Your thoughts about my husband

“Captain? You wanted to see me?”

“Ah. Yes, Tadeas… ” Peter looked at his second in command and sighed. He knew bringing Elias to the Tundra was a bad idea. “I have to have a word with you, regarding… Your thoughts.. about my husband.”

Tadeas blinked and shifted uncomfortably. Gods, how Peter hated talks, but this one simply had to happen if he wanted his favorite crew member sane and able to work.

“I… Don’t quite understand, Captain.”

“Mhm. See my… Elias has some abilities, so all the dirty things you thought about him… He heard them and told me.”

Tadeas became incredibly pale.

“Captain, I am… ”

“No, no, no. You read it wrong, I don’t care. I wouldn’t even think about it, it’s your problem if you want to bend over Elias, not mine. But I… Grew fond of you so… Take it as a friendly warning, alright?”

“Um.. alright …?”

“ It’s not wise… To… Be involved in anything with Elias Bouchard. ”

“A..alright. I understand. ”

“I don’t think you do… Have you… Have you heard of sirens, Tadeas?”

“Well, yes… Yes, I have heard of them.”

“He is like a siren. He will play with you and then devour you without a blink, leaving an empty shell of a man stuck in his nightmares. We both know you have enough nightmares, Tadeas. Just stay away from him.”

“I… Yes. Very well. ”

“Good. As you were”

“A siren, really?” Elias chuckled, amused. “ That’s….. Awfully sentimental of you, Peter. And jealous.”

“Oh, shut up. I can’t have him salcking away like that.”

“But of course.” Elias kissed him, amused.

“Leave him alone, Elias.”

“Yes, yes, I know. He is yours. However, you would have a heart attack if I were to tell you details of his thoughts. He had some interesting ideas.”

“Minx.”
