The slight pinching sensation at his shoulder as teeth sank against his flesh brought a smile to Charles’ lips even as familiar arms snaked about his waist. This was a new sort of arrangement, but there was little to it that was not welcome or enjoyable. Joji’s silent manners of initiating tended to shift the brewing storms of oncoming bad moods rather elegantly, though Charles would never own to that. 

Shifting, Charles turned in the other man’s hold – a feat made simple by the fact Joji was wise enough to never try to pin or capture, and was generally quite malleable to whatever happened to be required at any given moment. Stained hands gripped the other’s hips to make it clear this was no rejection, ink from the tedious task of book keeping still clinging to prints more suited to hard labour than the more delicate task of holding a quill.

“Is this what you’ve been lingering for, or are you simply letting me know it’s time to leave the rest to Jack?” He never expected Joji to reply in any verbal sense – was quite used to inquiring into the air between them and marveling at how much the man could tell him without a word. Sometimes though – sometimes he had no fucking idea what the man was trying to tell him, and it was damn near maddening. Especially when, for all he knew, the man wasn’t saying anything at all – literally and figuratively. 

But it worked, this silence, and Charles often found he didn’t mind it at times like these, when he was pulling the Easterner close to him and leaning down to taste the skin of his neck. This was something neither one of them needed to communicate too much in – and perhaps that was why they enjoyed each other so.

🤒 – caring for them when sick/injured | TF’s Joji to Charles

{ Nonverbal Starters }

It was not unusual for Jack to leave someone he trusted to look after Charles at times like these – only generally speaking the one he trusted up until most recently had been Anne. The few times both he and Anne had been out of commission like this, Jack had found a way to tend to them both personally while managing the ship – which was of course among the many reasons Charles kept the man so close regardless of the way others so frequently doubted him.

Now, it seemed there was another that had managed to earn the trust of Jack and the respect of Anne enough to be entrusted with Charles while he was in a vulnerable state. Knowing that this man had their trust was the only thing that kept him calm as Joji handed over the basin he needed to wash up with. He liked this one well enough – he was skillful as he was silent, and he had a no nonsense attitude Charles could get behind. 

Still, he was watchful as he washed up, the water quickly turning murky from the dirt and the blood that caked his hands and arms from the fight. This was a shift in routine for him, and one that he felt was understandable to be somewhat wary of. 

The worst of the mess washed off, he sat down and debated the merits of this – with a man who did not speak there was little to learn, at least through speech. Instead, Charles nudged the chair before him with his foot, indicating the man should take a seat. He had skin that needed sewing – might as well put the man to the task, and see how well he took to it.
