Disclaimer: If I owned Twilight it would not have that sorry beginner fanfiction-esque ending. Jacob and Edward would have gotten together and Bella would be more rounded out (also put with Carlisle or Jasper).
Your Author: I know many of you are waiting on 'Burning Sun'. However I've stumbled into a bit of a writers block right now and cuttently it is on hold. I apologize, but fanfiction is my fun outlet. I make a living writing and so one-shots and drabbles tend to be easier to write during my down time. This will probably get updated a tad more.
It had been a long day that just didn't seem to end. His intern was constantly tripping over his own two feet, smitten by his boss and trying hard to please him. He seemed to ignore the silver band around Edward's finger and, in turn, Edward ignored the blatant flirting off shift. He was a patient man, but this was pushing it. Perhaps he could pass the young intern off on someone else. Of course they'd also been short staffed that day, the flu bug was going around, and Edward ended up pulling more hours than previously intended. Thankfully he didn't require sleep, but he had to feign exhaustion to get away from the hectic mess.
Edward pulled off his coat and set his briefcase on the couch, noticing something instantly amiss. His lovers head did not poke around the corner nor did he yell out some sort of greeting. He wasn't asleep on the couch either. The entire house was still, eerily so. His scent was still strong and his car in the garage so he was still home. Edward moved further into his home, sensitive hearing catching the soft sound of music flowing from the direction of the bedroom. He smiled softly coming to the conclusion that Jacob was asleep.
He opened the door quietly and slowly so as not to disturb the slumbering wolf. He was surprised to see his lover, not sleeping, but moving about the room in a particular pattern. His eyes were closed, face scrunched up in concentration and arms lazily half raised. In his mind he was retracing a dance pattern that Alice had shown him.
Edward saw his ears twitched slightly, a movement very few ever caught, and knew his presence had been noticed. Jacob whirled around, face burning with embarrassment. He quickly went over to the cd player and shut off the music trying to act as if he hadn't just been caught.
"Welcome home," he smiled as he went up to Edward and nuzzled his head beneath his neck. Edward wrapped his arms around the young wolf before tilting his head up and kissing him.
"Thank you," he murmured against his lips before pulling away. "What was that you were doing?" He inquired with faux innocence. Jacob sighed, shoulders slumping in defeat.
"You weren't supposed to see that." He grumbled as he moved things back into place he'd pushed aside.
"Why not? You can't possibly be embarrassed about it." Another look at Jacob's expression said he could, but the wolf shook his head.
"It was…supposed to be a surprise." He ran his hands through his hair, effectively messing it up. "Just, ah, never mind." He could see the doubt and growing frustration in Jacob's mind. He wanted to get it right, but was having a hard time. It was for Edward, he wanted to do it for Edward. So they could dance, together, without the younger looking like a fool and embarrassing him. Edward wrapped his arms around Jacob from behind before he could leave the room. He pressed his lips to the side of his neck.
"Thank you love."
"I was supposed to surprise you…" Jacob repeated, disappointment coloring his tone.
"But you did," Edward insisted. He turned Jacob around so he was facing him, one arm wrapped around his back. He reached back and turned the player back on, a soft piano melody filtering through the speakers. He took one of Jacob's hands in his and kissed the palm before lacing their fingers together. Then they were moving together, slowly and gently. Jacob wasn't as uncertain about where to put his feet as he used to be, instead he let Edward guide him. A soft smile graced Edward's lips as Jacob's head found the crook of his neck and his eyes slid closed. Both lost in the music and one another.
