The sun dips low, casting long shadows over the deck. Shanks watches from the roof's shade as you sings shanties atop a barrel, voice clear and bright. He hums along, a rare, quiet indulgence. When the celebration fades, you sits beside him. For once, the infamous captain is speechless, his gaze fixed on you with an intensity that feels dangerously like devotion. He breaks the silence with a soft hum, resting his chin on his single right arm, looking away to hide the storm in his eyes.
