"C'mon men, onward!" Captain Gamble roared with a hearty laugh to top it off. He was in an especially good mood today, Captain Gamble will retrieve a special treasure today. Captain Gamble's crew were just as ecstatic to have a fresh woman on board. The crew docked the ship in the designated harbor then lined up on the deck. This was standard procedure whenever an outsider boarded the ship. Captain Gamble walked to the Monte family home to greet them with his presence.

Today, Angeal, the son of a poor family in France, was told that he had to stay home for a family meeting with "merchants", that his parents said that they were in debt to. Honestly, Angeal didn't think any more to it, his family always had to talk to the tax collectors and the merchants, they hand to give up things so that they could get what they needed all the time.

Crossing his legs with a sigh as he sat down in a chair at the kitchen table that their family used, in their small apartment. He was left there by himself, although he had no clue why. He was told to wait around for the "merchants", and was told to just let them in without questioning. Opening one of the books that he borrowed from the book collection at the library, he looked at the slightly torn, yellow pages, reading them while waiting for the "merchants" to show up at their door.

Captain Gamble walked a few blocks past the Monte family book store and to their apartment. Bartering usually doesn't suffice me but, their kid is pretty cute so I was holding back. Captain Gamble thought this as he knocked on the door. He awaited for someone to answer.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

The young man sighed to himself when he heard a knock on the door. Honestly, he wanted top know what his parents were in trouble for this time. Though.. they were no where to be seen, nor did he know exactly where they were. Despite the suspicions growing in his mind, he sighed, and let the man at the door come in. Little did he know that he was going to be taken away from the house... and his parents gave him up willingly, though he didn't know that. "Welcome sir, how can I help you today?"

[cloudsilk]

This guy, he's pretty cute but, he looks like he'll be stubborn, I might have to break him a little. Captain Gamble thought as he optically examined the boy. "Hmm, how can you help me?" he said while walking around the boy. "You see, your parents owe quite a large sum of money. Do you know how much? Of course you don't they probably keep you out of the loop. You are probably thinking, what exactly could your parents give me besides money? The answer to that is you." He paused for a moment to look at the boy's face for a reaction his statement. "Yes, you, your parents sold you off to save your own ass. Now, you can choose to cry about it or embrace the life of a pirate. It's your choice" Captain Gamble said as he gently rested his hand on the boy's shoulder.

 

"I-I think I saw him go in that apartment" a man outside said to a nearby officer. "Thank you for your help, citizen" the officer replied as he walked closer to the Monte family apartment. "Captain Gamble, you are under arrest for charges in all of the seven seas. You have nowhere to run, come out with your hands up or, I will bring you to the king dead." Captain Gamble ducked his head down and sighed to himself. "I figured this might happen, good thing I brought one of these." He said while reaching in his coat pocket. He pulled out a firework but it seemed a bit different. He grabbed a match, lit the firework, and threw it out of the window in the guards direction. The firework mimicked a flash grenade and impaired the guards' line of sight. Captain Gamble grabbed the boy's arm, rose to his feet, and dashed out of the apartment. He led the boy down the road to the boat. "Get back here!" the guard yelled as he shot randomly in Gamble's direction.

 

"Huff...Huff...I-I think we lost him" Gamble said as he tried to catch his breath. He didn't really pay attention to where they were running. They ended up taking a quick R & R behind a cafe. "Well... How's your taste of the pirate life so far?" Gamble said as he flashed a goofy grin.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

 

The brunette glared at the other as he circled him, cringing at what he was talking about. His parents couldn't be that crrel, could they? And if what this man was saying was true... why didn't his parents tell him? He would have gotten another job or two...heck, even maybe three, if that's what it would have took! Huffing softly, crossing his arms the slightest bit, Angeal glared at the pirate before saying, "If this is some sick, stupid joke, please stop it." His eyebrowns were knitted in frustration, obviously not liking the ideas going through his mind.

 

What if what this man was saying was true?

