________________________________________________________________

You had died in the 50s after an accident involving a bird and a window, so for a while, you were stuck in a house with a caveman, a headless Tudor, a woman who was thought to be a witch, a georgian lady who was extremely bubbly, an Edwardian lady who always looked like she was sucking a lemon and an extremely repressed stuck up army soldier.

Life was... you didn't want to use the word boring, but the most fun thing that happened was Thomas and robin playing dodge ball with a very upset looking Humphrey, well... his head.

During life you had adored adventure and loved books that contained adventure, sword fights and missions.

So the life.. death you were stuck with you hated... but you never complained because you were too shy to say anything. Not wanting anyone to think you were being insensitive.

When Pat died life became a bit better, because he made up clubs and activities for you all to enjoy doing,

But still, days seemed to become a boring blur of nothing... until a certain Tory came along and died, most of you kept out of his way, due to the circumstances of his death, but eventually you all warmed up to him.
You especially...

In 2000, there was a party, to celebrate the new decade, it was amazing how, without even the ability to drink, most of you ghosts seemed tipsy, it must have been the environment you were all in.

That's when you had admitted to Julian that you had a small crush on him - not that you used those words...- to this, at first he found endearingly amusing, but then he began to realize how he felt.

' y/n! Uhm y/n!' He had called after you.

' what Julian? Here to laugh at me again like you did on Monday?' You snapped, which was uncharacteristic for you, but he had hurt you with his chuckling.

'No... uhm... I'd like to apologize... I shouldn't have laughed... uh I realize it was a deeply... hurtful thing of me to do...' he said whilst stood awkwardly, not liking that he was the only one in need of apologizing.

' ... it's ok I suppose... I-'

' apologies, not to interrupt you but I hadn't finished... y/n, it's taken me a few days to realize this but... I think I might return your feelings? I'm just... not used to the whole... relationship thing, you know how my marriage was...' he said, putting his hand up to stop you talking, you looked him up and down, his stance was fairly rigid and you could see on his face how uncomfortable he was, clearly not liking being so vulnerable.

' I understand Julian.... If you like... we could take things slow?'

And from then on, you and Julian grew together, you of course had the odd argument that usually ended up being Julian's fault but you both loved each other.

To the others, this relationship just shouldn't work, it seemed odd that you, one of the quietest and pure people in the house, could love Julian, the most vulgar and crude person in the house.

They watched as your relationship bloomed, practically gobsmacked! None of them understanding, whether it be captain and Fanny insisting that he was too rude and 'morally bankrupt' for you , or it being robin insisting that you were too boring and innocent for him. But anytime anyone decided to say anything, you and Julian would just shut them down and insist you were perfect for each other.

Julian's favorite thing to do was make you blush - well... fluster as you physically could not blush - he would say the most outrageous or ridiculous things around you, to get you to fluster and go all shy, he found it adorable, but the others thought it cruel.

'Robin! Want to play chess?'

'Nah, got cross word, go play with self' robin said - always referring to what Julian would say to him when he didn't want to play.

' why would I do that when I have someone to play with me' he would say before winking at you, making you squeak softly and look down at your lap.

' oh Julian! You are disgusting!' Fanny would always scold him when he would say that

' god knows what you see in him!'

' oh she doesn't mind! She's laughing for gods sake you old prude' Julian would retort, which then resulted in a massive argument.

This would happen every time, but every time you would assure everyone that it was ok, you loved him and he loved you, that's all that matters.

Hi!!!

I hope you enjoyed this, I do like writing Julian's character because it takes more thinking as to what he would say.

Thank you for your request and I really hope it was what you wanted

Have a good day
