Chapter 3
Gil woke up, holding Harry close. He was ever so slightly taller than Harry, which made spooning him an ideal position. Gil also enjoyed shoving his face in Harry’s hair… it was a nice sensory experience. Harry had gotten used to it after a while, which made him the optimal person for early-morning cuddles. So they stayed like that for… maybe an hour. It was per their usual routine. Gil and Harry both loved having some sort of routine- and this was the perfect routine for them. So, when Harry began to stir, Gil was mildly upset- but knew it happened every day. So he gave Harry a little pat on the head, earning him a grumbled
“Stop fucking around… oh. Mornin’ Gil.” He turned over to look at Gil. Gil gave him a goofy grin in response. The two pirates held each other until the sun rose above the horizon, and it was only when Uma slammed the door open that the two climbed over each other in order to stand at attention for their Captain. But Uma didn’t care. She plopped down on the stolen mats-turned-bed, punching a pillow before she plopped her head onto Gil’s chest. Harry was sprawled out on the floor, before he hopped up and joined the two.
“They have the nerve to let Grimhilde out, but they can’t let a couple of innocent Villain Kids out!?” Uma scoffed.
“Aye, it is quite unfair… but they’re reaching the end of the V.K.s still on the Isle, soooo~ I suppose-”
“They’re not going fast enough, Harry!” Uma exclaimed. She was clearly agitated. And when Uma was upset, it was hard to calm her down. So Harry held up his hands in defense and opted for joining the other two in cuddling.
“I’m just so fed up with all this-!” Uma slapped her arms down in defeat.
Gil just pulled the two pirates closer to his chest, plopping his face on Harry’s head as Uma snuggled into his chest and Harry wrapped an arm around her. It was how they usually cuddled- and how they usually spent uneventful mornings in Auradon. If anyone asked them about it, however, it never happened. The rest of their crew had learned this the hard way.
“I just wish they’d lose the ‘custody’ part of kids staying on the Isle! Everyone still there is just an unchanging asshole- so why do their kids have to have the same fate!?” Uma huffed out. Uma had many strong opinions- one of the strongest being
Instead of a response, Uma was just given a squeeze from Gil and Harry snuggling into her chest.
“Oi! Cap’n! ‘Tah kids ah’ comin’ o’er soon!” Jack Jukes ran in- tattooed face grinning wildly.
Uma shoved Harry and Gil away, fixing her hat and striding over.
“The kids? The- the villain kids. Correct?”
“Yeh! ‘Tah Prince an’ ‘is mate ah’ goin’ nea’ ‘tah docs an’ ‘ah t’ought i’d be a good idea ‘tah… pay ‘em a vi’it?” Jack wiggled xer eyebrows mischievously.
“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You’re telling me that they’re taking the V.K.s near our territory and didn’t even think to tell us!? Are they trying to keep ‘em away from us!?” Uma exclaimed angrily. She knew full well that they were going to be passing through the unofficial ‘pirate territory,’ but the fact that the prissy Prince and Princess didn’t even tell sea that they were passing through? Mal knew better than anyone that Uma’s only interest in the Isle was the V.K.s still on it- and didn’t they have a truce!?
Whatever.
“Let’s go pay them a visit, then. Whaddya say, boys?”
Harry’s grin and Gil’s excitement was all the further incentive she needed.
