summary: joe takes care of you during a night out

all i want is to be babied like this oh. my. god. enjoy my loves!!

“I’m just going to run to the washroom, okay sweets?” Joe said to you quietly, beginning to remove his arm from your waist, shifting you from his thighs. 

“I’ll come,” you mumbled, standing up with him and reaching for his hand.

Taking your face in his hands, prepared for your incoherent disappointment, he replied, “Sweetheart, we can’t go to the same bathroom. I promise I’ll be back before you know it, ok?”

Realization dawned on your face as you murmured, “Oh, yeah.” Despite this, the grip of your hands on his forearms hadn’t loosened.

“Hey, Ja’Marr,” Joe called out. “Keep an eye on her while I run to the washroom, will you?” He smiled, gently taking your hands from his arms and pressing a kiss to your forehead. “Be right back, pretty baby.”

“Bye, Joe.”

Ja’Marr pulled you back into the booth where the rest of your friends were gathered, nursing drinks and recovering from dancing. Several pairs of heels were loose under the table, having been discarded by their fed-up owners. Your eyes followed Joe as he moved across the room, weaving between people in varying states of stability,  until he was out of your sight. Your gaze blurred as you rested your head on your fist, elbow on the table. You were colder without him. Your crop top and mini skirt were far from warm enough if you weren’t either dancing in a crowd or tucked against Joe’s side. You shivered involuntarily. 

“You good, (y/n)?” Ja’Marr asked.

Turning your head to face him, you smiled softly, mumbling, “Just a little chilly.”

“Here he comes,” he said, gesturing towards Joe, who was already striding back towards your booth.

Slipping in beside you, he said, “Told you I’d be quick, didn’t I?”

“Yeah,” you mumbled, leaning your head against his upper arm. The drunken fatigue, amplified by how energetically you’d danced throughout the evening, was starting to properly hit you. 

In the dim light, Joe saw the outline of goosebumps on your bare arms. “You cold, honey?”

“A little,” you replied. “Better now you’re here, though.”

He reached to pull his jacket off of the hook at the end of the booth. “Sit forward a bit, baby,” he said, settling the jacket around your shoulders. “Arms through now, there you go. Better?”

“Mhm,” you hummed in sleepy satisfaction, snuggling back underneath his arm, your eyes drifting shut. 

He finished the last sip of his drink as he let you slump against him. He had only had one this evening, wanting to be in the right shape to get you home and into bed in one piece. You, needless to say, had indulged in more than one drink. 

The conversation between Joe and your friends began to fade into the back of your consciousness, the sounds in the bar lulling you into a state of relaxation. Joe’s arm securely wrapped around your waist, his steady heartbeat in your ear, and his oversized jacket wrapped around you like a blanket didn’t help. You began to drift off, your head drooping against his chest. 

“Hey, baby - is she asleep?” Joe asked incredulously. 

Sam nodded in the affirmative. “Sure looks like it, man. She’s the only person I’ve ever met who can be hollering on the dance floor one hour and asleep on the edge of it the next.”

“Yeah, she’s a special one,” Joe chuckled fondly. Gently rubbing your back to try and raise you from your slumber, Joe said quietly, “Babygirl. Hey, baby, wake up. You fell asleep.”

You blinked awake, dazed, trying to regain your bearings. “No I didn’t,” you insisted. “Just closed my eyes for a second.”  

“Sure, honey. D’you want to head home? It’s getting late.”

“I don’t mind Joe, whatever you want.”

He shared a look with the rest of your friend group gathered around the table, none of whom envied him the task of getting you up and out of the booth. He didn’t mind though - you were especially cuddly and affectionate when inebriated and he would always do anything to take good care of you. “I think it’s time to go, baby. Do you need anything before we head off?” 

“Have to say goodbye,” you mumbled, vaguely gesturing around the booth as your eyes threatened to close once again. 

“Yes, sweetheart, say goodbye.”

“Bye guys, don’t have too much fun without me!” you said, the effects of the many cocktails you’d downed that evening heavy in your tone. 

A chorus of “Bye, (y/n)!” rose from the group, along with one, “Good luck with her, bro.”

Joe laughed. “This isn’t my first rodeo. She just needs to get to bed.”

“Bed sounds nice, Joey. Will you come with me?”

“Of course, sweetheart. We’re gonna stand up now, ok?” Joe helped you out of the booth and onto your feet, one arm around your waist to keep you upright against him, the other holding your small purse and his car keys. He wished everyone a good night and safe trips home, thanking them for the evening. 

Walking out of the bar, you yawned. “I’m sleepy,” you said, as if only realizing for the first time.

“That you are, pretty girl,” he chuckled. “I’ll have you home as soon as I can, okay?” Clicking the car unlocked, he helped you into the passenger seat, buckling your belt for you before getting into the driver’s side and starting the engine. 

He reversed out of the parking space, hand on the back of your headrest as he looked out the rear window. You couldn’t help but admire the view. “You’re so pretty when you’re driving,” you mused.

“Yeah? Thanks, sweetheart. You’re pretty cute in my passenger seat.” You blushed, looking out the window, suddenly bashful. “You blushing over there, sweet girl? It’s true, y’know.” His hand reached over the gearshift to rest on your bare thigh, stroking your skin with his thumb. You clasped his hand with both of yours, bringing it to your lips to press a kiss to his knuckles before holding your interlocked fingers against your cheek. You held his hand for the rest of the drive home, him giving you a gentle squeeze whenever you started to doze off.

“Stay awake for me just a little longer, honey.”

Finally, you were through the gate and down the winding driveway of your home. Joe switched off the ignition, hopping out of the car and coming around to your side to help you out. “Welcome home, sleepyhead.” Guiding you up the steps of the porch, at least one arm always around you, he fiddled with the lock, getting you both inside before bolting it again. “Hang on there, sweets, hold onto my shoulders,” he said, bending down to undo the little straps of your sandals before kicking off his own shoes. 

