he cringed in sympathy as the other drank the tea, hot water and willow bark tasted awful as he well knew but it was a necessary evil and his aunt would have skipped the toast to boot. he looked at her as she laughed at the captian's distress, why she always did this he did not know it seemed odd to him the humor of it lost to him but he did not question it, it was the only time she ever did seem happy.

Roy finished the toast, he coughed violently it felt as if he was about to cough back up what he had just consumed. Though thankfully he didn't, he couldn't imagine how unappealing it would be for Damaris to see him be sick. He cursed under his breathe and closed his eyes for a moment trying to calm himself. His stomach sounded as if it was gurgling, perhaps he would try not to drink as much as he had last night. He laughed at that thought.

When he opened his eyes they wandered over the Damaris who had been lingering by the doorway. He smiled warmly at the boy, Roy wanted to invite him to be beside him. He still had no clue if the boy remembered anything from last night or not. Though he couldn't bother the boy now, not when his aunt was around. He would have to wait for an opportunity.

[littl3chocobo]

he blushed furiously, even through his tan it could be seen. he stumbled back into the safety of the kitchen his heart racing. he was not sure why that smile, one he had received many times from many a grateful body, not in the least from the captain himself, sent him whirling this time. he put his hand to his chest and hurriedly went back to his chores

[gremlin]

Roy's eyes lit up when he saw the boys reaction to his gaze, his lips curled up into a smile and he chuckled softly to himself. What was it about this boy? He wanted him more than he had ever wanted another, it was rather odd. Perhaps it was how timid he was, it was cute. The way he reacted to how he looked at him and last night poor Damaris had gone limp in his arms from him being so close. Roy felt warm at the thought of holding him, he wanted to do it again though maybe he would be more slow this time. He didn't want Damaris to collapse and he only have a few more days to spend here before he continued to sail across the seas.

A thought popped into his head though it was quite a dangerous one. What would Damaris say if Roy offered him a chance to sail across the sails in the Judith? He could offer him his own bedroom and he would spoil the boy certainly. Then again what if he became attached to the boy? He couldn't remember the last time that had happened, feeling so passionate with someone that he couldn't pry himself away from them. It was almost dangerous for him to fall in love. He wouldn't want to return him that would be certain and he knew that the aunt would have something to say about it. What the hell? Why was he so concerned about what she thought? He hissed under his breath, perhaps he was thinking too deeply about things.

Roy lifted himself from his seat and tore away from what he had just consumed. It still had not settled inside of him and he had a feeling that he might suffer from indigestion later or even the next day. He looked over at the doorway that the boy had disappeared into he wanted to speak to him. He watched the aunt, she seemed busy enough and he slipped through the doorway without being spotted. Hopefully he could speak to Damaris for a bit before she came in herself and shooed him away like a damn animal. "Hell," he purred as he approached the boy. "What are you cooking?" he asked, his eyes went from Damaris to what he was preparing. It looked far better than what he had had.

[littl3chocobo]

he jumped slightly at the sound of the other's voice, he had not heard anyone come in, not that anyone other than auntie ever did. he realized belatedly after a few moments he was expected to speak. '...um, chowder, and...and blood pudding' he tried not to look at the other though he could feel how close they were together, no more than a step or so apart. the odd feeling from the ship returned

[gremlin]

"Oh," he said as the boy answered his question. Roy really wasn't interested in what he was cooking, he simply wanted to speak to him even if it involved something that he didn't care much about. He was quite an awful cook, he had hired some men aboard his ship to cook for him and the other men. "I'm a rather horrible cook," he said then laughed weakly. "I had to hire some men to cook for me and my men. I don't even remember the last time that I had cooked. It was many years ago, that's all that I can recall." he laughed again then looked up at the boy.

Something inside of him stirred, he could see that Damaris would uncomfortable with him being so close. Roy took a step back reluctantly attempting to make Damaris feel more comfortable. "You wouldn't happen to be for hire would you?" he asked then smiled.

