Work Text:
Your Boyfriend has been REAL huffy lately. Sure, he was a grumpy guy before but...he's been grumbling for the past two days now.
He's been passive aggressive about almost everything! About: what time to go to bed, how you did the dishes wrong, how you folded laundry wrong, how you BREATHED wrong.
You're getting pretty tired of it.
As much as you would like to ask him about it, you don't particularly feel like getting your head chomped off for not already knowing what he's upset about.
So you decided to do somthing about it.
After doing some extensive research on, not only monster courting habits, but also on how monsters continue to show affection after getting together to even the most prickly of partners. Most commonly by purring and rubbing their heads on each other.
And you have a realization, maybe that's why he's so upset. Humans don't purr or make other very cute sounds when there coming from a 6'5 spikey skeleton!
Only one way to fix your lack of vocalization!
You figure that a romantic date night somewhere exclusive and expensive would be right up his alley. Buying him a couple new outfits with matching shoes and bags and jewelry to butter him up. Rent a limo to drive you. Smell good candles, romantic lighting and music with great and saucy atmosphere and delicious food?
How could Edge possibly refuse this? A night all about him? No way!
-
The date night has finally come! After a week of waiting you get to surprise him!
But your thoughts are interrupted by your special someone.
"YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH TODAY!" He yelled storming through the door after a long day at work, slamming it shut. "SHARON ACCUSED ME OF HAVING STOLEN MONEY HER GRIMY PURSE! I AM A VERY SUCCESSFUL MONSTER! WHY WOULD I WANT NOTHING WORTH MORE THAN 20 DOLLARS!?" He seems to sense somthing is up after a pause.
He glances at you while taking off his shoes in the entry.A rule as to not track dirt, thinking back on why.
"NO SHOES IN THE HOUSE! YOU TWO LISTEN WORSE THAN A BABYBONES!" He shouts stomping his still high-heeled foot on his semi-freshly swept hardwood floors. You weren't going to bring it up though, and neither was his brother who was visiting.
"WHAT?" He practically demands. Having slipped into his totally not bunny house slippers.
"I have a surprise for you." You said sneakily. " Upstairs on our bed." Even if he wasn't looking at you he could hear the smile in your voice.
With poorly contained pride he puffs, "OF COURSE YOU NEED ME TO SPARE YOUR INADEQUACIES VIA GIFTS." He starts up the stairs.
"Inadequacies?" You question.
Maybe he was on to your plan.
-
He was, in fact nowhere near being onto you.
He looked great in the dress that he picked. Jessica rabbit esc but with spaghetti straps instead of being held up by whatever she had going on. He also had black heels and paired it with a black fur shawl that instead of draping over his shoulders he held with his elbows as to not cover the bust he had summoned. Which you were a little bittersweet about. He might get a little chilly, but you could look at his cleavage.
But hey if tonight went well enough you might be able to see a little more than cleavage.
Edge also chose to wear a double rowed pearl choker with a ruby in the middle and a gold clasp in the back. Matching with his bracelet.
"WHERE ARE YOU ESCORTING ME?" He said glancing at you through the full mirror.
"You'll see when we get there~." You purr. He gives you an unimpressed look through the mirror and after a huff goes back to preening himself.
"IT BETTER BE GOOD! IF I'M SPENDING ALL THIS TIME GETTING DRESSED AND YOU TAKE ME TO A GREASE TRAP," He trails- face scrunched into a cute scowl. "I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT ENJOY THE SERVEITY OF THE CONSEQUENCE!" Having seemingly deemed himself done he turns to face you.
"I'm sure I would enjoy anything you do to me puppy." That sure caught him off-guard. After making a choked noise you can see him rear up to scoled you.
"PERVERT!" He yells, hands balled by his sides and stomping his heeled foot. " PERVERT! PERVERT! PERVERT!" Face getting a wonderful shade of red with each yell and stomp. With a final connect with the floor he squeezes his eye sockets tightly shut. "YOU ARE AWFUL! WORSE THAN MY HORNDOG BROTHER!" bending forward slightly as if his yelling had weight. Standing up rigid straight he glares at you, face still completely red.