When he stood back up to his full height, he was met with your adoring and almost sad gaze looking up at him. “What is it, babygirl?” he asked softly.

“You just take such good care of me. I didn’t know people like you existed, much less what I did to deserve one,” you said quietly, sobering for an instant. 

He pulled you into his chest in a warm embrace. “You deserve the world, sweet girl. I promise you, I’m the lucky one here. I love looking after you. I love you.”

“I love you too, so much. Thank you.” 

He held you for a moment longer, gently swaying you side to side, before pulling back, all business. “Okay, mission get (y/n) to bed, commencing now. Let’s get you some water.” 

Having filled up your water bottle and gotten you to take two Advil, Joe led you upstairs to your bedroom. While you stripped out of your going out clothes, Joe tossed a pair of boyshorts and one of his long sleeve tees onto the bed for you to change into. You gratefully got into the comfy clothes, happy to discard your mini skirt. Joe, in a fresh pair of boxers, deposited your clothes into the laundry hamper before guiding you into the bathroom, hands on your waist. 

“Skincare time, baby.” You started to groan, just wanting to crawl into bed, but he cut you off. “Ah ah ah, last time I put you to bed without getting your makeup off you were so mad at me in the morning. Never again, sweet pea. Just a little makeup remover and moisturizer, alright?” 

He kissed your cheek before you started swiping a cotton pad across your face, discarding it once it was thoroughly streaked with black. He squeezed some moisturizer onto his fingertips, rubbing his hands together for a moment before gently applying it to your face. Another kiss, this one deposited on your nose, before he handed you your toothbrush, toothpaste already applied. While you brushed, trying to contain the foam with moderate success, he did his own face washing and teeth brushing.

After you’d gargled your mouthwash, Joe guided you to bed, hands on your hips, walking behind you. He pulled the covers back and you crawled in, curling up happily on the soft mattress and letting out an involuntary sigh of satisfaction. Joe climbed in on his side, switching off the lamp and gathering you into his arms. 

“C’mere, baby, I’ve got you. You rest that pretty head and we’ll hope you’re in decent shape in the morning.”

“Mhm, I love you, Joey,” you mumbled into his chest, nuzzling against his skin, craving every ounce of his warmth and touch.

“I love you too, sweetheart. Sleep well.” 

By the time he pressed a goodnight kiss to the crown of your head, your mind was already fading into a deep, dreamless sleep.

The start of the season in London brings much excitement with it, as always. A close acquaintance of the much sought after Lord Bridgerton, Mr. Joseph Burreaux, has made a return from his travels on the Continent and is expected to appear at the Bridgerton ball later this week. The prospective diamond of the season, Charlotte Beaumont, is also expected to be in attendance. Gossips are already pinning these two as a promising, and very attractive, match, but whether or not Burreaux intends to marry this season is unconfirmed at present. Even if he has no intentions of marriage this year, if the diamond sets her sights on him, he will surely find himself locked down by the close of the season!

Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers,

27 April 1812

The largest ball of the season in London thus far was to be held tonight, hosted by the well known Bridgerton family at their residence in town. Presumably, many eligible young women across London were feeling particularly stressed as they prepared for the occasion, all hoping to catch the eye of one of the charming Bridgerton men. You, however, were as comfortable around the Bridgertons as around your own family, sometimes even more so. 

The Sedgewicks were a well respected, affluent family in London high society, and thanks to the time your father had shared with the former and deceased Lord Bridgerton at Oxford, a close bond existed between the clans. Even after the passing of Lord Bridgerton, the bond remained strong. Lord and Lady Sedgewick, your parents, supported the Bridgertons while they grieved.

You had known the family since you were born, but were especially close with Daphne. Being the same age, you two had entered London society in the same season. 

You had known the family since you were born, but were especially close with Daphne. Being the same age, you two had entered London society in the same season. 

This year marked your second season. Reflecting on the young woman you had been a year ago, you felt slightly grieved. The girl of last season had been so hopeful and had had such faith in finding a true love match. However, only one month into the season, most girls’ hopes of finding such love had been crushed. The men, although often dashing and outwardly respectable, often had questionable reputations or impure intentions, or were just plain old blithering idiots whose company could not possibly be tolerated for longer than a single waltz. That wasn’t to say you hadn’t had any suitors last year; as the only Sedgewick daughter, you were highly sought after. The trouble was that you, even after having given up on the idea of finding a true love match, couldn’t even find a suitor agreeable enough that you felt you could spend a lifetime with them without compromising your own sanity. 

Entering this season, you were trying to lower your expectations. Another season without a match would not look good, and you had no desire to be labelled a spinster or to be spurned by men in favour of younger, more naive brides. You had to take advantage of what youthful charms you still possessed. 

You secured the low bun in your hair with one final pin, craning your neck to examine your handiwork. You had often mourned not having sisters to help you do your hair, although your mother had taught you how to manage it yourself well. You blended some rouge across your cheeks to give yourself a subtle flush, using a light touch; you knew by the end of the night you would be thoroughly red faced from dancing and laughing. A touch of golden eyeshadow on your lids, and you stepped back from the mirror to examine your full form. 

Your dress was a soft shade of green, made of satin that draped beautifully down to the floor, giving you an elegant, feminine silhouette. The lacy sleeves ended just past your elbows, and your matching gloves left a few inches of forearm exposed. The rounded neckline was edged with lace, exposing your collarbones, giving you a certain allure while still maintaining a modest, ladylike appearance.

Your moment of self-appreciation was cut short by your mother knocking at the door. “Come in!” you called.

She entered. “Carriage leaves in five minutes, my darling. Oh! Look at you! Turn around for me! Oh, you look lovely,” your mother gushed. “That colour does wonders for your complexion.”

“Thank you, Mama,” you replied, smiling at the ground. 

