Nothing to blame ~ Wriothesley x Reader

Closer than ever

"I really appreciate you helping me with my dressings." Wriothesley had a bright smile on his face. After you talking about his scars, his face brightened.

"It's no problem really." You said while waving your hands, symbolizing he really shouldn't worry about it. "Well it's getting quite late now." You noticed because of the clock hanging on the wall. He nodded as he looked at the same clock on the wall. "Should we slowly get to bed or should we continue our conversations?" He asked, making you blink at him in confusion.

You never considered about staying awake long, but if it's with Wriothesley.. why not? "Well only if you want to.. I'm just afraid that I'll fall asleep mid sentence." You answered honestly.

"I don't mind when you'll fall asleep on my shoulder or anything. I did that to you as well." Wriothesley shrugged his shoulders. "Okay then." You smiled at him.

"This might seem quite unexpected from me, but did you ever considered to get married?" You asked him out of nowhere. He was quite stunned by your question. He was already imagining you in a beautiful wedding dress walking down the aisle towards him.

"If I have to be honest, I never thought of it since I live somewhere deep under the sea, but who knows maybe I'll find someone I love one day." Actually he did. His mind was only clouded with you lately. "what about you?" He asked as he glanced over to you.

"I'm quite unsure. I wanted to marry someone once but.. at the end he only used me for his own pleasure. Since then I never really felt comfortable marrying someone. All these thoughts I have in my head kept me from loving someone. I'm afraid I'll get used as a toy again." You had a sad expression on your face as you gave him a whole explanation.

As you looked over to Wriothesley you could sense that he felt sorry for you. "Oh.. I didn't mean to sadden the mood.. let's talk about something else." You tried to change topics, which succeeded.

"Do you think Monsieur Neuvillette would have any other hobbies than water tasting?" You asked, which was also a topic which made you curious. "Ah monsieur Neuvillette made some ceramics once during the last lantern rite." Wriothesley remembered how the Traveler showed off the ceramic piece made by Neuvillette to him. "Neuvillette is into ceramics? I've never thought of that." You laughed at the thought of Neuvillette getting his hands dirty.

"Well Neuvillette can be quite the interesting guy." Wriothesley commented about him. "Did you know he-" right where Wriothesley was about to say something, he felt slight pressure on his shoulder. As he looked to the side, he was met by a peaceful expression on your face. You were sound asleep on his shoulder.

Wriothesley smiled as he got a closer look at your soft features. Your lips looked so soft to the touch, your hair felt like silk. You looked perfect in his eyes.

"Well.. you did warn me that you'd fall asleep mid sentence." He whispered to himself. As a few minutes passed by Wriothesley held you bridal style, only to lay you nicely down on your bed. A moment later, he himself also lied down.

Once both of you were facing each other, Wriothesley continued to admire your features. You looked like a sleeping beauty. After a while, you moved closer to his body, practically snuggling into him.

Wriothesley accepted his fate and wrapped his arms around your waist. A few moments later  Wriothesley eventually also got sleepy. Without hesitation he closed his eyes. He mumbled a soft good night, before he as well drifted off to sleep.
