eloise noticing she likes fem!reader? being rlly confused ab it at first but reader likes her back and reassures her
eloise had noticed her growing feelings towards you just a few months ago, unsure as to why she was filled with jealousy when male members of the ton seemingly pined after you, your dance card always filled which left less and less time for meaningful conversation with your best friend.
she knew for certain that she wasn't jealous of the male validation that you received on the daily - she didn't want to be forced to dance in front of hundreds of judging eyes, and she wanted to be stuck conversing with a man who wasn't one of her many brothers even less.
so why did she become so jealous each time you spoke of marriage and certain men who had apparently caught your eye.
the two of you sat on the floor of eloise's bedchamber, having snuck away from the bridgerton ball after cressida cowper made a nasty comment about your dress and made you burst into floods of tears.
"i think you look gorgeous in your dress - though obviously you would look beautiful no matter what you wore... i believe that we shouldn't be reduced down to the uncomfortable item of clothing we have been forced to wear." eloise rambled on, you by her side dabbing at your teary eyes with a handkerchief.
you shrug. you had adored your new gown until cressida spoiled it for you. and though you and eloise both shared a passion for feminist literature you didn't always agree on the same things, you still adored attending balls and the glamour that came along with it, eloise never had. "thank you, el. i suppose that you're right."
silence falls between the two of you for a moment, eloise finally gathering the courage to say something regarding her feelings - to at least hint at it. "i do wish our marriage choices weren't so limited."
that certainly caught your attention - you looked up quickly, meeting her blue eyes. "do you mean... in terms of class?"
eloise felt her cheeks flush pink as she shook her head. "no. benedict and sophie overcame class... i mean gender - we would have a much wider choice, more agreeable choices too, i think."
you nodded, the same thoughts crossing your mind at least once a day - you were under the impression that you were the only one, broken in some way and so you decided to throw yourself into the season in the hopes you could fix your thought process. it didn't work.
"i thought that it was just me..." you mumble, reaching over to take eloise's hand in yours. you squeeze gently, wanting to reassure her that she isn't alone in her feelings. "is there somebody in particular who caught your eye? a lady?" you questioned, though you secretly and selfishly hoped that there wasn't someone who wasn't you.
eloise smiled at you, squeezing your hand in return. she moved a little closer to you - her confidence growing. "there is... she has been my friend for years now. i only recently discovered my feelings but i think that i could fall in love with her. she's beautiful, and intelligent and far kinder than i..."
you look away from her, stabs of disappointment rushing coursing through your veins as she described a lady who you believed could never be you.
much to your surprise, eloise brought her hand to your chin - lifting your head up gently to meet her eyes once again. "and i think that i long to kiss her right now." she finished her sentence, your heart beginning to beat faster than you ever thought possible.
"yes please." you reply, your voice barely a whisper as you bring your lips to softly meet hers.

“ ay, ¿a qué hora es la comida? Me estoy muriendo de hambre. ”  ⸻   ❪  @eloiscs  ❫
Tumblr media
COMEDORES ⋆ ríe encogiéndose sutilmente de hombros en lo que mira la mesa tendida a todo el estilo de la nobleza. " siempre me pregunté que se sentirá comer en mesas así, como toda una princesa de genovia. " veía mesas largas y bien montadas como esas sólo en las peliculas, estaba fascinaba con verlas en carne propia. " no, pero en serio. ¿será que nos abandonaron a nuestra suerte aquí hasta mañana? de todas formas, traje unas barritas de cereal por si de verdad tienes hambre. " suele cargar cosas dulces en su bolso en caso que le de fatiga, porque sabe que se pone de enferma y de mal humor cuando tiene hambre.

@godresembled asked: 😋 to give my muse their favorite snack ﹙ eloise / daemon ﹚
Tumblr media
eloise’s  round  face  brightened  at  the  sight  of  the  bowl  filled  to  the  brim  with  exotic  fruits.  she’d  eaten  the  same  dish  the  first  day  she  was  brought  to  the  castle.  “my  favorite.  you  remembered.”  she  stood  on  her  tip  toes  to  sweetly  kiss  daemon’s  cheek.  her  attitude  towards  the  prince  had  changed  since  she  was  forced  to  serve  him.  although  he  could  be  violent  and cruel  towards  others,  daemon  treated  eloise  like  gold  and  was  protective  of  her  more  often  than  not.  they  had  a  strange  bond.  “thank  you.  what  a  lovely  surprise.  will  you  join  me?”

