Chapter Text
“Zehahaha! What're ya doing here Mea?”
Looking up from where I stood on one of the giant logs of the bow, I barely looked at Teach before drawing my gaze back to the sea.
“Watching… Waiting…”
I can feel his amusement as he waits for more.
“...”
I can feel his raised brow as his patience slowly grows thin.
“...”
“Hmmm…”
We heard a splash and I jumped into the sea without thinking.
I already know who it is.
I resurface not a minute later with the giant form of Burgess against my back.
I turn to look at Teach who stood where I left him. There was a smile on his face.
And a glint of the sun in his eye.
“As expected of my swimmer…”
I don't know if I'll ever get used to that smile.
“Ya truly something special ain't ya, Mea-chan?”
Don’t use my name you bastard.
She never opens her mouth.
She never says out loud how much she hates this.
But she doesn’t need to.
Teach knows.
This is what she deserves. And Teach looks forward to every second of it.
