A Journey Through Time (Tintin x Reader)

The next day, we were all having breakfast when Nestor came with a small tray in his hand.

'A letter for you Miss' he lowered the tray with a single single envelope lying on the middle.

'Oh' I left kept the slice of bread I've been buttering on the plate and took the letter.

Captain and Tintin paused eating for a while, but carried on afterwards.

I turned the envelope to see a coat of arms on the right hand corner. The Syldavian military.
I ripped the envelope open and took out a thick piece of paper opening it.

I read it silently and...

My heart sank.

I couldn't think, or feel anything because my whole body turned numb.

I kept staring at the letter.

'(Y/N), is everything alright?' I heard Tintin ask.

Trying my best not to let my tears fall, 'Never been better' I spat out bitterly.
I could already sense their two stunned faces.

'I just need some air...excuse me' I got up, excusing them and went out towards the garden.

'Ya alright lass?' I heard captain ask. I didn't reply, I ran out.

I ran out of the main door noticing there were no guards near the gate. I ran through professor's rose beds and ended up near the meadow I came from.

I went down the hill and sat on the grass, curling up to a ball, thinking what the purpose of my life is.

I cried, letting all my emotions out.

How could they? After all those bloody days working day and night. My dad? He was so proud of me. How am I going to face him?

I've let my dad down, my mom down, my whole generation down. The stupidest person in the entire family.

I kept sobbing until I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I gasped. Lifting my head I saw Tintin gently looking at me.

'Are you here to pity me? Because I don't need it' I wiped my tears from my hand.

'Here...I think you need this' Tintin offered me his neatly folded handkerchief.

I took it from his hand, looking down. He sat next to me.

'How do you know I'd be here?' I asked him wiping my face from his hankie.

'I just thought so' he kept his eyes fixed to the distance. He then looked at me.

'Whatever is the matter (Y/N)?' He asked kindly.

I looked at him and sighed.

'Fired' I said blankly.

'I'm sorry?'

'Fired'

This time I fixed my gaze to the distance, not wanting to face him.

There was a silence. He tried to speak up, but I broke the ice first.

'They fired me...because I got exposed; kidnap they mean'

Tintin froze surprise. 'So that's why the guards left, I was about to tell you' he continued. 'But, It's not your fault? There's something we can..'

'Do what Tintin?' I asked sadly. 'This all because of me. Cause I got in that stupid car... I knew something's wrong, but I chose it anyway! They've got a point' I blurted out. I felt so silly.

'Hey, you had nothing to do about it...again, it's not your fault (Y/N)' he reassured me.

'Well they think I do' I handed over the letter to him.

He read it, and furrowed.

'So?  you still think it's not my fault?' I questioned.

'Yes, I still think it's not your fault...this letter...it all seem strange to me' He muttered.

'What do you mean?'

'I feel like it's a part of a plan, like they deliberately kidnapped you to fire you'

'Oh come on don't be stupid Tintin, why would they do that?'

'Because I've worked with them (Y/N), just like you with calculus. They are not ridiculous enough to fire you just because you were kidnapped' he stated.

This time I felt stupid.

'You have a point there'

'Look, trust me, we'll sought this out. Now come on, let's go inside. We...can go watch a movie, if that would make you feel better' he smiled.

Did he just?

'That...doesn't sound bad' I looked down smiling bashfully.

He caught my funny look.

'What?' He asked, then realized, and blushed.

'I bet Captain would have lots to say about this'. I joked.

He grinned. 'Well, I agree with you about that'
