Summary
“Why the fuck are you here,” Blackbeard growls, bored and dangerous, slanting a glare at Stede.
Stede’s face does a funny little wobble, but he takes a breath and rights himself. “Well. I came to apologize, for leaving you. Not showing up, that night. I should never…” he trails off, clears his throat. “It was badly done of me. It didn’t take me long to figure out what an idiot I’d been, but…it also took me far too long.”
He pauses, takes a step towards (Edward) Blackbeard. “I love you, and I should never have left.”
Edward (Blackbeard) reels.
A gut wound would have been kinder. He is buffeted by a maelstrom of emotions: hurt and anger and hope and more that he can’t name. He digs his fingers hard into the empty shelf in front of him, stripped of its books and knickknacks and frippery because Stede was gone and Edward hadn’t been able to hold it together for one more minute on a ship so full of his presence.
