"Look at him, Iz," Ed murmurs and grinds against Izzy. "I've seen you looking, you know, I've seen how closely you stand to him when you're fencing."
Izzy's eyes snap to Stede despite himself. "That's not-"
A hand grips his hair, pulls him back tightly. "Tell me I'm wrong," Ed says, and it's a dare and a threat, and Izzy swallows.
"You-you're not." Izzy bites out and Ed's responding smile is brilliant and glowing.
