Joseph x Reader (fluff)

Not creative at all but I kind of liked it.
Hope you enjoy it! 💕
It's been some days since I posted this and just now realized that I didn't say that (Y/F/F) stands for "your favorite food".

"Hey, professor." You slowly approached Joseph Desaulnier, your blood already rushing to your cheeks only with the thought of being close to him.

"You know you can call me Joseph." He smiled at you. Did he have any idea of the effect his smile had on his students? It should be illegal having such a beautiful smile.

"Alright, Joseph." You were having a hard time trying not to sound desperate or too nervous. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." He finally moved his gaze from the papers to look at you, making it harder for you to speak.

"… Oh God, that's embarrassing." You whispered. "Do you… have a… girlfriend or boyfriend?" You asked, focusing on not stuttering or making a fool of yourself. "It's for a bet, actually."

"Are you going to win something?" He questioned, curious. Desaulnier was very friendly with his students, so you knew he wouldn't be mad for being part of a silly bet.

"If you say you are single, dinner is on me." You explained.

"So… you think I am taken?"

"Yeah, I mean, what are the chances of a handsome man like you be single?" You said without even realizing it. "Did I say it out loud?" You looked up at him, feeling ashamed. How could you let it slip like that? He was your professor!

"You did." He giggled and for a moment, you wanted to shut him up… with your lips. "I am really flattered."

"I'm sorry about that. Maybe I should go." You turned around to get out of the room as soon as possible, but something held you back, his soft touch in your hand.

"… I am single." You could swear he squeezed your hand when he said that. You felt like you had lost the ability to talk and only nodded, instantly heading out of the class.

You didn't know how to feel about that new information. He being single was great news for you and all the other girls who obviously had a crush on him, but the bad part was that you were going to pay dinner for your friends. Besides that, you didn't know how to deal with the fact that he touched and squeezed your hand, you felt like a teenage girl again.
The following days were awkward for you. During his classes, you tried not to make eye contact, but you couldn't keep your eyes away from him and his beauty. How could he dare to be so breathtaking?

"Is there something bothering you?" He approached you at the end of the class while you were packing up your things. You looked around and realized you were alone again.

"Not really. Why?"

"You have been acting… different in my classes. Was that something I said or did?" He was going to act like he wasn't aware of your crush on him, which was pretty obvious.

"Of course not, I just have… a lot of things to do." You lied.

"I was thinking that… maybe I could buy you lunch." His words made your eyes widen.

"W-What?" You had to hear it again to make sure you were not getting crazy.

"Sorry, is that inappropriate?" He scratched the back of his neck.

"I don't think so." You tried to calm him down. It was not like you didn't want to spend some more time with him.

"It's just that you lost that bet because of me, so I thought it would be fair to make it up for you."
