AU drabble: Angst-Free Edward
This is for all you people who say you're tired of Edward's angst. Let's see what happens when you get your wish. (loosely inspired by Silque's AU in progress, "Concerto", a great read with lots of lovely Chopin nocturnes and an adorable Edward!)
.
Edward: "Bella… now that we've known each other for a few days, there's something I need to tell you."
Bella: *deep breath* I had a feeling there was something. Okay, shoot.
Edward: "I'm actually an undead monster, commonly called a vampire, and yes we DO drink blood, but it's okay because we usually try to bite animals, not people. I'm over a hundred years old, and I've murdered a fair amount of people, though I promise it's been a while. You're my eternal mate, which means you have no choice in the matter, but that's okay, because I don't either! My psychic sister informs me that I will be taking you home with me and changing you into a vampire in…" *checks watch* "… eleven days. It involves me biting you in the throat and hopefully not killing you myself. Y'know… maybe I'll just have my dad do it, he's really a pro at this. You'll like him. No worries, though, the intractable pain only lasts three days and the newborn madness and bloodlust lasts only for about a year, tops. I would ask you to marry me, but I already heard you say yes (eventually) through Alice's visions- oh, I'm a mind reader by the way, that's how I did that- so here's your ring. Isn't it great? It was my mother's. My dad- the one who bit me, I mean, pried it off my dead mother's hand back in 1918. But now it's yours!"
Bella: *blinks, looks down at hand* Um, okay.

Well, whaddya know? It worked anyway. Still, I think the angst is more fun.
