"I did it out of honor"
Pirates of the carribean - Request
for the lovely @umgatochamadopercyval
With i share my birthday today at the 27. december. Capicorns!
Happy birthday to you! I hope you have a nice birthday today with your loved once. Be healthy and may your wishes come true.
Enjoy the little short story with James Norrington.
"Y/N!" she shouted. Your beloved sister. A graceful but strong woman and the real daughter of Gavenor Swann. Elizabeth.
You always fight since you were little. The family adopted you after you los your family. Elizabeth nearly begged her father. Now you watched her with Will and interrupted a moment of peace. A kiss between those too.
"Don't worry" a voice whispered. "I take care of you. Noone will harm you and she loves you either way." You turned around. Sparrow.
"What?"
"You fear you lost her. You don't want to be alone. Aftee you lost your home, your father."
Jack took some steps. "As long Beckett has any use for him."
"Our father lives!" you insisted.
The pirate's words echo in your head. If there were a handful of decent pirates, and if Jack is one of them, then it doesn't matter. Because aboard these pirates, you're just a prisoner and you didn't think you will see Jack Sparrow again.
-
"Darling, without me you would still be on board. I saved you. No Navy, no Will Turner, nor your sister or that bloody Norrington. So you owe me, aye?."
You look at Jack. He was right. It was he who saved her. He pushed open the door, stood over you and freed you. So you own him at least respect and gratitude. You don't admit it but he grew into your heart. He isn't that bad. A filthy pirate yes but no villian.
And yet you are now standing between the men who conquered your heart. One quickly and with ease. You have always admired the other. But James had eyes for your sister. So she was the older one and the one who represented her family. You're just adopted.
You turn to Jack. Freedom with him was exciting and enticing. He showed you more respect in some situations than a Nobelman would. you smile at him Jack leans back slightly and opens his arms. He grinned and pulled up a corner of his mouth. With him you have someone who accepts you as you are.
"A choice has been made! A choice against true love." You turn around sharply when you hear James moan. Davy grabbed him. The captain of the dutchman is happy. He was right when he said you are a monster of the sea a daughter of Calipso and don't deserve to be loved.
The admiral's eyes meet yours. Full of sadness and disappointment that destroyed the rest of longing. "Let him go." you demand "I told you the loser knows the sea." With a shove, James falls over the rail. "No!" you cheer and Davy laughs. "We have to go. THIS is our chance! He won't survive!" Jack whispers, grabbing your sleeve.
You desperately try to break away from Jack's grip. "Y/N!" your name out of his mouth lets you see him. "Remember I rescued you. Remember all the nights of fun and rum. Of our connection." But then he understood and loosens his fingers from you.
A second full of deep understanding before you heave yourself over the railing with quick steps and jump towards the ice-cold water. The sea embraces you like a piece of motherland that calls back a prodigal daughter.
Once the transformation is complete, you could swim faster against the current and grab James by the wrist. He has already closed his eyes when he feels your hands and the pull up. Stunned by the cold and the weight of soaked clothing, he could barely move.
"I'm so sorry. Please hold on!" you call out to him as soon as he was up. Time stopped for a moment. Stopped the sea and you float. With the last of his strength, James lifts his hand and puts it on your cheek. He looks into your [your eye colour] eyes. His blue lips form your name and a smile. At least he sees you in his last hour. Before he loses consciousness, you give him a kiss on his cold lips. Trembling with anger, you clutch his clothes even more. It must not end.
Breaking waves. The constant murmur was only drowned out by the birds migrating across the blue sky.
The sun blinds you as a cough brings you back to reality.
You pull yourself up and see him. The admiral of your heart. James Norington. His actual hair already air dried. When he calmed down, your eyes meet.
His then wandered over your naked body and he realized what was happening.
Even before he asked, he took off his uniform coat and covered you with it. It was wet but served to hide you from view.
"Did I deceive you?" he begins. "Have you...are you...a mermaid?"
Silence. This silence confirms it to him. He looks at the sea and touches his forehead.
"You could have ripped me to pieces if the tales are to be believed. But you didn't." he mentions.
"James.." You lean in and adjust his head with your hand on his chin so he's looking at you. Your hand slips to his cheek.
"I don't kill anyone I have feelings for."
"Feelings?" - "Deep as the sea"
An encouraging smile from you preceded the kiss. But instead of you, James puts both hands on your cheeks and pulls your head into a kiss. In which his lips meet yours.
You kiss back passionately until you wrap your arms around his wet body and let yourself fall back onto the sand with him.
After minutes of intimacy, you now lie there, turned to each other, arm in arm. You can feel his breath through your nose on your forehead.
"I always thought you adored my sister Lizzie." you mumble
"I did it out of honor. I wasn't allowed to follow my heart either. She was a better match in the eyes of society. But when you were with her, I had to force myself not to keep my eyes on the face. Because you I wanted more" James kisses you on the forehead and you smile.
"But things have changed... Unlike her, you didn't join a pirate voluntarily."
"But me and Jack..."
"I ignore it. As much as it hurts... my love for you is stronger and I know we'll find a way."
Silently you snuggle up to his body, whose clothes are slowly drying and warming up in the sun. After all this time you could be with him. That he reciprocated your feelings made your heart leap for joy.
