Treasure (Jim Hawkins x Reader)

•

"Morphy, we gotta make tracks." Silver says as he untied another rope that held the longboat he was on. "You never quit do you?" Silver turns his head to meet Jim, standing above the longboat. "Ah, Jimbo." Silver chuckles. "I was just making sure the longboat was nice and secure." He reties the rope. Jim hops on the longboat and hums before tightening the rope. "Well, that should hold it." Silver laughs weakly. "I taught you too well lad...if you don't mind, we plan on avoiding prison. Little morphy here." Morph floats onto Silver's palms. "He's a free spirit, being in a cage...it would break his little heart." Jim pets the pink blond head with his finger. "Say, why don't you come with us lad?" Silver asks. "You and me, full of ourselves and no ties to anyone!"

"You know, when I first got on this ship, I would have taken that offer in an instant." Jim began. "But, I met this old cyborg, and he taught me that, I could chart my own course. And that's exactly what I'm going to do." Jim tells Silver with confidence. "And what do you see ahead for you?" Silver asks, smiling warmly. "A future." Jim came to a conclusion. "Why...look at you. Glowing like a solar fire. You're something special Jim." Silver's words made Jim tear up. "You're going to rattle the stars, you are." Jim hugged Silver while crying gently into his gut, Silver embraced Jim in his arms. After a few seconds he pulled away, sniffling once. "Heh, got a bit of grease in this old cyborg eye." Silver wiped a tear away. He looked at Morph, who was as equally sad. He let his head before speaking. "Morph, I have one last job for you. I'll need you to keep an eye on this pup. Will you do that for me?" Morph have a tiny salute before flying to Jim, and nuzzling him. The longboat Silver was on lowered from the ship. "And one last thing! Here, for you mother, to rebuild that inn of hers!" Silver tossed some treasure up to Jim, who caught it.

"Stay out of trouble, you old scalawag." Jim chuckles. "Why Jimbo, when have I ever done otherwise?" Silver laughs as he soars off into the starry sky.

Jim walked back up on deck, Y/n hurried to his side. "Jim, where's Silver?" She asks. "You know how he is, I don't think he'll ever be caught." Jim chuckles. Y/n shakes her head but smiles anyway. "Are you ready to go back to your home?" She asks. "I think so. My mother must be worried out of her mind." Said Jim. "What about you?" Y/n leans on the wall near by. "Eh, don't know. Maybe I'll just do what I did before. Roam around here and there." Jim looks over at her concerned. "That sounds a little...awful." Y/n laughs. "Yeah." After a few seconds of silence Jim slowly held onto Y/n's hand. She gasps slightly and looks over at him. "I think I have a better idea." Jim gives her a smile. Y/n gives him a curious look. "And what's that?" She asks.

"I'm kind of a slacker back home. It wouldn't be so bad if I had someone there to keep in check. Make sure I don't sneak off from work." Y/n was starting to get an idea of what he was leading on. "Yeah?" She tilts her head. "That does sound like a good idea. But, said someone might think they're intruding." Jim rolled his eyes. "Come on, just say yes and stay with me." Y/n blushes slightly and laughs. "Alright, I'll make sure the both of us is slacking off then. And we still have a solar suffer to make." She reminds him while smirking. "Sounds like a plan." Said Jim.
