need to do this if that had happened," Elizabeth explained. Will nodded returning to normal.

"That does seem odd," Will agreed.

"Percisely. Now come on, James is far too shy to do anything himself. We'll have to make him realize where his heart truly lies," Elizabeth said firmly.

With that, they marched off to the Commodore's quarters. By the time they reached his door, they were whispering obnoxiously to one another. In her haste, Elizabeth threw the doors open, not bothering to knock. The sight they encountered was enough to make Will choke and Elizabeth gasp and blush. Norrington was perched over Groves who lay panting on his back upon the desk. Both men were very near complete nudity. They were shocked at the sudden intrusion and scrambled to get dressed. Elizabeth held up her hands as if to stop them as Will was hunched on the doorframe behind her.

"It's alright! We can return sometime else," Elizabeth said quickly.

"Elizabeth-- ahem Miss Swann, I assure you there was no impropriety taking place," Norrington hurriedly responded. Groves stood next to him flustered and attempting to cover himself as Norrington pulled on his clothing rather messily.

"I have no doubts. Good evening gentlemen," Elizabeth nodded courteously, dragging Will out the room and shutting the doors.

"This whole plan was inapropriate!" Will stated clearing his throat, still holding his stomach.

"Oh suck it up." Elizabeth mocked. They piped down to listen in on the next room.

"I thought I told you to lock the door!" Norrington whispered quite loudly.

"Well... who just walks into the Commodore's quarters unannounced without even knocking!" Groves defended himself.

"Do you think they left?" Norrington asked uncertainly.

"Does it matter?" Groves asked on the verge of devesting himself once more.

"I guess not," Norrington shrugged and advanced predatorily.

There was a loud crash and husky name calling soon followed.

"They're at it again!" Will exclaimed trying not to lose his lunch while Elizabeth giggled blushing.

A/N: As you can see, this was longer. Heh, I couldn't help myself.
