Stede just chuckled at Ed's comment, smiling down fondly at the house-cat of a man practically curled into his side. Perhaps it was better than his eyes were closed or he would have seen Stede run his teeth over his lip, dragging his eyes down the curve of the man's jawline. He was handsome, perhaps too handsome to be a pirate. Stede knew of women who would swoon for Edward Teach and he wasn't so sure he wouldn't swoon either.

If he was painfully disappointed in Ed moving his leg away, it was swiftly replaced by a numb panic at his head in Stede's lap instead. He had to squash down the shock of a shiver down his spine at how this felt - the warmth of his skin on Stede's thigh pervasive through his linen trousers. He would die if Ed were to see his reaction, possibly by Ed's own sword.
