Note: beta read by @Cloudless_Sky the kiss scene was also written by her! So go give her your love!!
“Hello, Captain, do you need anything?” Edward asked; his voice is relaxed - monotone, but there’s warmth to it.
Player blushes for a moment “I have a odd - request,” Player hesitated slightly a smile creeping up their face - Edward loves it when they smile, it’s as if they hadn’t gone through hell and back.
“Of course Captain, what is it?” He stands at attention, slightly leaning into his Captain’s personal space.
“May I have a kiss?” Player says bluntly, they end up looking away embarrassed. Edward seems to be surprised by this request - I mean it’s not everyday your Captain asks for a kiss. It wasn’t really what he was expecting. Normally their requests are ship or travel related, this was completely out of the blue.
“You want to kiss me…?” He repeats, wanting to make sure he heard player right. “Yes…” Player’s voice trails off. Player watches his face closely. “Why would you want to do that?” He internally cringes, that hadn’t been the best reply.
“Oh - well I think you’re pretty.” Player almost couldn’t speak, forcing the words out, their face was dripping in blush at this point.
Edward’s eyes widened “You think I’m pretty?” Player takes a small step forward “I - uh,” their eyes darted around. “Yes, I would say so.”
Edward rubs the back of his neck. “Well - won’t say no to something like that.” Player’s face lights up at this. “…and you are my Captain, I suppose I’m required to do as you ask.”
Player stood on their tippy toes.
And they kissed.
Edward had very minimal experience with kissing people - he actually couldn’t remember if he’d ever done it or not - he doubted Player had any experience either. As they kissed time seemed to slow to a near stop, and Edward felt as if he were on fire. This moment was soft - it was serine. A calm patch of ocean in a raging and wild storm.
The kiss was soft - if not a little awkward for the first time, but that was natural - that was normal. He slowly pulled Player closer - giving them the silent option to pull away if they wished, but they went with the flow.
They broke apart, Player’s face was red, and they blushed furiously, biting their lip.
“That was…” Edward started “Nice. it was.” Player finished the sentence for him, agreeing with a smile.
