Ed whispering to Stede that he really has to go but they’re nowhere near a bathroom so Stede starts trying to help and reassure him, telling him to hold himself and give a squeeze if he has to but if it starts to hurt he can just let go and they’ll clean him up as soon as they can. Ed getting so squirmy and desperate that he can’t undo his trousers so Stede has to unbutton them and slide them down, then help him aim. Or, Ed doesn’t make it and has an accident leaning against Stede whispering and whimpering as his pants get wet and the pressure finally goes away 🫶
Ed typically is a guy who will just go when he wants- but, around Stede, he wants to show he can hold it until they're at a proper place to relieve himself
And, at times, that's hard! Which has Ed's brows knitted in concentration as he is focusing on trying to keep it all in, which has little whines and noises escaping his mouth- making it very obvious to Stede just what's wrong with the pirate
By the end, Ed is practically waddling, one foot shuffling ahead of the other as his bladder aches, threatening to spill with one false move- Stede is right there, reassuring Ed he's doing a good job, he's almost there!
Usually that juvenile praise would have Ed red in the face but, right now, he needs it to keep his confidence up or else he's spill!
They finally get to where Ed can go but, he's so desperate that the simple motion of untying and unbuckling his leather pants is far too tedious. Having him look to Stede, those baby brown eyes just, glittering with utter fear of an accident.
So, Stede helps, gently brushing Ed's hands to thr side as he makes quick work of what's keeping Ed bounded.
And the instant he's pulled out, urine starts to splatter against the ground/reciprocal-
If he doesn't make it and has an accident, the end is the same-
Ed melts against Stede, his Adam's apple bobbing as he groans at the utter relief he's feeling. His body feels like jelly, so shaky from the emptiness his body now has.
And Stede hums, kissing Ed's cheek♡
