Huma: A childhood story (Harry Hook x Uma Ursa) {💯%}

6. Crew

Uma looked at the pirate boy who walked to her the next day.
"Where's your self-made ship?"
"My dad wasn't exactly pleased with the idea. He hated it so much that he's now forcing ne to become your first-mate." Harry said and Uma smiled.
"Did he now?"
Harry sighed.
"The ship is yours... Captain." he said with a small smile as well and Uma looked at him.
"Let's to my mom's restaurant. Gil should be there shoving eggs in his mouth..." she said and Harry followed her.
He knew he was falling in love with her, his sister was right all along.

"You kept your hair turquoise." Harry said as they were still on their way to Ursula's fish and chips shop.
Uma looked at him.
"My mom didn't get furious unlike your dad. She loved it. It's a shame he shaved your haed and that you never dared to dye it again." she said and Harry scoffed.
"Now, now... Don't be so cruel."
"Being cruel... It's sort of my thing." Uma said and Harry chuckled.
"I love it how you kept the bracelet all those years."
"Love it?" Uma repeated and Harry realised what he just said.
"I meant-"
"I love that you kept yours too." Uma said with a small smile (which she tried to hide).
Harry's cheeks turned bright red as Uma turned away.

They entered Ursula's fish and chips shop and Uma motioned to the barrel which had a sign above it;
'Sword check'
Harry rolled his eyes but did put his sword in it.
"Good." Uma said and she walked in front of Harry towards the egg-eating guy.
"Gil. Guess what? I'm the captain and Hook became my first-mate." Uma said proudly.
"Then who am I...?" Gil asked as he shoved another egg in his mouth.
"Carpenter and Sailmaker. I believe that rumours go that the youngest son of Gaston, you, could sew and all that?" Harry suggested and Uma agreed.
"Hook's right. Besides first-mate, I also make him the boatswain." Uma said and Harry did his best not to chuckle.
He enjoyed getting that title as well, it meant he would be able to think of the punishments for the other crewmembers and he got to assign the chores.
Uma slammed her fist on the bar.
"LISTEN UP FOLKS! I, Uma Ursa, have decided to form a pirate crew, together with son of Hook and son of Gaston. I'd need a few other pirates who wouldn't be afraid to get their hands dirty."

So four people applied; Jonas, Bonnie, Desiree and Gonzo.
"Teach them how to use a sword, Hook." Uma had said and Harry chuckled briefly, knowing it would be fun.
Especially since Gil joined volunteeringly.
Uma rolled her eyes at the egg-eater but she did think he needed the two of them (her and Harry).

"Okay, okay. Are you four even trying?!" Harry said with annoyance after a while.
He hated to admitt it but Gil was the best of all five of them.
Gonzo dropped his sword as he jeared Harry's voice sound like that and he quickly picked it up.
"Just... Five minutes 'till we get back at it." Harry said with a sigh and he rushed his hand through his hair.
This wasn't exactly how he pictured this and this wasn't anywhere near fun.

Uma was watching from a distance and he grinned as Harry send them all away for five minutes.
"Not so easy, Hook?" she asked teasingly and Harry looked at her.
"You happen to pick quite the crew, Captain." he said with a smirk.
He wanted to look casual, just leaning against the mast, but he lost his balance and nearly fell.
Uma did her best not to laugh and Harry quickly re-gathered himself.
"You didn't see that." he said with a serious voice and Uma burst out in laughter.
