Fics like to the bone

“You’ve been hurting this whole time, and you didn’t think to say anything? Bloody hell, Edwin, I’ve been offering to help at every turn - why wouldn’t you tell us? Why wouldn’t you tell me?” Edwin stares at the floor, clutching the fabric of his pants like a lifeline, his fingers flexing minutely. “I thought it would fade. I believed I could handle it on my own, and I still-” “On your own? That’s bollocks. I’m sorry, but it is. I can’t believe you would even attempt to suffer through this by yourself.” “It is my pain to bear,” Edwin snaps, and Charles flinches. “I still intend to handle this on my own. It was never my intention to burden you any further, and I request that you do not try to interfere.” (Wherein Edwin can still feel pain after his encounter with Esther, Charles is just trying to help, and the only way out is through.)
