A/N: Joseph x reader

(to make the story more clear, you have been the new survivor for atleast 2 weeks and the manor is having a celebration for their anniversary)

▪️▪️▪️

Today's gonna be one chaotic night.

Y/N gulped at the thought of wearing dress.

"C'mon Y/N! We're gonna be late!" Vera complained.

"No!" "I'm not going out wearing, that.." Y/N argued back. "It isn't that bad," Vera said while pushing the black dress infront of their face. "No means no!" Y/N huffed, they crossed their arms and looked away.

"If lucky can wear a maid dress, then you can wear a dress too!" Vera exclaimed. "Why this dress," Y/N murmured. Snatching the dress from Vera's hands rather quickly.

"It's the one Miss Nightingale got you." Vera explained "Now go put it on."

"Fine." Y/N whined, then went to go change out of their comfy clothes. "Finally!" Vera sighed dramatically as she let her back fall on the mattress of bed.

▪️ ▪️ ▪️

"Well?" Vera asked as she turned her head to the bathroom door.

"Umm," Y/N popped their head out of the door. They then proceeded to walk out of the bathroom door slowly.

"You look gorgeous!" Vera said as she made her way to Y/N. "You think?" Y/N blushed slightly.

"Of course!" Vera said "Hmm."

"What?" Y/N asked, was it their hair? Did they have something on their face?

Vera then went behind Y/N to tighten their dress. "Hey! What ar- agh!" Y/N yelped as they felt the dress tighten around their waist. "There, much better." Vera whispered.

"I can't breathe," Y/N said, pulling the hem of their dress down to get more air.

"That's the point." Vera said. "Oh o- WAIT WHAT!" Y/N shouted.

Vera just rolled her eyes as she patted the remaining dust away from their dress.

"Let's go, we're already late because of you."

"Yes ma'am." Y/N rolled their eyes and left the room with Vera.

▪️ ▪️ ▪️

As soon as the two entered the ballroom, they were met with such an intimidating yet relaxing aura.

The classical music playing, the fancy food being served to the guest, the list goes on.

"I'm gonna get some drinks, wait for me?" Y/N asked as they pointed out to the refreshments table.

"Sure," Vera answered.

Y/N nodded at Vera's answer before they left.

"Hey Martha!" Vera waved excitedly when she saw Martha at the buffet table. She didn't hesitate going over to her, completely forgetting the promise she made to her friend.

"So I'm- Oh." Y/N cutted herself off when she saw that Vera had already  left.

"Sure I'll stay," Y/N mocked her friend as she took a sip of her drink.

"May I ask, what is a person like you  all alone?"

Y/N jumped slightly in superise. They quickly turned their head to see a tall man with long white hair that has been tied back, and may I add wearing a tuxedo that suited him very well.

"I-Uh well you see," They stuttered out.

"Oh how selfish of me, you must be the new survivor?" He questioned.

"Ah well yes." Y/N said, placing their drink on the table beside them.

"I see, the name is Joseph." Joseph said as he held out his hand. "Y/N," They said as they shook Joseph's hand.

"So um," Y/N said awkwardly while they retracted their hand back.

The silence stayed for awhile until someone on stage broke it.

"Hello people, Let's start slow dancin~" Kreacher said drunkly. "Kreacher! Sorry everyone, but please do start slow dancing!" Servias said as he pulled Kreacher away from the stage.

After that incident, the music instantly change from classical music to music fit for slow dancing.

Y/N saw everyone getting paired one by one with each beat the music played.

"May we?" Joseph asked shly, placing his hand on theirs.

Y/N blushed but smiled in an instant "Why not."

Joseph then took their hand and pulled them to the middle of the dance floor.

Joseph placed his hand on Y/N's waist. He then took his other hand and grabbed Y/N's free hand and intertwined them together.

"Not bad for a first timer." Joseph said as the 'couple' danced around the dance floor. "I'm surprised too." Y/N giggled as they continued to dance to the music.

They both knew this was a night they'll never forget.

Eventually it was time to go. The music stopped and everyone began to bid their goodbyes before the game continues once again.

"Will I see you again?" Y/N asked quietly.

"Hm, maybe yes or maybe not." Joseph answered.

Y/N could feel a frown forming on their face as they looked down.

"Oh, I see." Y/N sighed knowing they can't spent as much more time together now than when the game starts once more.

"But," Joseph removed a red flower from the pocket on his vest and placed it in between Y/N's ear.

"Till our next dance Y/N."
