"Everyone on a ship has their role, Edward. You're going to make a fine captain, and the sooner you snuff out that lily-livered bullshit, the better."
Another lesson, then.
"Do you know why I chose Israel?"
Izzy stared at the floor, not daring to make eye contact unless spoken to. He'd learned better.
"Because he's loyal."
"Aye, and above all else—" Hornigold patted Ed on the back.
"Is loyalty to your captain," Ed finished, voice dead.
"You boys are young. A good First Mate earns his place, and I think it's never too early to start. What about you?"
"The—" Ed cleared his throat, "The sooner the better."
Hornigold snapped his fingers, "Kneel."
Izzy pulled himself away from the wall and got onto his knees, wincing with a hiss as the position upset his broken ankle. There was no way to rest it that it wouldn't ache and he ground his teeth together, his hand aching from the cuts and mild burns. He left it open behind his back and clenched his left into a fist, nails digging into his palm.
It wasn't getting easier being naked and chained to the floor, especially not when he admired Edward as much as he did; only to have his crewmate see his cock flaccid between his legs as he knelt for a sadist.
Not when the barest glance upwards told him Edward was disgusted by the sight of him.
"Take this. Prove to me my training hasn't been a waste of time."
It hasn't. He knows it hasn't. He's just doing this to fuck with Edward and Izzy shook in his chains. He ground his teeth to suppress his rage and stiffened all at once as Ed's light footsteps got closer.
"Show Edward how good you can be for him, beautiful."
Revulsion flooded through Izzy's veins like ice but he nodded, "Yes, Captain." He stared down at Edward's boots in front of him.
A gentle hand touched his chin and Edward tilted his head up, bringing Izzy's gaze up to his own. He looked devastated and that… that wasn't right. Izzy frowned at him and this only seemed to shake Edward up even more. Ed cupped his cheek and brushed a thumb across his skin, a soothing touch that had Izzy's eyes falling closed.
Dirt be damned, at least this time it wasn't Hornigold's hand on him. Ed's other hand expertly twisted a knife between his fingers and then squeezed around the hilt.
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes, Captain," Izzy responded without hesitation. Edward's eyes squeezed shut and he forced them back open, but Izzy realized all at once that Edward isn't like Hornigold.
His eyes were wet and the disgust wasn't with Izzy, but forIzzy. It was sick, but this is where things had fallen into place. An unwilling student with a trained mutt being handed to him when he wasn't ready to issue commands.
Izzy whispered as quietly as he could, "I forgive you."
Absolution didn't seem to do for Edward what it did for Izzy, and tears streamed down his face as he pointed the tip of his knife at Izzy's mouth. A shiver ran through him and Izzy opened up, tongue out and ready to accept whatever was about to happen. He just prayed silently that this wasn't about cutting it out.
The flat of the knife pressed down against his flesh and Izzy held his mouth open, looking directly into Edward's eyes. It slid further in and Izzy fought to keep his tongue flat as it started reaching a dangerous depth. He wasn't afraid. He wasn't. He trusted Edward.
When the cool metal of the knife had warmed against his tongue, Edward pressed it in further and the knife made its way to the start of his throat. He gagged and nearly closed his mouth around the blade, but Edward pulled it out and dropped it to the floor as Izzy reflexively gagged and second time and tried to reign it in.
"Pick up the knife, boy."
Edward bent at the knees to grab it and righted himself as he did so.
"Today—with Izzy's help—I'm christening you a man, Edward."
Izzy's mouth watered at the news. This wasn't his first 'christening' since his apprenticeship as First Mate had started, but this would definitely be his favorite.
"Fuck his face."
Ed looked down in horror, but Izzy pulled his arms forward to undo Ed's pants. The sooner he freed his cock, the sooner Izzy would have his mouth on it, and the idea made the pain worth it. The cuts on his hand stung as they stretched with the effort to undo Ed's belt and the burns were still sensitive. Despite the awful shaking in his right hand, he got it off and the belt fell to the floor with a thump. Then all he had to do was tug Ed's pants at the thighs to get them down.
Ed's cock was flaccid while Izzy's was getting harder and he picked it up with his good hand to lick at the tip, laving his tongue over it and taking it into his mouth to suckle at. Izzy bobbed his head shallowly to try and get Edward's dick to cooperate—still stubbornly soft in Izzy's hand and mouth. He had tricks now, whether he wanted them or not, and Izzy swallowed him down and moaned around it, feeling it finally grow harder inside of him.
His hand snuck its way between his thighs and behind Ed's balls to his taint, and after feeling around for a moment, he rubbed at it two fingers. Ed's legs trembled and it seemed to do the job, his length hardening the rest of the way.
"Fuck him."
Edward looked down with guilty eyes and Izzy pulled off. "Fuck my mouth, please, Captain."
Ed squeezed his eyes shut and gripped Izzy's hair as he tilted his head back. He fed his cock to Izzy who tongued at it appreciatively and then all at once he fucked into Izzy's throat. It was hardly anything and Izzy tugged him forward by the pants still caught around his calves; coaxing his cock in deeper and swallowing around it as it seated fully in his throat.
He didn't want to do this, but that was okay. Izzy would help him, and then it would be over with and Edward wouldn't have to worry anymore.
His next thrust was deeper but still shallower than necessary and Izzy tugged him forward again and again until Edward seemed to realize it was fine. Clearly Izzy was welcoming this, even if Edward himself was reluctant.
When Izzy moaned around his cock, Ed slapped a hand down on the wall behind them and gave Izzy a proper taste of his dick. He stopped holding back and as his orgasm got closer, he fucked Izzy's mouth with shorter, quicker thrusts, ultimately cumming partway down Izzy's throat and onto his tongue.
Edward pulled out and Izzy swallowed down his semen, eyes watering and his grubby wrist coming up to wipe the tears from his eyes. It worked, but it also smeared the filth around and Izzy blinked as someone got into his eye.
Ed pulled his pants back up and tucked himself away before he turned around. "What about him?"
Hornigold took sure, heavy steps over to the two of them and put a hand on Izzy's head. "He's been a good boy, and he'll get his reward. But that's not your concern right now."
"But—"
"Run along."
Ed hesitated but turned to leave.
"And fetch Jack for me, will you?"
