Thank you, Kit! I feel bad because I’ve missed your last couple of request events, and I love your writing so much! But thank you for sending this in! It was a tough decision, but I ultimately went with the Edgeberry one because the inspiration hit me. But oh my god, I have to come back to that Fellbros one, so much potential for adorableness. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

Warnings for Blue being a manipulative little shit and mild sexual content.

---

Steeling himself, and taking what
must have been his hundredth calming breath of the morning, Edge raised his
fist and knocked three times on the door. A trill voice sounded from inside.
“Come in, it’s unlocked!” Slowly, Edge pushed open the door, entering the small
dorm room. Blue was seated on one of the beds, an assortment of books and
papers scattered across the sheets in front of him. He glanced up as Edge walked
in, a delighted grin stretching across his round face. “Edge! How lovely of you
to stop by.”

Edge nodded stiffly, distractedly
glancing around the room. “Is my brother here?” he asked, trying not to sound
as anxious as he was feeling.

Blue shook his head, his grin
fading slightly. “Oh—no, he just left to get some coffee before class. You
might be able to catch him if you hurry.”

Edge breathed an internal sigh of
relief and shook his head. “No, I um—I actually came to see you.”

Blue looked surprised, although
the tiny stars in his eyes sparkled slightly. “Oh!” A pale cyan blush crept
across his cheekbones, and Edge noticed him trying to hide it by ducking his head,
focusing aptly on the books in front of him. “What prompted this visit?” he
asked. Edge could tell he was trying to feign nonchalance, but the way his gaze
occasionally flickered up gave him away.

“Actually, I was, um…” Feeling
awkward hovering by the door, Edge walked hesitantly up to the bed, and Blue
glanced up, his eyes widening marginally. “May I sit?”

“O-of course!” Blue said,
stammering slightly. He shifted over as Edge slid onto the bed beside him,
twisting his hands together as he tried to calm his nerves. Silence ticked for
a few moments, Edge trying to build up the confidence to ask the question on
his mind. Eventually, Blue cleared his throat, and Edge flinched slightly. “So,
uh, what is this about?”

Trying desperately not to blush,
Edge drew himself up so that his posture was rigid. “I—I need to ask you for a
favour.”

Blue seemed taken aback, his brow
bones shooting up. “Oh? What favour?”

Edge played idly with a loose
thread on one of Blue’s pillows, channelling every ounce of his self-control
into not losing his nerve. “It has to do with, um—well, the thing is—” Edge
mentally cursed himself for being so ineloquent. Gathering up his strength, he
huffed a heavy sigh, turning to look Blue straight in the eye. “I’M FAILING ONE
OF MY CLASSES AND I NEED YOU TO TUTOR ME.” Blue flinched slightly at the sudden
increase in volume, and Edge blushed deeply, looking away quickly. “If… if
that’s okay with you,” he added, voice shrinking significantly.

“Oh,” Blue said, sounding a
little stunned. His large cerulean eyes were still wide as he regarded Edge,
who was trying very hard to fight back his heated blush. “Um, what class is
it?” Blue asked.

“It’s an astronomy elective I’m
taking,” Edge mumbled, his blush deepening. He neglected to mention that his
knowledge of astronomy was practically non-existent, and that he’d only
enrolled in the class because he’d known Blue was taking it too.

“I see,” Blue said, looking
thoughtful for a moment. Edge glanced at him hesitantly, his fingers clenching
into a fist as he apprehensively awaited Blue’s answer. After what felt like an
eternity, the smaller skeleton turned to look at him. “Very well—fine. I’ll
help you.”

Edge’s soul flipped, and he felt
a grin broadening across his face. “You—you will? Oh, Blue, thank you! I—”

“But,” Blue interrupted, holding
up a hand. A small, almost canny smile twisted the corner of his mouth, “I want
something in return.”

Edge felt himself slumping
slightly, but he tried not to let it show, quickly nodding. “Oh—yes, of course.
What is it?”

To his surprise, a pale tint of
magic rose to Blue’s cheekbones, but the little monster held himself upright,
keeping Edge’s gaze firmly locked. “I want you to teach me how to kiss!”

Edge very nearly let loose a
squeal of surprise, barely managing to stifle it with a cough. If he’d thought
he’d been blushing before, his cheeks now felt like a furnace, burning brightly
to the point he could swear the magic was glowing. “I—” He broke off, staring
straight ahead as he tried to compose himself. He could feel Blue’s gaze on
him, and it certainly wasn’t helping extinguish the heat in his cheekbones.
“W-why?” was all he seemed able to get out.

