Work Text:
It was quite clear that Izzy knew that Ed and Stede were fucking. Of course, Stede knew that Izzy and Ed were too, and he was quite all right with it. He knew as much as anyone on the ship that the first mate had to get railed every once in a while to keep him from being completely insufferable, and Ed had soon found out that Stede got off on hearing him talk about it. Although unusual by land standards, the arrangement worked for all of them.
What Izzy thought about the whole triangle situation, however, remained unclear. Sure, there was no doubt he knew what Ed and Stede did behind closed doors. They didn’t make a secret of it after all. And he clearly tolerated it to a certain extent, because he hadn’t left the ship or threatened to kill anyone (not very seriously, at least), even after months of his captains being together. Ed had assumed Izzy was just begrudgingly tolerating it, or perhaps trying to deny it. It did not change their arrangements though.
Or at least, not until one time.

Izzy was on his knees before him, cheeks already red from the hits to the face he’d received that evening, just the way he liked it. They were halfway through some argument, and Ed didn’t even remember what it had been about afterwards.
‘’You need to learn how to behave, Izzy’’, he’d said, expecting a classic ‘’make me’’ as a reply. But instead, Izzy looked at him and spit on the floor.
‘’Oh do I?’’, he said. ‘’Maybe you should just go and fuck Stede Bonnet if you want a pliant little bitch’’
Ed had effortlessly gone along with the direction of the conversation, as he always did when he was in this role. He grabbed Izzy by the chin and lowered his own face closer to his.
‘’Maybe I will’’, he said. ‘’Maybe I’ll leave you here and go back to the captains room. He’s waiting there for me, do you know that?’’
He felt Izzy shiver, and decided to push a little further.
‘’You like thinking about that, don’t you? Do you get off on knowing we’re in the same bed every night while you’re just a few doors away?’’
Izzy moaned, and Ed saw him reach between his legs to rub himself through his pants.
‘’I bet you do, you little freak. I bet you touch yourself to the thought of him fucking my mouth, and you’d wish you could take my fucking place’’
‘’Oh god’’, Izzy stammered, and Ed realized he’d come right there and then.
-
‘’So you’re saying he likes to think about us making love?’’
‘’Well, I doubt he’d say it like that’’, Ed said. ‘’But yes.’’
Stede took a sip of his evening tea, and ran his fingers through Eds hair, who was laying on his lap on the couch.
‘’We could indulge him, if you want. I’m sure it would be fun.’’
Ed smiled.
‘’You’d look hot fucking him, babe’’
‘’That, and it would make things a lot easier. So you don’t have to take care of him all on your own.’’
‘’Hmmm, that’d be nice, yeah’’, Ed said, leaning into Stede’s touch.
‘’I’m going to want to negotiate with him about how we go about things, though’’
Ed sighed. ‘’That aint gonna be easy. I never managed to wring a boundary out of him, that’s for sure.’’
He watched up, to see a thoughtful look on Stede’s face, who brought his hand down to stroke his cheek
‘’Don’t worry. I think I can find a way to make this work.’’

Izzy was busy polishing his dagger when someone knocked on his door. He ignored it, and kept working. There was a silence that lasted a few seconds, before he heard knocking again, accompanied with the sound of Lucius scraping his throat.
‘’The fuck you want?’’, he asked, his dagger still in his hand when Lucius opened the door.
‘’Well that’s a warm welcome’’, he said when he saw the weapon, and leaned against the doorpost.
‘’Get on with it’’
‘’Captains want to see you in their room’’
‘’Captains? Both of them?’’
‘’Yes, you heard me right.’’
‘’Why?’’
There was a mischievous smile on Lucius’ face when he answered.
‘’Oh, I have no idea’’
Izzy sighed and put his dagger away, ignoring Lucius’s muted giggling when he walked past him. He knew the drill by now, and his mouth was already watering in anticipation as he approached the captains quarters. He knew he’d been lashing out at the crew more than usual, and Blackbeard calling him over to the room was the standard prelude to the punishment he was always craving.
But why ‘’captains’’? If this was going to be some talking it through as a crew shit he was seriously going to go wild.
With a sigh he entered the room, without knocking.
