Edward x reader

Charming? Friendly? Thoughtful? Not at all. A complete asshole to you? Absolutely. But you couldn't call him out on being an asshole, because of course, he was your captain, Edward Kenway. Yes he may be oddly attractive, but he was always the worst person ever to you. Luckily, you got along  well with Adéwalé, Captain Kenway's quartermaster. Whenever Edward was an asshole to you, which was quite a lot, he would always reassure you it was nothing and he was always like that, although you knew it wasn't true. You had seen good sides to Edward, he just never showed that good side around you, and for no particular reason either.

After being on the seas for quite a long time, you were finally all back to Nassau just as it was getting late, much to your relief. You headed straight to the tavern with Adéwalé as soon as the crew was dismissed from the Jackdaw. Edward stayed on the ship for a while, so now was your opportunity to enjoy some time away from him. After quite a short amount of time, you and Adéwalé were already half way down your third tankards of rum. Just after you had finished your third, you heard a familiar voice enter the tavern, and walk up to the bar, where you and Adé were. You looked down past Adéwalé to see the man behind the voice. Edward. You decided to take your leave from the tavern before you had to interact in any way with him. Just as you were getting towards the exit leading to the quiet street, you heard a shout behind you "I wouldn't leave on your own lass, you probably can't handle yourself out there" Edward scoffed at you, earning laughs from his crew around him. You turned your head towards where the shout was from, leaving your body facing towards the exit "Piss off Kenway, I can handle myself better than you can handle a fucking drink" you retorted turning your head back to to street, and you left the shocked crew and captain, with swords and a pistol by your sides. 

You didn't even know where you were going, you were just blind with rage and worry. You couldn't believe he would try to humiliate you in front of the rest of the crew, but you also couldn't believe you just snapped at your captain. You tore yourself away from your thoughts and realised you had made it to the other side of Nassau, not the best area to be in when it's night. "Now what's a pretty girl like you doing out on her own in Nassau" you heard a deep, menacing voice come from your left. You looked towards the voice and saw four men walking your way, one in front, presumably the one who spoke, and three behind him. They got closer to you, but you didn't flinch, you knew you could take them don if you needed to, you hadn't been trained for 5 years before going out to sea for nothing. As they got a bit closer to you, the leader's eyes widened slightly and he spoke again, "I recognise you, you're a part of Kenway's crew, well men, I thought we were goin' to have some fun, but looks like we are gonna have to kill her now". You laughed slightly at his comment, "now, lads, let's not do anything we are going to regret, hm?" You cockily replied. The four men drew their swords, and you drew your duel swords. Two of them stepped forward and swung their swords at either side of you. You brought up your swords to meet their's, effectively disarming the man on the left, and knocking the other off balance, taking this opportunity to pierce your swords through both of them. They both dropped to the floor with a sickening thud as another man came lunging towards you. you blocked his heavy attack with both swords, bringing your knee up to his gut. He doubled over from the pain, and you stabbed your swords through his back, then quickly ripping them back out. One left. The leader quickly lunged towards you with his shoulder, knocking you down to the floor. He pushed his sword towards you but you blocked it just above your face. The leader was pushing down against your swords, edging the blades closer to your neck. Suddenly you heard a gunshot, and the man dropped to the side of you. You picked yourself up and brushed yourself off, looking towards the source of the gunshot. You sighed as soon as you realised who it was. "I don't have anything to say to you Edward" You said, starting to turn to walk away. You felt a hand grab yours, and turned you around. "You may not have anything to say, but I do" Edward looked you in the eye, still holding onto your hand. "Adéwalé told me about -" "that bastard, what did he say about me" you cut Edward off. "Nothing bad lass, but I need to apologise. He told me about how much I hurt you, and how angry and upset I made you. I never intended for this to happen, i've always wanted to be able to be close with you, like you and Adé are, but I fucked up again, and I am so sorry (Y/N)" You looked down at your feet. You had never seen Edward like this, so sincere, and truthful. You brought your eyes back up to meet his. You though all along you would never want to forgive him, but now, there was something about him you couldn't resist. "I forgive you Edward, and I understand" You softly replied to him. He pulled you into his arms, and embraced you into a hug you didn't know you needed. You wrapped your arms around him tightly, and he buried his face in your neck. From there on, everything got better. You became the happiest you had ever been, and it was all because of Edward.

A/N: So this one is pretty long. I had no idea what to write this time tbh, it kinda just happened?
