Summary
The hand halting in his hair came without sound, and like it the time waiting for Stede to reply was deafening. He could hear, in the man’s voice, a confusion when he replied, “What is it darling?” Stede didn’t know, didn’t yet understand the depth of what Ed would confess. Stede couldn’t feel the gnawing ache he felt. The lump, which sat solid and heavy in the pit of Ed's stomach, felt as though it had begun to hatch. Limbs, almost like tentacles, began to emerge from the pit of it.
-----
When Stede returns, things settle back into something close to what normal used to be. A bit different, but everyone is happy. Except, Ed can't ignore the way the guilt over Lucius' death eats at him. He has to tell Stede, but how could he ask the man he loved to forgive him for such a thing?
