Kane Davies

And he said "I don't know, am I my brother's keeper?"

The knock at the door came as a surprise as Samson hadn’t actually been expecting anyone. In the weeks since the fire he had been relatively solitary, mostly watching documentaries and drinking alone in his villa. He had made a few outings but nothing truly of note. Wearing just sweatpants, he headed to the door and opened it wide, a faint smile playing on his lips as soon as he saw Kane. “Well this is a surprise.” he chuckled, stepping out of the way so that the other pirate could walk inside. Closing the door behind him, he leaned against the wall. “Any reason for the visit?”

“Well, I am chock full of surprises.” Kane said with a grin, holding up a bottle of whiskey. “I also come bearing gifts.” He said with a nod, “Do you mind if I come in? I know it’s rude to invite one in but I need an ear and I know you’re the best listener around.”

the night watch

the night watch. @maddox-keyes @treacherous-kane

Gideon woke up in the morning like any other day, in a villa owned by a pirate where he was held captive on an island prison. But on this day, he knew it would be the last time he woke up on the island. Tonight was the night he would make his escape. And tomorrow or the day after, the island and all the pirates on it would burn.

There were no preparations to make, really. At sundown Gideon went to the empty villa he used to store the knife and retrieved it. Once the island was shrouded in darkness, Gideon took a shortcut from the villas to the docks, walking with a focused sense of purpose. Walk to the docks. Cut the lines. Sail away. He’d kept careful tabs on who went to the docks at night–when the guards changed and the docks were free for up to twenty minutes at times. The lax atmosphere of the island was something to use to his advantage.

Gideon waited briefly under the cover of trees to ensure the dock was empty before quickly making his way down toward the targeted fishing boat. There was no time to spare–he needed to be far in the distance before anyone spotted him.

The ocean never grew old but at night it felt the most meditative. Blackness with a trim of white foam. The constant soft roar of the tide. Usually Maddox went late to walk along the shore or relax on a lounger. On this night he decided to head out earlier, making a pass by the docks on the way.

Despite Jacob’s promise of upping security he saw no one. Ha, no surprise there. Instead of bothering the captain he decided to message Kane. They had discussed security around the island earlier. Maddox had an excellent example of the concerns as he found himself staring at unprotected ships. Again. He fired off a text and then pocketed his phone. 

With gun drawn but lowered he strolled the planks of the shortest dock. Returning to the site of a crown prince acting shady and overconfident in the smallest fishing boat. He’d done his research on the man– highly skilled, combat trained. Perhaps the prince could slip away easily. Or perhaps he’d lead something more successful on the island, another revolt. Either way, Gideon could be the literal death of them if no one paid attention.

Kane had just gotten back to his villa after working around the canteen, loading supplies off a boat. He was about to kick off his shoes and relax finally when his phone vibrated in his pocket. Pulling it out, he looked down at the message and cursed under his breath.

“Fucking Gideon.” He muttered, moving to his own secure weapons stash, putting a gun in the back of his belt and moving a knife to the strap on his ankle. He sent Maddox a text that he would be right there before closing down his house, making his way down to the docks.

Gideon’s eyes might have glazed over at Kane’s rant. The concerns for civil liberties meant little to Gideon when an all out war with the pirates brewed. There would be time to deal with that later–perhaps when Gideon wasn’t trapped on an island. 

The fact that Kane could turn a critical eye on the situation relieved Gideon to an extent. Yes, they had planned to overthrow their father together. With Gideon taking control of the throne and Kane at his side. He would rule Wales and he would make sure Kane was kept out of the way with plenty of duties. Things changed when Gideon realized his power would feel illegitimate gained in such a way, and with a brother willing to betray their father, what was stopping Kane from doing the same to him? Gideon voiced none of this as he stared at his younger brother with his arms still folded, sitting perfectly still in his chair.

“I made a call to preserve our father on the throne at a time when Wales needed stability. And frankly, I didn’t think I could trust you if we went through with it.” Gideon’s mouth tensed into a frown. “Things would be different if you hadn’t joined up with pirates, Kane. You understand I have to ask these things of you to prove your loyalty to me.”

“Wales needed stability?” Kane snorted, “You are so full of shit sometimes, Gideon. You know that?” He asked before shaking his head, “Wales needed a strong ruler who wouldn’t put his own needs before their own. Wales was- is suffocating under father’s rule. He’s a tyrant and the fact that you would just hand me over on a silver platter is a bit disconcerting.” 

Kane looked at Gideon, “And what was I supposed to do? Just let father catch me and kill me?” He asked before sighing, “And what of your loyalty to me? I’ve done nothing but spend my entire life proving my loyalty to you.”

