"When we make it to Vincent I'll need some of you to sell off some diamonds for new swords and guns. We fucking need 'em." He points at Derek, one of his favorite men for this job,"Do you know somebody good?"

"Yes captain, actually..." Derek walks forward, pressing his fingers to a village in Vincent,"Its a days trip away from the docks, but if I send a letter a day beforehand then we should be able to get the new swords and pay for them as soon as we make it to the shop."

"So you'll need about 3 days time for this?" Nico stares at him.

"I'd make it four, just to be safe sir." He nods,"But no more than a week."

"Ok then." Nico grins,"That works finely." He looks at his crew,"Ok! Is a week enough time to gather supplies and rest up a bit!?"

"Yes sir!"

"Then by next weeks time lets make it to Vincent you fuckers! Sleep up, hard work tomorrow! Get goin'!"

"Yes Captain!"

"Yes sir!"

"Alright Cap'in!"

"G'night sir!"

Nico huffs, yawning broadly as he makes his way out of the room. He makes it out soon, looking up at the gleaming full moon, and the even brighter stars.

"Night Nico." Lana slaps his shoulder,"Have a nice night." She wiggles her brows.

He flips her off.

She giggles, dissappearing with the rest of the men.

He walks across the deck, and goes into his quarters gladly, hanging his heavy coat.

Oh but... He feels his mind slip away completely from the simple thought of sleep.

Scent clouds his senses, and he presses a hand to the wall, a sharp breath falling past his lips.

This is strong. Really, really strong. Nico didn't know he could feel like this, lust covering every fiber in his body. He feels something boil in his lower stomach, and its definitely not fluttery.

He turns, and finds luca passed out on the bed, body laying flat on his stomach. He has a long shirt on, it actually looks like one of Nico's, and his underwear. Good, at least hes clothed this time.

But god, this smell is so incredibly strong. Last night the heat seemed to be calming down, but now its come on one hundred percent times ten.

Nico takes a few deep breaths, begging his mind to calm itself. And it does, but that itch burns like fire in the back of his head.

Control. Control yourself Nico.

He walks over steadily, and crouches next to the bed. His yellow eyes stare at closed ones, Lucas face twitching and eyes moving beneath his lids.

Nico smiles at the innocent sight. Like this Luca looks young, he's still a kid. Not a kid kid, but hes still young, just as the captain is, but hes young in a way that he should be exploratory, excited about the world.

But instead, Nicos noticed, Luca has been trying to escape it. He says the world is cruel, and disgusting. He only wants to be by the sea.

Nico sighs, and looks at the floor that sits between his knees. He wants to know about this kid, he wants to know his hardships and help him get through them. Hes never wanted to help a person so bad in his life. He doesn't mind helping people but for some reason he just wants to be that person to give Luca a well needed shoulder to lean on...

But he's just-

Nico swallows. He sighs, and decides to scoot Luca over gently. The boy groans, grumbling something.

"Scoot over. You're hogging the bed." Nico mutters, and the omega mutters something falling straight back to sleep as he shifts in the bed next to the captain.

Nico smiles before laying down, rolling so his back is to the sleeping kid.

Its silent for a while, so much so that Nicos eyes begin to drift shut. But, as the time passes, and darkness is about to take over the alphas mind, his calf is kicked, and a sharp inhale sounds behind him.

He sits up, frowning some from the disrupted almost-sleep.

But, as he watches Luca curl in on himself, hands reaching up to press against the sides of brown hair, Nico feels concern lace through him.

Luca holds completely still after that. Not a sound or motion escapes him, the only indication of his living being the fact that his chest moves fast with panted breaths.

"Luca." Nico moves closer, but he doesn't have to go far, Luca shooting up and immediately grabbing him.

He sits silently. The boy clings, parted lips breathing a heavy wet spot against the captains bare shoulder. Luca doesn't say a word, and neither will he, keeping his hands to himself until told other wise.

Luca shifts then, grabbing the alphas hand and dragging it over to his side, wrapping the larger limb around a slim body. Does he want a hug? Or...

"Alpha." A choked whisper spills past Lucas lips, and he presses the alphas hand tighter against his waist,"Hurts. It hurts."

Nico sits there dumbfounded for far too long. Luca trembles beneath his fingers, against his side, and he numbly realizes that Luca's probably fallen into the worst of his heat. The part where you can't pull your head up, where you can't refuse a good alpha if ones sitting there.

"Alpha." Luca moves closer, and Nico's not sure how to feel as the omega straddles him suddenly, leg slinging over his waist.

"Luca no." Nico shoves him off, and the omega stares up wide eyed, smaller frame bouncing against the bed as Nico shoves him over.

"W-Why?" Luca sits up. There's an urgency behind his eyes that wasn't there before. He doesn't glare, or glower. Instead, his brows are raised, blue eyes wide as he crawls incredibly too close again, panting,"Please."

"No." Nico refuses to take advantage of him,"Sit." He says sternly.

The omega stares at him wide eyed, but then his face breaks, eyes falling into dispare,"Am I still bad?"

Nico furrows his own brows then,"Huh- no..."

"I'm disgusting." He mutters next and as Nico tries to touch him he only curls away,"Don't touch me!"

