Full Sail Ahead [Harry Hook X Reader]

Hook's Bay

A fluffy chapter. Enjoy this D2 pic in honour of the song in this part, and of course, the hook. 

Your POV

I woke with the sun's rising, the light seeping through my eyelids like a flood. I felt well-rested, but knew I would have slept more if it weren't for the fact that we were indeed flying quite close to the sun. Well, closer to the sun than anyone down on the land, at least.

I glazed over at Harry, whose - almost-golden in the sunlight - hair was clouding his forehead. He seemed unbothered by the light, his chest's rise and fall the only sign of life on his body.

What a lovely morning. The desert sun was brilliant, tinging the sand below with its rays. I could feel the scaldingly hot grains down below just by viewing them, knowing what looked beautiful up here would be deadly for one trapped down there.

Still, the desert is breathtaking. Figuratively, of course. We're not talking about quicksand here.

An abrupt thought snapped me out of my reverie as I was peering down, and the thought - just for a second - made me feel like letting go of the edge of Carpet and plunging into the deathtraps of the desert.

My parents hate me.

I knew I was being dramatic - but if they had to pick between hating me and loving me at the moment, I'd bet they would lean towards the former.

I sighed to myself. Why can it never just be easy? It's always something - there's always a complication.

I opened my phone in boredom, and scrolled through Dai's expected disappointment upon learning of our early departure. Trust me Dai, no one feels worse about this than me.

I had managed to get the point across to her without letting her know the true reason - it was embarrassing enough without letting everyone know. And if Dai knows something, it's as good as everyone.

It had been a while since I checked the group chat with Maya, Kai, Uma, and Johnny - and as I did now to pass time, I squinted my eyes in confusion.

I just assumed they were going on about nonsense as usual - memes, pulling each other's legs, reminders - but it seemed like they had a plan that was waiting on Harry and mine's approval.

The latest message read: "Harry and (y/n) - like I said a few messages above - my Mom insisted we head to Motunui a day early, on Tuesday! Everyone else is on board for meeting a day early, can you guys make it? PLEASE CHECK YOUR MESSAGES!!!"

A day early - today? They want to meet at the Bay today??

I mean, we are technically free now - I fought the urge to think "everything happens for good" - and it would be nice to get a break from ourselves. Harry and I would just spend the day speculating and scheming, which my mind needed a break from.

Yes, a need for another break, despite Agrabah. Because Agrabah was not the break it was disguised to be. Not after what happened at the end.

And even if it meant I had to break the news to Johnny a day early, at the very least I had the hope he would take the news better than my parents seemingly did.

I tapped Harry's shoulder. "Harry." He didn't budge. "Harry," I spoke a little louder.

With a jolt he was up, worried that something had gone wrong.

"Hey, what do you think about Hook's Bay today?"

"Today??"

"Our friends are asking. Maya and Kai need to get home early."
