Summary
“Are you alright? What were you thinking?” His eyebrows were drawn together, he seemed more concerned than happy that Lance was here, but even still his hands were on Lance’s cheeks, tender and like he was holding something precious.
“I wasn’t. I just wanted to be free,” Lance admitted.
Lance felt the ship rocking under his feet, could hear the pirate jargon being yelled over the deck by the crew members, the compass and map on the desk in the center of the cabin reminding Lance of his old ship. He missed his ship, but he was almost there.
He could almost taste it.

Summary
“If I were to make you part of our crew, what would you do for me in return?” Keith seemed to be the conniving one - at least Lance was upfront about trying to finagle his way out of this. Lance’s eyes swept over Keith’s form, taking in the way his shirt was too tight over his muscular shoulders, his hair draping over his neck in disarray, his sleeves rolled up to reveal toned arms.
“What wouldn’t I do for you in return?” Lance whispered. Keith looked taken aback, flush quick to make its way from his cheeks down his neck. He opened his mouth to say something, then closed it, like a dehydrated fish lost for words.
“Keith, we’re going.” Shiro passed by in a flurry of overcoat, placing his hat on his head upon his exit. Keith swallowed thickly and pushed himself away, finally deciding on saying nothing as he fled in a hurry after his captain.

Summary
They locked eyes - clear blue meeting stormy grey. Lance gasped and backed up, tripping over his own feet and landing on his rear as he tried to back away. The pirate sheathed his sword, limping over on uneasy legs, and then handed Lance a flask.
“ ‘fer yer knees, kid.” He ruffled Lance’s hair, as if it was nothing, and then drew his sword again and began to rampage, joining his pirate colleagues.
Lance’s sister ran over to him, asking if he was alright in rapid Spanish, grabbing his hand and tugging him to the slaves quarters. He continued to watch until she drew the blinds.
Lance saw ships all the time - carrying cargo, carrying people (which was mostly considered the same thing), carrying tools… but never before had he seen a pirate ship.
Immediately the sea called for him.
