  "I… before you leave there is something I want to try…" GIlbert shifted on his feet, his heart racing.

[redlikerosesandwine]

Crimson hued eyes softened, a smile stealing his lips once more.

"Oh...?"

He had a feeling what Gilbert had in mind, and there was no unwillingness in his part, but he wasn't so sure Gilbert could handle this... the idea that he might awaken unpleasant memories was never welcome.

Gilbert’s heart raced and he let out a soft moan. He let out a shaky breath from his nose, pulling back a moment. He swallowed nervously.

[redlikerosesandwine]

Edgar smiled reassuringly, pressing a kiss to his head. 

"You look nervous.  Is...this alright?"

  "I hold you to that promise, and every other promise you have made me…" Gilbert pressed against the blond, kissing him once more. He could hardly wait to see him again. The teen moved his lips eagerly against Edgar’s believing him entirely.

[redlikerosesandwine]

Edgar can't help but smile against his lips, nimble fingers resting on Gilberts hips.  

"Gil..." The name comes out breathless between them, tongue making patterns on his bottom lip.  

Edgar lets one hand trail up to the side of Gilberts face, tilting his head for a better angle.

  Gilbert closed the door, his heart racing as he kissed the blond. “You better not make me regret this… This is your very last chance…” He knew that he probably would give Edgar dozens more chances if it came down to it, the blond meant too much to him.

[redlikerosesandwine]

Edgar couldn't help the big grin that consumed his features, drawing Gilbert close and returning his kiss.

"I won't.  It'll be alright." he vows.

And in his head he reclaims a dozen promises- he's promised to free Gilbert, once he graduates, and the moment he does there will be purchase for a palace- for a family- for his prince to lay his head within his bed and in his home.  

Edgar makes note that he'd better get started.  He has another year to make home their home before Gilbert can return to him-  and bring Lily too.  

"It'll be alright..."

  Gilbert lost all his resolve when he saw how relieved that Edgar was when they embraced. There was no way he could tell the blond he never wanted to see him again.

"I… I can’t…" The virtuoso let out a whimper.

[redlikerosesandwine]

Edgar tried a smile, feeling his eyes sting with tears.  He held Gilbert for a long while before daring to relinquish his hold.  

"If you can trust me, then please trust that I will never take such actions again, Gilbert...I will never lie to you, I will never purposefully hurt another person..."

[redlikerosesandwine]

Gilbert did not move, not at first. He swallowed, biting his lip. “It’s not what I had expected either. I had thought I would be waving goodbye as you graduating… I never thought…” He understood wishing to pretend something had never happened.

Gilbert closed the distance, throwing his arms around Edgar. “I know you are only human… I… It just pains me that this is the end… That I will never see you again after you betrayed me…”

[redlikerosesandwine]

The relief of contact was immediate, arms winding around Gilberts waist, burying his face in his neck. 

"Only if you can't stand the sight of me, love..." He murmured, pressing a kiss to his jaw.  "I don't want this to be the last time I see you..." 

Edgar braced himself for the inevitable rejection- but it had to be said all the same.

"Please know that I never intended to hurt you..."

  "Protect me?! You helped kill six people! You could have told me, you could have told me about it being an accident instead of letting me find out as I did! I might have been more forgiving if you had told me yourself, instead of letting me hear it from that arrogant blow-hard."

Gilbert was trembling at this point. “I told you EVERYTHING, I told you all my secrets, and you obviously did not trust me enough to do the same. Do you have any idea what that is like? Edgar, I would have forgiven you what happened, but that you would not have the decency to tell me, that I can NEVER forgive.”

Tears streaked down the pale teen’s cheeks at this point. “I just wish you had trusted me as much as I trusted you… I wish I meant as much to you as you do to me…”

[redlikerosesandwine]

What the hell was he supposed to say to that...? 

"Gilbert.  It had nothing to do with not being able to trust you..." Edgar frowned, the undeniable desire to wipe his tears away was overwhelming.  But Edgar didn't move.  He knew Gilbert would likely swat his hand away, or flinch away from him...

