“Shall We Dance?” OFMD fic (Spoilers for s2)

Israel Hands and Stede bonnet stood on opposing sides of the ship. The two held swords. It has been years since they saw one another and after Edward’s death was the perfect time. Izzy took a step forward raising his sword towards Stede. 

“Shall we dance?” 

Izzy asked as he twirled his sword slightly. 

“I thought you’d never ask” 

Stede said in response raising his sword. Izzy moved forward to swing at Stede but was severely caught off guard when Bonnet took ahold of his wrist. Out of confusion Izzy dropped his sword. 

It all happened so fast. Bonnet pulled Izzy closer to him, holding one of Izzy’s hands out. He brought his hand to Izzy’s waist and set it near the back. Next thing Izzy knew he was facing bonnet in the position to follow a ballroom dance. 

“This isn’t-“

Izzy started only to be swung around in the turn of the dance. Now, Israel wasn’t the best dancer. No one had ever taught him the more fancier dances. He was honestly just being swung around in a graceful manner. 

The dance continued, stede taking Izzy’s hand and spinning him. The dance only ended when Izzy felt his legs being swiped out from under him. Izzy’s back hit the hard wood of the ship’s deck. When his eye’s reopened he saw the tip of Bonnet’s sword against his nose. 

“Well played.” 

Izzy said with a grin.
