Falling in Love (Alexander X Reader)

Love Letters...

I get back home, ready to burst into tears...Why? Why do I not hate Alexander for what he did??? My mind makes me flash back to the night, I remember that night I just might, Rewind

What is the point of Alexander waiting for me to return from the war if he can just have a woman now? I suddenly think of the times I almost died, I only stayed for him. How stupid!

I get to the door of the house and walk in, practicing my smile so I don't worry Martha and George. I put my hand on the door knob and twist to reveal Martha holding a cat.

"Y/n, look! I got a cat and named him Alexander", she smiled, petting the cat.

"How lovely", I hate that name, poor cat has to live with that name. I reach out to pet the cat.

"Are you okay?", she looks at me worried.

"It's nothing, just worried about not finding a husband", I lied.

"I can arrange a marriage, oh, and then you can stay and you won't go!", she realized.

"Please don't"

"Oh, I will right now"

"Mom!"

"Fine, but you better find a husband, before I do", she chuckles.

On cue, dad walks in to see me, "Oh, Martha! I totally forgot! Y/n has a crush"

"DAD!!!", I feel my face burn up.

"Please tell me! I feel so left out", Mom smiled.

"It's A-", I cover his mouth, as I tackle him to the ground and Martha laughs.

"Thanks for the hint! I'ma go look at every guy, who has a name that starts with an A", she teased.

"Please don't!", I feel my face get even redder.

"Y/n's got a boyfriend~!", Martha beams.

"No I don't!"

~~~

We sat down for dinner and all of the sudden Martha starts to look at me and dad in a worried look.

"I'm gonna miss you guys! The house is so empty without you!"

"We'll be back before you know it", I assured her.

"What if one of you don't come back alive?", she sniffles.

"We'll be fine, Y/n is a true survivor", George comments.

Martha seemed to cheer up, "Please come back, a life without any of you is the dullest life ever"

"Meow", the cat, Alexander, sounded like he agreed. I hate this cat, it reminds me too much of Alexander. It's like Alexander is in the cat, begging for me to love him as he rubs himself against my legs.

After dinner, I go to my room and start to write a letter,

Dear Alexander,

Guess what? My mom got a cat. You wouldn't believe what she named him! Alexander! After you! I swear, my mom has more of a crush on you than I do!

I suddenly realize that I admitted to liking him and crush the paper, and tossed it to the side of the desk. I decide to start over, but end up writing the same exact words! I crumple the paper again and start over this time, it was worse!

My Dearest, Alexander,

My lips ache, I need to kiss you again! I like you, no I love you!

I wasn't thinking straight when I wrote all of that! Why? Why is this happening? I review that love letter I wrote and realized I put a comma between dearest and Alexander! I feel the heat on my face as I look at my embarrassing ass writing.

"Oh, Y/n~", I hear dad as I hear footsteps get closer to my door, "What'ca doing? Can I come in?"

I scramble to hide all the failed letters I tried to write, I hid them in the drawer.

"Come in", I yell, then I realized the first draft I wrote was still sitting on the desk, shit!

Dad walks in and says, "So what are ya doing?"

I try to find a response and he looks over at my desk and picks up the ball of paper.

"Don't read that, please!", but it was too late, he smoothed out the paper and started reading to himself. I see as he finishes, a smile gets curved into his lips.

"I knew it! You like him!", my dad teases me. I realize at any second Martha will walk in and find out. This is it, this is the end of the world!

"WHAT?!?!", I hear Martha yell, I hear footsteps, she is running up the stairs. "LET ME SEEEEEE!!!"

She comes to my room and snatches the paper from George's hand. She reads and and looks at me, smiling. George is laughing his ass off and I start to cry.

"What's wrong?", Martha rushed over to my side.

"Nothing, it's just that you guys are making fun of me, I knew this would happen", I sniffed.

"George stop laughing!", Martha shouted, hugging me, "It's alright dear, I will make sure he doesn't find out"

"He knows", Dad and I explained at the same exact time.

"Oh, then why are you sad?"

"Because I saw him kiss Eliza at the Winter's Ball, but he apologized"

"Oh", Martha's eyes widened.

"It doesn't matter anymore, I am going to go fight a war and that will be enough to occupy me from him"

"Well if he apologized, then he loves you", she assured me.

"Thanks for the advice and dad I swear if I hear you laugh, I will kill you!", I see him open the drawer, where the other drafts are. I rush over and slam the drawer shut.

"What are all those papers?", he smirks.

"Failures", I tell him. I see as George tries his best not to laugh.

"What's so funny anyways?", I ask him.

"I'm sorry, your writing is cringy", he bites his lip.

"If my writing is so cringy, then I advise you to not look at the other papers"

Alexander, the cat, walks in on cue, feeling as if he missed out on something important. The cat strolls his way to me and puts his body against my legs, trying to get love from me. I swear this cat is somehow linked to the real Alexander. I pick it up and look into his eyes. People say those are the gateway to your soul and I see an innocent cat, meowing.
