Impatient

Gnarly Eddy X GN!Reader

In which you've got a hot date.

"Eddddddddddy~" Your voice chimed along with the bell over the door as you pushed your entire weight into it, swinging into Naut Couture, "Hey hey, are you on lunch break yet?" You pestered, swinging on the open door's hinges.

Eddy gave a top heavy glance to the door, shell falling over his eyes as his head swung, "It's only been like... 5 minutes..." He replied, pushing his headgear back into place as he made his way to the counter.

"I knoooooow but-" You whined a protest, shambling across the store and flopping over the counter, "You've been working forEVer." You pouted patting at the counter.

Eddy just hummed a response as he pulled a hat box off a high shelf, opened it, and placed the headgear atop your head. "Forever, at my wages, I think that'd run Nails outta business..."

You pushed the slightly too large for you hat up and huffed, pushing off the counter enough to look at the nautilus.

"Or would I not be payed hourly for working from the beginning of time till now? Is it yearly?" He adjusted the for inklings hat on your head as you grumbled at his continued bit, suppressing laughter in order not to break your current minor frustration.

Just as you were about to go back into whining protest, Eddy's aforementioned Boss, Nails, came out of the back of the store and hopped into his cushioned little seat. Before he could greet you, you flung to his chair and pleaded.

"Nails, can you pleeeeeease let Eddy out on break early just this once??"

Nails, use to your desire to pull his only employee from work, chuckled, "What's the rush for? He's only got 30 more minutes."

"That's too looooooong." You sunk to the floor dramatically. Nails continued to laugh at your show, Eddy slipped his shell over his eyes on purpose this time.

"Seriously, where's the fire, superstar? Hot date planned today?"

"Ah-" Eddy started, and was quickly stopped by you.

"YES actually!" You sprung from your lounging pose on the floor, causing the hat Eddy had placed upon your head to rocket into the air with the force, "Sense he absolutely HAS to work during Splatfest tonight Eddy said he was taking me somewhere special for lunch today, but won't say where, and I'm dying to go."

"Oh, I see." Nails slid his sunglasses down just to cast a seemingly knowing glace at Eddy, who avoided his eyes by faking busy work at the counter.

"So PLEASE can you let him off just a little early this time, Nails, pretty please?" You pleaded, popping the watery big eyes for extra effect.

"Well..." Nails seemed to finally consider you plea, just for Eddy to interject, reading a stretched out tendril to take the hat from your head.

"It's by reservation, getting off early would just mean waiting around before we can even go..."

"Reservation? Pulling out all the stops, huh?" Nails smirked, making Eddy adjust his shell once more to avoid his gaze, a flush to his cheeks.

You quickly ran through all local restaurants that were by reservation only in a desperate attempt to finally nail the location of this top secret date, but alas, there were too many too pick from, and all feeling far too fancy for Eddy's usual energy, and price range.

A new hat found itself on your head, "Don't think too hard about it. You'll like it, trust me." Eddy smiled at you, and your face warmed ever so slightly.

You gave a soft pout, "Fine..." You took the hat off and leaned on the counter, spinning it on your finger, "Do they have good desserts? And drinks, just fountain sodas or-"

This time the hat covered your face in and effort to silence you, Eddy's lips instead planting on your head, "You'll like it. Promise." He repeated.

Pushing the third hat of the day from your face to your head, you lookup at at Eddy as he leaned over you from the other side of the counter. You leaned up, meeting his lips with your own for only a moment before pushing yourself up, placing both hats where they go, and meandering back toward the door.

"Alright, alright, but I will NOT be hearing any 'just let me finish stock' when I get back to pick you up today, got it?"

Eddy chuckled, "Got it. See you in 30.."

He would, in fact, see you much sooner than in 30.
