Title: What’s Wrong? Rating: PG Word Count: 146 Pairing: Gary/Raoul – Team Moustache Curtains Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: They say bad things happen for a reason. Gary is worried about Raoul, and tells Cythera. Breakeven part 12, set post-Lioness Rampant.
When she asks him what’s wrong, Gary manages to hold up his façade, silently clenching the blanket on his bed in his fists until
“What is it?” Cythera asks desperately, watching as different expressions cross Gary’s face, and he, shuddering, surrenders to her. He lets her enfold her in her arms as he whispers, “It’s Raoul, he’s been getting worse,” so brokenly that Cythera doesn’t have to ask what exactly is worse.
“Oh, no.”
“I don’t think he’s alright,” Gary admits to her soft embrace, feeling her arms tighten around him at the thought.
“…No, he isn’t.” he corrects himself harshly, “And I should have stopped him, should have helped him, never should have let him touch another bottle of wine…”
“…How long?” she asks him then, inadvertently pulling him from his guilt, and the truth aches as he speaks it to the room.
“Coronation Day.”