“Well, there is someone I wish to
ask to the Christmas Formal,” Blue said, speaking slowly, enunciating each word
as if to make certain Edge understood. “And it occurred to me that I have no
practice when it comes to kissing—which simply will not do if I am to be an
adequate date! Therefore, I believe I will need training before I am to
ask—this person—to the Formal!” Blue offered Edge an innocent grin, but Edge
couldn’t help but detect a hint of something else beneath the smile.

“But—” Edge scrambled for an
excuse, but his mind came up blank. He was very defiantly trying to push down
the small part of him that was more than eager to jump on Blue’s offer.

“It’s alright, Edge,” Blue said,
leaning a little closer. He had that smile on his face—a look that reminded
Edge so much of his own brother, yet seemed so out of place on the softer
skeleton. His proximity was sending a number of thoughts through Edge’s mind,
not all of them completely decent. “We don’t have to do this, if that’s not
what you want! I’m certain we can come up with different terms—”

“No!” Edge almost yelled. He
quickly snapped his mouth shut, feeling ready to melt into the carpet below
upon seeing the small grin Blue was giving him. “I—I mean, I don’t mind. I’m
happy to—to teach you how to…” Edge swallowed, “kiss.”

Blue clapped his hands together,
looking delighted. “Excellent! Shall we start now?”

“What?” Edge squeaked, the magic
rising to his cheekbones once again. Blue giggled slightly, covering his mouth
with the back of his hand.

“There’s no need to be nervous,
Edge,” Blue said, placing a reassuring hand on his arm. “I am certain you will
be a wonderful teacher—and I, an excellent student!” Edge kept his gaze
averted, even as Blue cupped a hand under his jaw, gently turning his face.
“Tell me, what do I do first?”

Edge swallowed thickly, finally
lifting his gaze. Blue’s eye-lights were sparkling, excitement swimming within
them. Edge could feel the first signs of warm magic trickling into his mouth,
and he swallowed again, trying to dispel it. “W-well…” his voice came out
strained, and he cleared his throat. “Well—you can start by… by taking their
hands…” Despite having given the instruction, Edge still had to stop himself
from flinching when he felt Blue lacing their fingers together.

“And then?” Blue asked, sweetly,
tilting his head inquisitively.

“Then you…” Edge couldn’t help
it. He looked away again, the deep hue of Blue’s eyes becoming too much for
him. He felt a small hand coming to curl around the back of his neck, drawing
him in slightly.

“Is this right?” Blue asked. They
were so close, Edge could feel the smaller skeleton’s breath ghosting against
his teeth. Not trusting himself with words, he simply nodded. “What about
this?” Blue asked, trailing a single finger over the corner of Edge’s mouth.
Again, Edge nodded, though this time he had to suppress a small whine in the
back of his throat. His breathing stuttered slightly as Blue leaned close,
pressing their teeth together gently. It lasted only a second, but when Blue
drew away, Edge released a small gasp, staring into his glittering eyes,
transfixed. “Was that good?” Blue asked, his voice soft.

“Y-yes,” Edge breathed, surging
forward and pulling Blue into a deep kiss. A single swipe of tongue across
Blue’s teeth, and he was granting Edge entrance. Their combined magic sent
tingles through Edge’s bones, and he looped a hand around the back of Blue’s neck,
pulling him closer. The other hand was still intertwined with one of Blue’s,
and he gave Blue’s fingers a tight squeeze, his soul clenching in his chest as
he felt Blue return it.

When they finally broke apart,
Blue’s cheekbones were alight, but a wide grin was plastered across his face.
“That was excellent teaching, Edge,” he said, eyes sparkling. Edge wasn’t sure
how to respond, and he subconsciously twisted his hands together again. “But, I
think I need a little more training before I’m ready to ask—that person—out on
a date.”

Without warning, Blue pressed
close to Edge once more, enveloping him in another deep kiss. Edge’s gasp of
surprise quickly melted into a soft sigh, and he allowed Blue to tug him closer
by the collar of his shirt, his tongue tracing across every inch of Edge’s
mouth. All too soon though, Blue was drawing away again, and Edge reluctantly
released his hand.

Blue hummed, nodding
contemplatively. “Hmm, yes, those lessons seemed to have worked! I think I’m
ready.” A mischievous grin spread across his face, and Edge’s soul jumped as
Blue took a hold of both his hands, lifting them as he pulled himself into an
upright position, eyes bright. “Edge, will you go to the Christmas Formal with me?”