Benedict Bridgerton x Female Reader
Benedict bumps into you, quite literally, at a ball while trying to escape his mother's attempts to find him a partner. You decide to humour him with a dance, not realising just how entwined you would become with him. It seems the universe will find every excuse to push you and Benedict together, no matter how much you fight it.
{Masterlist}
{Previous Chapter} - {Next Chapter}
Season one
Chapter Three - Becoming acquainted
♡♡♡
When the letter arrived at your house, your mother squealed with delight. This was the most exciting thing that had ever happened to her, it would seem.
Though you did make a point to remind her, this is not what she thought it was.
Still, you were dragged off to be cleaned throughly and dressed in your best gown for the occasion. Your mother saw to every detail. It was tiresome.
You said not a word the entire time.
Once you were dressed, she guided you to the carriage. For the entire ride, she told you what to do. You spent the whole trip looking out the window, wishing to disappear. You had been looking forward to a nice dinner with an intriguing family, but you knew your mother would make this unbearable.
The thought to befriend Benedict and Daphne had crossed your mind after they left last night. That's what you would look for in them. Friendship.
When you arrive at their home you are left in awe of how beautiful the house was from outside. You follow your mother up to the front door and wait to be let in. You step inside and find yourself further in awe. Their home was lovely. It felt cosy.
Lady Bridgerton comes over to greet you both. "I am glad to see you here. Please, come inside."
You're led into the drawing room where everyone is sitting and chatting. You find yourself startled to see the Duke of Hastings present. He greets you with a nod. You nod back.
Violet introduces you to the rest of the family. Anthony greets you the same way as the Duke. Benedict offers you a small smile, though you're not sure if he's actually pleased to see you or not. Colin kisses the back of your hand, and you smile. Daphne smiles softly at you. Eloise says nothing. She just looks at you, a book in her hands. Francesca gives a soft smile. Gregory and Hyacinth both say hello to you.
Violet urges you to join the others until dinner is ready. You look around the room and find there are no available seats. Benedict realises this, too, and stands up. "Please, sit here."
You thank him quietly and sit down where he had been. The seat was warm. He must have been sat in here a while.
Conversation proceeds within the room. Anthony is talking away the Duke. Eloise has her nose back in her book. Benedict stands behind you, his hand resting on the back of the chair.
"I didn't realise your family knew the Duke of Hastings." You said softly, looking up at Benedict.
"Anthony and he were friends back in Oxford. Do you know him?"
"Not personally. I've heard much of his father, though..."
The subject was a sore one, so neither of you said any more. You glance at the Duke. He looks like he would rather be anywhere else right now.
Benedict brings your attention back to him. "I'm sorry about my mother."
"Don't be." You smile. "I know how it is."
Benedict smiles, too. "Still, I will admit, I am pleased you are here."
"You are?"
"I'm very fond of making new friends. Does that sound good to you? My sister could also perhaps use a friend right now too."
You glance at Daphne and then back at Benedict. "Yes. That does sound rather nice. I hear the Bridgerton's are quite the friends to have."
Benedict smiles. "I think we are."
You both chuckle and smile at one another. From Violet's point of view, she believes you two are getting along quite nicely. The Duke has yet to speak to Daphne at all.
The bell for dinner is rung, and you all rise. You walk with Benedict to the dining room. Your mother joins Lady Bridgerton.
Benedict pulls out a chair for you, and you sit down. Daphne sits beside you and Benedict across from you.
The Duke is seated on the other side of Daphne.
Dinner is lovely. The whole family is sitting together at the table. Conversation flows naturally. There are smiles and giggles.
The conversation turns to Lady Whistledown.
"Haven't you heard what we're talking about? For all we know, Whistledown may be some interloper living in Bloomsbury, of all palces." Colin says.
You chuckle.
"What should be so terrible about Bloomsbury?" Benedict asks. "That people ther actually work for a living?"
"She does seem to be someone with access." Daphne points out.
"Who knows if Whsitledown is even a she?"
"Fair point." Anthony chines in.
"Because she is simply too good to be anyone but a man?" Eloise asks.
Benedict pulls a face at Eloise. You chuckle.
"Well, I think it rather obvious that the writer is Lady Danbury." Francesca says firmly.
"Lady Danbury enjoys sharing her insults with society directly." Daphne adds. "She would never bother herself writing them all down."
"Could it be Lady Featherington?" Hyacinth asks.
"No!" The whole table explodes into laughter.
