For years, Baekhyunâs voice would make Chanyeol get livid, fits of rage created by the taunting words of the other pirate. He thought he was so good, so talented, so great in their field, and Chanyeol simply couldnât handle the otherâs display of cockiness. It bothered, put him off, and fueled him anger. It was a pity they didnât run into each other often, Chanyeolâs interests and expertise different than Baekhyunâs.Â
Any other time, the young pirate would be fuming with rage at the otherâs words, but now that he sees Baekhyun behind bars, locked and forced into the small cell of his ship, he doesnât feel threatened. He also doesnât feel that incredible sense of satisfaction he thought he would. Taking down Baekhyunâs ship and crew should be celebrated, an accomplishment and a victory for Chanyeol. But heâs left with a strange taste in his mouth, knowing that heâs going to be handing the young man to his imminent death in just a few weekâs time.Â
Well, a job was a job.Â
âHas anyone told you that you talk too much?â He asks, raising an eyebrow as he cocks his head. âI heard Minho tried to cut off your tongue last time. Too bad you killed him before he did,â he muses, standing up and moving to key in a number code into the cellâs keypad. Cold mist bursts from the walls inside Baekhyunâs cells, the temperature slowly beginning to drop inside the enclosed space. Torture through temperature was something they often did to victims, encasing them in small spaces while blasting scorching heat or mid-freezing air. Many embraced death slowly and painfully, but the pirate had no plans of killing Baekhyun just yet.Â
âIf you behave and learn how to keep that mouth shut, you might just become my favorite,â he smiles at the other, a small smirk on his face. âShow you what other things my mouth can do.âÂ
Baekhyun had always found it funny the way just his voice could clearly get Chanyeol all steamed up and agitated. Baekhyun was great, one of the best he considered himself. If Chanyeol was too insecure about himself and let that bother him, it was hardly Baekhyunâs problem.  He kicks back on the tiny cold slab that passes for a bed and puts his hands behind his head, grinning over at the other.
âOh he did. But Minho never was the same after he lost his leg. He got desperate and sloppy. It wasnât that hard, and well... I consider it a favor to him really, putting him out of his misery. Everyone in a couple lightyears knew he was gonna get shanked within the year anyway, or go on some mission he wasnât good enough for and get himself blown up.â
He grunts softly as the cold drafts blow over him, crossing his arms over his chest and tensing up slightly. Freeze him to death, huh? Like waterboarding, but more effective. Done right, with some suction from the vents, it could even make a person feel like they were suffocating in space. He didnât intend on showing weakness, though, so even as he quickly started to freeze, he gave Chanyeol a derisive sneer.
âI think you got your lines mixed up. Wouldnât a proper captor be saying that about my mouth, not his? But then again, I think you being my bitch is far more fitting,â Baekhyun smirks.
