Edward & Me (An Edward Scissorhands X Reader Love Story)

First Family Dinner With Edward

Y/n's P.O.V.

I walked with Kim, Jim, & Karen after school had let out for the day. "I don't like them, they give me the creeps." Kim says. "You should see the clown in Ms. Peters's yard." Karen said. 

"I think it's pretty creative." I said admiring them as we walked home. "Of course, you would." Jim said making me roll my eyes.

"Y/n!" I heard Edward yell out. I turned & smiled to him. Jim picked me up & tried to make fun of Edward. "Don't worry Eddie, she's waiting for you." Jim said as I told him to put me down. After he did, I smiled sadly at Edward & left with Kim & Karen, Jim following behind.

Later that night...

"Bill, you know what Edward was telling me? He had lunch at Jackie's today." Mom said as Edward cut up the steak for dinner. "Really?" Dad said even though it sounded like he didn't care.

"She just had her kitchen completely redone." Mom said. "Well, I'll be darned." Dad said. "Dad is so not interested in this." I said to Kim as she giggled a little. "New paint, new cabinets, new floors. Uh, a new microwave, new silent dishwasher. Isn't that something?" Mom said. "Isn't that wonderful?" Dad said. "The whole works, right mom?" I asked. Mom smiled & nodded.

"Jim, didn't you tell me your mother had her kitchen done too?" Mom asked Jim. "Yeah, my dad bought himself a bunch of new toys." Jim said. "Really?" Mom asked. "Yeah. Big screen T.V.'s, CD players, V.C.R. with four heads." He finished. "Hmm. Huh." Dad was more intrigued by the conversation now. 

"My goodness sake! I wonder what it's like to be that rich." Mom said. "I know I wouldn't like it. I like your job mom, I think it's pretty awesome." I said. Dad just chuckled as Edward was still cutting up the steak. "Well, they pretty much keep things locked up. My father has his own room for his stuff to make sure I can't get any use for it. He's so cheap, he won't even help me buy an old car." Jim said.

"Police state." I whispered. Jim glared as I knew he heard me. "Well, he probably wants you to pay for it yourself. I agree with him. Builds character. You'll appreciate it more, right Y/n/n?" Dad said. "Right dad, that's what I had to do." I said. "Dad." Kim groaned. "Kim, don't." I said nearly laughing. "Speaking of money, I understand you're not charging for your gardening, Edward." Dad said.

"Dad." Now it was my turn to groan, it was getting a little too uncomfortable. "Now, Bill. Marge made him cookies today." "Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies. You can't buy a car with cookies. Am I right, Jim?" Dad said. "Uh, that's true sir. You can't." Jim said. "Could make life easier a little bit." I mumbled.

Edward handed Karen a piece of steak. "I- I can't eat that. He used his hands. I don't think it's sanitary." Karen said. Edward then passed the steak to me & I smiled shyly at him. Edward then accidentally dropped the meat on my lap & apologized profusely. "It's fine, Edward. I think I'm getting full anyway." I said grabbing the meat & putting it on my plate as I left my seat.

After dinner, I went to go check on Edward. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked. "Yes." Edward said. "I'm so sorry about tonight, it was crazy. Especially, since it was your first family dinner with us." I said. "It's okay." Edward said. "You are too sweet for words, Edward. I hope you know that." I said. "Sometimes." Edwards said. "Well, I'm going to bed. Goodnight." I said ending the night with a kiss to his forehead. "Goodnight." Edward said. I smiled as I left to go to Kim & I's room.