“Come, let us head downstairs.” You took your mother’s arm, descending the grand staircase of your London home to the foyer, out the front door, to be helped up into the carriage by a footman. Once safely settled inside, your mother began speaking about the latest edition of Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers. 

“Have you read it yet, darling?”

“I have, Mother.”

“Well, it seems Mr. Burreaux has returned from his travels on the Continent! He is meant to be a perfect gentleman and he comes from a highly reputable family. You would do well to make his acquaintance this evening, which shouldn’t be hard as he is close with the elder Bridgerton boys. Oh, what am I still calling them boys for! They’re grown now!” she exclaimed. 

“Mother,” you sighed, “If he’s such good friends with Anthony, shouldn’t we be concerned that he is a rake? I know so many people say reformed rakes make the best husbands, but I shouldn’t ever be able to fully trust the fidelity of a man who at one time possessed such a roguish reputation.” Although you argued this point with your mother, you couldn’t pretend that you weren’t intrigued by him. He was meant to be incredibly handsome and he did come from a well respected family. Still, handsome men were more often than not in possession of numerous mistresses, indicating they most likely wouldn’t be seeking a true love match like you still secretly longed for. 

“My dear, I haven’t heard a word about him being a rake! Ever! Just because he is friends with a particularly notorious one,” she whispered in a rather conspiratorial tone,” doesn’t make him one himself! After all, your brothers are good friends with Anthony, and they were never rakes before they married!” (You had to stifle a laugh at that comment - your mother turned a willing blind eye to anything questionable her sons did.) “Anyways, if there is any suspicion that he is a rake, I’m sure Lady Whistledown will be writing about it right away, and then we shall know. Regardless of your concerns, do make sure you speak to him tonight.” With a rather unladylike and quite girlish giggle, she added in a whisper, “I hear he is quite dashing too!”

“Oh, Mother!” you said, trying to lace your tone with fabricated disinterest at the fact. She didn’t need to know that the prospect of making his acquaintance excited you so. Besides, you shouldn’t get your hopes up, only to be let down by yet another insufferable man. 

Carriages had begun arriving at Bridgerton House, gentlemen and young ladies filing in through the front door, all unknowingly overlooked by the two men in Lord Bridgerton’s study: the Lord himself and his close personal friend, Mr. Joseph Burreaux, Joe to those who knew him best. They were sharing a drink before descending into the fray of the party, Joe’s first proper social engagement since his return to London. 

“I must warn you,” Anthony began, “of the mamas and daughters you will face in the ballroom tonight. They will be throwing themselves at you trying to gain your favour. From what I’ve heard, half of the ladies out this season are already positively besotted with you.”

Joe sighed, clearly not anticipating the evening with much joy. 

“Oh, it’ll be fun tonight, though,” Anthony reassured him. “Even if you don’t find any suitable marriage prospects, you’ll find someone to have a little fun with. I know I will.”

Looking down into the brown liquor in his glass, Joe shook his head. “I don’t think I will. Find either, I mean. I’ve never had much interest in brief dalliances with ladies, unlike yourself, and I have little hope remaining of finding a wife I could truly love after so many years. Although, I do need to marry soon.” As the firstborn son of the Burreaux family, Joe took the responsibility of bearing a male heir to carry on the name very seriously. 

“Oh, you don’t want to find a wife you could love!” Anthony laughed. “Makes it all the more complicated.”

“No, I don’t think it does. I think it would make it all much easier and that I should be much happier with someone I truly loved, although my hopes of finding that in this lifetime are waning,” Joe mused, melancholy heavy in his tone. 

“You’ve always been a dreamer, Burreaux, a real romantic.”

“Is it such a crime for a man to wish for a wife he truly loves? Who loves him back?”

“No, I suppose not, but, if you ever change your mind, I can surely point you towards some women who could give you a little entertainment in the interim,” Anthony smirked.

“You are dreadful, Bridgerton, you know that?” Joe laughed. “You can keep those women for yourself. I’m sure they’re plenty satisfied with you.”

“Ahh, that they are,” Anthony replied, ever cocky. “Now, I presume we should be heading downstairs before my mother comes knocking down the door demanding our presence.” “I suppose so.”

Draining the last of their glasses and placing them on the windowsill, the two men exited the study and headed towards the grand hall. 

Upon your arrival at the Bridgerton residence, you received your dance card and were greeted by the viscountess, Violet Bridgerton. “Oh, Mrs. Sedgewick, Miss Sedgewick, what a delight it is to see you! I’m so pleased you could join us tonight!”

“Oh, Violet, you know we would never miss it!” 

“Never,” you murmured, repeating your mother’s words mindlessly, eyes roving the crowd, searching for Daphne. You needed to hear more about this Burreaux fellow. 

“Oh, my dear, don’t let us hold you up!” Violet joked fondly. “I’m sure Daphne anxiously awaits your presence.”

With a brief curtsey, you departed, weaving through the packed ballroom in search of Daphne, locating her by the lemonade table. “Daphne!” you called out as you approached.

“(y/n)!” she replied, her head and body immediately turning in the direction of your voice. She grasped your gloved hands in hers, her mind evidently in the same place as yours as she exclaimed in a hushed voice, “You absolutely must meet Mr. Burreaux tonight!”

“Did my mother somehow put you up to this?” you asked warily.

“Of course not! How could she have, I haven’t even seen her yet.”

You narrowed your eyes in suspicion. Your mother would find a way if she wanted to.

“Oh, I promise it’s not because of her! He is utterly dashing and a perfect gentleman! He is also meant to be quite well educated and cultured, especially after spending so many years on the Continent!” Daphne gushed. 

“If you find him such a suitable prospect,” you asked, “why haven’t you set your sights on him?”

