tw: some suggestive scenes (only implied)

Word on the street is that there’s a rogue pirate kidnapping handsome princes! So the knights assigned Neil Perry (their Golden Knight) to watch over Todd Anderson!

One night, the rogue pirate (Charlie) scaled a room on the side of the castle successfully and spots a sleeping young man on his bed. He’s immediately in love with his pale skin, sleeping face, and red copper hair. Before the sleeping man could wake up, Charlie puts a sack over his head and carries him out of the room.

“Did you here that?” Todd asks Neil, whose armor was scattered across Todd’s floor.

“Huh? No?” Neil said from Todd’s chest, still in the middle of kissing him.

“It sounded like it came from Cameron’s room. We should check.”

“Your nanny? I’m sure he’s fine, we’re not done here–”

“Neil, he’s my advisor and we’re going to check on him. There’s a pirate on the loose remember?”

Neil groans and helps them get dressed.

“Wake up, Prince.” Charlie patted Cameron’s cheek. They were in the caves beside a shore where Charlie’s row boat waded, the moonlight still shining on Cameron’s skin, making Charlie a bit flustered.

Cameron gathered himself, trying to wipe his face but his hands were tied behind his back. “Prince? Oh– You’re that pirate who kidnaps princes!!” He notices Charlie’s flowy shirt and eyepatch before he noticed the earrings and the sword on him. The man had taste.

“Okay Prince Todd, I don’t normally kidnap princes this far out but I heard you were the most beautiful in the land. I’d say they were right on that end so I’ve decided to keep you for myself.” Charlie winked.

“W-what? I’m not the–”

“Stop right there!” Neil shouted from the other side of the cave.

“You! Perry!” Charlie stood up, drawing his sword.

“We meet again, you scoundrel!” Neil laughed as he pointed his sword at Charlie.

“Oh please, just because I left knight training to be a pirate doesn’t mean I’m a scoundrel! I’m a dignified adventurer!” Charlie rebutted. Neil scoffs at his former classmate.

“Unhand our friend right now!” Todd yelled from behind Neil.

“Sorry, but the beautiful Prince Todd will be coming with me!” Charlie hoisted Cameron over his shoulder.

“Let me go! I’m not Todd!”

“Yeah!” Todd added, “I’m Todd!”

“Yeah, and Todd’s mine!” Neil piped in.

“… Huh? Then… Who–”

“I’m Richard Cameron? The advisor and right hand man to the Prince? You didn’t actually think I was the most beautiful prince in the land, right?”

Charlie puts Cameron down again. “I–” He stutters a bit.

“Y-you… You actually think I’m as beautiful as how they describe Todd? Even if you got the wrong room??”

“How could you think Cameron’s more– Ow!” Neil’s rant was cut off by Todd pinching him to keep quiet.

“I… Yeah– I thought you were really pretty and–” Charlie hid his face in his pirate sleeves. “I– I just thought–”

“… Y'know… now that we’re all out here… Do you all just wanna runaway?” Todd suggested. “We’ve got Neil to protect us, I’ve got my best advisor, I hate this kingdom and my parents, we should just go!”

Cameron was about to scold Todd for even saying he hated this kingdom but he sighed instead. “You know what? Sure. I’m gonna get fired if I do or don’t agree with you anyway.” Both Charlie and Todd beamed in happiness.

“Wait… does this mean we have to share a boat– a room with other people tonight?” Neil groaned.

“Honey, we can continue in this cave if you want.” Cameron looked at Todd in disappointment.

“What? No!” Neil and Cameron said in unison.

“Hey man, if you guys wanna live the pirate life, you gotta be okay with sharing the space with other horny pirates.” Charlie shrugged before looking at Cameron again.

“Please don’t tell me that while I’m still tied up.”

And so, Charlie “kidnapped” Todd, Cameron, and Neil in one night. They met up with Charlie’s crew: Knox the translator, Pitts the navigator, and Meeks the weapons smith. (Yes, they were all former princes who ran away with Charlie.)

The Dead Pirates were formed.
