SWORDS CROSSED ON SUNDAY
BY:  MISSFORTUNE

***

Will looked up as the door to the shop opened. The newly dubbed
Commodore Edward Norrington stepped inside dressed smartly in his red
uniform with his new sword at his side.

"Good afternoon Commodore." Will grinned as he stepped away from his
work mule whom he'd been feeding and petting on its nose.

"Good afternoon William, how are you today?" Norrington closed the
door and started to remove his red coat.

"I am ready for our next lesson, as always." Will grinned as he
stepped over to take Norrington's coat, hat and powdered wig. The
Commodore's real hair was revealed, dark brown in color and pulled
back into a tight ribbon to keep it from escaping from beneath the
wig. Will lay the items aside and turned back to Norrington.

"It's a pleasure to have such an eager student. Are you sure that you
will not join the navy under my command? We could use a few more good
men such as yourself."

"I enjoy what I do now Commodore." Will grinned as he picked up one
of his many swords.

"You're enjoying airing out my new title I see."

"You did earn it sir."

"As that may be, it took me long enough to try to get you to call me
Edward, though I know you won't, you'll be calling me Norri won't
you." Norrington chuckled at Will's nickname for him. "At any rate,
we'll not be returning to such trite formalities Mr. Turner."
Norrington smiled at the blacksmith. "And on the subject of swords, I
must compliment your excellent workmanship on the sword presented to
me yesterday at my promotion ceremony." Norrington drew the sword in
question from its sheath.

"But it wasn't-" Will stopped as Norrington held his hand up.

"Let's not pretend. We both know that it is you that does the work
around here and not your master. At the tavern as usual?" Norrington
looked at the empty chair that Will's master usually occupied, most
often drunk.

"Yes, he's out at the tavern again." Will frowned.

"You really shouldn't support his habit, by all rights the money is
yours Will." Norrington frowned at the youth.

"I know, but he is still my master. He's taken care of me all these
years, even if it wasn't that well."

"It wasn't just him. Governor Swann paid for your apprenticeship here
as I have come every Sunday since you were ten to teach you
swordsmanship."

"I know. I owe so many people so much."

"Do not think of it in such a way. You owe me nothing and nor do you
owe the Governor. He did it out of kindness and expects nothing back
except for you to turn out as a proper young man as you have proven
to be."

"I try my best," Will admitted.

"I know you do." Norrington smiled.

"I am sorry that I was unable to attend your promotion ceremony.
There was so much to do here in the shop."

"Think nothing of it, I know you would have been there if you could
and this fine blade more than made up for your lack of appearance."
Norrington held the sword out at ready.

"I am glad that you approve. I tried to make a sword worthy of your
new title." Will grinned as he held out his sword as well.

"And you have more than succeeded. Now on with our lessons." They
crossed their swords together before stepping off into an involved
and intricate set of motions, each matching the other perfectly, the
sound of their blades ringing through the shop. It was more of a spar
than any instruction seeing as Will had long since learned to match
Norrington in his skills. It was a tradition that they had held for
many years. At the age of ten Will had asked the Commodore, then only
an Lieutenant, to teach him swordsmanship so that he could fight off
pirates. It had become their tradition to have lessons or spar every
Sunday that Norrington was in the port and it had so far never been
broken.

Norrington feinted and attempted to catch Will off guard as he had
done the week before, but the boy easily fended off the
attack. "Good, you fell for that one last week, but it seems you
remember it well now."

"Yes, I like having my head attached to my shoulders thank you." Will
grinned back as he parried and tried to back the Commodore up a few
paces.

"Yes, I quite like it there as well so it is good that you learn to
keep it there rather than lose it to the first blade that challenges
you."

"Speaking of challenging, I heard rumors that there was a pirate in
port snooping around the Dauntless. Is there any truth to them?" Will
danced away from a thrust to his side, bringing his sword around
towards Norrington's head.

