    Summary

    Edamura's final act is, in many ways, his simplest. He disappears. AU where Edamura's speech at the end was earnest.

    Salazar reaches over to push the shirt up another few inches before he can decide it’s none of his business.

    “Jesus Christ,” he breathes.

    Rust, all the way up: a tear of it across the kid’s chest, under off-white gauze that should have been changed when Edamura showed up on his doorstep last night if not the day before that. He does quick math in his head: a flight from fuck knows where, a day on either side to go from whatever did this to sitting on a plane to Los Angeles.

    A hand wraps around his wrist loosely. When he looks up, Edamura is staring at him, nothing in his eyes but that same tired apology.

    “Are you in danger?” Salazar asks.

    Edamura smiles wryly. “No. I wouldn’t have brought that to you two.”

    Summary

    “I told you,” Dedue says, “five years ago, that you fit in here. That you weren’t pretending. Did you think I was lying? You don’t have to presume anything, Ashe. You are still…” He trails off. What is Ashe to him that Dedue can say out loud, into the stillness of the night as Ashe gazes up at him with luminous eyes? How can he say you are everything without handing his heart over completely?

    Summary

    “I’m sure,” Dedue says amiably. His hands are warm and calloused when they brush over Ashe’s as he takes the flowers, and his fingers tingle. “Would you like a snack before you go?”

    “I… I guess I wouldn’t complain,” Ashe says, and Dedue smiles at him. Felix gives them a deadpan look and Lysithea grins from ear to ear, and Ashe thinks, Yeah, I’m fucked.

    (Five times Ashe plays wingman for Sylvain, and one time he takes the initiative for himself.)
