Eyes of Blue, Heart of Stone (Baroness X Femme Reader)

The Way Old Friends Do

Victoria waited until she was sure you were fast asleep to start crying into her big fluffy teddy bear. She couldn't and wouldn't tell you she was scared. You were ever so emotional and although she loved you for it, she feared she would hurt your feelings if she couldn't preform.

"Victoria?" John whispered. She sniffed and met his eye. "Are you okay?" He asked. "This really isn't something I can talk to you about." She grumbled.

John sat on the bed.

"Y/N. It's about Y/N isn't it?" He read. "Maybe..." Victoria sighed, sitting next to him. "Did she make you do this?" He asked. "I said she could do what she wanted." She admitted. "You understand that you could say no." He replied. "I- I was kind of having a nice time and I wasn't sore then. Plus I don't want to make her upset!"

John sighed. This wasn't going to be an easy fix was it?

"Victoria, I know that you've been through hell and I know that you are scarred." John began. "You better be going somewhere with this!" Victoria huffed. "I am. I know that he hurt you and that that has left it's mark but you have to tell Y/N no sometimes. She isn't going to scream or yell or get angry." John said, with a strict tone to his voice.

"You don't know that!"

"You love her, don't you?"

"More than anything!"

"So you need to be open with her!"

"But I'm scared!"

John wrapped his arm around his boss. She was cold and spoiled and irritating and dramatic and she treated him like crap at times, but he knew that she needed his support right now. "And that's okay." He reassured. "Would you like me to push Y/N in the right direction?" He asked. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Let her down slowly. Hint that she may need to get the truth out of you before you go all- filthy like that."

"That would help me a lot John."

"By the way, ma'am, the maid dress was adorable!"

He ran out of the room giggling.