"Well, there was an interesting character wandering about on the
boat, but it seemed he was no more than a colorful drunkard. After
waltzing about for a bit he left for the nearest tavern. I believe he
left on another ship this morning." Norrington blocked Will's blade
and drove him back.

"And Miss Elizabeth? I hear that she also had an adventure
yesterday." Will halted Norrington's forward movement and began to
circle the other man their blades sliding over each other lightly,
readying to be put to use.

"Indeed. We were standing on the battlements in conversation when she
fainted into my arms. That fashion from England was bound so tight
she couldn't breathe. She was quite angry when she came about,
claiming she'd never wear a style such as that ever again and that
she'd rather wear men's trousers than any dress that came out of the
English court."

Will laughed at the thought of the fair Elizabeth dressed in his work
clothes. "It sounds just like her. She was never satisfied with being
a proper lady. She's a wildcat that one is."

"Indeed, I despair along with her father in ever finding her a
husband that she won't cuckold to death. Are you sure that you won't
marry her? She's taken a liking to you." Norrington grinned.

Will shook his head. "You know that I could never marry her. We are
almost like siblings and you know that my interest lies elsewhere
sir." Will gave him a look of mock insult.

"She would marry you if for nothing more than you would provide her
with the freedom she craves." Norrington pressed forward, their
blades ringing out.

"I could not deny her of course but you well know that I would never
do such a thing." Will suddenly found himself backed into a wall, his
blade holding off Norrington's just barely.

"It seems that I have caught you once again." Norrington grinned as
he let down his blade.

"You say that as if it's anything new." Will grinned also lowering
his sword.

"Yes, you do seem to overly enjoy being caught." Norrington moved
closer to Will, their chests pressing together. He brushed some stray
brown hairs from Will's face as he moved in slowly, kissing the young
blacksmith tenderly.

Will let his sword drop to the dirt floor as he put his arms around
Norrington's neck, kissing him back. "Only when it's you who catches
me." Will murmured as he pulled away.

Norrington gave him a mock serious glare. "That as it may be, I
thought I taught you better care for your swords."

"Yes Commodore." Will replied in a meek voice, his face wide open as
if afraid, but a sparkle in his eyes showing his amusement as
Norrington stepped away. Will retrieved his sword, setting it aside
with a little more reverence.

"Cheeky lad." Norrington smiled as he put his sword back in its
sheath and removed the sword belt, hanging it up on a peg beside his
other belongings.

"But you would have me no other way right Commodore?" Will asked as
he sauntered up to the other man.

"Oh, I would have you many ways, but I would prefer you in bed on
this fine Sunday afternoon." Norrington wrapped his arms around the
youth.

"Then on my bed you shall have me as I find that I prefer it to being
bent over an anvil and hammered." Will laughed heartily as he began
to lead the Commodore through the shop to the small rooms in the
back, one of which was his and contained only a sturdy bed and an old
desk. Will plopped down on the bed and stripped out of his shirt,
using it to wipe away the sweat on his face. He kicked off his shoes
and stockings and sprawled out on the bed, turning to look at
Norrington.

Norrington was slowly slipping out of his shirt and setting it aside
on the desk. He sat on the bed beside Will and bent over to remove
his shoes and stockings. Will's hand slid over his spine as he
hunched over. He straightened and turned to the younger man. Will was
watching him hungrily and as Norrington leaned in, they kissed again.
Will's kiss was full of pent up passion as his tongue battled with
Norrington's. The Commodore broke the kiss as he climbed fully onto
the bed, his body covering Will's as he lay atop his lover.

Norrington ran a finger over Will's high cheekbones, tracing the
handsome lines of his face before returning the kisses that Will was
bestowing upon his fingers. His fingers threaded in Will's hair as he
angled the youth's mouth and worked it over thoroughly, leaving the
young blacksmith panting for breath. He pulled back and looked at the
slightly glazed look Will always got when he got lost in the moment.
Norrington smiled at his young lover and slid down the youth's body,
his hands roaming over the strong plains of his chest. His strong
fingers pinched lightly at a dusky nipple, bringing Will's gaze
snapping into focus.