"I...wanted to pretend it never happened.  I...I never thought about how much it would hurt you..." 

He felt like shit. 

He'd been trying to avoid exactly this.  Hurting Gilbert was the one thing he never wanted. 

He was as bad as those liars he so condemned.  

"I made a mistake, Gilbert...I'm only human..." Edgar sighed, daring a single step forward.  "I don't expect you to forgive...but this wasn't exactly the goodbye I was hoping for either..."

  Tears welled in Gilbert’s eyes, utter betrayal, that was what Edgar had done. He had utterly betrayed him. “You don’t know what to say? You helped kill six people and you don’t know what to say?” The pale teen snarled.

How could he have trusted Edgar? How could he have trusted a man who had helped to harm and kill others?

"How about first explaining, what the HELL went through your mind when I told you about what my father did to me, when I told you how much I HATE people who help harm befall others, even those who deserve it?”

The whole time Gilbert does not raise his voice, does not change his expression. He stays utterly emotionless save the change of tone in his voice when he stressed words.

[redlikerosesandwine]

Edgar shifted, floundering for words- but all that came out was a pathetic smile.

"I thought...I could protect you." He admitted.  "It...It was stupid.  I thought...I thought that it wasn't the same.  But I guess...it is...It...It wasn't as though I wanted to hurt anyone...especially...especially not you, Gilbert..." 

He knows it won't be enough.  he feels it in the deepest cavity of his chest.  An Ache that says Gilbert will never look at him with admiration or love.  Never sing for him.

Probably never so much as speak to him again.

"If I could have changed it after the fact...I would have.  It was stupid...but I suppose that's what they mean when they say hindsight is 20/20..." 

[redlikerosesandwine]

He's wearing apologies in his eyes, and they're spilling over his lips, and they ought to be painting the ground in their pathetic colors- but for all the apologies he wishes would come out, not a single sound is made.

"Gilbert..." 

Gilbert is standing in front of him, and he's so sorry.

"I..."

He waits to be struck, to be screamed at- to be reprimanded for his betrayal-  anything.  Edgar is prepared for the worst.

Scarlet eyes try to convey it all.  He deserves whatever Gilbert throws at him- but to face the worst here is exactly that: the worst. 

Edgar know's he's going to lose this battle.  He'll lose Gilbert.

Edgar sets down his bag, watching Gilbert in his doorway. 

"I don't what to say."

Edgar has always had descent health, and after the very first time catching the flu, he decided he never wanted it ever again.  As a result, he avoids illness like nuts.

Send ♕ for a CHILDHOOD headcanon.

Edgars parents weren’t very attentive to him-  It’s not like they were bad or anything, just that they had better things to do than give attention to their son.  As a result, Edgar is rather clingy when someone shows him attention.

Send ✿ for a HAPPINESS headcanon.

Send ♆ for a BODY headcanon.

Edgar is very ticklish.

Send ϡ for a MENTAL STATE headcanon.

As Edgar grew older, he realized the change that his uncle Aleister underwent.  He became viciously aware of his families mental illness.  He’s horrified to think that one day, he might be just like his Uncle.  Despite that he adores Aleister, as the only family member who truly cared for him, he is not oblivious to the awful things his uncle is involved in.

Send ღ for a LOVE/SEXUALITY headcanon.

Edgar is a hopeless romantic, and a romanticist.  He’ll shower his loved ones with cheesy (awful) poems, and serenades.  Despite how awful they might (or might now, at times) be.

Send † for a RELIGION headcanon.

Despite being raised in devout christian household, Edgar stopped believing in a god at a young age.

Send ✄ for a PET PEEVE headcanon

Edgars only real pet peeve is probably with people who tell white lies.  Honestly, for someone carrying such a heavy weighted lie/secret upon their shoulders, he sure does call the kettle black.

Send ☂ for a FOOD headcanon.

Edgar is a wonderful cook- a talent he picked up from one of the maids that used to look after him as a child.  He can make a few very complex dishes, and a wide variety of the less complex.
