Nothing to blame ~ Wriothesley x Reader

Scars contain beauty

"What are you planning after you find your daughter?" Wriothesley was now quite curious after hearing about your whole journey to Fontaine. "If I have to be honest.. I'm quite unsure." Your mind was blank. You had no idea where you should go. At first you wanted to visit Chiori but now hearing that her business was booming, it was better if you'd leave her be.

You do miss her quite a lot but you knew you'd be a burden to her by just saying hi. She had work to do after all. "You don't want to see the other nations? Like Natlan or Snezhnaya?" He asked. You shook your head "I've been through a lot.. I think I'll stay in Fontaine a little longer." You've decided. He felt glad that you decided to stay. He still needed time to plan, how to confess.

"Oh look at the time.." you looked at the nearby clock on the wall. It was about 7pm. After talking for so long, you haven't realized how fast the time went by. Wriothesley wanted the time to stop. He would've liked to stay longer but if he stayed longer he would probably be at the fortress at midnight.

"It was nice having you here Wriothesley." You smiled at him. As you were about to open the door, Lucas opened it, making you jump "Ah!" You were now back to chest with Wriothesley. "I'm so sorry my lady, I didn't know you were standing in front of the door." Lucas apologized straight away after closing the door behind him. After Lucas apologized he looked straight into Wriothesley's face, he was red like a tomato. You probably haven't noticed but your behind bumped right into his...

Wriothesley quickly moved to the side before anything worse happened. Lucas ignored his red face and continued apologizing to you. "Lucas.. it's okay, I was at fault, I was standing in front of the door." You waved it off. As Lucas went to his room you quickly turned back to Wriothesley "I hope I didn't bump into your wrists or something" you were now slightly concerned for his wrists. "No.. nothing happened, it's okay." Wriothesley said with a slight smile on his face. It looked slightly off, but you payed no mind to it.

"Well then.. where were we.. oh yes.. you were about to leave." You went to go open the door. Before you could open the door, some of those man's words came to Wriothesley's mind.

„So go enjoy playing sippy cup with her while you still can."

Those last 4 words haunted Wriothesley. What did he mean by that, does he want to kill you? Right as you were about to open the door, Wriothesley grabbed your wrist. "Wriothesley is there something wrong." You turned your head to look at him.

"Would you mind if I stay for the night?" He asked with a tint of worry in his eyes. You raised an eyebrow at him. He was just about to go and then he suddenly asks if he could stay for the night. He is a confusing man. "Well if it's okay for Lucas, I suppose it's fine." You said as you had a quick thought about it.

You quickly ran to Lucas room and knocked on the door. As you heard a response from the other side, you slowly opened the door. It looked like he was writing in his journal again. "Hey.. do you mind if Wriothesley is staying over?" You asked with the biggest puppy eyes you could give. Lucas was already sick seeing that man, but if he made you happy.. he didn't mind. "First name basis.. I see.." Lucas gave you an annoyed side eye. He didn't like the fact that the duke himself dropped formalities for you.

"I bet he has to borrow some clothes from me again?" Lucas said with an unmotivated tone. You nodded at him, which made him sigh. "If you want him to stay, it's completely up to you." Lucas said as he continued to write in his journal. "Thank you Lucas!" You gave him a smile and grabbed some fresh pajamas from his closet, to give to Wriothesley.

"You're lucky I just changed the bed sheets. You had no idea how much my pillowcase smelled like seaweed." You spoke as you gave the fresh clothes to Wriothesley. "Y/N.. I live under the sea.. trust me I know that smell." He replied as he followed you up to your room. You laughed at his words, while walking up the stairs.
