[Bridgerton AU because I watched all three seasons and I'm waiting for episode 5 of season three 😭 Also Bridgerton is super hard to make gender-neutural because it was set in the early 1800's but I tried my best, also Vox is Queen Charlotte]

In Greenwich, south-east London, there is a large community of high class families which is overseen by King Vox Akuma. Every year, the king hosts a season of love as some say, where eligible bachelors and bachelorettes try to find love, or in some cases, someone wealthy to support their family.

Everyone has been excited to see one of the Eveland children get introduced into the season since they were born because the Eveland's had a very good reputation and were very wealthy. They were even close with the King Vox Akuma himself, which is a very high honor. Once the first child became 18, Ike debuted into the season as the newest lord to be wed.

While Ike was very attractive and had the ladies wrapped around his finger with just his looks, he was very shy and hated so much attention on him. He constantly had eyes on him wherever he went, whether from women planning to win his affection or men who were envious of how easy he swooned everyone.

Half way through the season, Ike had enough of women trying to please him by claiming they had such a beautiful personality without actually learning anything about them. So he planned to find someone to court, anyone to court. He didn't care who it was, he just wanted to seem like he found interest in someone so that he would be left alone.

One night, at a ball that the king hosted, you were standing by the refreshments and watching couples dance when Ike walked up to you. His face was slightly pink, and he looked very nervous, but he held up his hand to you and took a deep breath.

"Will you indulge me in a dance?"
