Nixie’s MF Month: Day Eleven, Sam x Natasha - Pirate/Mermaid AU.
“Are you going to kill me?”
Pausing as he adjust the straps keeping the tub in place, Sam looks at the redhead for a long moment before shooting her a half smirk and going back to ensuring the tub wouldn’t topple over during their long journey. “No, no we ain’t gonna kill ya,” he finally murmurs as he shuffles back. “Cap’s takin’ ya back to yer waters,” he adds softly when she gives him a dubious look.
“And why would he do that?” Her voice is soft, gentle, almost like a melody, even though her eyes are dark and cold as she stares at him with a passively blank face.
“Cause Cap don’t trade in tail.” Shoving up to his feet, Sam lets the gentle rocking of the ship guide him back towards the door of the little store room they’ve placed her in. “Cap wouldn’t do that to his blue light boy,” he adds softly, more as an after thought, than an answer to her question as he ducks out of the room, pulling the door shut before pausing when she makes a small curious sound.
Turning, Sam watches her watch him for a long moment, when she suddenly gives a firm nod of her head. “The Prince will be most pleased to know of his Captain’s honesty.”
