tw. brief mention of past injuries & violence
Edmund’s thoughts were briefly interrupted by the arrival of Rory, the younger man joining beside him. If it weren’t for the very next question from the untroubled teenager, Eddie probably would’ve responded with little more than a huff. But, Rory asked if Ed was all right, and the older man suddenly found himself standing more rigidly. Features barely moved, nothing more than the slightest of twitches. Rory was a smart boy, and an observant one at that. It wasn’t easy to take much notice of Eddie’s emotions, especially ones which he’d so readily suppress because emotion was weakness.
Yet, here Rory was, asking if Ed was okay. It could’ve been mere coincidence, purely to check up on how Ed’s day was going, but Rory wasn’t the type to want to engage in mindless small talk, especially with the Captain of all people. He must’ve seen the briefest look of horror in Ed’s eyes, the way his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down from swallowing hard. His head felt as if it were throbbing, the memories of trauma as painful as the head injury was itself. He could remember the cracking sound of his head being thrust against the ice. The choking sensation when his head was held below glacial waters.
❝ Yeah- ❞ Ed lied smoothly, voice grumbling as he then cleared his throat, swiftly itching the side of his nose. He’d never be able to step on ice again, as long as the memory of his near-death experience lingered. He had his mysteriously stitched up head to prove it and, whilst he refused to let anybody else in on what had happened for him to sustain such injury, Eddie knew that the wound had been noticed around the lodge. ❝ Waiting for somebody to inevitably fall and hurt themselves. ❞ He commented just as Elwin and Freddie seemingly got into a sprawl on the ice.
Ed nodded towards the two boys tussling, remarking, ❝ And there it is. ❞ He watched as Alfie held onto Eddie’s wife, the two of them gliding unsteadily across the ice. ❝ Oh, fuck you Freddie! ❞ Alfie exclaimed, adding, ❝ By the time Elwin’s done with ya I will have shuffled close enough to give your ass a good beating, too! ❞ And then, Emery joined his side, Alfie resting his hand on the small of her back before pointing out, ❝ Nah, we got this! ❞ He was overly confident, despite his mishap merely moments ago. ❝ If you fall, sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up! ❞ He announced with a playful nod.
❝ I ain’t worried about you- ❞ Tommy corrected snappily as he called across the ice. ❝ Like Hell does I give a shit about you! I’m worried about Elwin- if he hurts himself then who the fuck is gonna play medic when I snap your measly arms in two?! ❞ Ed quirked a brow; Tom had a point, and it wasn’t like he’d stop him if he was fighting Fred of all people. Between Ed and Tom, they both knew that Fred had it coming.
Elwin neared Ed, Eddie bunching his brows up at the lighthearted comment. Afraid of falling? Not quite. ❝ Consider me the ground marshal. ❞ He chose to evade the question entirely, shifting on his spot in the snow near the lake.
