Pirates of the Caribbean Imagines and One Shots

James Norrington - Protection

You sat on the edge of the docks your feet dangled over the edge, touching the surface of the water. It was innocence on your part, the child in you lived by the sea. Since you were married off to Norrington, you live here in port Royal.

Everything about him made you hate him. He liked another woman called Elizabeth despite being marrried to you, he loved the privledge that came with his prominent position and impressing other people. You admitted he treated you well, but often you were his trophy wife with gorgeous hair, and stunning face and beautiful body. That's all you were to his other male friends.

They were yet to be married.

It led you to hate him, you hated everything. When you sat down, you hated him. When you saw him you hated him. You hated him. No denying it.

Just lately hed made an effort with you, to touch your face and put his hands on your waist or into your hair. He wanted to be romantic with you, he was acting differently. You swatted his efforts away and turned a cold shoulder to it. After being married for nearly a year you felt maybe it was too late.

You were married. Till death did you both part.

A pirate ship had docked, crewed by men who were unfathomable like the bottom of the sea. Covered in barnacles and creatures, mimicking the devils that lurked the depths. They sighted you, but you failed to notice.

"What do we have here lads?" One of them asked.

They all made crude jokes and comments about you, the things they thought of. Drunk on the sea and their own wrong feelings. No wonder they were single.

"She's a stunning little lass with a gorgeous figure," they spoke from afar before beginning to approach.

James wasn't ever far away, he was working in his office since late last night and he was still there when you'd woken up.

"Ahhh hello miss, aren't you a fine piece?"

"I beg your pardon," you turned and gasped, getting up and beginning to back away. But all too much as you neared the edge.

"What's a treasure like you doing here allll alone on the docks? Betrothed are you?" He grabbed your hand looking at the rock on your finger, green. "Married? And are you happy?"

"Step away from her," James pointed his sword, you looked at him with aggression.

You could handle yourself you could protect yourself.

But, could you? He handled them with ease, forcing them to step away from you.

"Theres no need to treat me like I'm a piece of artwork your trying to protect, Norrington,"

"I want you to call me James, please. I'm not trying to do that..."

"You do it with all your friends. Don't pretend they don't act like those filthy pirates,"

"They don't, Y/N,"

"You just turn a blind eye because they in a high regard. They are just scum to you. But their all the same to me,"

"They're not all the same,"

"I'm happy to beg to differ,"

"Next time we see them you'll find out yourself,"

"Fine. Don't thank me for saving your life,"

"What would you like me to do? Kiss your feet and bow down to your mighty warrior act? I don't need saving,"

"I didn't ask if you wanted to be saved I want to protect you,"

It stunned you. He wasn't lying to you.

"Why do you want to protect me, James?"

"Because... I've realised what an ass I've been,"

"You're only realising that now, it's all too—"

"It's not too late. I'm sorry... we started off wrong it's my fault. We can't totally wipe the slate clean. Look, we were supposed to be going to—"

"Lady and Lord Applefords welcome home party tonight at 7:30pm, on the dot as usual. Don't worry I've got a dress and I won't be in tears after todays ordeal, makeup and hair and gorgeous corsets... ahhh jewellery,"

"We're not going,"

"Huh?"

"I've planned something else, rather I've changed the plans,"

"Why? It was important to you,"

"I realised that we are both really young Y/N I don't plan on spending my life being miserable with you,"

"Thank you for that, noted,"

"No... I've arranged for us to take a little time out tonight. From now on, every Thursday is date night. I'll take you somewhere and make you laugh. And we will start from the beginning, I want to fall in love with you, all of you. Not Jusr your strong pig headed side..."

"I hate you,"

"I know."