“Oh, I could never marry him. I’ve known him for far too long, he’s like a brother. And I know he wouldn’t ever have such feelings for me. You, on the other hand, don’t have that inhibition, and any man who isn’t utterly taken with you is nothing but a fool,” she said. “I also think your personalities might be quite compatible.”

“Well, I wouldn’t mind meeting him,” you said, smiling back at Daphne, feeling a blush rise in your cheeks. 

“Oh, good! I don’t believe he and Anthony have come down yet, but when they do we shall go find them.”

“Are there any men you have your eye on?” you asked, linking your arm through Daphne’s. 

Her spirits seemed to sink slightly at the question. “No, although that Nigel Berbrooke is courting me as incessantly as ever. The poor man seems incapable of taking a hint. He is nice, but I just couldn’t marry him.”

“Nor could I,” you said, shuddering at the thought. He was a perfectly nice and respectful gentleman, but you were convinced he possessed not even half a brain. 

“It is of no matter, someone will catch my eye eventually!” Daphne said lightly.

“They absolutely will,” you reassured her with a gentle squeeze of your hand on her forearm.

While awaiting the arrival of Anthony and Mr. Burreaux, you were approached by another gentleman asking for a dance with you.  You wrote his name down in your dance card for a waltz slated to begin in approximately twenty minutes. He bid you a temporary farewell with a gentle brush of his lips on your gloved knuckles. 

Almost immediately after he had disappeared back into the crowd of bodies, Daphne exclaimed, “There they are!” pointing in a most unladylike fashion.

“Daphne!” you hissed, snatching her wrist to bring it back down to her side. 

Ignoring your admonishment, Daphne promptly led you to the two men. The first thing you noticed about Mr. Burreaux was his height. His sturdy frame towered even over Anthony, a well built man.

“You’ll be the first woman he meets tonight!” she whispered in your ear gleefully. You almost didn’t hear, caught up as you were taking in his blue eyes, his soft blonde hair. “Anthony!” Daphne called out once within a few feet of the two men. You snapped your gaze away from Mr. Burreaux. Now was certainly not the time to be caught staring.

“Ah, Daphne!” Anthony greeted his sister. Upon seeing you, he gave a brief bow. “Miss Sedgewick.”

You curtsied in return. “Your Grace.”

“Let me introduce you to my good friend, recently returned from travels on the Continent. This is Mr. Joseph Burreaux and this is a close family friend, Miss (y/n) Sedgewick.”

You dipped another elegant curtsey. “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Burreaux.”

“The pleasure is surely all mine,” he murmured back, taking your gloved hand to brush a kiss over your knuckles. His ocean blue eyes held yours the entire time, forcing you to break eye contact before your heart cracked one of your ribs with the force of its beats. His gentle kiss, although much the same as any other suitor would bestow on you, had an entirely different and much more potent effect on you.

“How have things been with you, (y/n)?” Anthony asked politely. 

“Oh, I’ve been very well, thank you. I must admit,” you said, laughing, “I’ve spent much of the past few days on the couch in the library reading that Jane Austen novel, Sense and Sensibility.”

“You like to read?” Mr. Burreaux interjected. 

“Oh, I love to read! I have a particular affinity for novels.” 

He dipped his head, his lips quirking in a smile that felt as if it was intended just for you, as if a secret something had just been shared between you. “A respectable pastime, and one you and I share.”

“Oh! Have you read the new Austen, then?” you asked, momentarily forgetting that you were supposed to be capturing this man's interest as a potential marriage prospect rather than chatting with him so casually. Most men didn’t care about how a woman spent her spare time, but something in his eyes, focused so intently on your face, gave you the sense that he was actually listening, actually interested.

“I started it just this afternoon, and I am finding it quite enjoyable thus far. Perhaps once I have finished it we could exchange our thoughts on the story and characters,” he suggested.

Trying your best to subdue the force of your smile at the prospect of spending more time in this man’s company, you replied demurely, “That would be lovely.”

“It is settled then. Might I impose myself on you and ask to share a dance this evening?” 

“Of course.” You pulled out your dance card, disappointed you had already found a partner for the upcoming waltz. You pencilled his name in for the following dance, curtseying as you departed to locate your other partner. 

When Joe had seen you approaching with Daphne, his breath had caught in his throat. You were a vision in sage green satin, falling perfectly from your waist down to the floor. The vibrant joy in your eyes and the sweet smile on your face when you had spoken of your love of reading had given him a warm feeling deep in his chest, and he found he didn’t want to rip his gaze from you. Your open demeanour was refreshing, a change from the women he had met who followed careful scripts in their interactions with him, trying to present themselves as perfect ladies who would make suitable wives for a man of his status. 

He had felt as if he could have listened to you talk until he died, which was why he had suggested a meeting to discuss the book. It was rather forward of him, but he couldn’t stop himself. 

He knew immediately he wanted to secure a dance with you. When he saw another name, that of some Jack Pembroke he had never heard of, pencilled in for the upcoming waltz, an unexpected bolt of jealousy shot through him. Why should he be jealous? You were one of a hundred eligible young women here, surrounded by just as many eligible gentlemen. Of course you would have numerous dance partners this evening, as would he. Despite his rationalization, he still wanted to scratch that name off of your list and pencil himself in for every single dance that evening. He resisted the urge, saying goodbye to you with a promise he would find you for your dance.

As the waltz music started up and the couples on the floor began to dance, he trailed Anthony through the crowds to meet up with his brothers, Colin and Benedict. Without meaning to, his eyes searched for you amongst the whirling couples in the centre of the room. He spotted you quickly, that radiant smile gracing your features as you talked with your dance partner, capturing his attention instantly. Unexpectedly, you looked up, your gaze catching his. He looked away, but he had held your eyes for a beat longer than was generally deemed appropriate. To tear his eyes from such warmth, such comfort, seemed, and felt, like an unnatural thing to do. 

