late night self reflective asks 🌙
waning: what is your biggest regret?
|| ♜ ┈┆⊱ To say that Edward has regrets would not be a lie in the slightest. He regrets having that extra bite of sweets in the morning. He regrets not having tended to his studies when busy practicing cricket. He regrets the things left unsaid between him and his former prefect, questions with no answers, and the loss of happier times that can no longer be recovered– well, not with that attitude.
The list goes on and on, from very minor mistakes, to arguably heavy topics, but anyhow. To Edward, his biggest, greatest regret is associated with childhood. Recalling the bitterness and spite towards his younger cousin Ciel (he whom has been given everything and anything on a silver platter; from family name, to status, to fiancé, to love and affection and attention– good heavens, why a brat like him?!)
Having held onto that immature spite, even after his supposed “death” and “return to life,” you can most definitely say that he regrets allowing that very gesture to prevent him from getting close to his cousin when as children. Hell, it even preventing him from playing nice with the boy. And after all that’s happened to the young rightful heir Ciel Phantomhive, why wouldn’t Edward regret it?
sweet dreams: are you happy?
An immediate no. With the current happenings of canon, Elizabeth still missing, the workings of a cult still in play perhaps, and not to mention a nagging worry towards the boy he had known as his cousin Ciel for the past three years or so, Edward is not at all pleased let alone happy. Not until everything is resolved.
