habits of my heart | o

[EDMUND.]

Eddie knew that not everybody would like him, and he ought to feel comfortable with that very fact. He wasn’t a people pleaser like some people he knew - eyes flitted briefly towards Freddie - nor did he tend to come across as very open and personable. No wonder people struggled to get to know the deeply reserved man. Yet, he couldn’t help but falter slightly at Rory’s apparent aggravation towards him. Sure, his order was perhaps somewhat curt - he should’ve taken into consideration that Rory was a bull-headed teenager, after all, with a knack of defying authority  - but it had come out of genuine concern. Eddie didn’t treat all people with the same level of concern.

Eddie’s inscrutable gaze watched Rory’s loathing glare, only lowering his hand once Rory began to stumble back onto his feet. ❝ Suppose I should be heading to bed, yeah? ❞ Eddie chose not to reply, slowly leaning back against the counter with folded arms as eyes followed the teenager carefully. Rory would never listen to him, would he? Brows knitted together briefly as Rory flicked him off before stumbling out of the kitchen. ❝ Rory- ❞ Ed called out, pausing with a stern gaze before warning, ❝ You need to watch what you drink. ❞ Only Ed would manage to exacerbate tensions in such a way.

Waiting for Rory to leave the room, Eddie finally turned his head to peer over towards his cousin. Oh, he bet that Freddie had more than enough to say about Rory’s perception of Ed, but he didn’t want to hear it. Instead, he tipped his head towards where Rory had just left before asking, ❝ Keep an eye on him, a’right? He listens to you. ❞
