Feuilly knew that stowing away on a pirate ship was a bad idea. Still, he needed to escape his world for good, and after he had knocked out the port guard it had been easy enough to sneak onto the ship. What he hadn't expected was to be caught within only a few days. He had begged to be allowed to help as a sailor but had been rudely shoved into the brig instead of listened to where he now knew he would spend his last moments alive. Especially since he could hear a storm outside and the cries of his captors as water begun filling the ship. Feuilly felt his heart sinking as he knelt down in the rising water, closing his eyes and beginning to pray for the first time in a long time. Suddenly there was an explosion opposite, and the water began to rise faster, Feuilly managed to break open the now busted cell only to be pulled into the fast current of the ocean. The last thing he saw before he passed out were a pair of bright eyes staring at him in the water.
Combeferre was swimming through the water close to the surface when he saw the ship start to go down. He saw the man fly off the ship and swam to him, he looked so beautiful he knew he had to save him. He quickly grabbed onto him and swam towards shore trying to keep the human’s head above the water as best he could.
Feuilly was in a haze. He came in and out of consciousness as he was dragged through the storm, the hand on his arm the only sensation he was aware of through the biting cold. Eventually he found himself on solid ground, his breathing unsteady but alive for now.
Ferre stayed on the shore with him and gently poked his cheek, “Human? Human wake up, don’t die human.”
Feuilly could feel the slight prod on his chin as he flickered back into consciousness, his head spinning. He tried to speak but he only managed to splutter as he coughed up the water lodged in his throat. As he realised someone was speaking to him he managed to lift his head up, his eyes going wide as he saw who his saviour was.