Jack Pembroke was a perfectly adequate dance partner. He was respectful and actually quite entertaining to chat with. Nonetheless, your attention was divided, your eyes flicking around the room to try and catch another glimpse of Mr. Burreaux. Something about him had fascinated you and you wanted to be back in his somehow magnetic presence. To be observed by those sweet, attentive blue eyes. To be held by those strong arms. To be kissed - your rapidly wandering thoughts were interrupted when you realized you were staring directly into his eyes. 

You were frozen, immobile, for a moment, until he looked away and you did the same. A furious blush rose in your cheeks and fear flooded your body, as if he could have read what you were thinking through your eyes. Of course he couldn't have, but you still felt as if you had been caught in an indecent act. 

Jack, noticing the sudden change in your demeanour and the colouring of your face, looked at you with concern. “Are you alright? Do you need to sit down for a moment or have a drink?”

You brushed it off. “Oh, no, I’m quite alright! Dancing always tires me.” That wasn’t entirely true - you could dance for hours on end with the right partner, but poor Mr. Pembroke didn’t need to know that. 

Joe greeted Colin and Benedict amiably. He was good friends with them, too, and hadn’t had much time to catch up with them since his return from the Continent. Anthony, the devil, took the opportunity to poke fun at Joe now that he had his brothers for backup. 

With a smirk, he said, “Seems our Joe here has taken a liking to sweet Miss Sedgewick. You should’ve seen him with her! He’s already gone and set up another meeting to discuss the book they both happen to be reading.” 

Colin gave Joe a look of undisguised admiration. “Joe, you move fast, don’t ya? Nice work.” Joe tried to will away the red creeping up his neck. 

Benedict, less fond of engaging in the well-meaning bullying of his brothers, gave Joe a brotherly pat on the back. “She’s a great girl, Joe, but good luck trying to lock her down. It’s her second season and she had God knows how many men knocking at her door last year, but she didn’t take a single one.”

“I never said I had any plans to court her. It’s not as serious as Anthony makes it sound,” Joe insisted. “It’s important for me to become acquainted with the locals, that’s all. I’d treat anyone the same as her.” As he said it, he knew it was a blatant lie, as did Anthony by the mirthful look on his face. Unbeknownst to his friend, Anthony had observed the moment you two had locked eyes during your dance with Pembroke, had noticed the subtle flush of Joe’s cheeks. 

At that moment, another young lady and her mother approached to introduce themselves to Joe. The young lady was Charlotte Beaumont. He’d read of her in that bizarre Whistledown column - for some reason, people thought their marriage to each other was a distinct possibility. He hadn’t even met the woman until this very moment. She was pretty, that was undeniable, and spoke eloquently during their brief exchange, but he felt nothing in her presence. After spending mere minutes in yours, after feeling that profound pull towards another person, his heart could be inspired by nothing less. He sensed that the warmth in his chest he felt around you could quickly become addictive, rendering him utterly dependent on you. Would that be such a bad thing? The two Beaumont women took their leave after a few minutes of bland conversation - Joe wasn’t sorry to see them go. 

“Now, that,” Colin said, with a slight incline of his head towards the retreating back of Miss Beaumont, “would be a real catch, Joe.”

“She was certainly pleasant,” Joe conceded, but his mind was elsewhere as his gaze drifted back over the crowd, seeking you out. 

Anthony looked at his brothers pointedly, eyebrows raised, giving them a look that said See what I mean? They most definitely saw. He had to bite his tongue to stop himself from adding, “Didn’t see you asking Miss Beaumont about meeting again to discuss your literary pursuits.” Resting a hand on Joe’s shoulder.

Anthony settled for asking, “Still so convinced finding a wife in London will be such a chore? Ah, look at the time! The next dance is starting soon. Better go find your girl.”

He only smirked when Joe shot him a look over his shoulder as he began weaving through the crowd in search of you. He liked hearing Anthony say “your girl.” His girl. My girl.

Your dance with Mr. Pembroke had ended, and after giving him a farewell curtsey, you drifted through the crowd in search of Daphne. You had a couple of minutes to spare before your dance with Mr. Burreaux, and you needed her reassurance. “Daphne!” you exclaimed once you found her. 

“(y/n), hi!”

“My dance with Mr. Burreaux is next,” you said hurriedly. “Is my hair okay? My face?”

“Oh, you look absolutely lovely,” Daphne said, her tone just like your mother’s. “Falling for a man suits you beautifully, gives you a certain glow.”

“I am not falling for him. I barely know him, it’s far too early to make claims like that,” you insisted.

“Whatever you say,” Daphne replied in a singsong voice, indicating that she didn’t believe you in the slightest. “Speaking of said man,” she murmured, nodding at his approaching form before slipping back into the throng of people, wanting to leave you two as much privacy as could be afforded given the setting. 

You shot her a look that you hoped expressed your sense of betrayal, but she just winked before whirling back around, leaving you with a view of her bouncing red curls tumbling down her back.

“M’lady,” Mr. Burreaux greeted you, dipping a small bow.

With a reciprocal curtsey, you said, “Sir.”

“Please,” he began, “call me Joe.”

“Well then, Joe, you had best call me (y/n),” you replied. 

“As you wish, (y/n).” To hear your name roll off his tongue was oddly pleasing. 

You assumed the appropriate position for your dance alongside the other couples on the floor as the first notes of the music started up. His hand slid around your waist to rest on your lower back, as yours landed lightly on his shoulder. His free hand grasped yours, your gloved palms fitting together perfectly. His touch, albeit blocked by several layers of fine fabric, felt sweeter than any man’s ever had before. You had only just begun your dance, but you already knew you would sense the absence of his hands on you once it was over. 

You didn’t know where to look, your gaze flicking uncertainly between his soft blue eyes, his chest, the dancers beside you. You could feel the warmth radiating from his body, and you had to resist the urge to sink into it, to sink into him. To fall until his strong arms inevitably caught you. 

