Character: Ed Blackbeard (Our Flag Means Death)

Content Warnings: Number 1. Implied self harm, I will label where it starts and ends :)

Note: I finally got around to watching Our Flag Means Death, and oh my god I can't wait until the next season. Just pretend this is what happened if nothing bad happened and Ed and Stede were all okay and happily escaped from the English pirate school thingy.

—x—

The soft waves gently swayed The Revenge as it left the harbour of the island, the palm trees waving their goodbyes to the pirates, the sun sending glittering rays wishing good luck to them as well. Everything seemed all well for the crew, but something was slightly different...

Below deck there was a young boy curled up on the inly bed he could find. His face seemed tired and sad, yet peaceful. Just at a glance you could tell how tired this boy must have been. He was so tired that he didn't hear the loud thuds of someone coming down the stairs, or that mans loud chatter to someone above deck.

"Yeah man, I still can't believe it was that busy. Tourists these days" Blackbeard continued chatting away to the person upstairs even after he was bellow deck.

Blackbeard himself looked extremely tired, he no longer wore his leather as much; Stede let him borrow some of his clothes. And he was washing his hair more often. His beard was growing back, well was starting to at least. His shoes were heeled, he apparently liked the extra height although he didn't particularly need that extra bit.

"Now where would Jim hid their knives, I've always wanted to get a closer look at those knives..." Ed waltzed into the room, the door slightly ajar, "hmm that's strange." As soon as Ed was half way in the room he jumped, hitting his head on the doorway,

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!??"

Startled the boy jumped up, grabbing a small dagger from his belt, looking dazed and anxious. Annoyed at himself, he went to sit back down, deciding that he had just dreamed of that noise and that there was no way that the ship had left already. There was a festival going on for god's sake!! Why would anyone leave??

"Cough. Cough. I asked you a question mysterious little guy."

The boy's head shot up, eyes wide with horror.
"I'm Y/n," he said confidently, getting up and straightening his jacket (and whipping the scared look off his face) "And don't mind me I was just about to leave." Y/n strolled his way across the small room towards Blackbeard.

"Uh, no you're not man. The ship already left."

"YOU WHAT!??!"

"We left your pretty little tourist island. Too touristy if you ask me. It use to be so much prettier."

"You left. When there is a festival on tonight...?" Y/n looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Yessir, weren't you planning on that huh little guy?"

"No. It was all going to work great!! I get a nice sleep, away from everyone. On a nice bed on a fancy ship, may I add. Then I leave before the crew get back in the next morning."

"Perfect plan." Ed smirked.

"Well it was. You guys must be crazy pirates." Y/n sat back down on the bed, defeated, "How am I going to get back!?!"

TRIGGER WARNING START:

Ed looked at the poor, tired boy sitting in front of him. Bandages wrapped around his arms, bloody splotches being patterned all down them. He knew what that meant. He knew how the boy felt.

TRIGGER WARNING END:

"Don't lie to me kid. I hate liars."

"Oh yeah, what you doing to do if I lie? Kill me?!? It's not like you're Blackbeard or someone, so get off your high horse."

Ed just stood there, still by the half open door. "Nah I totally am Blackbeard dude."

Y/n smiled for the first time, laughing at this remark "No way man."

Blackbeard didn't move, say anything or change his expression in the slightest.

"Oh my god you're being serious. I'm fucked!! I'm fucked. Kill me now." Y/n ran his hands through his hair and then just signed loudly, knowing defeat.

"Listen kid. And you better fucking answer truthfully." Ed waited for a response, and continued when Y/n nodded at him. "Were you happy back on that island?"

Y/n opened his mouth, ready to make a smartass reply, but when he saw how serious Blackbeard was being he closed it again. Scrunching up his eyebrows. "No" he said softly, almost questioning his answer.

"Huh? Speak up. Can't hear you." Blackbeard said to Y/n.

"No. I wasn't."

Ed breathed out loudly, wondering how he had got the misfortune of getting a sick teenager on his ship.

"Well, we aren't taking you back then kid. I'm not a dumbass. You can stay on this ship until we see a suitable place for you. An island with a pub which has a job for you or some shit."

"Oh ouh. Okay. Sounds great, um thank you."

Ed turned his head to the side, leaning it on the door frame. This kid was going to be a pain in his ass, he could tell that. Stede was going to love him, he already knew. Yet, Y/n already seemed to be growing on Ed already. No that couldn't be right.

"Come on kid, you better meet the rest of the crew. After all you are a stow away on their ship. I wonder how they will react" Ed started to walk away from the room, going up the stairs.

"My name is Y/n!! You better start calling me that instead of just kid!!" Y/n yelled after Blackbeard.

"Mhm, sure kid."

Hope you enjoyed !! I think I will continue this!! We should meet Stede :0

Jam :)
