Getting Old

Erotic short. Two old men sleepy on a pirate ship.

Cis M/M, rated E, 1k. Sleepy sex, intercrural, teasing, a bit of banter, mostly just two old men being tired and achy together!

The old man is passed right out, sprawled naked on his belly in his bunk, and Adal rolls his shoulders as he steps inside and lets the door drop closed behind him. He’d been on since before dawn, Adal is pretty sure — one of the boys had been on watch and had called for the surgeon after old Red had had another funny turn. It’s his heart, Adal is pretty sure, and once they next make port somewhere Dixon is going to cash out his shares and let him loose.

Red Smith is the oldest man on the ship at fifty-nine — when he’s gone, Dixon will be the oldest man aboard by a decade.

Adal doesn’t even think he looks particularly good for it — looking at Dixon and Red side-by-side, even with the sorry state of Red’s heart, you’d be forgiven for thinking that they were the same age, or even that Dixon was the older man between them. That didn’t particularly bother Adal — he’s the wrong side of forty himself, and he’s already planning to follow Dixon ashore whenever he decides to cash out himself.

He doesn’t want to do so, Adal knows that, but the choice is gonna be made for him soon enough — he’s stiff and pained whenever a storm comes around or whenever they have a heavy day with a lot of labour. So is Adal, for that matter.
