I can count the days I was not afraid (Dimidue FE3H)

Dimitri presses the palm of his hand roughly against his damaged eye, his ragged nails digging into the eyepatch. "How can you even look at me?"

That's all Dedue does lately is look at him. He spends his days staring at the shadow of a man whom he loves more than he can ever explain, but he can't speak those words, especially not now

It has been five years since Dedue last saw Dimitri, five years of pain, of grief, of longing. Finally, they have been reunited, but Dimitri is cold and distant to Dedue-to everyone. When the prince goes into heat, Dedue finds out why.
