And, for a minute, Edmund actually thought that whatever this conversation was between family members, that it was actually finally becoming something amusing. Alfie was smiling, Freddie was grinning; hell, even William started chuckling. Eddie's comment was well received at first, until he smugly managed to twist the story onto Fred. Freddie punched his shoulder, the corners of his lips threatening to tug upwards ever-so-slightly with amusement.
❝ Oh yeah? Well fuck you too! ❞ Alfie exclaimed with a cackle, stepping forwards and shoving Freddie aside. ❝ I knew that there was somethin' snaky about you. ❞ He continued to kid. Eddie slowly shook his head to himself; it seemed that the conversation was eventually dying down, as much as it was pretty amusing to find some joy in just getting to mess about for a moment. Eddie was always too serious nowadays, too pensive and no-nonsense to ever take things lightly. Perhaps he ought to lighten up a little.
And then, Freddie gave him the only reason he needed to not be so damn stupid.
Freddie playfully tried to put Eddie into a headlock, Eddie hissing to himself as he attempted to shove Fred away. But, he had a firm hold of him, Ed swiftly rolling his eyes to himself lightheartedly. ❝ Snitches get stitches, ❞ Fred began, ❝ You've already got 'em. ❞ Eddie felt his heart stop. A moment later, he shoved Freddie away sharply as Fred let go, Ed walking away, teeth clenched and fists curling as they remained concealed within the pockets of his jacket. ❝ Yikes. ❞ Alfie pulled a face, shifting his eyes as he looked around. William stood still, somewhat perplexed by Ed's sudden shift in mood.
Within this patrol, only Alfie knew what'd happened. What'd caused Ed to return with stitches across the side of his head and chronic spluttering cough. As if he was coughing out water. Maybe snitches did get stitches; Ed of all people knew that to be a fact. He was tortured, nearly drowned for what he did to keep his best friend safe. But, people didn't know. People didn't understand the anger, the hurt, the humiliation. Anger bubbled within, Ed suddenly turning back to the three others and powering forwards towards Fred until he stopped dead in front of him. Eyes as sharp as a blade staring intensely into Fred's gaze, face twitching with an inexplicable resentment, before he raised a finger to point at Freddie.
He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, so he wagged his finger slowly, sucking in a long breath. Only the sting of shame and guilt. ❝ Hey, Moray- ❞ Alfie intervened, sobering up quickly as he stepped forwards and lay a heavy hand on Ed's shoulder, coaxing him away. ❝ It wasn't fuckin' intentional. ❞ Eddie took a step back, frozen, before wordlessly he turned and began to walk onward, nostrils flaring whilst his hands fumbled about for his cigarette and lighter. Alfie took that moment to look towards Fred, pressing his lips together to form a thin line before pointing out, ❝ Too soon, man. ❞
