Elias sighed, bored, and looked around Peter's cabin. It was the first day that he felt like he was not dying from headache and nausea. He slowly slipped from the bed and put on some clothes. He grabbed Peter's sweater and wrapped it around himself. It was too big but warm enough that he is not going to freeze on the deck. He left the cabin. The crew was clearly not aware of his presence, he got some odd looks, but they didn't bother him.
"Mr. Bouchard," the sailor murmured, focusing on his work, but after a few seconds he jumped from his station. "Mr. Bouchard! What the hell are you doing here?"
Elias smiled, amused, grabbing Peter's cigarettes from the pocket.
"I am accompanying my husband in his travels." Tadeas frowned. "He lost a bet."
"Ah... Well. Welcome on board. I guess..." Tadeas murmured.
"No offense, Mr. Bouchard. But one creepy bastard is quite enough for my taste."
"Cheer up, sailor. I am on holiday. Where's my husband?"
"I would like to know," Tadeas mused, oozing with exhaustion. "I would really like to know, Mr. Bouchard." He leaned on the fence. "Maybe you can tell me where my captain is? He keeps complaining you are watching his every step."
"Does he? That's flattering. Unfortunately, I can't. The fog is too thick."
"Fucking fog." Tadeas grumbled and almost walked into Peter, who was now standing next to them.
"Captain!" Tadeas dropped the tool he was holding and grabbed the fence not to fall. Peter chuckled, clearly amused.
"Elias, dearest... Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"
"I was bored." Elias leaned on him and kissed him, smiling. Tadeas looked at them with a mix of disbelief and terror and when Peter's hand slipped under Elias's clothes, he stepped closer.
"Sir. Don't you think this sort of display would inspire too much... need for socializing among the crew?"
Elias huffed, amused, kissing Peter again, but Peter stepped back, holding him.
"If you would take me on the deck so they could watch, it will also inspire so much loneliness and jealousy that you could feed on it for months, dearest."
Tadeas glared at him in disbelief, and Peter chuckled.
"You can't beat this one on arguments, Tadeas. He will always find a better one. My Leech," Peter hummed amused. "But you would like it, right?"He backed off Elias until his back hit the cargo containers. "Perhaps even too much. You know you are free to give them a show, but I'm not participating."
Elias moaned, arching his back. Peter snorted.
"How long will you be staying with us, Mr. Bouchard?" Tadeas asked, forcing a smile. The only answer he got was Elias' laughter and Peter's amused look.