Nico withdraws his palm, staring at the omega wide eyed,"Luca-"

His words cut off as Luca flops back down, curling up again. His arms cover his head, and he suddenly looks too tiny. Nico feels a pang flow through his heart. He didn't mean to offend him. He just won't take advantage of someone whos obviously too delusional to think straight.

He sighs, and lays next to him, tugging the omega close,"C'mere..." He whispers, and as he pulls Luca forward, the smaller boy rolls, immediately pressing up against him.

-

"I want..." Luca reaches down, and before the alpha can stop him there's a hand pressing into his pants. The captain gasps, and reaches down, ripping the boys hand away.

"Stop that. Alpha doesn't want that right now. Behave."

"But it hurts." Luca persists, and then he groans, gasping as he curls,"Hurts-"

"What does baby?" Nico rubs a hand down his stomach, and he can't help but love the way the omega twitches beneath his fingers.

"Is it this?" He asks quietly, slipping a finger into the front of Luca's waist band.

He shakes his head,"No. Inside hurts, I'm burning. Its burning me." He whimpers,"Alpha."

Jesus fucking- this kid has really lost it hasn't he? Nico thought he said it wouldn't be too bad? This is definitely top level heat.

Nico slides his hand around, pressing it into the top on the undergarments on the back side,"Here baby?" He whispers, his own eyes lidding dangerously.

Luca nods feverishly,"Please." He shifts, and the alphas hand falls further into the underwear as Luca is suddenly pressed firmly against him,"Please, please."

Nico lets a hot stuttered breath fall past his lips, only a finger slipping between the top of the smaller mans cheeks. And fuck, hes so wet that its all over back here. He can already feel it.

"Luca I can't-"

He croaks, words falling away as Luca moves again, causing the alphas stiff and almost afraid hand to go further in the pants.

"Touch me. I'll be good, I'm good." He whines.

Nico swallows, and he finally removes his hand, making Luca give a choked sob. But he holds a finger up, shushing him momentarily as he moves his hand back around to the front.

"I'm only doing this to help you." He says sternly,"Nothing more." He lifts the omegas leg, turning Luca better on his side and making sure there's proper access. He yanks the under garments away. He doesn't look, he won't until he feels ready to. Lucas fingers press to his chest, the omegas breaths coming heavy and labored as the captain's hand wanders down.

He rubs the smaller mans stomach once, then feels out the shape of his dick. Its actually larger than he thought, and he strokes him a few times, getting a few needy whines in response. He's wet all over, the alpha soon realizes, as he rubs his two fingers down and under to his entrance.

"Alpha-" Luca croaks, and he moves closer against Nico. The alphas own mind clouds out, his fingers swirling around the fluttering hole that he can't see from where he lays.

He presses just the tip of his finger in first, and the omega moans just from that, causing Nico's eyes to dilate, growing larger as he shoves one fully in.

Lucas hips buck, and he gasps, whimpering softly as he breathes hard. The leg that Nico hand placed against his own side for better access tightens considerably, and the omega isn't hesitant to press his lower body against him.

"Fuck Luca-" He whispers, watching as the omegas brows screw together over ruby red cheeks and closed eyes. It makes him wanna add another, and he does, making the omega tense up and groan into the room, hand turning to a fist.

Hes... He's so fucking cute. Nico can't help but stare at that blissed face. He expected him to be more silent, maybe shy. But no, he's pressing his body down, swallowing the captain's fingers and moaning for more.

And he does get more, another finger adding and Nico moves his fingers in and out fast. Luca pants, pressing his forehead against the older mans chest as he ruts against the hand in his ass.

"Ngh-" He twitches, forehead pressing tight against Nico's chest,"I want more-" he gasps.

Nico adds a forth, and he tenses again, a soft and unguarded moan falling past his lips-

-

Nico blinks. Wait... Wait! Was he just fucking daydreaming about-

Oh- WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT BRAIN!? HUH!? WHAT THE HELL!?

He yells at his crew for staring down the boy, for calling him a mutt, and seeing him as nothing more than sex.

And yet, he's no better, is he?

Nico feels sullen, feeling rather ashamed as Luca clings to his shoulders silently. He just had a whole fucking daydream about the poor kid, and Luca was only seeking comfort.

Well at least that's what it seems like.

"Hey..." Nico shifts some, raising a hand to pat Luca's shoulder,"What's wrong brat?"

The omega is silent, not moving or making a sound as he keeps his position. His chest presses to Nicos once in a while, once again the only sign of him being alive being his heavy breaths.

"Luca?"

"...Just..." The omega finally shifts, but he doesn't move much, forehead pressing to the alphas chest,"I need..."

Nico stares down at the dark brown hair, then he huffs, laying back against the bed,"You wanna be held?"

"Whatever just..." Luca grimaces and as Nico finally gets a look at his face he sees the utter pain hes in,"Let me lay against your... Side or something."

Nico holds perfectly still as Luca presses against his side. The omega holds still after that, staring bluntly at the captain's blue shirt as he tugs at the hem of the oversized one he wears.

"I took one of your shirts-"

"I dont mind-"

"I wasn't fucking asking." Luca spits, and the older man just snorts, staring at the ceiling.