 

When he heard officers outside, he thought about screaming, but by the time he opened his mouth to do so, it was interrupted by the loud explosion of a firework, which completely caught him off guard. Really, he hated loud noises. He loved calm, and tranquil places where he could relax, not crazy, loud, rambunctious places that often got others in trouble.

 

Following the pirate mostly through fear, the brunette dashed along with him, hoping to escape what was back there...that was really scary. He didn't have the questions "where are my parents" or "why were they in debt" in his mind. No, he had the idea of escaping and living in his mind... that was absolutely terrifying back there.

 

Once they lost the officers, the lanky, brown-haired man panted softly, and glanced at the blonde captain, his body obviously tired as he slumped against the wall, and huddled into a small ball, wrapping his thin arms around his legs, "Pirates...? My family made a deal with...pirates?"

[cloudsilk]

Gamble turned his head towards the boy and glanced at his scared expression. "Hey, if you want to get to my ship alive, you have to stand up." He said while offering his hand to the boy for support. This kid is turning out to be a bit of a handful but, I said I'd turn him into a pirate so... Gamble thought this as he waited for the boy to take his hand. "The guards, they've seen your face. You think you can go back to your normal life, even if you run away from me? You have nowhere else to go, other than with me." This boy seems to be a gentle soul, I'll have to crush him down and build him back up in order to make him a pirate, Gamble thought as he tried to organize his thoughts.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

 

The brunette instantly pouted at the other's words, obviously bothered by them, "Yeah, they saw my face. It's your fault, asshole." He glared at him with an ebb of anger as he slapped the other's hand away and stood up by himself. He wasn't in a really good mood at the moment. Crossing his arms across his chest, the lanky figure cocked his head softly. He wasn't going to give this pirate respect... what was a good reason for him to get respect? With a rather annoyed tone in his voice, Angeal said, "So are we going or what? You waiting around here is what's going to get us caught, sir." There was a snide edge to his voice when he said "sir", as if trying to mock him.

[cloudsilk]

Gamble laughed at the boy's personality change. "Hmph, now you're starting to act like a pirate. We're pretty close to the harbor, think you can run there?" Gamble was holding back the urge to smile at the boy's new found pirate spirit. He glanced at the boy's body and was surprised at how skinny he is. Is he gonna be okay? Gamble thought as he waited for him to reply.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

 

Well, of course the other was angry. He basically had every right to. He was forced from his home with no other choice, his parents forced him to join these thugs, and now he was wanted by the cops because of this...idiot. Huffing softly, the lanky brunette stared at the blonde captain before saying, "Yeah, I can run there. It's not like I have a choice, now do I?" There was still the same edge of annoyance hidden in his voice as he glanced back at his feet.

[cloudsilk]

He loved all of this animosity that the boy was giving him. "You're still going on about that? My property sure likes to complain!" Gamble said as he walked to the entrance of the alleyway of the cafe shop. He poked his head out to make sure the coast is clear. "Make sure to keep up!" He added as he ran down the street. Gamble periodically looked over his shoulder to check whether the boy was there or not.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Scowling the slightest bit at the blonde, he pulled his lips back in a frown, his eyebrows knitted in a tight scowl. "Ugh, your property? Please, I'll never be your property. I'll never be yours. You can't tame me." growled the younger male as he followed the blonde captain, keeping up with him rather easily, his long, brunette hair flowing in the air as he ran, his dark eyes looking rather determined to keep up and escape.

[cloudsilk]

Laughing mockingly at the boy, he adjusted his hat and looked at him. "Of course you are, your parents sold you off like property. Is that so? I'm sure you'll give in soon." He really admired the boy's spirit but, he knew that will fade in time. Hm? At least he's not getting tired, Gamble thought as he eyed the boy's form. "O-over there!" a guard yelled to his fellow guards. A mob went in pursuit of Gamble and his crew member. "Looks like we have some company, don't fall out of breath yet!" Gamble said as he sprinted past the boy and waved his hands up in the sky. He was getting closer to the harbor. A crew member noticed the captain giving them the signal. The crew prepared the ship to set sail once again. Gamble pulled out a rather small bomb and a match. He then lit the match, ignited the bomb, and threw it at a vacant wagon. The guards stopped pursing them in order to make sure no citizens were injured. Gamble climbed on board the ship and fell on the ground. He panted while wiping the sweat off of his brow. "Huff huff...Whew, what a rush!" The crew set sail from the harbor out to sea.

