    Summary

    Stede's birthday is coming up and all he really wants is a pirate themed party. His boyfriend thinks he's being childish and stupid. The handsome stranger in the cake aisle disagrees.
    ~~~~~
    “Pirates, is it?”

    “Please don’t tease. I really don’t think I can handle any more ridicule today.”

    “Shit, no I didn’t mean it like that. I’m a bit of a pirate nerd myself. Can I show you something?” He began unbuttoning his dress shirt before Stede could form the words to answer.

    “What are you doing?” he started to ask, trailing off quickly as his mouth went dry at the sight of the man’s bare chest where he had pulled his undershirt all the way up. Stede was too distracted to finish speaking by the overall impression: a canvas of ink covered skin, muscular and soft in all the right places, a tantalizing trail of dark hair leading Stede’s eyes down, down…

    Fuck. Focus, Bonnet.

    He dragged his focus back to the inked images which were surely the point of this man’s public indecency.

    (Mary to Ed, some time later):
    “So, do you throw personalized birthday parties for all of your patrons, or just the ones you show your tits to in the grocery store?”

    Summary

    “You’re sweet, Stede,” Ed tells him. “I’ll do it.”

    “I’m sorry?”

    “I’ll do it. I’ll marry you.”

    Stede’s mouth falls open, because there’s absolutely no fucking way this is happening to him, and yet—

    And yet, Ed says: I’ll marry you, and it feels like a lifeline.

    “You’re serious?” Stede asks. “You really want to do this?”

    Stede doesn’t expect the beautiful stranger across the bar to say Yes when he asks to fake marry him. He also doesn’t expect to become fake fiancés with benefits, but it seems like they’re both going to get more out of this than they could ever have hoped for.

    The only thing is, Stede always thought that when he did marry, it could be for love.

    Maybe one day, it will be.
