Tom Holland Imagines

Like A Pirate? (Thomas N.)

You were reading a book on your bed when you heard the door knock. You ran downstairs and opened the door. You saw nothing at first but when you looked down, you saw a letter addressed from your boyfriend Thomas. When you opened it, it said to meet him at the park, which scared you at first as he rarely sent you letters that weren't cheesy pickup lines.

So now here you guys were, sitting on the swings at the top of the hill behind the town. You could tell that Thomas was nervous, so you just put your hand on top of his, making him look back at you and smile. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." You said trying to be comforting, but he just shook his head. "I have to, or else it'll be too late." He responded, only making you more nervous.

"I'm going on the Essex." He said firmly. He looked proud of it but you were confused. "Like the county? Don't you mean you're going to Essex?" You tried to correct him, but he burst out laughing. "No darling, it's a whaleship. I'm gonna catch whales with some big names." He said acting confident. "What, like a pirate?" You laughed. Sure, some people looked like pirates, and there were some at the time, but it just sounded like a myth. "I guess you could say that. Argh, I'm gonna sail the seven seas!" He said in a horrible pirate accent, causing you to get off of the swing, holding yourself up by leaning on the pole cause of how much you were laughing.

When it all silenced down, you got sad. "How long will you be gone for?" You looked down at the ground but heard Thomas get off the swing, holding your hand and intertwining your fingers. "I'm not sure. Some say it could take many months, some say a few years." He said quietly, breaking your heart. You know you're young, but you really couldn't survive long without him.

He noticed your silent figure and saw your eyes leaking tears. "Hey, hey, it's alright. I won't let anything happen. I'll make sure that every part of me will come back for you." He said, causing you to smile at him. You hugged him tightly, and he didn't even care that you were choking him. "You better be safe out there. Please just take care of yourself." You whispered in his neck.

He pulled away to just look in your eyes and smiled, "Anything for you, but I'm the best. They don't call me Blackbeard for nothing."
