The Heart And Soul Of The Sea\\ Thomas Nickerson x reader (discontinued)

The Journey

The crowds music and cheers were to be heard softly. The crowd were merely speckles on land. All you could here was the sound of the waves crashing into to Essex. And the Essex creaking and swaying side to side ever so gently. 

You and Thomas were leaning on the side of the boat. Looking at the endless water we call the ocean. "It's beautiful..."  You say out of the blue. "I said that earlier... but yes, it is." Thomas replies softly. "You should try to close your eyes... It's calming" You smiled faintly remembering the feeling. He nods and does as you suggested. You watch him to see what his reaction was. His hair moving around slightly with the wind. His shoulders relaxing as he takes it all in. 'His hair looks soft,' You thought while you stared. ' He looks at peace...' his eyes began you to flutter open and his eyes land on you. "That...felt great," Thomas gushed in astonishment. "You know, we should do this more often Y/n." You smile. "Yeah, we should. But only on our spare time. Since we are part of the crew. Meaning we would  to help out," He nods in agreement. "Come on Thomas. We need to ask Mr.Chase where our bedrooms are." You motioned him to follow. But before you could walk away he said. "Cabins."  

"Pardon?"

"Cabins," he repeated. "They're called cabins. Not bedrooms." You were confused for a second but realised your mistake. "Right! Cabins! I forgot what they were called for a second there. My bad." Thomas then stopped leaning on the side of the boat and walked up to you. "Now, where has Mr.chase gone?" You both look around the boat to see only a few crew members on the docks. "Let's check the captain's quarters, maybe he'll be there talking to Captain Polliard." Thomas suggested. You simply nodded and followed him. The Captain's quarters are at the end of the hall. The hall was lit by candlelight and the light was evenly distributed throughout the hall. You and Thomas heard the laughter of drunken men on the left where the kitchen and dining room were, for the crew members. The Captain and first mate had their meals some where else you didn't know. 

Thomas knocked on the door, you both heard faint footsteps come nearer to the door to be answered by... the Captain. "Hello, what are you two doing here?" He questioned. "We came here to ask  you something." Thomas inquired . "Yes, well? Spit it out. What do you need?" The Captain replied sharply.  "We came here to ask you where Mr. Owen Chase is." You stated determinedly. Captain Polliard opened his mouth to answer but was cut off by the man you were looking for just a minute ago. "Ms. L/n, Mr. Nickerson. What are you two doing here at the Captain's quarters?" Mr. Chase asked.

"We came here looking for you to ask where our Cabins are." Thomas exaggerated the words cabins and gave you a playful grin reminding you of how you said, "Bedrooms" instead of "Cabins". "Oh, well that would be not problem! Since the two of you are the youngest and Ms. L/n is the only female, on the Essex will be sharing rooms." Mr. Chase remarked. "Alright. Thank you that was all the information we nee-." You were cut of by Thomas who chimed in with a, "Where is it? To be exact?" 

"It's the door nearest to the Captain's quarters, the one on the left." Mr.Chase answered with a smile on his face. "Thank you, again!" As you two were walking of you heard Thomas say, "Is our luggage inside?" You quickly, playfully scolded Thomas. "Thomas!" 

"Whaaaat?" 

"Stop being so curious." He snorted at your remark. "You not my dad!" 

"I may not be your dad but I am your mother! Stop this attitude young man!" You went with this childish act. "It's not a phase mom!" He practically shouted and "glared" at you. You did the same. 10 seconds go by and before you know it... you're both dying of laughter. Your neighbors were probably thinking... " What the hell are they laughing about?" But you guys didn't care.

Once your laughter died down you finally got a glimpse of your cabin. It had a wooden interior with both beds on the opposite of each other, your luggage was near your nightstand. The wood was a oak wood but with a slight dark tinge to it. It also had a coat hanger... That's nice.
