❛ i just want to spend forever getting high off what it feels like to be around you . ❜ (Koschei & Jack)
his cigarette burns. flickers from paper to ash, and scatters on jack’s belly. koschei idly smears the cinders into skin– grey between the notches of jack’s ribs, and the line of the pirate’s jaw as he grips it and kisses smoke into that willing mouth.
“you don’t have forever.”
koschei sits up and tugs on his pants. ties his boots with his back to the captain.
“listen.” he eases his arms into his jacket, black fabric settling on his shoulders. the red shirt he wore is still crumpled on the mattress, a little torn from jack’s impatience and koschei pulls it over the pirates head. it’s too big. “keep this, okay?” he likes the way it looks– the looser neckline baring jack’s throat, his right shoulder, the slope of collarbones and brown skin.
koschei is allowed his indulgences. and as a human– that’s all jack is allowed to be.
he thumbs jack’s cheek. presses– “thank you.” into the human’s ear instead of goodbye, and leaves the pirate just as quickly as he arrived.