 

After Gamble caught his breath, he stood up and walked towards the boy and said "From now on this ship, you will address me as Captain. Now, introduce yourself to the crew."

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

"I won't give in...not to you, and not to anyone else!" said the other firmly, wanting to convince himself that he wasn't going to give in, as much as he wanted to, as much as he just wanted to make sure that he was taken care of and live a mildly decent life.... but the other side of him wanted to just not let the man do whatever he pleased to him, he wanted to fight back, put up a resistance.

As they ran onto the ship and away from the guards, the young man collapsed when they got on the ship, out of breath by the time they got there. Though, when the other said that to him, he instantly glared at him, scowling, obviously annoyed by the statement.

"I think I like you addressing you better my own way, sir." He said with a mocking tone at the end, rolling his dark eyes at the Captain. Angeal was obviously trying to keep his distance from the Captain, keeping himself a good few feet away from the blonde, obviously still mad about all of this. "Why should I have to introduce myself to your shitty crew? It's not like I'm going to talk to them anyways. They don't need to know me."

[cloudsilk]

"My crew is shitty, huh?" Gamble muttered under his breath while glancing at the ground. Words aren't working on this kid, looks like I'll try something else Gamble thought as he approached the boy. He slapped the boy across the face as hard as he could. The boy fell to the ground with a hard thud. Gamble placed his boot on top of the cheek that he had just slapped. "Your parents owe me fucking money and I had the decency to spare their lives in exchange for your body. You come on my fucking ship and insult my crew. Having you fucking lost your mind you little shit?" He rubbed his boot into the boy's face then sat on top of him. "You are mine now, get that through your fucking skull!" He said he poked the boy's head. Gamble rose from off top of the boy and walked towards his quarters. "I'm going to take a nap, don't disturb me!" He opened the door to his quarters, walked inside, and slammed the door.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Angeal groaned quietly when he was hit, and he fell on the floor. His head hurt... He didn't really hear what the other was saying, obviously dazed by the whole thing, his body quivering the slightest bit as the other placed his boot on his head. The brunette was going to say something, but was too confused by the sudden hit. Though, after a few moments, he finally gathered the words that he was looking for, "Decency? I'd rather you kill me...why don't you do that, huh? What use am I to you? Why do I matter?" It was definitely going to leave a pretty nasty bruise on his face... As the other lifted his boot from his head and turned to walk away, Angeal just laid there. He didn't feel like getting up...his head hurt.

[cloudsilk]

What use am I to you? That question rang in Gamble's mind as he laid on top of his bed. Fucking kid, he's turning out to be a pain in the ass. He thought this while staring at his red that was used to slap the boy. "Feh, who cares how he feels? If he can help us make money, that's all I need" He said to himself out loud, trying to calm himself down. I'd rather you kill me? If I wanted kill, I would have just killed your entire family. Gamble heaved a heavy sigh as he tried to get comfortable in bed and, forget about the boy's trivial words.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

 

 

 

 

Angeal huffed softly, his vision coming back into focus as he sat up. His head hurt, he could feel the pulsing from a head-ache coming on in his right temple. Rubbing his forehead slightly as he glanced around, seeing the stares that he received from the rest of the crew. Groaning to himself, the young man huddled up in a small ball, his knees pressed up against his chest tightly as he wrapped his arms around the firm flesh of his legs, burying his face in between his knees, not enjoying the glances and words that he recieved. Why was this shitty crew even bothering with him?