“So,” he began, as you drifted between the other couples on the dance floor. “I already know of your love of reading, but I must confess, I’m curious how else you enjoy spending your time.” 

His blue eyes were so intense you almost couldn’t voice your response, drowning in those endless oceans in front of you. Recovering yourself, you replied, “I love walking, rain or shine, especially out in the countryside. That’s my greatest qualm with the season in London - it keeps me in town and I go months without a walk in true solitude.” 

“I agree with you there. One is never truly alone in London, something that has been a bit of an adjustment for me. I have a lovely country estate that I plan on escaping to frequently.”

How you longed to join him on one of those frequent escapes to that countryside estate. You had just complained about the lack of solitude in London, but his presence didn’t feel like an encroachment on your existence. Many other London residents were insufferably overbearing, and their presence was something worth escaping from. However, you  suspected being alone with Joe would be much the same as being alone with yourself. 

“Oh! That sounds lovely,” you said wistfully. “I should do the same, except my mother wants me to remain in town, for all the balls and such things. She is set on me spending as much time in society as possible, with the intention of corralling a great mass of potential suitors,” you sighed, forgetting yourself once again as you spoke so casually of these somewhat delicate personal matters with a man you barely knew. None of your usual walls, so carefully guarded most of the time, seemed to be up when you were with him. These were generally conversations saved for your closest lady friends, as they weren’t issues a man could ever really empathize with. 

“I can only imagine how restrictive that must feel,” he murmured thoughtfully, before learning slightly closer to you and whispering conspiratorially, “I would stow you in my carriage and take you to my country estate, but I fear your mother would notice your absence and never permit me to be in your presence again, which I simply could not bear.”

You giggled at his comment. As he pulled away, a single lock of blonde hair fell across his forehead, amplifying his sweet, boyish charm. You were glad he couldn’t yet brush it back into place, occupied as his hands were. Occupied with holding you. 

“Yes, I suspect my mother would have your head if you pulled such a daring stunt, although,” you mused, “the intervening period before she discovered our plot would surely be most enjoyable.”

You had meant the comment innocently, your mind (mostly) taken up only by thoughts of forests and meadows, sunshine and long, quiet walks, but you saw in his momentarily darkened eyes that his thoughts had turned elsewhere. “I have no doubt of that,” he murmured.

You flushed, looking away, unable to hold his gaze in that moment, the heat of his body so close to yours suddenly magnified, his touch on your waist searing. No dance partner had ever had such an effect on you, and while part of you wanted to run from the inexplicable power this man exerted over you, the other part wanted to lean into the heat, start the fire, burn in bliss with him by your side.

His voice brought you back to the crowded ballroom, disrupting your fantasies. “You are a most elegant dancer,” he said.

“Thank you,” you replied demurely. “As are you.”

In response, he murmured quietly, almost inaudibly, “Nothing compared to you.”

You had to bite down on your lip to quell the overwhelming force of your smile. 

When you sank your teeth into your lower lip, it did indescribable things to his head and heart. The banter you had shared throughout the dance, which was regretfully drawing to a close, was oddly comfortable, despite the fact it was your first meeting, despite the satin and starched white shirts. Your presence felt almost akin to slipping into his bed after a hard day - comfortable, warm, safe. A reprieve from the world, presumably similar to what you had described feeling during your countryside strolls. Oh, how he wished to take you on one. 

When the music faded, he mourned the loss of contact as he was forced to wrench his hands from you. You dipped a perfect curtsey, smiling up at him. “Thank you for a lovely dance, Joe.”

“Thank you, (y/n).” To hear his name, shortened, the version generally reserved for his closest acquaintances, fall from your pretty lips warmed him. “Might I interest you in a lemonade?” he asked.

“You very well might,” you replied with the sweetest smile. 

He offered you his arm, so pleased when you took it, guiding you towards the lemonade table. To walk through the crowds with you attached to him, to move through the world as a pair, felt so damn right. He handed you a glass once you reached the table, moving to the side to avoid the crowd that always gathered there following a dance. Ladies reunited with their friends to recount tales of dreadful partners while men tried to secure a few extra minutes with a particularly lovely lady over a glass of the sugary drink. Joe was certainly in the latter category. 

The Bridgerton crew found the two of you, and Anthony eyed you standing so close to Joe’s side before sending him a brief wink. Joe only hoped you hadn’t seen. You immediately gravitated towards Daphne and away from the men, sharing hushed words and tittering about something or other. One thing in particular that Daphne whispered to you made you burst out laughing. When you laughed, the rest of his world turned to nothing of consequence, his whole being absorbing the sound as if it was the prettiest piece of music he had ever had the privilege of hearing. He wanted to hear that precious sound again, and God, he wanted so, so desperately to be the reason it had bubbled up from your throat. 

You drifted away with Daphne, enthralled by the hilarious story of her horrible dance with a partner, who, to preserve his dignity, shall not be named. Once you were confidently out of Joe and the Bridgertons’ earshot, she asked you about your own dance, demanding you divulge every single detail. You told her everything, her little gasps and excited grabs at your forearm spurring you on. 

“Oh, (y/n)! That is so sweet! No man has ever made me feel like that,” she gushed.

“He was perfect,” you replied. “No other partner this evening shall be able to compare to him.”

“I don’t know that any man will be able to compare to him, ever again!” 

You were forced to agree with her there. His wit, his charm, his soft smiles had captivated you so. You would have loved to share another dance that evening, but to do so would be seen as highly improper, so you settled for longing stares when he wasn’t looking. Half the time you sought him out he was already gazing in your direction, which sent your heart into overdrive and stirred up the swarm of butterflies that had taken up residence in your stomach when you had first laid eyes on him. Even as you were held in the arms of another man, while he held another girl in his, he shared with you those subtle smiles that you now knew were intended just for you, as you whirled past each other in your separate pairs. Your focus seemed to magnetize to each other, to Daphne’s sheer delight, as she often caught you in the act. 

