Stolas x Female Reader: Bonding Time

"(Y/N), are you in here? Master Stolas wishes to speak with...(Y/N)?" Boxley entered your room to see you sitting at your desk, mumbling to yourself as you stared down at the paper.

"Maybe if I changed this...no, he might think I'm being too 'needy'. I don't want him to think I'm a harlot. What if I said this instead?" You continued to write your letter, finally able to finish with a satisfied sigh.

"Still working on that confession letter I see?" Boxley chuckled, making you quickly stash it in your desk.

"M-Mister Boxley, hello. What can I do for you?" you asked with a nervous laugh.

"Nice try little lady, I saw that paper. You still haven't given him your letter?"

"...No, I'm too nervous! What if he thinks of it as a joke? What if he laughs at me?! What if--?!"

"(Y/N) please, what reason do you have to be nervous? You speak with him just as much as I do."

"But he speaks with you the most...Do you think he would love...um...like someone like me?" you asked, flustered as you corrected your words.

"You're one of the brightest maids I've trained my dear, I'm certain he would 'like' you." he teased "Speaking of his highness, he wishes for our presence in the library. I must warn you, he does look rather stressed." he said as he led you out. Once you reached the library, you both entered to see the prince pacing back and forth.

"What should I do? Or better yet, how am I going to do this? Will she listen to me, what will she even say once I tell her?" Stolas muttered to himself nervously.

"Oh dear, he is quite stressed. Does this have to do with Lady Stella's departure by any chance? It has been 3 days since she left...Why did she leave again?" you asked quietly.

"I'm surprised you haven't heard, he and Lady Stella are on an 'extended break' so to speak. He had the idea for Master Blitzø and his daughter to have some bonding time."

"The 2 of them, bonding? Is that really such a wise idea?"

"That's what I kept asking myself as well." Stolas whimpered, sitting in the closest chair "This is why I called you both here. Out of all the servants on the staff I confide in you both the most, you especially Boxley. So I want your honest opinion, do you think I should go through with this?" he asked eagerly waiting for his answer.

"If this is what you want, you should go for it sire. It will certainly clear the air between the 2 of them, considering that they only met once. From what you told me, that trip to Loo Loo Land wasn't quite the experience for either of them."

"Indeed it wasn't, I completely screwed that up. If I was more focused on flirting with him than I was bonding with Via. This is a chance for all 3 of us to bond...if I can get them to agree to show up. Tell me (Y/N), where do you think I should hold this little meeting? In the garden, here in the library, the greenhouse, the observatory maybe?"

"Goodness, your highness, please slow down. I've never seen you so nervous before, you've nearly named half the areas on the castle." you commented.

"Because I don't know which one to choose! The ballroom would be too large, and far too showy for a casual get together. Maybe I should keep it inside, the weather has been unpredictable these past few days."

"If I may sire, if you wish to keep it indoors, why not here? We could have some music playing on the phonograph, have some tea ready..."

"And perhaps a spot of rum for your nerves." Boxley joked, making him laugh.

"Mr. Boxley, please."

"No, a drink does sound good right about now...Here I thought preparing for the exams at the university was stressful, I can't remember the last time my nerves were so shattered." he sighed, Boxley handing him a glass.
