Joseph x Reader Part.2 (fluff?)

"We are friends..."

"The same old story." She sighed. "You know well where this is going."

"But... That's just it?" You didn't mean to say that his love wasn't enough, but you thought about something more serious.

"Kind of. The fear is not the only reason why he doesn't want to confess. He told me that he... he speculated to Miss Nightingale about the relationships between the hunters and the survivors. He was really disappointed after that."

"What did she say?"

"That romantic relationships between the two factions are prohibited." She concluded. "We can be friends, but not romantically involved. Doesn't make sense, but okay."

"Yeah, it doesn't."

"Even if he said that he is not confessing any time soon, I think he will. He can't take the feelings inside any longer." Mary knew everything about Joseph and it amused you. At first, you thought they were brother and sister. They looked alike, they were really close to each other, it seemed obvious to you. And if they weren't siblings, they could be a couple, you used to think.

"And what should I do if he confesses?"

"Do you love him?" It was a hard question.

"Maybe... I don't know. I'm afraid that I actually don't."

"Would you like to explain?" She was confused.

"You know that I have always been lonely, and I don't want to think that I'm in love with Joseph to live the fairy tale that I always wanted. I'm afraid that I like more the feeling of being loved by him than loving him."

"You will have to figure it out." She answered, finishing the braid.

"Thank you, Mary." You looked to her and hugged the queen. "Can you say to Joseph that I had a problem and had to go back sooner?"

"Of course." She smiled, kissing your forehead. "Good luck."

The solution you came up with was to ignore Joseph. You ignored him for at least two weeks. You needed time to think, and as you were a really indecisive person you should take a really long time thinking.

"You need to talk to him." You heard Fan behind you while you were in the garden with Emma. You got scared and jumped out of the wood bench.

"What are you doing here?" You panted, still recovering from the scare.

"I will take you to the hunter's side and you will talk to Joseph." He stated.

"Why?" He turned his back to you and started walking. You followed him.

"He's stranger now. He's almost as moody as me." You were shocked by the sentence. What did you do? "He fought with me, Xie, Mary, Jack, even Robbie. For nothing."

When you got to their side of the manor, you saw Joseph eating at the dining table, all alone.

"Joseph...?" You touched his shoulder but he got your hands out of him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, definitely."

"Wujiu said that you are acting... differently." You tried to not piss him off as he already looked mad.

"I don't think so." He didn't even look at you.

"What is happening? You are not like that."

"And that's none of your business. I don't have to tell you what is going on since you started ignoring me for no reason. You are not like that." He shot.

"I'm sorry about that, but I have my reasons." You started, even though you deep down felt guilty.

"And can I at least know what are your reasons?"

"The last time I came here..."

"When you stood me up, I remember."

"Xie said things about you and I went to Mary, to see if it was true and understand what was happening."

"Things about me?" He softened a bit.

"He... he said that you were acting weird since... you know... the kiss." He took a long deep breath when you mentioned it. "I went to Mary and she said that she thought you liked me."

"Mary really doesn't know how to keep secrets."

"And then she asked me what I felt for you. I didn't know. I thought it would be better if I stayed away from you because I was confused about my feelings and I didn't want you creating false hope."

"You should have just talked to me. Do you imagine how much I worried about you?"

"I'm so, so sorry. I promise I will never do it again if you bring the old Joseph back."

"Are you telling me that I'm old?" He joked.

"Actually, you are, right?" Even though he had a young appearance, you knew that he could be at least sixty. It sounded strange.

"I could be your sugar daddy, you know?"

"Oh, no. Don't say that!" You were blushing.

"Okay." He put his hands on yours. "Should we go to a more private place? I know that the are all looking at us right now." You looked at the window, where you could see BonBon.

"Yeah, they are." You two got up and went to his bedroom. "What should we do?" You asked, seating on his bed.

"Whatever you want." He looks at your eyes like he was expecting something. You knew exactly what it was, so you cupped his face and kissed him.

Eventually, the kiss became more intense, when you realized what was going to happen, you already were on his lap.

"What just happened?" You asked rhetorically after you should call the best night of your life.

"D-Did you like it?" He sounded nervous. After all, Joseph hadn't done that in a long time and was trying really hard to make it good for you, since he was your first.

"I did." You hugged him.

"Can I tell you something?"

"Of course."

"I love you." He kissed your entire face.

"I love you too, Desaulnier."

"So... are we... dating now or something?"

"If you want to be my boyfriend, then I will be your girlfriend."

"That's it." He kissed your lips.
