@galladrabbles for bones š©»
-
The nurse told him he had a visitor.
Mickeyās eyes were swollen shut. He couldnāt see. He broke into a cold sweat because who else would come but Terry? He probably wanted to finish the job.
The door closed. Footsteps approached his bed. Curtains slid open.
Mickeyās heart hammered. āā¦Dad?ā
Was too bad so many of his bones were fucking broken. He couldnāt even run away like the pussy he was.
Something touched his fingers, and he flinched. Before he could pull away, his hand was enveloped by two painfully familiar ones.
āNo, Mick,ā a thick voice responded, āitās me.ā

Cedric sighed as he sat on his stool, resting his head in his hands. āAnother spell fumbledā¦ā he thought to himself. His recent failed attempt at impressing the royal family reminds him of a time heād rather forgetā¦a time he wishes he couldāve prevented.
Looking up at the potion heās brewing, he catches a glimpse of his reflection in a jar. His bangs catch his eyeā¦the silver color being a permanent reminder of his failure, and the years of ridicule he experienced for it.
Dropping his head back into his hands, he frees the lump thatās been building in his throat, his tears falling onto his spellbook.
āCedric?ā you say, peeking into his lab, worried for the sorcerer after hearing about what happened from Princess Sofia.
āEh? Oh, [Y/N]...g-go away, you have work around the castle to do, don't you?ā
He turns his body away from you, hiding his misery beneath a cold exterior. Despite his growing fondness of you, he just can't seem to bring himself to be vulnerable with you.
āYou're crying, are you okay?ā
You walk closer to the sorcerer, as he sighs in defeat at you seeing his tear stained face.
āY-Yes, it's nothingā¦it's just a side effect from the griffin feathers Iām using in this spellā¦ā
He tries to sit upright, to pretend heās fine like he has for so many people.
Unlike them, though, you can see right through him.
āCedricā¦I know sad tears when I see themā¦is it about what happened in front of Roland?ā
Giving into your kindness, he reluctantly answers.
ā...Yes, it isā¦I can't seem to hold it together in front of himā¦I always mess things up just when everyone's counting on me to do it rightā¦ā
He glances up at his reflection in the jar again, face full of sorrow.
āItās alright Cedricā¦me and Princess Sofia can vouch for you, we know you're an amazing sorcererā¦ā
You kneel beside him, hugging him in an attempt to comfort him, though he continues to stare at his reflection.
āYou don't understand, [Y/N]... everything I do is a failureā¦everything Iāve done is, tooā¦ā
āCedric, is there something more to it? You don't have to tell me if you don't want toā¦ā
Opening up to you, he tells you about what happened back in his childhood and what he did to his sister, Cordelia's, hair. He tells you about how, ever since then, everyone belittled and made fun of him. How he started to believe themā¦
āCedricā¦ā
āI have a reminder on my head of what happened now, it seems no one will ever forget what happenedā¦ā
āButā¦it's a reminder of all youāve been through, tooā¦ā
āHm?ā
Looking up at you expectantly and pleadingly, you sigh and hold his cheek in your palm, gaining a bit of a flustered reaction from the sorcerer.
āYou endured all that bullying, all that ridiculeā¦and yet, here you areā¦Royal Sorcerer of Enchanciaā¦don't you think that, if you really were a terrible sorcerer, they would kick you out?ā
āHmā¦I suppose soā¦but what if it's all because of my father? They expect me to be just like himā¦ā
āThey could have hired Cordelia, Cedric, but they chose youā¦you also have me and Sofia, we believe in youā¦if you really were horrible, you wouldn't have any of thisā¦ā
āI suppose you're rightā¦ā
Leaning into your hand, he blushes, avoiding eye contact.
āThank youā¦for giving me that, um, pep talkā¦of sorts.ā
āIt's no problem, Cedric. That's what friends are forā¦ā
Wincing a bit at the casual friend-zone, he pulls away from you, putting on a stern, yet flustered face.
āYes, yes, now, um, run off. I haveā¦potions to brew and such.ā
You giggle as you stand back, giving him a peck on the lips and leaving out the door.
āAlright, Cedric, you can do it! I believe in your magic ability!ā
As you leave, he sighs contently, turning back to his work with the new-found confidence that youāve given him in, not only his magic, but his chance with you.
IM SORRY IF ITS SHORT I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYSSSS!!!
