An Untold Story

III

"After a few days I got used to my duties.. they were very basic, all I had to do was clean some things and help with little things it felt odd at first but I began to enjoy it, it was different from my old life. He would teach me things like how to fight, and how to loot etc. I learned more from him than I did my own father" he says looking down at the floor still leaning on the desk, his arms now crossed. Sitting on the bed keeping his distance Stede buds in "Sounds like you had it better on the sea, did you see him as a father figure?" Izzy looks over at him "I did for a bit.. until I got older.. thing's started to shift.." he looks away back down at the floor with a heavy sigh. "I was on the boat for a few years with him.. around the age of 26 that's when I became more than just a Cabin boy.." he says clearly uncomfortable as he continues.  

While tidying up the cabin with all the nick-nacks and clutter he hears a pair of feet walking in. Facing the door he smiles "Oh captain did you need something?" he nods looking around "Nicely done, you've gotten quite good at your job" he says walking closer. Smiling he nods "Thank you, anything to keep the captain happy" looking at him he laughs a bit "Anything to keep the captain happy I like that line.. it rolls off the tongue~" he says leaning closer, his hands on the desk that he is leaning back against. Seeing him fluster he smirks looking down at him now closer to his face "Don't think I haven't noticed you staring young man.. it's hard not to get attracted to someone you look up to" he chuckles a bit standing straight. Feeling his heart race he breathes out "W-What are you implying sir" he asks looking up at him and then to the side. "A captain gets lonely out on the sea.. having a muse is a must" nodding he avoids eye contact "I..I think I know what you're implying but, I don't really know if I have a choice in this" he says looking him dead in the eyes. "Well.. you do but remember your promise?" he gets closer to his ear saying in a deepened tone "Keep that promise to me" he pulls away seeing him nod, he smiles "Good dog" he says caressing his left cheek.

Reaching his hand up to the 'X' on his cheek bone he stays dead quiet as Stede stares "Does.. that have a significance? or is that just a coincidence.." Izzy shakes his head "I'll explain later.." he says somber taking a breath before he continues. Clearing his throat "It wasn't what you are thinking.. at least for a while.. he just needed affection.. someone to touch and someone to be touched by, physical touch, someone to hold at night.. that was one of my new duties.. it was a side job to go with my previous ones but it soon became all that I was doing.." he sighs feeling a frog in his throat.