You liked to tease that he might be in control when it's time to love each other. From his reactions to the teasing that he liked it.
Your phone helpfully chimes, it having been a text that your limo is here to take you on the road to romance.
"Saved by the bell.." your mumble. " C'mon love, our ride Is here." You say ignoring your mates questionable glare and walking out of the bedroom door.
Making it outside you open the limo door for Edge. He seemed to has forgotten all about the whole fiasco that had just happened. Looking very pleased while getting in. After having gotten in and buckled up yourself, you motion for the driver to head off, having already told him where to go before hand.
"AND WHERE IS IT YOU'LL BE TAKING ME?" He asks facing you folding his hands over his crosses legs.
You know you'll be given hell for this but... you just can't miss and opertunity to see that pretty blush again. " I usually plan for the bed but if you want to do it on the counters in restaurants bathroom-"
-
Having given the driver a hearty tip as an apology for becoming almost deaf you decided it might be time to let the culprit out of the limo. Edge stepped out, and just glared at you. His zygomatic bones still had a glaze of red. Having taking a look around he turns back to you.
"DÉLICIEUSE CHATTE SQUELETTE?" Questioned while he crossed his arms. Humming, you guide him to the door with a hand on the small of his back. Opening it and gesturing for him to go in first.
"Reservation for Y/N." You tell the hostess, your hand returning to his hip.
"Right this way!" The hostess said with cheerily. You assume that the pay must be crazy to have her this happy working in customer service.
She takes you to a table that's off to the side. Pulling out a chair for your lover, he hums happy with the speedy service and sits down. You follow.
"Your sever will be right with you." She states handing the both of you menues and returning to her spot behind the stand.
Taking a look at what they have to offer, you can feel Edge doesn't have the same idea. "Yes dear?" You asked, glancing up at him. His chin resting on the back oh his hand. Huffing a breath out he sits back with ram-rod posture, finally opening his menue to glance at what they have. Deciding that it's best to let him be you look through the, to you, very pricey menu. But to Edge it seems that the prices are very much affordable.
After a waitress comes up and introduces herself you order and have the food delivered incredibly quickly.
"Do we want a dessert?" You question looking at him in the restaurantssoft lighting. As filling as the food was you still had a hankering for somthing sweet.
"YOU ORDER SOMTHING. YOU KNOW I DON'T HAVE A TASTE FOR SWEETS." He replied. Your gaze lingering on him far longer than necessary. The soft lights and quiet music seem to draw you in. 'He is certainly a beautiful man' you decide.
Having made up your mind you forgo the dessert in order to leave sooner to show edge the new talent you've been working on.
Thankfully when you get back into the limo you have a different driver. Making sure to tip handsomely again, for having to deal with your 'perverted' ways of hitting on edge, and the subsequent screeches he let's out.
Walking into the door after holding it open for him you decide it's now or never. Steeling your nerves you go for it.
purr
You never thought Edges head could whip so fast around like that.
...
..This isn't what you planned. You don't know what you had in mind but it wasn't just..looking at each other.Blinking rapidly Edge seemed to snap himself out of it.
"What Was That?" He cautiously asked. His eyelights never once leaving you.
"Well...humans don't make the same noises monsters do." Shifting you feet you continue. "And you've been off all week, so I figured if I'd learn to purr it might chill you out a little..." This was so awful. Purrs to humans are just generally good. Maybe to monsters it means so many different things? But all the research I did didn't say anything about that! Maybe it's different for fell monsters-
Before you can continue to spiral through your thoughts, you are engulfed in purring boney arms.
" It Has Been Difficult Reading You, I Admit." Said between purrs. " BUT IT IS NOTHING I CAN NOT HANDLE. READING YOUR MOODS AS MY MATE WILL SERVE AS A WONDERFUL CHALLENGE!"
Picking you up and carrying you up the stairs purring all the way.
