— henry and ida squealed with laughter before they both eventually ran out of the lounge area. freddie couldn’t help but laugh softly to himself at his two young cousins, shaking his head to himself. it was only when the sound of footsteps faded that eddie turned to look over towards him. “the fuck was that about?” and if looks could kill, he was sure he would already be dead by that piercing gaze of ed’s.
the kind look that had once been set on fred’s features dissolved into nothing more than cold annoyance. “the hell are you on about, now?” he asked, irritation lacing his words. he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "what did i do now?" what, he couldn’t even play a game with the kids without ed getting pissed off at him? it dawned on him only shortly after he asked that simple question. “oh.” he huffed a short breath, smirking. “i see; you think i’m making you look bad, is that it?”
breathing a sharp sigh, he looked away from ed. instead looking over at alf as if he wanted the man to join his side on this one. after all, edmund was being ridiculous. he was being paranoid. paranoid for no fucking reason. "you know, maybe i'm not the one making you look bad." the statement was accusatory as his gaze went to rest on edmund again, hands falling down to his side.
“if you’re so tired of looking like the asshole, ed, maybe you should stop being the asshole.”
those were his words of wisdom, paired with an icy gaze meeting ed’s own piercing eyes. whatever wedge between them only seemed to be driven in further- and for what reason? his gaze lingered before he turned his head, calling out lightheartedly, "ready or not, here i come!" and with that, he turned to leave the room.
