thinking about spending time together for wriothesley's birthday…
˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡ warnings: a lil bit of angst abt wrio's past as a prisoner, slight wriothesley's story spoilers
˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡ tags: fluff, wriothesley x gn!reader, i referenced his birthday letter on this one
it's hard to keep track of time when you're underwater. even more so when you're the duke of an underwater fortress handling prisoners and case files on a day-to-day basis. so here you are, bringing a freshly brewed cup of black tea to his office, in an attempt to make wriothesley's day a little better and gauge him to come out of his lair so you can spend time together to stroll the streets of the city of fontaine.
when you opened the door to greet him you were met with his puzzled expression. he was admiring investigating the numerous stickers that found their way on his mechanical gauntlet. smiling to yourself, you figured it was the melusines' work again. not that he already knew.
but still, you figured there was something endearing about it. is it the pastel colors? is it the cute wolf shaped stickers or the heart ones? nevertheless, you thought it would always be a cute occurrence ー how your boyfriend would sigh in exasperation every time he gets pranked by such sweet creatures.
"you think it's sigewinne's doing again?" you laughed, placing the cup of tea on his desk.
"hmph. you bet." he sighed, laughing with you as well.
you made your way towards the back of his chair. leaning down, you pressed a sweet kiss on his cheek, stealing one of his stickers to place on him after.
"you…" he sighed again, melting into your touch in defeat.
"enjoy your tea. i brewed it just the way you like." you kissed him on the lips, your faces flush with the warmth of your shared love.
"let's go out." you suggested, seating yourself on his lap.
"where to, sweetheart?" he replied slyly, taking a sip from his teacup.
"you're the birthday boy, so you decide." you hummed.
you snuggled on the crook of his neck, breathing his scent ー that of mint and musk. he caresses the small of your back. you stayed like that for a while. he enjoyed the tea you made for him. and you enjoyed his gentle, loving touch.
he suggested that you both go to the coupon cafeteria after finishing his tea, maybe you'd find a surprise waiting for you there. as you exchanged idle chatter on the way, you didn't realize that you've arrived when sigewinne popped a confetti canon and the other melusines presented him a buttercream decorated cake with a grey emblem of his wolf sigil.
they happily sang him a birthday song. you watched his expression soften at the sight, which made you happy too.
"ah, i wonder if your siblings remember. i wonder what they-"
"let's not think of the past right now." he smiled at you. for a moment, you swore you caught a tinge of sadness in his gaze. so you didn't speak about it any further.
after the birthday celebration, the two of you went for a group hug with the melusines, and that's the moment you asked him about going to the city of fontaine.
"well, aren't you giddy?" he laughed.
"come on! you haven't been outside of this place for a while."
"are you saying that i'm a recluse?"
"what? no. i know that you're busy. it's just that ー don't you want a change of scenery on your special day?"
wriothesley gave in to your pleas. not that he didn't enjoy being outside. it's more of the fact that he knows it's a time well spent when it's with you.
after all, you're his roman holiday. his sweetheart. his beloved.
the greatest birthday gift he ever received.
