ryuutchi's prompt "Carlisle/Edward: Victorian morals" @ the uncanon drabble-a-thon. I won't even lie, I only did this because when I saw an Edward-related prompt about Victorian times I automatically thought of Oscar Wilde and knew I had to write something that could have this title, LOL. I kind of wish I'd been able to do something a little more cracky with blatant references to The Importance of Being Earnest because it's such a friggin funny play, but I'm not that clever.
After the first seven years of pretending to be Carlisle's brother, he is still getting used to introducing himself as Edward Cullen. Dishonesty was never in Edward Anthony Masen's nature. His father, an aristocrat from an age of rigid decency, had taught him better.
"What age are you passing for this time?" he asks as they look over their new home they just moved to.
"Twenty-six," Carlisle answers.
"I cannot fathom how tired you must be of pretending to be something you're not everywhere you live. I am already getting weary of it."
He smiles. "I suppose after the things I've seen in my very many years, I simply don't believe anyone is quite what they claim to be. Humans gravitate toward the normal, what is not upsetting, and they see what they want to see. They cover up a world of poverty with sophistication and manners and let people like me do the healing out of sight. And they don't notice vampires until it makes a good myth to explain their infidelity."
Edward laughs. "True. I would just think...it must get lonely staying hidden."
Carlisle looks closely at him, some subtle warmth in his eyes, then turns away as he replies softly. "Well...not anymore."

Summary: Bella teaches Jacob a lesson in maturity while they're carving pumpkins with their friends.
Notes: Some silly and maybe slightly OOC pseudo-fluff that I did as an entry for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sortofbeautiful's anonymous drabble contest, which had a 500-word limit. (At the time it was still seasonally appropriate to write fic about Halloween, haha.)
At a table in Embry’s yard where he, Quil, Jared, Kim, and Paul were all carving pumpkins with music playing and several lanterns lit, two pumpkins were still sitting untouched.
“I thought Jake would be here by now,” Jared said.
“Well, he had to get Bella first,” Quil said. “They’re probably doing it or something.”
When Jacob and Bella finally showed up, Bella greeted everyone nicely, but they quickly saw she seemed to be giving Jacob the cold shoulder.
“Think you guessed wrong, Quil,” Embry muttered, making him laugh. Bella and Jacob looked confused, missing what was funny.
“Somebody change the music,” Paul grumbled, stabbing an eye into his pumpkin. “I’ve been burned out on Gnarls Barkley for like a year.”
Jacob pointed to Embry’s CD binder on the table. “Could you hand me that, Bell?”
Unobliging, she just leaned back to give him more room to reach for it himself, which he did sighing heavily.
“Uh...Trouble?” Embry asked subtly, looking at them.
Jacob grinned, flipping through the music selection. “I’m getting the silent treatment until I repent or something.”
“What happened?” Kim asked.
Bella explained, “He came into my window wearing a ski mask. With a big knife.”
Quil and Jared howled with laughter.
“I thought it would be funny,” Jacob said, and couldn’t help but smile a little. “And it was. You shrieked.”
She shoved him hard in the side as the others kept laughing.
“I said I’m sorry. Seriously, I didn’t know it would freak you out that much.”
Bella just shook her head, then looked at her pumpkin thoughtfully. “I can’t decide what to do...”
“Make it scary,” Jared said.
“You will piss yourself when you see mine,” Jacob promised.
He laughed doubtfully. “What’s it going to be?”
“Your face.”
As the boys snickered, Bella and Kim exchanged an annoyed look.
“Ah, yes,” Jacob said, finding a good CD.
“I’ll get it,” Bella offered, finally looking more forgiving as she held out her hand.
He smiled and kissed her cheek, handing her the disc. Embry and Quil started talking about something that had happened at school while she went to change the CD. Then Jacob didn’t see it when she stumbled over a rake on the ground and fell.
“Woah!” said Paul. Everyone sat up straight to look over at her while Jacob turned.
“You okay, honey?” he called.
She didn’t answer.
In fact, she still hadn’t moved.
Everyone frowned. “Shit,” Jacob muttered, getting up and rushing over to her.
Her eyes were closed. Could she have hit her head landing on a rock? He shook her, saying loudly, “Bella?”
For another moment she lay still. Then her mouth curved into a smile; she opened her eyes, looked up at him, and started laughing.
“Ha!” said Embry. “Payback!"
“Jesus!” Jacob said as she sat up. “That? Not funny!”
“Actually, it is pretty fucking funny,” Quil said through his uncontrollable laughing.
Jacob stood up and smacked him across the back of the head, which only made everyone laugh more. Then he finally smiled again and helped Bella off the ground, picked her up briefly to kiss her while she kept giggling a little against his lips.

Carlisle had some wise words.