‘’You called?’’, he said while still walking through the door. A feeling of dread washed over him when he saw Stede sitting on the bed in his stupid yellow robe, but it was quickly evaporated when Blackbeard appeared from the edge of his vision, grabbing him by the neck and slamming against the wall. The force of it pushed the air out of Izzy’s body, along with most of his coherent thoughts. There was just the pain of his captains fingers on his throat, and the pressure of his leather clad knee pressed up between his legs. Izzy’s breath hitched, hungry for what was to come. This was a good start, so good that he wasn’t even thinking about -
‘’Ahem?’’
Stede Bonnets voice interrupted his trance.
‘’Do you know why you’re here, Izzy?’’
‘’Shut the fuck up’’, he snarled, and felt Blackbeard’s hand drag him forward.
‘’On your knees’’, he said, and pushed Izzy to the ground a few feet away from the bed.
‘’I believe you’ve been acting up’’, Stede said, and looked up at Blackbeard. ‘’Hasn’t he?’’
‘’Oh, he has’’, Blackbeard answered, letting go of Izzy’s neck and taking a step back. Izzy leaned in his direction, almost involuntarily, but Blackbeard shook his head.
‘’Stay’’, he said simply, and sat down next to Stede on the bed.
‘’Whatever you’re planning, fucking get on with it’’, Izzy said, and Stede clicked his tongue.
‘’So impatient. You see, I know the kind of…arrangement you have with Ed, and I’m sure it works for you, but today we’re going to do things a bit differently. If you want to get out, you may do so now.’’
‘’Fuck you’’
But he did not make a move to leave.
‘’That’s what I thought’’, Stede said, and nodded at Blackbeard, who got up.
‘’Take your clothes off, Iz’’, he said, before walking over to the auxiliary closet to retrieve something. Izzy begrudgingly complied, feeling strangely vulnerable with Stede’s eyes on him. He took his vest and his blouse off first, and threw them aside. He was halfway through wrestling off his pants when Blackbeard returned, holding a rolled up piece of rope and some sort of short leather buckle. He looked down at Izzy as he got on his knees again, now fully naked in the familiar position. It was strange to be exposed like this while Stede and Blackbeard were still fully dressed. He felt Stede’s eyes run over his body, over his scarred chest and his thighs, and resting between his legs. Usually, Izzy felt no shame. He was at ease when getting roughed up and used. But now? He had barely even been touched, and he was already getting wet. He felt his face turn red, the flush of shame extending down over his neck to his chest.
Blackbeard crouched down next to him, and tied his arms securely behind his back, not wrist to wrist but the entirety of his forearms together. He’d been tied up in strain positions before, but this was different. Instead of painful, this was just snug and secure. If he was a different kind of man he might even have called it comforting.
‘’Open up’’, Blackbeard said, and Izzy finally saw what the buckle thing was: it was a sturdy leather ball with two straps attached to it to form a gag. He opened his mouth obediently, and suppressed the urge to bite Blackbeard’s fingers when he carefully pushed the gag between his teeth, just to get a reaction out of him.
Blackbeard stepped back and admired his work.
‘’That’ll shut him up’’, he said, and Stede nodded.
‘’I think he likes having something in his mouth like that. Maybe he would be calmer if we just gagged him all day?’’
The words went straight down to Izzy’s cock. Images of himself ran through his mind, gagged and tied up on the deck while the crew was working around him, his mouth filled and his body exposed for everyone to see. A muffled moan escaped him.
‘’Ah, I think you’re right’’, Blackbeard said, and leaned in to give Stede a quick kiss on his jaw. The gesture was sickeningly sweet. ‘’We could try that one day. But let’s move on now, ok?’’
‘’Impatient, are we? You can be so needy sometimes’’, Stede said, and started unbuttoning Blackbeards linen shirt, who let out a soft moan and helped Stede out of his robe. The realization of what was going to happen started to dawn on Izzy. His captains were about to have sex right in front of him, while he was ignored on the side, unable to even touch himself, unable to do anything but watch.
On the one hand, it was mortifying.
On the other hand, it was arousing enough to make his head spin.
He grumbled something behind the gag, not even knowing what he was trying to say. Both his captains were naked by now, and Stede pushed Blackbeard back against the bed, kissing his neck and chest as Blackbeard stroked Stede’s cock. Stede’s hands found their way between Blackbeards legs, curling two fingers inside him while rubbing his cock with his thumb.
Izzy watched in a state of horror and arousal, drooling around his gag as he saw Blackbeard throw his head back and moan, while Stede bit down around his nipple.
‘’Hmm, you like it when I do that, don’t you?’’, he asked, and Blackbeard moaned again as an answer.