[littl3chocobo]

he almost leaned back as the other moved away. he froze. he was more confused now than ever, this new feeling was too much too fast. he did not have time enough to think. he turned around and opened his mouth '......' he tried to say his aunt needed him and he surely was not a very good cook anyway and several other things. instead he said nothing, his mouth opened to poise the reply. he stared for a moment then realizing nothing had come out he closed his mouth with an audible click and turned back to the pudding, it needed to go into the ashes before the blood curdled and went sour.

[gremlin]

Roy laughed softly at the boy's reaction or well his lack of one. "Why are you so shy around me?" he asked him curiously. It bothered him that Damaris could become so easily timid. He brought himself behind the boy and peered over his shoulder watching him cook, he almost looked interested. "That smells good," he mumbled quietly then smiled. His body was very close to Damaris' body and he didn't wish to move any time soon.

[littl3chocobo]

'...see?' his grip tightened momentarily at the promise of the ship twisting the link in his hand too hard, it popped and the contents of the pudding spilled down his hand, he pulled himself up and backwards to keep the mess from getting any more on himself than it already ha. he solidly hit his back into the chest of the other. over his shoulder at the captain he said the only thing he could 'towel'

[gremlin]

Roy jumped a little as Damaris moved to cleaned himself. "Don't waste it," he purred. He felt a little thrill go through him knowing that the aunt could step into the room at any moment. He wrapped a hand around Damaris' waist and brought him back towards himself. "Tsk..." he brought his free hand to Damaris' hand and lifted his hand to his lips. Roy's lips parted and he breathed out heavily, the smell of blood made him feel as if he was drunk again. His eyes narrowed and he ran his tongue along the boy's fingers for a moment he held his breath. Roy kissed the boy's palm then his wrist, he was tempted to bite Damaris.

He pressed his teeth and fangs against his wrist though brought his face away from the boy's hand when he heard a sudden noise. For a moment he thought that the aunt had come into the room, he was glad that he was wrong. He brought his hand from the boy's to under Damaris' chin and lifted his face. "Excuse my behaviour," he breathed out heavily. For a moment it seemed as if he was going to kiss him. Roy had to pull himself from the boy before he lost control. Now wasn't the time to feed. He quickly let go of Damaris and left the room without a word. His eyes met the aunt's and he hurried out of the inn, he had no time to deal with her.

[littl3chocobo]

the room became unbearably small and hot as the other breathed out over his neck, his breath ran short as took his hand into his mouth. from the corner of his eye he could see the other man's mouth hover over his wrist. he pressed back instinctively as he felt teeth lightly scratch his skin. he began to feel faint a small gasp escaped him 'uah'. the other paused. dropping damaris' hand he brought his own up to the boy's chin 'excuse my behavior' the words sounded far away though their faces were centimeters apart. he tried to ask the other to repeat the words but could achieve no more than a slight parting of lips. he stared dazedly as the other broke away.

it took his auntie several minutes to break away from the front but when she did all she found in the kitchen was her nephew twisting the last of the links into the furnace she went over to the boy to demand to know what the pirate captain has said or done. damaris said nothing as was usual of him but pointed over to a bucket on the floor where dirty linnins were soaking. spent lining sat on the table next to it. 'he tried to pinch one and it broke? stupid sod, cannot even tell when food is not cooked' she tamped off angrily mentally tallying the wasted food onto the tab kept next to the sack of coins he had given her the day before.

[gremlin]

Roy had left the inn in a hurry of course to avoid the aunt. He didn't want to be questioned by her, it would only annoy him though he had come up with a few excuses as to why he had wandered into the back. He was hungry, that was it. He wanted to see if he could make a request and in the process he ruined some food because he was curious and wanted to look at it. He sighed a little and breathed in heavily enjoying the cold, crisp air that surrounded him tonight. Roy's poor head was still throbbing from the other night, at least it wasn't as hot as it had been last night. It was cold and relaxing, it helped him feel a little better.

Roy had been lingering around his ship, it was boring but he wanted to avoid the inn until late into the night. When he saw less and less villagers out he wandered towards the inn, finally deciding that he could show his face. As he entered his eyes wandered over the surrounding area. It wasn't too late so he assumed that the boy may be up cleaning or preparing food for the next day. Roy didn't see the aunt though she could be there anyways. He felt a little bold as he called out the boy's name. "Damaris?" he tilted his head to the side hoping that the boy would come out to see him.

