You and Julian have a huge crush on each other, but you are scared to commit to a relationship because of how his marriage was like.

—————————————

You had died in the early 2000s after a concert and afterwards, when you were driving home, you accidentally crashed your car into a tree on Button House property. Luckily it was just you in the car.

At first, you didn't realise you were dead, so you went to seek help from inside button house.
No one would listen to you and they all just ignored you.

Eventually, you stumbled across the common room to be met with random historical figures.

"Ahh there's another one to add to the collection" Said the pantless one.

Although you didn't quite know what he meant, you knew you liked him immediately.

"Uhh what do you mean by that?"

A scoutmaster then cut in by saying, "Well, what Julian is trying to say is, you're dead mate. We are all ghosts, meaning the living can't see or hear us.

Time skip brought to you by Brigadier General Sir Anthony Bartholomew Raisinby jones.

It was twenty years after your death and both you and Julian knew of each others crush on the other, but you were too scared to make the first move. So Julian decided to approach you in the deserted common room one day.

(Do those sentences make sense? No. Am I going to change them? Also no.)

"I, uh y/n, would it be alright if I borrowed you?"

"Yeah sure what would you like?"

Julian took you to his room and said he would like to discuss something privately. You're glad that no one was in the common room at the time.

"Well, I think I'm in love with you y/n. And I think you feel the same way."

You froze, unsure of what to do. Yes you had a crush on him, ever since you died you liked him. But, there was one problem, what if it turned out to be the same situation as his marriage? You would rather just forget that you have a crush on him to save yourself the pain.

"Y/n? Are you alright?"

You couldn't handle the situation so you got out of the room as quickly as possible. Seconds later, you heard Julian's footsteps following behind attempting to catch up.

You continued out of the house and towards the woods in hopes of losing him. During your time at button house, you had found a secret sheltered area that you deemed as your own. That was the place you would go if everything got too stressful.

What if I'm not enough for him? Or what if he's just joking and has done this on a sick prank with Robin? Or maybe...

Your thoughts spiralled until you had gotten to your space. You took your place upon the log and held your head in your hands.

"Ah y/n there you are. Are you ok?"

You didn't want to say anything but it all came out at once.

"I really really like you Julian and want to date you but I can't help but think about your relationship with your wife and that I won't be able to satisfy you."

"Y/n, I promise that it'll be different. I've learned from my mistakes and want to spend time with you."

You were still a bit sceptical but decided to follow your heart instead if your brain.

Quickly, you leaned in and pecked Julian on the lips.

I guess what he said was true...

We are better together.

I think this was the worst thing I've ever written. I need to get the hang of writing other characters that are not Captain. I understand that will happen with time but it's frustrating.

I'm really sorry if this is not what you wanted.