‘’How do you want me today?’’, Stede asked, while still rubbing his swollen cock. It made Izzy painfully aware of how turned on he was, his cock straining for any friction and dripping wet.
‘’I wanna ride you…’’, Blackbeard gasped, slowly pushing Stede back and climbing on top of him. Izzy saw him grind against Stede’s dick while still holding it in his hand, before lining it up with his entrance and sinking down on it in one go. He sat still on it for a moment, his thighs trembling as he adjusted to being filled, before starting to ride him feverishly.
Izzy was desperate at this point, dizzy from arousal without any way to satisfy himself, all while his captains were fucking each other silly without even looking at him.
Blackbeard was bouncing on Stede’s cock by now, the sounds of skin on skin and heavy breathing filling the room.
‘’Ed, darling, I’m almost there’’, Stede gasped, and Blackbeard got off him, leaning forward to kiss him deeply while furiously jerking him off and grinding against him.
Stede came on his stomach with a strangled gasp, with Blackbeard following only seconds later, before collapsing onto his partners chest, both of them panting as they recovered from their orgasm.
And Izzy was still there, untouched and ignored. He felt so pent up that he could almost come without being touched. Almost, because no matter how much he wanted release, he simply couldn’t get it.
‘’Ah, he is waiting so patiently’’, Stede said. ‘’Should we call him over?’’
‘’I don’t know. Do you think he’s learned his lesson?’’, Blackbeard asked, looking down at Izzy for the first time since gagging him.
Izzy squirmed desperately, trying to beg to be touched but unable to speak because of the gag. Stede smiled at him, enjoying his suffering for a while, before sitting on the edge of the bed again.
‘’You may get up now, Izzy’’
With wobbly legs, Izzy tried to get up, barely managing to stay on his feet. Stede smiled at him, and pat his leg.
‘’Sit down here, please. You can get yourself off.’’
Izzy didn’t have to be told twice. In any other circumstance, Stede’s tone would have made him furious, but now he hurried forward and sat down on his leg. The sudden friction after nothing for so long was too much. He desperately rode Stede’s leg, only lasting a few seconds before a blinding orgasm wrecked his body. His legs gave in, and he collapsed against Stede’s chest, panting behind his gag. He could do nothing but lie there, completely blissed out, trembling and without a thought in his mind.
After a moment, he felt Blackbeard’s hands on his shoulders, carefully laying him down on the bed, his chest pressed to his back. Stede laid down with him as well, so Izzy was sandwiched between the two of them. He felt Blackbeard’s hands tug on the rope around his arms to untie him, and he shook his head vigorously, somehow filled with dread at the thought of them being removed.
Stede ran a finger over the strap of his gag.
‘’Do you want to keep this as well?’’, he asked, and Izzy nodded.
‘’That’s ok. Let’s keep you like this for a while then.’’
Blackbeard let go of the rope, and Izzy finally felt himself relax. His head was pressed against Stede’s shoulder, and although he would usually rather die than accept affection from this shithead of a man, he didn’t care right now. Behind him, Blackbeard shifted, and Izzy felt his hands in his hair. But instead of pulling it harshly, as he had done many times before, he was simply playing with it, and scratching Izzy’s scalp gently.
Somehow, the gesture hit him like a fist in the stomach, and he gasped audibly, before tears sprung in his eyes without warning. He simply couldn’t stop himself from sobbing, his body convulsing with it. The softness of it all was too much to handle. It was almost like blasphemy, he thought, for a wretched man like him to be touched with such gentleness. He felt Stede caress his face and leaned into it, while Blackbeard kept scratching his head. The simple touches felt like electricity, and he realized distantly that he could come again, just from this.
Stede apparently realized it too, because he reached between Izzy’s legs to rub him off.
His second orgasm hit him with a quiet gasp, and his sobs had gone down to slightly uneven breathing.
He felt his body settle down after that, heavy and completely fucked out. The bodies pressed up against him kept him warm, and he felt himself slowly drift off to sleep. Stede and Blackbeard made another attempt to undo his bounds, and he allowed it this time.
‘’You did well today, Izzy’’, Stede said. ‘’Tomorrow, we will have tea with the three of us, and we’ll have a good long talk about your needs and desires. But for now, lets sleep.’’
‘’Fuck you’’, Izzy whispered.
But his voice was without its usual bite this time, and he knew he wouldn’t refuse.