Will looked up at his lover and licked his lips. Norrington kept
Will's eye as he lowered his head and took one of Will's nipples into
his mouth, sucking gently. Will moaned softly as he watched
Norrington. The older man had always been a considerate lover. He was
always careful with Will, taking his time and never failing to
satisfy him and leave him content even when they were both mindless
with passion. Norrington liked to heat him up slowly like building a
fire into a hot blaze. Will usually had no objections, but he was
young and eager and he arched up into Norrington, his hands pulling
at the ribbon that bound his lover's hair.

Norrington looked up and chuckled. "Are you in a hurry Will?" He
leaned in and dragged his tongue down Will's flat stomach. The
muscles rippled beneath his tongue.

Will's eyes fluttered shut. "I haven't seen you since last Sunday,
all the preparations for your promotion kept you away." Will almost
pouted as he looked down at his lover.

"It was only seven days. And we saw each other in passing twice. It
is not as if I spent a month at sea." Norrington's fingers played
with the lacings of Will's pants.

"I know, but you were in the port, I just didn't get to see you." He
made a tragic face and sighed as Norrington began to slide his pants
down. Will shifted and allowed his lover to get rid of the
troublesome material between them.

"You sound like a spoiled child Will." Norrington laid the pants
aside and turned back to look at Will stretched out before him.
Will's young body was strong and lean with only a few scars that came
with his trade as well as a few training accidents. He leaned in and
kissed a long scar on Will's hip. It had been the result of an
accident in their training. It hadn't been particularly life
threatening, but it had bled a lot and taken some time to heal. He
kissed the scar as if in apology for marring the beautiful skin.

"I can't help it if I want you all to myself." Will sighed as
Norrington began his little ritual of kissing his training scars.

"You could, you just don't want to." Norrington teased as he suckled
here and there, but avoided Will's erection.

"Norri," Will whined.

"If you missed me so much, I have to make up for the loss don't I?"
Norrington lapped at Will's bellybutton.

Will squirmed beneath his lover's attentions. "No! I want you now."
Will demanded tugging on Norrington's arm.

"So petulant young Will," Norrington chuckled as he moved up and bit
lightly at Will's pouting lip. The bite progressed into a kiss and
Will rubbed himself against his lover, thrusting his hips up into
Norrington's. Norrington pressed back, but in a slow rolling motion
compared to Will's quick thrusts. Will moaned and let his head fall
back against the pillow. Norrington followed him, giving his neck a
nibble. As Will arched into him, his arms wrapped around Norrington's
broad shoulders and his fingers dug into the firm muscle there. Will
whimpered and tried to thrust harder.

"Shh, I will take care of you Will." Norrington brushed Will's hair
out of his eyes, staring down at his younger lover. "Just relax." He
removed Will's arms from his shoulder and moved back. He stood and
pulled a small bottle out of the desk. He handed it to Will as he
removed his pants and laid them over the desk. Will had eagerly
uncorked the bottle and poured the spicy scented oil into his hands.
He put his hand down and began to probe his own entrance. Norrington
stood over him and looked down in amusement. "I can see that you are
very eager."

Will nodded as he began to stretch himself. He couldn't bear a long
drawn out lovemaking. He'd missed his lover and had been frustrated
with not being able to see him or even attend his promotion ceremony.
Norrington sat down on the bed, taking Will's oiled hands in his own,
rubbing them together to collect the slick oil. He kissed the back of
Will's hand and began to insert his finger into Will instead,
searching out Will's prostate. Will wriggled and gasped as Norrington
found the spot and brushed it. Norrington inserted another finger and
despite Will's protests stretched him very slowly and thoroughly. The
younger man was a whimpering limp pile as Norrington finally spread
the oil over his own weeping erection.

