Beckoves: New Threat
Beckett sat in his office, calmly looking over paperwork and rearranging his toy soldiers. Lieutenant Theodore Groves was on his mind once more. Groves had proven to be far more precious than he anticipated. He was not only a capable first Lieutenant, but he was also quite dashing. Of course that last part was reserved for private thought only. It wasn't exactly becoming of a Lord to lust after one of his own men. Recently, he figured out that his relationship with Groves was threatened. Of course, he did not have a relationship as of yet. However, that could arguably be due to these outside interferences.
There was a new threat. It was not the pirate, for although the Lieutenant had a fascination with them, it did not affect his loyalties to the King. His direct competition was Admiral Norrington. There was no doubt in his mind that the impressionable young Lieutenant looked up to Norrington. He had been under his command in the Navy. How impressed he must have been with Mister Norrington's promotion. Youngest Commodore in Port Royal's Naval history. His fall from grace did not seem to falter Groves' admiration of him.
No, this was something unexpected. He had noticed a new pair of eyes interested in the young Theodore Groves. Lieutenant Greitzer. The man was as cold and aloof as one could be. But even he had enough emotion in him to notice the young Lieutenant. Beckett was not pleased with this discovery. He had thought of Greitzer as an ally not an opponent. The Lord would never let this situation spiral out of control. He knew he could count on his officers in battle. But in this case it was every man for himself. If Norrington and Greitzer wanted to get involved in his personal affairs so be it. Lord Cutler Beckett knows not the meaning of defeat.
A/N: I'm going to be doing a lot more drabbles. You've probably noticed I go back and forth between timelines. I hope they're enjoyable nonetheless. On another note, I just added Greitzer. So let the games begin! And since Groves is such an irresistable slutbunny, there might be some more playmates for him in the future. ;)
