_____________________________
It's been a few weeks since the last Golden Dawn mission where they had to fight some of their enemies and where that one scene stuck in Captain Vangeance's mind. He hasn't stopped working to discover the whereabouts of that person, the only person who saw him without a mask and who respected him even if he was an enemy. He has been sending people to look for some clue or something else that would lead to you. He even wondered a few times if you still remembered him.
"Captain, I found the person you were looking for"Yuno said, entering the room to deliver to the captain the results of a long investigation
"Where?"William rose from his chair, eager for the discovery
"They were spotted in a hiding place somewhere in a forest near a village outside the kingdom" Yuno handed the report to the captain and he observed it carefully
"Thank you very much, really. You did an excellent job, Yuno" William looked at the knight and smiled
"Well, I'll go there to take a look. See you soon"William left the office
The captain descended the slope while avoiding some branches that appeared in the path, looking ahead. He saw a river and approached the edge, he stood there for a moment looking around him and when he least expected it, an arrow passed by him and pierced the tree trunk from the other side of the river.
William turned to the side and saw who he was looking for most, you. He smiled and you lowered the bow, smiling back at him.
"Are you looking for me?" You asked
"Yes, but it seems like you found me first" He walked towards you
"I knew you would come, do you want to talk to me, is that it?"
"Yes, you're right. I think now we can be more comfortable than we were that night" William came close to you and you looked at him. "How have you been, Y/n?"
"Did they tell you my name?" You looked at him a little surprised
"I found out when I searched your data"
"I see...I separated myself from others, I decided I didn't want that life and I isolated myself here"
"I'm happy about that, you've changed for the good"
"Yeah... What about you? Why don't you take off your mask?"
"Do...Do you want me to take it off?"He asked a little nervously
"It's just you and me here and I missed your face" You said and he smiled
"Fine, I'll take it off" His slightly shaking hands grabbed the mask and removed it from his face, revealing the large scar
You looked at it, seeing the slight shyness in his eyes and smiled at him as if you wanted to convey some confidence.
"Does it bother you that much?"
"A little, I always keep the mask inside my hq so that no one sees it. People get scared when they see it. I was mistreated in the past for being born like this" His eyes lowered a little and you could read the sadness in the eyes. You couldn't imagine how cruel people would be to mistreat an innocent child just because of something they weren't responsible for.
You crouched down by the river and moistened your hands in the water and stood up again with his eyes following you, confused by the action. You approached and wiped the sweat from his forehead due to the heat of the mask, your fingers gently passed over the scarred skin and massaged it.
William was very quiet while you did it, enjoying every gentle movement of your hands passing all over his face. He felt a slight warmth in his cheeks with all that care and tenderness, something he had never had before and that was coming from someone he hadn't even imagined.
You ran your hands along his face, removing a few drops that ran down his turtleneck and finally smiled at him.
"There was just some sweat on your forehead but you're clean now" You said
"Thank you, that was very kind of you" He looked up and smiled at you
"Come on, let's go for a walk" You held out your hand and he took it to followed you
You took William for a long walk while the two of you talked about things about your lives. He was enjoying every minute he was with you, that feeling inside him only grew more and more. The captain was getting lost in the brightness of your eyes that focused on him as he talked.
You took him to a high place where you could both see the sunset and sat on a rock while you watched it set.
"Did you like our afternoon?" You asked him
"I loved it, it was very special. You really surprised me a lot, you turned out to be an incredible person" He said and you looked down a little embarrassed
"Thank you. You know, my other comrades didn't pay me compliments either and seeing that someone cares about me is something that makes me very happy. Your knights must really like you, right?"
"You deserve this love, you deserve to be loved" You held his hands and he was a little touched. It was as if his inner child was healing from those soul wounds.
"I don't even know what to say"He whispered, looking away
"Don't say anything, you don't need to say anything else, William. Your eyes say it all" You smiled
A silent moment followed between you and the captain. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, you stood up and walked away from the place and he looked at you.
"It's getting dark, I need to go back to my hiding place. It's dangerous to stay in the woods at night"
"Wait..."William stood up and you turned to him."You don't need to go back"
"I said... You don't need to go back and hide anymore"
"Why?" You frowned, confused
"Come with me, I'll take you to the Golden Dawn"
"Are you crazy? They would kill me because I was one of the faces of the enemy" You laughed but he insisted again
"I protect you, you will be part of my group of knights and you won't need to worry about anything else"William proposed and you considered
Deep down, he was offering you an opportunity to change your life and there was no way to deny it. You looked at him and felt so grateful that your paths had crossed and you had met him. He no longer saw you as an enemy but as someone special to him that he needed and you saw him as someone unique and kind that you admired immensely.
You walked towards him and you looked at him for a moment as you organized your words.
"Alright, I accept going with you but promise me you will stay by my side"
"I promise, I will be your captain and your best friend at all times"He assured you, smiling at you
"Let's go then, I want to know that place"You winked at him
"You will be very welcome"
