spellhorn asked for pirates, any pirates!
Halloween Drabble 39
"I hate this city," Duo muttered under his breath, dodging as the tavern behind him threw a drunken patron out into the street.
"I know," Heero tugged his hat down a little lower. "But they insisted on meeting here."
"It's all nonsense you know." Duo rolled his eyes. "No self-respecting pirate would bury treasure anywhere. He'd spend it."
"You know it, and I know it. But these people are willing to pay for a trip round to look for it."
"And they can't just hire a ship?"
"Jay said they wanted real pirates to help them find it."
"Right. More like they want to capture some 'real pirates' and hang them. Besides, we aren't real pirates- we're smugglers."
"Like they'll know the difference?"
"We don't even have a jolly roger!"
"Sure we do. Howard said we could fly his colors."
"I'm not flying his colors- do you know how many people want him dead?"
"Considering I used to be one of them? Of course I do."
"I'm still not sure why you didn't just slice his head off."
Heero reached out and grabbed Duo's arm, yanking him into an alleyway and pinning him against the wall. "You know damn well why I didn't," he murmured against Duo's throat. "You made that deal with me- spare his life and I could have you. Regretting it now?"
"No," Duo tilted his head back just enough. "Never- it's just... this damn job is making me nervy- and we haven't even started yet."
"Howard vouched for them." Heero's fingers slid under Duo's shirt as he nibbled on Duo's jaw line. "We pull this off and we can get out of the smuggling business... retire to someplace quiet... buy a big bed..."
"I'm convinced..." Duo gasped. "I am. Let's go meet them and get this done... and then find a bed..."
"Who needs a bed?" Heero growled, but he let his lover go. The sooner this was over, the better as far as he was concerned...
