Captain x Reader Pt 2

Oh my gosh I'm so so sorry for the wait for this! Its been half term and it's been so hectic. I had a lot of books to read for school and I've been busy around the house. I spent a while procrastinating about this too while worrying it wouldn't be good at the same time. I hope its as good as the last one! :)

This is a follow up of my last chapter. You'll need to read that first or this will make no sense whatsoever.

A little summary of this story so far: Alexander Edwards, the newest ghost of Button House, committed suicide on the 28th of October 2020 (I didn't want Alison's baby to be born yet). They have lots of new people and histories to discover, romances to blossom in, and pasts to delve deep into. The biggest secret? He was the great grandson of none only than Anthony William Havers. A character study on the Captain, looking into his past and my OC's too, while making them fall in love bc why not.

"Sir? Did you?" You asked, having waiting for a good while as the Captain went through a supposed turmoil of emotions, mostly hurt, from the look in his eye. "Sir?"

"Yes, lad?"

"Did you, uhm, know him?.." Cap seemed to realised he had zoned out. "Oh. Uh, why yes. I did. He was my lieutenant. Lovely chap." 

"Could you maybe tell me about him? I only knew so much as he died when I was barely even born. I never really got to know him very well and I regret that." 

The Captain sighed."I suppose I could probably tell you something. I adored him, and after he left to go to North Africa I wasn't the same. I didn't know what to do with myself. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. Knowing he was so far away, it broke me. I wish I could've admitted to myself that I could not live without him. That I loved him. My life changed when he was here, proving that I could not go on when he left. I was distraught. The best lieutenant I'd ever had. When the news came about that he died. I was even more ruined. I killed myself to be with him, though I never did get to see him again. Now though, I wish I had known him better. I don't understand why any of my soldiers would have lied about it. It doesn't make sense. But perhaps they thought that if I thought he was dead, I would've been able to carry with my job. I suppose they were wrong, but now you're here and I know that he did in fact make it." he stopped abruptly, apparently knowing that he'd been rambling. 

You smiled at him. "He talked about you a lot you know. Captain the heroic man that brought him from his misery. You changed him. Of course I didn't know him when he was younger, but I've been told he spiralled far into his mind. His father sent him off to the army to avoid having the shame of sending his fine son to an asylum. You were the person he trusted most. I'm told he adored you just as much as you did, and I know it was true. His wife always knew that he didn't love her, not in that way, and as much as it pained her, she never objected. She not believe that those ghastly laws were right. She knew that William should've been able to love who he so desperately loved. You." The Captain's eyes were wide in surprise. They then crinkled as a huge smile broke through his usual stern demeanour. It was so incredibly sweet that you couldn't help pulling the young man into an embrace. 

Surprisingly, he did not stiffen, nor hold back. He sank into the hug and even seemed to enjoy it. You smiled into his shoulder, savouring the warmth of his arms. The two of you broke apart somewhat awkwardly, the Captain's face flushed a deep crimson. He let out a little gasp. "Good lord. I'm sorry." The Captain had always been taught to bury his emotions, though this was unknown to you. It was only now that you noticed how beautiful he looked in the pale light of the almost fully set sun. Oh, how brilliant would it be to kiss him? Maybe he'd let me.. No. Of course he wouldn't. Your internal voice supplied rather unhelpfully. But considering the circumstances, you were already dead, and you never took risks while you had been alive. What would one mistake really do? 

Sure, you'd have to spend eternity with him until he got 'sucked off' as one of the ghosts had so eloquently explained it. So, rather uncharacteristically, you decided to bite the bullet and go for it. You leaned back in and pressed your lips to his. The Captain tensed, only to relax again after he pulled away to catch his breath. You visibly short circuited, terrified that he would hate you. But you weren't at all expecting what happened next. He wrapped his arms around your neck and kissed you softly. His lips were slightly chapped, and his breath was warm and sweet like vanilla. He broke apart from you, gasping slightly and a smiled planted on his lips. "Alex." he whispered. "Captain.. I-" He cut you off. "Teddy. My name's Teddy."

I'm so sorry if this sucked i have no idea how to write a kiss :]

But yea thats all I could do. Sorry its so short I'm gonna try and get better at this. :) Hope you enjoyed it 

Ghost :D
