bard/knight snippet word vomit

“i have misstepped and trampled on your heart, and your life, and your… your pain so cruelly, my lord. steve.”

eddie falters, feeling the cold of the rain seep into his bones, but even the pouring stream is not enough to kill the fire within, this burning need for steve to know, the scalding sensation of those eyes trained so intensely on him.

“i have not the words to express the regret i am feeling, nor the guilt, at having wronged you so. i do not ask forgiveness, i— i can only hope that you believe me when i say that i am… deeply and endlessly sorry.“

eddie dares not ask for forgiveness. and he dares not hope to find it in lord harrington’s eyes that seem to soften just a fraction even as the rain intensifies and plasters the locks of his hair to his forehead. water drips from them to enticingly, all but inviting eddie to cradle his cheek so tenderly, and feel the wetness on his skin with a man who wandered deserts for weeks.

he dares not, not anymore. and yet the yearning in his heart still betrays him once more, making him want — for the real steve this time, not for the notion of grandeur and epic romance.

and it is more intense, thus, than the first time, leaving him with shaking hands and stuttering heart as the rain drenches them so thoroughly as though attempting to wash away their history and provide a fresh start.

and it grows in intensity when the lord swallows thickly before his eyes flicker down to eddie’s lips for just the fraction of a second. but it is a second that will cost him a lifetime, he knows, for eddie stops breathing now.

#steddie #bard/knight #and what if i make them kiss in the rain? what if i make this as dramatic as possible? what if i crank up the yearning because the bard #sees now. sees how pretty his love is. how beautiful he can be. how wonderful is smile and how kind his eyes.#when it's not just about the bravery and the imagine heroism he can weave stories around. when it's only about the man he wants to #weave his *life* around. you know?? what then huh? what about it? what if steve just keeps looking at eddie like that. doesnt look away #because *seeing* goes both ways when it's done right. when they have the chance to do it right #bard!eddie munson #knight!steve harrington