“He told you that? The question that begs is, is he worthy of his word? You cannot even trust that he’d fulfill his promise. When something seems too good to be true, it’s because it usually is,” Luka’s chest heaved with a sigh, moving Kane’s chin with it. Besides getting home safely with his family and loved ones, Luka wanted nothing more than for Kane to be reinstated as prince of Wales. It nagged at him that he had to be on the constant run, resorting to piracy in order to survive and have a place in the world. Luka had wanted so badly for him to have stayed in Italy with him. The day he left had been an emotional one, and the thought of repeating it sent a pang to his chest. 

“No, not at first. It wasn’t until we actually started spending real time together besides partying and fucking,” he managed a smile, as he moved his hand to the other’s head to thread his fingers throughout his short locks. “I wasn’t a great influence either, to be fair. I’m still not,” he shamelessly admitted, gazing down at Kane. “I wonder if we would have gotten expelled. Then again, there wasn’t much we couldn’t talk our way out of and what our words couldn’t convey, money would suffice in silencing the dean. I couldn’t believe you made me go for a swim. That water was frigid! Sometimes I think you have more crazy ideas than even I do,” he let out a light chuckle, which felt good, loosening up the tightness that had formed in his chest.

“I don’t know what he’s worthy of anymore.” Kane murmured, closing his eyes as he thought about his brother and his return to Wales. “And I know I can’t trust him but what if he’s telling the truth this time?” He asked, opening his eyes and looking back up at Luka. Wanting his honest opinion about all of this. “What if I just help him get off the damn island, he rescues everyone and I can go back home? Is that a horrible thing?” He asked, although he knew it was. By joining up with his brother, he would betraying those who had his loyalty. His new family.

Kane grinned, leaning down and kissing along his chest, “Well, I did enjoy partying and fucking.” He joked, “But getting close to you, that was the best part. It’s the best part of all of this. Being with you again.” He rested his head back down on Luka’s chest, nodding his head, “Oh you were just as horrible as an influence as I was. That’s for sure.”

@samsonmorales

Kane had been spending almost too much time with his royal friends, it was almost becoming too much for him. A constant reminder that he was falling short in his friendships with them. That he would never be able to truly protect them like he wanted. It was a shot to the ego to say the least. He knew he needed to get his priorities in check and he considered Samson a friend among the pirates they surrounded themselves with. Knocking on his door, he hoped Samson was home and not out doing his assignments.

Her shoulders shook as she hiccupped lightly. Head nodding against his shoulder. Even trusting Kane in the wake of what happened was difficult, not because she thought he was being deceitful, but because she would never expect him to go against his people. “I’m scared Kane. Of what happened, what it all means.” It that was Roman Tulach’s goal, then the pirate had succeeded, she was going to feel that fear for a while. “Stay with me for a bit?”

“Don’t be scared. Please Rebekah. You know I won’t let anything happen to you.” He murmured, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her even closer to him. “Hopefully this will all be over soon and you’ll be able to go home.” He said with a nod, kissing the top of her head. “Of course. I’ll stay with you as long as you need me.”

Kane’s loss of hope on the matter didn’t bode well with the Italian prince, but it seemed no words could sway his mind otherwise. “Please don’t say that. You cannot lose who you really are just because your family is filled with cogliones!” Luka ran his fingers through Kane’s short locks, letting out a deep sigh over the situation as a whole. If Kane didn’t want to fight for his birthright, Luka would have to find the means to accept that…eventually. “I just want the best for you, wherever that may leave you.” He would have used the word ‘safe,’ but none of them were truly safe right now, and certainly not out in the real world with the war. Still, he didn’t want Kane to ever stop fighting for what was meant to be his. 

“You know when we first met I thought you were some rich trust fund boy, not an actual prince,” he smiled at the memory of their college days together. Most had been spent running amuck throughout London, frequenting clubs, and drinking and less about studying and attending classes. Luka thought for sure he’d flunk out his first semester, but luckily he was able to do extra credit assignments to raise his grades where they had faltered. “You were such a bad influence. I thought for sure we were going to get busted that one time we stole the rowing oars from the boathouse and went out on the Thames. I still don’t know how we got away with that,” he chuckled lightly, causing his stomach to vibrate against Kane’s head.

Kane couldn’t help but snort at Luka’s comment, nodding his head in agreement, “A bunch of cogliones if you ask me, love.” He joked, laughing a little before shaking his head, “I don’t know what is the best for me.” He said in all honesty, “My brother..” He trailed off, “He told me that if I help him get off this island, he’ll make sure I am welcome back in Wales.”

The idea of being a rich trust fund boy made Kane laugh a bit, “I didn’t come off royal to you, eh?” He teased, although he knew back then, he hadn’t acted very royal. And he was a spoiled prince who was more into partying then he ever was into school. “I was a total bad influence. I hated following the rules. Still do.” He teased, resting his chin on Luka’s chest as he looked up at him, “But we didn’t get busted. Although I thought you were going to lose it when I inisisted we go swimming as well.”

