offer me peace ;; ledeuill
gellert had left no room for others to believe in his good intentions , he took & broke . everyone BUT albus knew the limits he’s more than ready to test to get what he wants ; most wizards believe in him and their number GROWS every day , that’s why the ministry is terrified of gellert grindelwald . & of albus dumbledore , their powers mingled is a dangerous thing , enough to bring chaos . at least that’s what they thought , as he stares down at gellert’s mismatched eyes ( that QUICKLY change in emotion ) , he feels as if he’s ruined a perfectly civil conversation the white haired wizard was planning to have .
maybe all he wanted was a moment of peace ? with you ? you’re not his painkiller . stop that .
redness fades from gellert’s features . first time albus had seen his blush , a memory still FRESH in albus’ mind . he also remembers how surprised he was to have a cold boy like gellert blush over something so small & innocent . a glimpse of a scared man beneath the ICE that surrounded gellert . albus , too , is past being a drama queen as gellert calls it . he clenches his jaw slightly and pulls a chair to sit beside gellert instead , body slightly leaned forward , faint crease between the brows . ❝ you’re not aware of how SERIOUS this is , are you ? ❞ something swims under albus’ stern gaze , something awfully similar to the shy boy he used to be . worried ── SCARED just as gellert was . ❝ if they catch you . . . ❞ he’s regretting each word that escapes his mouth , but the aggressive , quiet hiss in his words never leave . ❝ they won’t let go of you this time . ❞
chair next to him is pulled, table between them disappearing, like a distance albus decided to leave behind. it relaxes him, to have his friend at his side, it doesn’t feel like a fight between them anymore, it feels more like two friends sharing something. finally. glance is given, pale fingers turning spoon in coffee, waiting for a word, for something to give a tone to what is to follow. but it’s what he sees in albus’ eyes that gives him a hint, that lets him know what is going on through his friend’s mind. friend, funny word that one, one he doesn’t like to use when thinking about albus ;; albus is the end && the beginning, albus is love && his whole soul && conscience. friend is so reductive to the life changing experience albus was, albus is.
he sees worry, a bone deep fear for him, for his safety, for his life. and it satisfies him, he’s been silently begging for that love, for that care for so long now, it’s heart warming to feel it. finally.
casual breath is blown upon coffee, quick sip is taken before he sighs, face turning to stare at the beautiful soul at his side. ❛ they can catch me but they’ll never be able to hold me. ❜ and his words are coated with steel, he is certain of his power, certain of their capacities, he knows himself, knows enough of his mindset to know what will stop him. ❛ if they want to stop me, they’ll have to kill me. ❜ peace has been made with death, it will free him one way or another, gellert won’t stand defeat, he would prefer to die than to know defeat. ❛ i’m very aware of the danger i’m facing, albus. but i don’t expect success to come without a price. ❜ && he knows he’s paid the highest there is already, he’s lost the one he loves, there’s no higher price.
