Recently the crew of the revenge had allowed Ed back onto the ship, he was put on parole so to speak. Stede had found a cursed suit, after a long day the crew made him throw it away. During the day, Ed had been fishing with Fang, actually talking to him.

But it was the evening now, the pair were back on the ship, talking about their day, Stede mentioned the cursed suit after Ed complimented his shirt. ‘You wear fine things well’ That sentence, Stede had said it to Ed so long ago. They both leaned into the kiss, but Stede reached a hand up, holding Ed’s jaw, he was about to turn the kiss more heated before Ed pulled away. “Can we… take things… slow…?” He murmured. Stede quickly pulled away “no… sorry I wasn’t thinking-“ stede hastily added.
