Fantasy RP The Tale of the Shadow (Kkjib)

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra grumbles, "I've seen part of you!! I've seen your abs!" He hides his face.

 

[Kkjib]

"Yeah sure, you've seen that, but what about the rest of me." Zukata asks.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra goes silent, biting his lip before turning his face away from Zukata's chest. "You don't have to say it like that. . . Now it sounds like it wasn't worth anything." He grumbles

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata hums lowly. "I didn't mean it in that way... i honestly wish you could see me. I want you to see me." He comments softly. "Any bit you can see is fine with me... you've felt me, heard me and that's enough for me..."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra presses closer, "It's not enough for me." He whispers.

He presses his hand lightly into Zukata's sternum, and slides down to his stomach, sighing softly.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata hums lowly as small frown on his lips. He then grabs Azra's hand and pulls it to his cheek, pressing the palm of Azra's hand to it.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra sighs softly, "I want to see you. . . I need t see you." He whispers.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata didn't know what to say. What could he even say to this? There was nothing he could do to help even though he so wished. Softly he kissed Azra's palm with a hum.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra swallows thickly, "Anyways, I know you're sexy. For a fact." He mumbles.

 

[Kkjib]

"That's for sure." Zukata adds playfully.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra laughs, shaking his head, "Arrogant much?"

 

[Kkjib]

"I'm confident." Zukata laughs softly.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra smiles, "And I like that about you." He sits up, wiggling slightly.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata smiles with a joyous laugh, watching Azra's wiggle as he sits up.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

He stretches, yawning and flops back, "I'm tired again. . ." He grumbles.

 

[Kkjib]

"Geez, your almost always tired. Should I worry?" Zukata comments, playfully poking at Azra's cheek

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra swats his hand, "Maybe I am a cat. . ." He mumbles.

 

[Kkjib]

"That's what I've been saying..." Zukata hums

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra laughs, "Shush." He kisses Zukata's shoulder.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata laughs along

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra leaned over the railing, his gaze empty, staring ahead as the ghostly ship approached the dock. The shouts and calls from the harbor were distant echoes in his ears. This wasn't just any town—it was the capital of the Pirate King. A place that once felt like a second home to him.

At one point, he could have been the next Pirate King, but a lack of presence in the cutthroat world of piracy and thievery had likely cost him that dream, and with it, his place in this world. He sighed and shook his head. He had visited this port every nine months over the past year, but with a larger crew now and more mouths to feed, the visits would likely become more frequent.

Maybe this time, the beautiful ship, Shadow, would finally allow her crew to step off her dreaded deck. Gods knew Azra craved a break, a place to escape these men. Over the past two months, he'd tried to earn their trust, but it was clear they still followed Zukata more than him. That was fair, he supposed—they were Zukata's men after all—but Azrael couldn’t help but feel a deep longing for what he'd lost. A crew that felt like family. Friends he could count on.

He had Zukata, a companion, maybe even a lover, but the rest of the crew? He barely knew them. Sure, he knew their names, where they came from, the basics. But not the little things—like their favorite meals, their quirks. He wanted that closeness back.

With another sigh, Azra patted the railing of the ship. "Alright, Shadow, let us off. We’ll come back, but we've got an important shopping list to take care of—a surprise for you." He straightened, heading off to find Zukata.

"Besides," he muttered with a snort, "Zukata’s got a personal shopping list to get through." The memory of their recent conversation brought a faint smile to his face—Zukata needing another belt, a vial of oil, and likely more items that had slipped
his mind.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata was bellow deck talking with his crew, he was making sure the crew had everything in order before they docked.

He hummed softly as he assisted around, taking note of what was needed or missing and in all honesty he hoped that they'd be able to leave the ship even if it was for a night. There was things he wanted to get himself and Azra some things.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra goes down the stairs, "Zukata?" He finds his way over to the other man, grasping onto his arm.

"Kata. . ." He grumbles softly, leaning into him, inhaling deeply and pressing his nose to the other's collar. "Are you ready?"

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata hums softly and nods his head softly. "All set here captain." He chuckles softly pressing his hand to the top of Azra's head.

"The crew got everything accounted for. Let's just hope she let's us off the ship." He comments lowly

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

The ship rocks gently in agreement as she slowly finishes docking, the soft creek of wood and snapping of sails familiar.

Azra smiles softly, kissing Zukata's neck gently, "I think she will "

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata hums at the kiss and smiles. "She's been feeling great so far, so I think she will too."

"Come on, let's go." Zukata says. "I can't wait to see normal land again."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra laughs softly, "I have a list for you, men." He looks at the crew, "Here. Stuff for the ship, wood polish, proper cleaning supplies, new sails."

He passes over a purse, "And the gold required to buy. Mind yourselves, make sure none of it gets stolen."

 

[Kkjib]

One of the crew hums in acknowledgment looking at the list and holding the gold, allowing the others to look as well.

"No need to worry about them, if anything you have to worry about their pockets being deep enough for the gold they'll steal." Zukata comments enlisting a chuckle from the crew

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra rolls his eyes and shakes his head, "I don't care what you steal. Most of what's here is stolen already. Just don't get attached, don't steal from the poor." He grins.

"We give back to the poor." He touches the side of his nose before turning, "Oh, and don't add to the population, and don't take away from it unless you absolutely must."

He lifts his hat for a moment, "Be back by sundown."

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata chuckles softly. "You got it captain." One of the crew responds while the others add to it softly.