Many hours into the evening, long after the sun had dipped below the horizon and darkened the towering windows, your mother sought you out to inform you it was time to return home. You hugged Daphne goodbye, promising you’d see her again soon. 

As you embraced, she whispered in your ear, “I bet Mr. Burreaux will be on your doorstep tomorrow with a massive bouquet of flowers.”

“That would be incredible, but don’t go getting my hopes up! I don’t want to have any expectations, or else I’ll surely be disappointed,” you replied. 

“Oh, I know most men will always disappoint, but I have a feeling we’re dealing with something special here,” she said with a wink before disappearing into the crowd. 

You took your mother’s arm, beginning to weave through the people, stopping every few feet to say farewell to an acquaintance, when you saw Joe headed towards you. He apologized to those people who didn’t part like water before him as he was forced to squeeze past them. 

“Oh!” your mother said breathlessly when she caught sight of him, the only exclamation she had time to make before he was in front of you. 

You both curtsied while he bowed. “Joe, this is my mother, Mrs. Sedgwick,” you said. “Mama, this is Mr. Joseph Burreaux.” 

“Mrs. Sedgewick, it is a pleasure to meet you,” he said. 

“Thank you, Mr. Burreaux. It is wonderful to make your acquaintance.”

“I just wished to catch your daughter before you left to wish her a good night and safe travels home,” he said, addressing your mother politely. 

Your mother, seeing an opportunity, quickly found a reason to excuse herself, something about one friend or another, leaving you in his presence. You could sense her hawkish eyes watching your entire exchange, trying to gauge whether or not you two were a potential match. 

“I hope you have a good night, (y/n), and are swiftly home safe. It was a pleasure to meet you this evening and to share a dance with such a naturally talented partner.”

“Thank you, Joe. I’m sure our ten minute carriage ride will pose us little to no mortal risk, though your concern on our behalf is very thoughtful,” you joked. 

“I’m sure that is the case, but nonetheless, I would hate for something to happen to you,” he said intently. 

“Likewise. I hope your trek upstairs tonight befalls you no harm.”

“I will be sure to hold onto the banister very carefully and to think of your cautions while I climb those stairs to ensure my safe passage.”

“I’m pleased to hear it. I hope you also think of me when you next open up Sense and Sensibility,” you added coyly.

“Oh, I assure you, I will,” he replied.

“It was most thoughtful of you to see me off, but I’m afraid I must be going,” you said regretfully, not wanting to leave him just yet, or ever. 

“Of course, I wouldn’t want to hold you up.” He took your gloved hand, pressing a kiss to your knuckles. Did his lips linger there, or was it just your tired and hopeful mind playing tricks on you?

After reuniting with your mother, you descended the steps of Bridgerton House and were helped into the carriage that had carried you here only hours earlier. It had brought you here with a curiosity about Mr. Burreaux, but also a firm belief that he would be a roguish man not suited for you. Now, it brought you home while you replayed every memory of him from that evening, images of his blue eyes and broad shoulders nurturing the sweet warmth in your stomach, the lightness in your heart. Contrary to your expectations, he had been the perfect gentleman to you, not making any moves or displaying any behaviour that suggested he had rakish motives. His advances would best be described as respectfully improper, perhaps violating the strictly formal rules of London high society but never coming close to crossing your personal boundaries.

Once home and stripped from your green satin, into your bedclothes and tucked underneath the covers, he still filled your thoughts. Just for tonight, you thought. Tonight, you would indulge in dreams of him - tomorrow, you could come to your senses, if you still possessed any.

a fox on the fairway

joe burrow x reader

i have no idea what this is, but i saw this play last night and thought of this while i was falling asleep. hope u enjoy!! (wc: 417, all fluff, zero plot, joe being an idiot but it’s cute)

<3

You and Joe had decided to spend date night seeing a play at a local theater. The venue was small and cozy, the shows put on by volunteers with a passion for the stage. The production you were seeing was a comedy called “A Fox on the Fairway.” You and Joe significantly brought down the average age of the audience members, most of whom could have been either of your grandparents.

You had overheard one woman whisper to her friend in the row behind yours, “Look at how sweet that young couple is.”

The other woman, clearly tending towards the more cynical side, grumbled, “The honeymoon phase will wear off soon.” You could picture the frown on her face and the furrow between her brows as she observed you leaning your head against Joe’s shoulders, fiddling with his hand on your thigh while you waited for the play to begin.

You quietly recounted their comments to Joe during intermission. Most of the crowd had filed out for a drink or just to stretch their legs.

“God, if only she knew how long we’ve been at this. It’s nothing new,” he said affectionately, throwing an arm around your shoulders and pressing a kiss to the crown of your head. You gladly rested your head against him, enjoying the sleepy warmth left behind by the glasses of wine you’d had with dinner. As you closed your eyes for a moment, he murmured, “Don’t fall asleep on me now, sweetheart. Show’s not over.”

“I know,” you mumbled, pulling your head back up as other audience members began returning to their seats for the commencement of act two.

Joe’s eyes drifted to the play program in his lap, the stylized writing spelling out the title “A Fox on the Fairway.” He squeezed your thigh, whispering in your ear, “You’re the only fox on my fairway.”

You let out an incredulous laugh, your head tipping back. “What the hell does that even mean, sweetheart?” you asked.

He shrugged, smiling. “It’s my newest pickup line.”

“I’m not sure it’s your best work, unfortunately.”

“So you won’t come home with me tonight?” he replied, frowning.

“I’ll always go home with you, even when your pickup lines are as awful as that one was.”

“C’mon, it wasn’t that bad. I deserve some credit for creativity and situational relevance,” he argued in hushed tones.

You giggled as the lights began to dim. “You’re lucky I love you, Joe.”

“I know, sweets. The luckiest.”