[littl3chocobo]

he heard the other call out his name while he was wiping dry dishes. the strange feeling that had been with him all day amplified three-fold. he did not want to see the other for the rest of his life, but on the other hand he desired to also to be back in the arms of the other. it was strange and disturbing and left him confused. his habit of following direction however signed away any chance he had at making up his mind. he was already through the door when he realized what he was doing.

[gremlin]

Roy approached the boy without hesitation, he brought one hand to the boy's waist and brought him very close. Their bodies were touching as they had earlier today. "Please forgive me for my behaviour earlier today," he mumbled quietly. "I usually have better control over myself but you seem to make me unable to control myself." his eyes met Damaris' eyes and he smiled warmly. "It's odd when you desire someone so strongly that you become reckless." he laughed though it was a rather weak laugh. He brought his free hand up to the boy's face and he brushed away a few strands of hair. It was unbearable, the feeling inside of him that was never-ending.

He ran his fingers along the side of Damaris' face then curled them under his chin lightly. "Will you come to sea with me?" he asked, his face was now very close to Damaris'. He brought the hand from the boy's waist to his back and kept his body against his own. "I don't think you can really say no anyways, I want you to come more than anything." he pressed. Roy kissed him on his check lightly watching the boy to see his reaction. He then closed his eyes and pressed his lips against Damaris' lips firmly.

[littl3chocobo]

he was pulled into an embrace. he wanted to push away but as much he wanted to melt into the other. he chose neither action however as the other began to talk 'Please forgive me...' for what damaris wondered. he was the one who broke the pudding's case, he was the one to run into the other, he was the one who was wrong.

he paused in his musings as the other looked into his eyes. he was drawn to return the stare. those eyes that normally looked as anyone elses seemed almost to change, what was different he could not tell but all the same it pulled from him a wish to say yes to anything asked of him, he wanted to look away but he could not. the other continued 'it's odd when you desire someone so strongly that you become reckless.' is that what this is? he thought, desire? the other lightly touched his face as he brushed a few strands from damaris' face then putting his long fingers under damaris' chin he asked the question the boy did not even know he was waiting to hear. 'will you come to sea with me?' he shivered lightly in the others arms. he want to say yes so badly but his mouth would not cooperate. the other did not need an answer though, he moved his hand from the boy's waist to his back, his fingers trailing the thin fabric of the boy's tunic. he continued, 'I don't think you can really say no anyways, I want you to come more than anything.' he then kissed the boy on the neck. 'yes' damaris whispered as he was freed from the other's gaze, though it was much too late for he intended question, though at this point it could have been a yes to any number of things for all he wanted to say yes to at that point. he was startled less than he should have been to feel the kiss, like a seal against his lips stopping any more confessions. somehow he felt it was right. tentivly he grasped at the other's cape, an anchor that he could drop quickly should this perilous step prove fatal

[gremlin]

Roy brought his lips away from the boy's slowly and let out a heavy breath. He was tempted to kiss him again, he didn't want to end this embrace. Though he resisted his urges trying to maintain control over himself. "Yes?" he repeated what the boy had just said. A smile crept on to Roy's face as he realised the boy had agreed to going out to sea with him. He pressed his forehead against Damaris' forehead, Roy opened his eyes and watched the boy. "You want to come with me?" he asked, he held Damaris' chin for a few moments then brought his hand to the boy's hair. He twirled a strand of his hair around his finger playfully. "It will be dangerous but I will protect you and you can have your own room." he smiled thinking about the days he would spend with Damaris. Though not all of them would be peaceful, he wondered if it would end up being a hassle to bring the boy along.

He let out a heavy sigh and drew his face away from Damaris'. "I'll take care of you, you wouldn't have to worry about a thing." Roy took hold of the boys shirt on his back and held it tightly. "But you have to promise to be mine." he purred, Roy smiled warmly at the boy, he continued to play with Damaris' hair. "I won't make you do anything, just be mine." Roy thought of telling Damaris his secret though he was slightly afraid to. He had the boy in his arms, he had agreed to come with him. He had gotten this close and didn't want the scare the boy off.
