The Waves of Fate - Undertaker X Reader

11: Elegant Blue Rose

A/N: SORRY GUYS! I ran out of energy/time to post another chapter, but I'm posting it now! And sadly I would have also posted this about an hour ago, but for some reason the site just didn't want to post it. That's okay, though. I think I'll post the next chapter a bit later, tonight. Just because I was going to do that anyways, but I feel bad because the site wouldn't let me post this chapter sooner. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this!

"You look absolutely beautiful, Lady Rose."

"H-huh?? Oh... thank... you," you managed to respond, your cheeks tinting pink at the compliment, and you couldn't stop the slightly goofy smile that began to plaster itself upon your face. "I'm just glad I look decent. I'm still trying to work out this whole... corset thing."

"Are you? I thought all ladies like to wear corsets –"

"They're very constricting," you snorted in defiance. "Makes it hard to breath. I can't run around in a corset all day. I'd probably pass out... But I guess if you think I look acceptable then it's worth it," you decided to say, glancing away from him for a moment as your eyes wandered the sidewalk, noticing some pedestrians walking down the street while another couple was taking a light hearted stroll in your direction. You flashed the woman a slightly meek smile, enough to look pleasant, while the Undertaker grinned and held up his top hat, causing the male to wince and his companion to chuckle nervously in response.

You couldn't help but let out a light snicker as the two of you walked past. "My goodness. Do you always get a reaction like that?"

"Like what?" he hummed lightheartedly, and you rolled your eyes and let a huff leave your breath.

"Fearfulness. Or maybe you just creep people out? That sort of reaction. The 'aaah!' reaction," you stated, holding up your hands and waving your arms about, and you grinned happily to yourself as you noticed the man started to snicker at your demonstration.

"Hehehehe~! Well!... I suppose so –"

"I'm just wondering if it's intentional or not. I mean, if it's intentional then it's probably fun for you, but if not then I wonder how you feel about that," you decided to say, and you could tell he was giving you a curious look from behind his bangs, and you calmly slipped your arm back around his, linking the two of you together as you walked down the street.

You weren't used to these 'mannerisms'. You're used to seeing a couple holding hands, even making out, but linking arms? And is that even proper if you're not married or an actual couple? You just don't know, but you're willing to figure it out, at least.

"... So..." you decided to say, noticing he had gotten quiet and you figured it was time to snap the man out of his thoughts, "where are you taking me, anyways? Should I be worried?"

"Heh. Not at all, my dear. In fact, it's a little respectable restaurant a few blocks from here, but~ I haven't had a reason to go."

"... You needed an escort, eh?" you had to ask, and noticing the pout that fell upon his face you couldn't help but snicker in response. "Okay, sorry. I shouldn't have said it that way."

"I heard their dessert is to die~ for," he grinned to himself, licking his lips in anticipation while you smirked at the excitable look on his face.

"As long as you're paying I'm on board, but you could have told me we're just trying out food. I wouldn't have turned you down."

"I wasn't sure if you would accept," he decided to state, but you let out a tired sigh in response and he glanced at you, from the corner of his eyes, before letting a grin fall upon his face. "Don't worry, little rose. I plan on paying."
