    Summary

    Stede Bonnet is dying, has been for a long time. He’s known about it for going on 12 years, an inoperable brain tumour. Yep. Right in the centre, getting its filthy little paws into all sorts of juicy parts of Stedes brain, just sitting there and causing all sorts of havoc till the day it finally finishes him off. At first the idea of death terrified him to his core but by now he’s pretty much accepted it, being terminally ill is just a part of his personality at this point, he’s learned to live with it.

    It’s not until a sexy, long haired, leather clad specimen of a man comes into his life does he reconsider how fulfilling life could actually be.

    Summary

    Another email is what drags him up from a half-sleep, bleary-eyed. He has to fumble over Hizashi’s chest to get his phone, idly stroking up and down Hizashi’s back with his palm as he settles back to delete the file before he can convince himself to read it.

    Is this what everyone deals with, out in the limelight and painted for people to take their shots? Probably. He should have known - should have been softer, gentler with Hizashi when he complained of all of his juggled responsibilities wearing on him back in their twenties. He should have been kinder in his judgement of All Might, too - and a sour, twisting part of him wonders why they never tell him about the hate they get.

    Maybe they don’t think he’d be sympathetic. His chest tightens.
