It was Blake who had strided over, slipping her rings - Stirling heirlooms - off of her finger. So, here came the inevitable; Eddie was silent as he stared at her, gaze stoic and hollow whilst she took his hand to place the rings in. And then, came the hardest hit of all. She didn’t want him around his own children, not without close supervision. He wanted to argue that this was utterly unreasonable, argue relentlessly for those two children because they were his number one priority in life.
But, he was silent, soft blues watching Blake carefully as she continued to talk. The unborn one too, if he was even able to meet his future child. He slowly lowered his hand again as he pocketed the rings, jaw clenching so tightly that muscles twitched in his face. The things he loved the most would be the things that hurt the worst when he lost them. His beautiful children. He said nothing as Blake continued to talk, features hard and icy, but he knew with certainty that he wasn’t letting anyone stand in the way between him and his little ones, not even their own mother.
Eyes narrowed slowly at Blake as she began to speak of divorce. They were no longer married. As she turned and walked away, eyes burned with an apparent hatred. As if looks could kill. Slowly, he turned to look back towards the fireplace, head shaking slowly to himself before he took another sip of his drink. They could break up, they could argue tirelessly, hell she could do anything to him but God forbid anybody tell Edmund Stirling-Moray what he could and what he couldn’t do. Nobody would get in the way of him and his children.
❝ It’s not the end of the world. ❞ A voice that he did not want to hear trying to console him spoke, Ed sucking in a deep breath before looking over towards Freddie, frown riddling his features sternly. As if he was trying his hardest to hold himself together. ❝ Who said it was? ❞ He questioned with a very subtle wobble in his voice, head nodding slowly before looking back at the fire again. He shouldn’t have reacted so defensively, especially since this was probably one of the only times Fred had shown an ounce of decency towards him.
But, Eddie wasn’t done there. Slightly parted lips began to slowly twitch into a smile - a look so unfamiliar on his features - before he huffed a short breath of vacant laughter. And then, again, he turned to look back at Freddie, glass in his grasp tipping towards the younger Stirling before Ed asked curtly, ❝ How are you so sure about that? Do you even know what commitment feels like or is this just another joke to you? Because, I am not interested in your games right now, Frederick. ❞ Voice raised ever-so-slightly.
He hated to admit to himself that perhaps it did feel like the end of the world. But, Eddie shouldn’t have been surprised by this. Men like them could never be loved.
