Love,Hate,and Cigars-Chapter 6

Pirate Scotland x Reader-Chapter 6
Two weeks passed and, eventually, you became a full time crew member of the Cheshire. You learned everyone's name and managed your way around the ship, doing your best to avoid getting hit or bumping into any of them. When he wasn't carrying out orders, Ross kept an eye on you and made sure the crew didn't try to mess with you too much. You still kept your eye on the captain and your guard up every time you were around him. One day you finished your work early and went to the quarter deck and leaned on the railing, after a few minutes, Ross came and joined you.

"How are ya' holdin' up, lass?" He asked, leaning on the railing with you.
You looked up at him then back to looking around the ship. "I'm alright. I'm still getting use to the fact that I'm on a bloody pirate ship."

Ross chuckled and patted your shoulder. "Aww, we ain't that bad. I've seen worse ships and pirates in my days and we're not that bad compared to them." You sighed, "I dunno…I don't believe any pirate can be a 'gentleman'" Ross stroked his beard, thinking a bit. "Well, there are a few but not many. The cap'n is one of them when he want t' be." You raised an eyebrow, "So him being nice to me is only temporary huh?" Ross nodded. "Aye."

So when will the act end? That's what I want to know, you thought, stretching out a bit. "I'm not some girl that cries easily the minute you're mean to me. I think his act is completely stu-GAH!" You were popped on your head before you could finish your sentence. You rubbed your head and looked up at Allistor, who was standing in front of you, fixing his gloves. "Shut yer mouth lass. I don't need ya' blabberin' about when there's work t' be done."

You gave him a scowl, mostly out of the now growing headache, "I'm done with my work and it's true! I think it's all completely stupid!" The slight raise of your voice bought the attention of nearby crewmates, making them stop working and watch them. The captain just rolled his eyes. "Oh hush, you're causing a scene and making a fool of yerself, lass."
"I can make a bloody scene if I want to, and stop calling me 'lass'! I have a name you know and I would appreciate it if you actually used it!" You folded your arms and stomped your foot, showing your attitude to the red haired man. Expecting he'll be mad, Allistor just started laughing, taking a puff of his cigar. "You're just embarrassing yerself now and I suggest ya' hush up before it's too late, lass" You had it with him now, so you did something without thinking. You stepped up to him and raised your hand to him. Expecting to get slapped, he was ready to grab your wrist, but instead you grabbed the cigar from his mouth, smashed it to pieces with your boot on the deck right in front of him,then pushed your way through the gathering crowd and slammed the door once you were inside the captain's quarters.

Allistor was speechless. There was silence until one of the men whispered, "She's in trouble now, everyone knows not t' mess with the cap'n's cigars unless they're askin' for trouble." He was hushed by others and Ross spoke up. "Ya' alright there, cap'n?" Allistor just shook his head and chuckled. "Aye, I'm fine." He looked at the crew and his voice changed to a more assertive and annoyed one. "What the bloody 'ell are ya scallywags standin' around for? GET BACK TO WORK!" In a rush, the crew scrambled to break up the crowd and return to their work. The Scotsman rolled his eyes and headed to his quarters.

"Be easy on the lass now, she didn't know, Al." Ross said, chuckling.

Allistor waved his hand dismissively, "She's just needs t' learn who's in charge 'ere." Then he went inside the small office. You were there, sitting in his throne-like chair, trying to think of something to cool yourself down. You didn't even jump when you heard the door slam shut and the clicking of boots walking towards you.

"Go away."

"Sorry, but this is my quarters and I can easily kick you out of it, lass." The captain came and leaned on the chair and looked down at you, but you refused to meet his eyes. "You just love pressing my buttons don't ya'? If ya' were one of my men I would of punched the 'ell outta ya'"

You sunk into the chair more, "Whatever. I'm not apologizing." A small sigh escaped Allistor's mouth and he grabbed your jaw and made you look up at him. Your (e/c) eye, filled with annoyance and anger, meeting up to hard green ones. "Now listen 'ere. Crew mate or not, I'm the captain 'ere and whatever I command it is law. So if I tell ya' to hush up I expect ya' to listen."The nerve he has to tell me what to do!, you gave a small growl. Then the captain's voice grew a bit softer, "I'm telling you this for your own good, lass. I can't have you getting hurt when I have enough to worry about with these idiots and keepin' my promise to ya'. So can ya' please behave, ___?"  Your tension eased when his voice softened but you still kept your guard up. You didn't speak but you nodded in agreement and he let go of your chin and grabbed another cigar and lit it.

"Thank you." He quietly replied, taking a long puff of the cigar. Before you can speak there was a knock at the door and Ross's voice. "Cap'n. We're close to the king's port, do ya' wanna dock or wait?" Allistor sighed, gave you a glance, and then headed out again. "Might as well dock, we need t' restock on supplies anyways. But be careful, there's no doubt the queen's dogs are sniffin' around there." Ross nodded and both men left you alone in the quarters.

You groaned and laid back in the chair, rubbing your heard in frustration."Didn't think that through ___...." you said to yourself.The more you were around that red headed man the more he got on your nerves.Then the image of him holding your face up close to his popped in your head, making you blush."Gah!"You shook your head to get the image out of your head, but then stopped, making your headache worse.You went to the back room and plopped on the bed, which you have taken over these passed few weeks, and buried your face in the pillow. You let out a long sigh and stared at the wall, realizing that Allistor actually cares about your safety and how he acts around you._{"I hate him...",} and I think I'm starting to love him...,you closed your eyes and fell asleep, trying to ignore the numerous things running through your head.
