Why do I let myself dream like this?-Wriothesley x reader Flufftober

Wriothesley had loved you since the moment he saw you, despite you being a prisoner in the fortress of Menopide. He had done his best to keep his distance from you but couldn't help but see you everywhere at the cafeteria, the boxing ring and the workplace. How you had caught it continued to baffle him, maybe it was your beauty or your kindness. How could someone like you get sent down here?

Wriothesley had done a little background research on you as he does with everyone. He found out a few unexpected things about you. You were orphaned at a young age and sent to live with a foster family who wasn't very good. So you took to the streets. Stealing and fighting just too by, and somehow through all of that you remained happy and cheerful. Or so he thought.

One night a fellow inmate caught you crying, and soon many others were giving you pity looks. Including the duke. So you kept your head down and kept working. No one would bother you right as long as you kept to yourself.

"Hey, it's y/n right?"

You jumped from the deep voice that came behind you. "A-ah yeah.." Ah shit it was the duke you could hardly squeak out words

"Could I speak to you for a moment? In my office?"

"Of course sir..."

You followed closely behind him and as you were walking you could see people whisper things about the two of you. Maybe some secret affair was going on like some thought. Or maybe he really did just want to talk to you.

In his office sat a desk in the middle of the room. With four bookshelves, two on either side, about a third of the way up the wool. In Between the middle bookshelves, there was something that looked to be a massive cog on the wall. A staircase leading somewhere also was right side as you walked in. The office itself was a tad bit plant but overall comforting.

"What was it you needed to talk to me about sir?"

"No need for the for formalities, just Wriothesley will do. And just something in regards to what the other inmates have been saying recently,"

He looked you directly in your e/c eyes and he said: "I know you are not okay y/n. I've done some reading on you and from what I can see, you've had a rough go."

Tears started to well up in your eyes, "Sir im fine-"

"I can see you are not, and you know if you do need to talk I am here."

"Thank you kindly."

"Now how would you like to stay for some tea."

This was the closest Wriothesley was going to get to a date with you. Or was it.

"That would be lovely thank you."