"Are you ready?" Norrington asked, lifting Will's face up to meet his.

"Yes, yes!" Will wrapped his legs around his lover sure that he was
going mad with need. "Just do it! I want you! Norri!" Will's mouth
fell open as Norrington slid into him with a quick thrust.

"Are you all right?" Norrington nuzzled Will's neck as he rested in
his lover, giving him time to adjust to the intrusion.

"Ah! Yes!" Will nodded, despite the tingling sting. His lover was
well endowed and was very cautious about it, but Will loved the
feeling of Norrington inside him. He loved being filled and whole as
he'd never been. His life had been full of loss and absences, but not
with Norri in it. Now he had someone that cared for him. He wrapped
his arms around Norrington's shoulders, holding him tightly.
Norrington lifted his head and kissed Will gently, their tongues
sliding together lazily.

While Will was distracted, Norrington thrust gently. Will moaned
softly as his lover began to set the pace, but he wasn't satisfied
with the slow drawn out torture. He wanted more.

"Norri, go faster. Please." Will pulled his lover close, thrusting up.

"Hungry whelp," Norrington murmured as he took a firm hold of Will
and managed to roll them both over and into a sitting position. Will
stared at him from where his head rested on his lover's chest. "You
want faster, you may set the pace." He sat up and set his hands
firmly on Will's waist. Will licked his lips and nodded as he rocked
in Norrington's lap, his eyes fluttering shut at how much deeper his
lover pressed from this position. Norrington smiled at the blissful
expression on Will's face. He rolled his hips up and drew a groan
from his lover.

Will rocked back on his lover's erection, carefully lifting himself
from Norrington's lap and then sliding back down, his hips gently
guided by his lover's hands. Despite his earlier demands for speed
Will took a few moments to savor the depth of the slow thrust and the
drawn out pleasure. As soon as he was seated in his lover's lap he
repeated the process, only speeding up as he quickly rode his lover,
moaning as Norrington let a hand slide across his erection. He
grabbed onto Norrington's shoulders to steady himself as he threw his
head back.

He moved rocked against his lover, crying out when Norrington pushed
his hips up. Norrington's hand moved slowly over Will's erection in a
counterpoint to their motion. Will felt as if his senses were
overloading with the hard thrusts so deep inside of him and the
gentle stroking designed to send him over the edge. His fingers
tightened on his lover's shoulders as his thighs began to shake and
soon he was crying out, his head tossing back as he came. Will
tightened around Norrington and the older man groaned and thrust up
quickly, drawing delighted whimpers from Will as he brushed across
his prostate. Norrington's thrusts grew erratic just before he came
and Will's name escaped his lips as a groan while he held his lover
tightly and filled him.

Will melted limply against Norrington, their sweaty chests sticking
together as Will wrapped his arms around Norrington and rested his
head on his shoulder. Panting to catch his breath, Norrington cradled
Will and stroked his hair as he murmured sweet nonsensical words in
his ear. Will nuzzled him and slowly Norrington shifted them so that
he was stretched out on the bed and Will sprawled across his chest.
Will ran his fingers through the dark curls of hair that peppered his
lover's muscled chest. Norrington watched him with a satisfied grin.

"Happy now?" He asked.

"Very," Will nodded.

"Now how to spend the rest of this lovely Sunday afternoon?"

"Right here, in bed, with me." Will nuzzled him.

"And what happened to our sword practice then?" Norrington looked
down at Will with an amused glint in his eyes.

"We've already crossed swords twice today, but I wouldn't object to a
little more practice." Will grinned naughtily as he rolled his hips
against his lover's. Norrington chuckled and grinned back, hugging
Will close and taking his mouth in a steamy kiss.

"Then practice you shall have young Will." Norrington promised as he
rolled Will beneath him and prepared to spend the rest of the day in
bed.

The End