“The fact that you joined up with pirates made it even harder to track you down. Do you know what would have happened if I tried reaching out to pirates? Father would have exiled me too.” He drew in a long and deep breath as Kane rehashed what happened. He needed to let go. At the time, Gideon decided he needed his little brother out of the way. Now that he was on the island, things were different. “I saw the writing on the wall and if I did not pin our plans on someone, we would both be exiled. And then where would Wales be?” Gideon didn’t know if Kane cared about their home country any more. He cared about certain matters of ruling that Gideon didn’t. If Gideon hadn’t concerned himself so much with Kane acting out a revenge plot, perhaps he could have been useful in some sort of cabinet position dealing with whatever Gideon didn’t have time for.

His question left their little sister completely off the table as an option for ruling. For Gideon, the line for the throne stopped at him. “As I said, you will have to earn it. What I’m asking is that you work with me to free the royals on the island. Are you capable of turning on your pirate mates, Kane?” The risk in asking Kane such a question was not lost on Gideon. If his intentions got into the wrong hands, Gideon would be scrambling to survive. “If you serve me in this endeavor, you could come home. I’ll make sure of it.”

Kane snorted at the idea of Gideon ever reaching out to pirates, nodding his head because as delightful as that sounded, he knew his older brother had a point. “Maybe.” He said with a nod before shaking his head, “The writing on the wall? How would of anyone known of our plans? I only confided in you.” He shook his head, “You act as if you’ve done anything to help Wales. People are still going hungry. Family being unjustly imprisoned because they can’t afford the high taxes father imposes on them. If you or your brother or your second cousin upsets father in anyway, most likely you’ll end up in prison. There are civil liberties being stripped from people. We’re taking very big steps backwards. I’ve even heard that father is considering making gay marriage illegal again. So I’m not sure you’re doing much, Gideon.” 

He knew he was being hard on his brother, when it came to their father, there was very little one could say to change his mind. They’d lived with the man for quite some time. He was strict and mean and did not take anyone’s advice. But he also knew in his old age, he was getting worse. “That was why we wanted to force him to abdicate the throne, remember?”

“Earn it?” Kane looked at his brother, “You won’t give me what is rightfully mine? He should be exiled with me. Yet here you stand demanding things?” As much as he wanted to go home, he wasn’t sure if he could betray the only people who looked after him. The people who took him in when he had no where else to go. He paused for a moment, “Let me think about it.”

[treacherous-kane]

gideondavies‌:

“That was years ago, Kane. And when I wanted to find you, I couldn’t. Not after the way father reacted.“ Really, Gideon spared little thought for where his brother went after he was exiled. It would be best for him if Kane hadn’t survived, but perhaps in his lighter moods he hoped Kane was out there somewhere. But as long as Kane was alive, Gideon thought his little brother would be plotting his revenge. “You don’t have to accept my apology, but I thought it was warranted. I’m not here to beg for your forgiveness. What I need is your cooperation.” Gideon kept himself relaxed in the chair, watching Kane’s features while his own remained stone cold. “You could earn your place in Wales again.”

“You honestly searched for me?” Kane asked, raising an eyebrow before shaking his head, “I’m sure there were rumors that I joined up with pirates.” He paused for a moment, shaking his head, “You are the reason why I am exiled. It was all your idea. You’re the one who wanted to take father out of power so we can help our people...” He paused for a moment, “Wait what?” He asked as his brother mentioned him returning to Wales. “What are you talking about? Father will never let me come back.”

👻- For something that scares or disturbs them, but they refuse to tell anyone

Nothing disturbs or scares Kane more then his older brother. He’s quite aware of what Gideon is capable of and how he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Kane has been used as a tool several times by his brother and has done unimaginable things to make his brother happy. What scares and disturbs Kane even more is the fact that he still wants nothing more then his brother’s approval and despite knowing what a sociopath Gideon is, he misses his friendship and relationship with him.

“Kane,” Gideon said. His little brother’s name was said firmly, concisely, like a command, with a look in his eyes to match. The little smirk gone, replaced with a gravely serious glare at Kane. “Sit down. We need to talk.” It didn’t matter that this was Kane’s porch and Kane’s chairs. The space belonged to Gideon so long as he occupied it. Gideon looked relaxed, sitting back in his chair with one leg crossed over the other and his arms folded loosely across his chest. He made no indication that a few days ago he sent their little sister to the infirmary or several hours ago he had a gun jammed in his back.

“I am sorry for how things were, and how things are between us.”

Kane rolled his eyes at his brother insistence, “Do we honestly need to talk? I believe your actions have said enough.” Despite his harsh tone, Kane sat. If not more out of habit, having spent most of his life following his brother’s commands.The fate of a second born.

“Sorry?” He asked, a bit surprised by the words that came out of his brother’s mouth at the moment. “Sorry? I’ve got a price on my head as a result of you selling me out to father. I think it’s a bit more then just a simple apology, don’t you think?”