Hello, I love your blog!

I was wondering if you could write a fic or blurb (whatever you want) where the reader is a teacher.

That would be amazing. Thank you!

science fair

joe burrow x teacher!wife!reader

warnings: pure sweet fluff <3 one slightly suggestive comment towards the end

word count: 1.1k

summary: joe surprises you at your students’ science fair

note: thank you for this request!! hope you enjoy my love <33

Warm April sunlight split the grey clouds outside the windows, still covered in droplets of rain, sending soft light streaming into your classroom. School started in ten minutes, and you were enjoying the quiet and a warm cup of tea before the inevitable craziness of your day commenced.

It was a big day for the third graders that you taught. They had spent the past month working on projects for the school’s spring science fair, each having chosen a topic to research that they found particularly interesting. They had compiled information, carefully writing it on construction paper, arranging it neatly on poster boards alongside a handful of pictures. The posters had been taking up almost all of the free surfaces in your classroom for the past couple weeks, and seeing the back countertop and spare desks in the corner bare was oddly sad. Nonetheless, you knew in no time they would be strewn once again with paintings and spelling tests, spilled pencil shavings and uncapped markers.

Your kids would have a couple minutes after the bell rang to deposit their backpacks and coats in the classroom, before you herded them down to the gymnasium, where their posters were taped to the walls or set up on tables. Parents had been invited, giving them an opportunity to see what their kids had been working on, and allowing the kids to share their research.

The bell rang, and you stood from your desk to open the door, letting your students inside as fresh spring air flooded the room. A chorus of “Hi, Mrs. Burrow!” rang out as you greeted each student. While hats were taken off and ruddy cheeks warmed, boots swapped for clean inside shoes, you asked your class, “Are you guys excited for the science fair today?” The raucous noise that erupted from the pack of kids made anything they said unintelligible, but they were clearly looking forward to it.

Raising your voice above the noise, you said, “Okay, everyone, let’s line up. We’re going to walk quietly to the gym. Last person out please switch off the lights and close the door behind you!”

You led your students through the halls, filing into the gym and directing them to locate their projects and get ready for parents to start arriving. You walked between the tables, admiring their work, answering questions and assuring them they were all going to do amazingly - and you knew it was true. All of the kids you had taught in your career had made you infinitely proud.

Parents began trickling in, their necks craning as they searched for their sons and daughters, faces lighting up when they saw them. You continued to drift amongst your students as parents knelt to examine posters and ask questions, smiling as you watched your students’ animatedly share their work.

“Mrs. Burrow?” asked a soft male voice from behind you, the last voice you were expecting to hear at the science fair.

You turned around, surprised. “Joe!? What are you doing here?” He wore a visitor’s badge on a lanyard around his neck.

“Well,” he said, gesturing around the gymnasium, “I figured if the parents get to come and see their kids’ work today, I could surely join them to see my lovely wife’s work.”

Brushing a speck of lint from his shoulder, you asked with a smile, “And what is your expert evaluation?”

“Looking at how happy these kids are, I’d say you’re doing perfectly.” He slid an arm around your waist to pull you against his side, adding, “You’re going to make an incredible mom.”

You mirrored his gesture, resting a hand on his back as you replied, “You’re going to make an incredible dad. Now, is this why you were so damn weird when I asked you what you were doing today?”

His head fell back as he laughed, remembering the breakfast you’d shared on the couch that morning. He had skirted the questions you asked about his plans, his responses all oddly vague. “Yeah, I was hoping you wouldn’t be suspicious.”

“I thought you were being weird, but that’s pretty standard for you,” you joked.

“You’re weird,” he shot back, his endearing smile eliminating any insult from his words.

“And that is why you married me,” you said sweetly. “Thank you for coming to this. It means a lot that you’re interested.”

“Of course, honey. I’m always interested in what you spend your days doing.” He gave you a quick kiss on the cheek, and you caught one of your students, Ben, watching. He gave you a funny look, eyeing Joe, making you laugh. Joe’s gaze followed yours to Ben standing by his project, and he guided you over, keeping a hand on your lower back.

“Hey, kid,” Joe said with a warm smile, giving him a fist bump.

Still wearing an odd expression, he asked bluntly, and slightly suspiciously, “Who are you?”

“I’m Joe. I’m married to your teacher, Mrs. Burrow. What’s your name?”

Recovering from the initial shock of seeing some random man kissing his teacher, he responded with a grin, “I’m Ben. Can I tell you what I learned about polar bears?”

“Of course, Ben. I’d love to hear,” Joe said, bending down to get on the boy’s level.

Ben beamed while he talked Joe through his project, delighted to have his undivided attention. You watched their interaction, one hand absentmindedly rubbing Joe’s upper back, marveling at how natural he was with kids. He was so attentive, fully focused on the pictures Ben pointed at, listening to the facts he rattled off excitedly.

“This is great work, bud. I’ll put in a good word for you with the boss here,” he said conspiratorially, tilting his head towards you.

After giving Ben a star sticker from the sheet in your back pocket and leaving him with another curious parent, you and Joe drifted through the crowd. “I can’t wait to go to science fairs for our kids,” you said wistfully.

“That’s one project we could get started on soon,” he mumbled into your ear, squeezing your waist.

“Maybe even tonight,” you suggested in an undertone.

“I like how you think. Why waste time?”

“Exactly. Speaking of time, I should get back to my kids.”

“Alright, sweets. I’ll see you when you’re home, then. I love you.”

“Love you too, Joey.” After giving him a quick peck, you disappeared back into the crowd of parents and students.

He smiled as he watched you go. Our kids. The thought warmed his heart. He couldn’t wait to have another member join your little family.

“Love you too, Joey.” After giving him a quick peck, you disappeared back into the crowd of parents and students.

He smiled as he watched you go. Our kids. The thought warmed his heart. He couldn’t wait to have another member join your little family.
