Seongwha.

Seongwha led down. Not on the cells floor but a bed, The captains Spare bed. It was warm and soft. The nights coldness unable to touch his fragile skin.

He shared the same cabin as Hongjoong. Though far apart. He liked it that way. Since their little event that happened, Seongwha wanted to stay away from him but he didn't. He couldn't.

He will slice out that captains tongue if it's the last thing he does. He kept cycling his thoughts through the past few weeks.

Fuck boy.

Don't slouch, it makes you look poor.

All of them bad. But here, he has some good ish memories. Not many as it's his first night here.
Mingi was his first good memory, probably ever. That made him glad.

A loud bang echoed in the room and a curse followed it. It was Hongjoong's voice. A lantern waving in the distance, Seongwha leaned over the bed and looked out at the darkness.

"You good?" He asked, almost falling from the bed. He couldn't see the pirates figure but he could tell he was kneeling, in pain.

"Yeah, just a scratch." He replied with a wince.

"Your kneeling. Your not good."

"I am good! Damn you." His voice grumbled as it raised, he was standing now, "Why'd you care, prince?"

"It's Seongwha." He spat and shuffled back into the bed, tossing the layers onto him. Curling up. That pirate.

"Whatever.." the voice became distant and calmer, sounds of fabric and fur clashed against each other. He was in his bed.

"Goodnight!" Seongwha chuffed with a laugh, he don't know why he was laughing. It wasn't even that funny.

"Fuck you."

"You said it was too early."

"Stop using my words against me, land lubber." He muttered quietly. Land lubber? What the heck does that mean? Seongwha didn't ask, he would probably end up in the cell again.

"Get up, prince." His eyes fluttered open to the captain spitting at his face. His back hair flopping forwards and nearly touching Seongwha's head. Their noses almost touching. His eyes widened as he realised who he was.

"Okay okay.." he grumbled, sitting up. He looked down at himself and raised an eyebrow.
"Where did my corset go?.." he asked and darted an eye at Hongjoong who simply shrugged.

"You looked like you couldn't breathe, so I helped you out." He admitted as he walked away from Seongwha's bed, grabbing his brown coat and captains hat.

"You little-.." A loud slam of a door made its way to Seongwha's ears. He had left. Thank goodness.. he looked at the ground in search of his corset. He found it tucked under a desk. The captains main desk. Maps and letters sprawled out on the table. His writing was too scruffy to read, and the maps had stains on it.

He picked up his corset and pulled it around his waist, tightening it himself as he winced in pain. Tugging at it until it was good enough for his standards. He looked for his fur coat. He noticed it far from him, on a rack.

"That pirate.." he mumbled to himself, pulling it from the rack and slipping it on. He walked out of the room as he brushed his hands through his hair.

"That's mine! San, give it back!" A pirate squirmed as the red haired man, San, held a piece of meat in the air. A seagull eyeing it up. It stared with hunger on top of the watch tower.

It swooped from where it was and took it straight from San's hand. The other pirates eyes widened and rage filled him.

"Oops. Sorry Wooyoung.." he mumbled as Wooyoung slapped him repeatedly.

Seongwha watched from a far, noting their names in his head. He might be staying with them for a while. Until they know what their going to do with him.

"Ah, Seongwha? I'm correct?" A voice rippled from behind his back, he turned. It was Mingi.
"Sorry if I scared you?"

"Don't be sorry."

"See you've gained Captains trust already. You slept with him?" Mingi smirked as he nudged the door next to him. Captains Quarters.

"Oh no, no. I was in a separate bed thank goodness.." he sighed in surprise. Mingi only smirked more.

"It won't be long til you actually do.." he muttered. Seongwha frowned and slapped him on the shoulder. "Sorry?"

There was a small silence between them, sleeping with Hongjoong? No. Definitely not.

"Soo.. what's all of their names?" He asked brushing the thoughts away.

"Okay, so. The red haired one is San, you've probably heard. And the one next to him is Wooyoung. They like each other, but won't admit it." Mingi smiled as his tone turned more calming. Seongwha smiled.

"Then there's Yeosang, he's the one with the notebook. See?" He pointed and Seongwha looked. "He doesn't speak much."

The pirates either drawing or writing in his notebook, he balanced himself on a banister and looked out into the sea.

"Over there is Jongho." He pointed, the pirate was on top of the watch tower, "he always fights with Yeosang, the only time he does speak." He winked as he pointed at someone who was close, walking to them.

"That's Yunho." He said simply, Yunho stopped at their feet. Smiling.

"You introducing us lot?" He asked with a gentle tone, "You've met Mingi or is he just intruding your precious prince space?" He giggled at his own words.

Seongwha frowned slightly, "look what you've done, Yunho. Idiot."

"It was a joke, prince. Take it easy." He mumbled gently. Calming the conversation before it became an argument. "I'm a medic, so any aches or pains. You can come to me." He nodded as he turned his head. "Don't you have to map where we're going, Mingi?"

"Shit!. Yes. Pleasure talking to you, Seongwha." He dashed off and so did Yunho. Leaving him alone.

He looked across the deck. Staring at the crew members which wrestled and walked along. It was very different here. They actually had feelings, unlike the royals back at the palace.

The Queens probably sending a search team out for the king. The dead king. She might of had the message from the Phantom Palace that they didn't arrive. He'll never know until they reach him. If they even bother.

He frowned at the thought of nobody caring to even look for his body, luckily he's not dead on his fathers ship. On a journey which he only heard about the day before. Could be better, could be worse.

Captain Hongjoong stood at a balcony, leaning against a banister. He was staring down at his members with a stern face. His fur coat blew in the wind. Seongwha glared at him. He acted so much differently to when he was in the cabin. So serious outside his closed doors. Seongwha was surprised at that.

Can a pirate captain not enjoy being a captain?