"You have yet to read what Whistledown writes of the Featheringtons, little sister." Eloise tells her.
The table fills with different conversations now. Everyone is talking to each other about different things. You listen mostly to Benedict and Colin.
"I'm to spar Jackson himself." Colin says.
"You?" Benedict looks at him with disbelief.
"Is that envy I detect in your voice?"
You chuckle at the brothers. You're so focused on them thst you don't notice Daphne looking at the Duke beside her.
"Judgement, brother. I shall need to witness this." Benedict says.
Colin rolls his eyes, and you laugh again. Benedict looks up and smiles at you. "You'll come, yes? We shall watch as my brother fails in this endeavour."
Colin looks at you. "Please do not feed into my brother's terrible influence."
Benedict pretends to be hurt as he puts his hand on his chest. "You wound me."
You giggle. Benedict and Colin both chuckle with you, smiling at their own banter.
Things are getting tense beside you between Daphne and the Duke. You look at your plate, trying to ignore the atmosphere building.
"You are a rake... through and through." You hear Daphne say. "Tell me I'm wrong."
"Who is to refrain from thinking about whom again?" The Duke asks.
"I assure you. I am anything but interested in you." Daphne states.
"Good."
"Quite."
"And I am anything but interested in you, the eldest sister of my oldest friend, yet another subject of a certain writer. Chaste, neat, desperate."
You glance up at Benedict and Colin. Colin glances at Anthony, Benedict looks up at you as if checking to see if you're okay.
"I shall have you know-"
"To marry, that is." The Duke cuts her off. "Tell me I am wrong."
Elosie laughs, but the look her mother gives her soon had her quiet again.
"Hastings, I'm so glad you decided to join us this evening." Anthony says, breaking the tension. "It was most spontaneous of you."
You feel yourself relax again.
"Not at all." Simon responds. "With Lady Danbury accepting your dear mother's gracious invitation on my behalf... Well, however could I have declined."
Anthony looks at his mother, not looking too pleased with this news.
"You must stay for dessert. You too," she addresses you.
You smile. "Thank you."
"It's gooseberry pie, Your Grace." Violet smiles at the Duke.
"Ah! Lovely!" He sounds pleased.
Violet chuckles.
After dinner, you find yourself back in the drawing room. You're standing by the window with Benedict. He had been telling you a little bit about the house.
"It seems your mother has become quite acquainted with my own," he says, guiding you to the sofas.
"Yes. They spent a good portion of dinner chatting."
"I do believe mother only intended to invite you tonight," he chuckles.
"Yes. Well, mother is quite... eager to see me married. She thinks I stand a chance with one of you." You chuckle. "Fear not, I am not after your hand."
Benedict chuckles. "I do think we may become rather good freinds."
"You do?"
He nods with a smile.
"Then I am delighted to earn your companionship."
You both chuckle.
"You're welcome anytime." He tells you.
"I feel rather honoured."
"You should," he grins.
The hour starts to grow late. Violet passes by the doors of the drawing room. For a moment, she thought you and Benedict were alone in there, but as she comes closer, she spots Eloise reading in one corner, and Francesca working on her embroidery.
Violet enters the room. "I hope dinner was alright."
You look up and smile. "It was lovely. Thank you for inviting me."
Violet comes a little closer. "Well, any friend of my sons and daughters are welcome in my home." She glances at Benedict, who smiles at her.
Lady Bridgerton understands that her son has no intention of courting you. Nor do you seem to have any interest in him that way. However, a mother can hold onto hope.
"Benedict, why don't you escort her home?"
You rise from the sofa with him and bid goodnight to his sisters, who both say goodbye in return. Violet sees you both to the door. Benedict takes your arm as you exit out onto the street.
It only dawned on you that your mother was nowhere to be seen. Benedict realises you're looking for as you exit his home.
"It would seem she left a little earlier. Apparently, you were enjoying yourself so much with us. She decided to let you stay a while longer."
You smile. "Is that so?"
"I'm guessing. I have no idea." He grins.
Benedict takes you home, making sure you get inside safely. Before you leave his side and head in for the night, he asks you a question.
"Will you be attending the ball tomorrow?" He asks.
"I believe so, yes."
He smiles. "Save me a dance?"
You chuckle. "Of course. We have to help each other, no?"
Benedict smiles and watches you go inside. Even when the door shuts behind you he remains standing there for a moment.
Yes, you could help each other. You could help keep his mother at bay for a while, and perhaps he can help bring some attention your way.
Sounds like a plan.