[[skips to morning xDD]]

 

 

Gamble groggily rose from bed, his eyes slowly adjusting to the room. Strange, I don't remember drinking. Best way to cure a hangover, drink! He thought this as he grabbed a bottle of whiskey from his desk and took a swig of it. Guess I better check on the little runt. Gamble opened his quarter door and searched the ship for the boy. He ended up finding him curled up in a corner of the ship. To get the boy's attention, he gently tapped the boy with his boot. "You boy, wake up" Gamble waited for a physical response from him.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Angeal was asleep soundly in the corner of the ship. He had fallen asleep in the corner around dawn, having horrible sea-sickness all night, not used to the life with the crew. Really, being a pirate couldn't be any worse than how it was right now. When he felt the captain's boot against his body, he stirred, dark eyes slightly opening, a groggy expression in them, obviously not too pleased by being woken up. "If I have to call you Captain, I'd appreciate it if you at least had the decency to call me by my name. Anyways, I'm not a boy."

[cloudsilk]

Gamble sneered at the boy's sad attempt to be polite. If he wanted to be called by his name then, he would have said it earlier. He thought this while reaching for his sword. "Walk to the deck, now!" Gamble ordered while taking a swig of his whiskey. He kept the point of his blade close to the back of the boy until they walked in front of the plank. "Now, that everyone is awake, it is time to witness what happens when you don't give it into me. For the sake of morality, I'll give you two options: become the woman of the ship: cooking, cleaning, and that or, walk the plank." It's a shame that it's come to this and your so cute too, Gamble thought as he awaited for the boy's reply.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Angeal didn't enjoy being greeted with a sword. It was so early in the morning...couldn't they do this when he was completely awake and make a half-decent decision. Dark blue eyes foggy, he glared at the Captain, and nearly snorted in laughter when the other made the offer, "Psh? For morality? Both are humiliating." His eyes glinted in humor, his hands slipping into the pockets of his pants. "If you really want me to walk off the plank, why would you give me a second chance? If you really wanted me dead, you wouldn't give me a second option.." He was musing out-loud to himself. "For fun's sake... I think I'll take up your offer on that role as a "woman", sir. It seems like quite a simple job, really, just doing what I usually do at home, and then just being a flat out whore added on...why not? Life here is already pitiful."

[cloudsilk]

"W-well that's..." Gamble muttered as he turned his head trying not to blush. This embarrassment caused him to lower his sword.

"P-pitiful? Why you.." Gamble growled as he raised his sword again. A nearby crew member walked up to him, whispered something, and walked away. He heaved a heavy sigh as he lowered his sword, sheathed it away, and walked towards the quarter deck to consult navigation. He stopped halfway, turned back towards the boy and said "Hey boy, tell us your name or we're just gonna start calling you woman." Gamble laughed as he resumed walking to the quarter deck.

 

He consulted with his first mate and navigator about a rumored treasure score. This is just the thing Gamble was waiting for so the boy could prove his worth. He ordered for the crew to change course and begin route. A loud yawn took over him as he walked to the mess hall for some breakfast. The cook, Alex, gave him some porridge and a sliced-up apple. This meal, isn't very manly Gamble thought as he ate his meal. Gamble was the captain of the ship but, he knew better to never complain to Alex. Last time he complained to Alex, they ended up having a food fight in the kitchen.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Angeal ran a hand through his hair, before mockingly saying, "Oh, sir, are you getting flustered because I used a naughty word." There was obviously a smirk of amusement on his face. Really, this commander acted like such a tough man, like he'd break him... and he couldn't even face him properly. As the other crew member walked up and the Commander walked away, Angeal glanced at the older crew member before stretching lazily, "Neh, my name is Angeal." He seemed to be less stressed around the crew-member than he did the Commander. The Commander was his primary target, really... if he was going to be a whore, he'd rather it be for the Commander's pleasure.

[cloudsilk]

After he finishing the food and thanking Alex, Gamble walked back to the deck to find Angeal. He searched the deck, walked up to him and said "Angeal..." He leaned into the other male and kissed him. Gamble rested his arms onto Angeal's shoulders and looked him in the eyes. "Tomorrow we go to a dangerous island to hunt for treasure. I want you to prove yourself as a pirate. That determination you had yesterday to stay alive, I need you to show that again. Can you do that for me?" A part of him wanted to just treasure Angeal and keep him locked away inside the ship. Another part of him knew that Angeal had enough fire in him to be a successful pirate.
