"Reader is captain Haddock's long lost niece"
(The picture is of a tomboy in 1938, thought it looked cool :3)
(Your Pov)
I took a deep breath as I stood outside of the mansion-like house called Marlinspike Hall. It's been so long since last time I was here, I was problably like, 6 years old. I just turned 18 and that means I can do what I want, and I want to visit my uncle. My parents didn't want me there cause of uncle Archie's drinking problems, but I don't care. I looked down at my jacket, brushed some dirt off.
With a shaky hand I knocked on the door and waited. A few minutes later the door opened to reveal uncle Archie's butler, Nestor.
"Ah, miss (Y/N). My have you grown." He said and let me in.
"It's good to see you again Nestor, is uncle Archie here?" I asked as I took off my coat, Nestor took the coat, dusted it off with his hand and hung it by some other coats and jackets.
"Indeed he is dear, he is in the living space. If you please." He motioned me to follow him and he lead me to a door that problably leads to the living space. "Please wait here," Nestor said and walked inside, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, this was it.
"Sir, you have a guest." I heard Nestor say.
"Ya can let 'em in." I heard the gruff yet yentle voice of uncle Archie, hearing his voice again made me smile, as I stepped into the room I heard a gasp and that someone dropped a glass, making it shatter on the floor. I looked up to see my uncle sit in his chair, he stared at me as if I was a ghost.
I rubbed my arm and smiled at him. "Hi uncle Archie," I said gently. Without a word he stood up from his chair, walked straight to me and brought me into a bone crushing hug and I happily hugged back. I felt my eyes watered and I started to shake, and so did uncle Archie.
He pulled away from the hug and his hands was placed on my shoulders and for a moment we just stared.
"Oh lass, you've grown so much. I thought I'd never see ya again." He said, I could tell he was about to cry cause his voice started to shake as well. "Well, mom and dad can't keep me away forever," I smiled at him. The awsome thing about uncle Archie is that he doesn't care that I'm a tomboy, unlike my parents...
My eyes fell upon a boy that sat in the other chair and was smiling at us and uncle Archie noticed it.
"Blistering Barnacles! Tintin! Come meet my niece, (Y/N) Haddock! (Y/N), this is Tintin! A really good friend of mine." He proudly said. 'Tintin' got up from his chair and offered me his hand.
"It's nice to meet you, (Y/N)." He smiled and wow, he had a charming smile. It made me blush but I felt a little uneasy but I didn't want to be rude so I took his hand in mine. "It's nice to meet you too Tintin, I've read some of your articles." I said.
(Later in the evening)
(Tintin's Pov)
I knew the captain had a niece, he told me that his sister didn't want him around her daughter, which is kinda sad. I felt bad for him and his niece, they seemed really close.
And she is nothing like I expected, she didn't wore a dress or a skirt. And her hair was cut short, but I thought it looked pretty nice, it's not so often you see a girl with so short hair.
I don't think I have the courage to say it infront of the captain, but she is really pretty. But she kept her distance from me, as soon as we stopped shaking hands she kinda ripped her hand away from mine... I do hope I'm not making her uncomftarble.
(Some weeks later)

I was in my room, looking out of the window. It was really nice here, I love how my uncle is living. The nature is just so wonderful, every morning I woke up to bird singing and it made me smile every time.
Me and uncle Archie have been catching up on things and it felt just great to be spending time with him again, Tintin had been trying to get to know me but I've just...pushed him away, don't get me wrong he seems nice but there is something about him that makes me feel uneasy.
Is it because he's so famous in the newspaper?
Is it cause he knows uncle archie?
Is it because he sometimes lives here?
I was brought back to earth when I heard someone knock on my door, I thought it was problably Nestor or uncle Archie so I walked over and opened the door but I felt my heart stop when I saw Tintin.
"Hello (Y/N)," He said while smiling. I weakly smiled back. "Hello Tintin, eh how are you?" I said, unsure with myself. "I'm great thank you! How about you?"
Gosh I felt uncomftarble now.
"I'm good thank you, uh was it something you needed?" His smile seemed to grow bigger.
"Yes, I thought if you wanted to have a walk around the property?" He smiled hopefully. I froze. A walk? Just the two of us? Alone?
"Um, I-I don't know..." I started.
"Come on, it could be fun! I heard that a bee farmer just got some fresh honey on sale, we go and buy some and have it with our breakfast."
And for a moment, I said nothing. But then he broke the silence.
"I'm sorry for asking but, why do you keep pushing me away?" He asked carefully.
"What?" I asked, even if I knew why. "Everytime I try to be nice you just push me away, like I'm some sort of sickness." He looked a little sad at me and it made me feel bad.
"I'm sorry Tintin, it's just...it's just something about you that makes me uneasy..." I looked away from him and rubbed my arm. Then I felt his hand on my shoulder and I looked at him.
"Well, that's because you don't know me yet. But you could get to know me if we could go for a walk, please?"
I thought about it, maybe it's just that I don't know him that makes me uncomftarble.
"I guess...we could.." I mumbled.
"Great! Let's go before all the honey is sold out!" He gently grabbed my arm and we started to walk down the stairs and out the front door.
As we walked he talked about the adventures he had been through with uncle Archie and the more he talked, the more I got comftarble around him and started to laugh at some of his jokes he threw in.
Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea.
