FrieAme AU where Friede's a paediatrician and Amethio's a terminally ill inpatient. Friede's in charge of Amethio's care and keeps telling himself not to get attached but oops Friede gets attached. So does Amethio. Contains main character death, obviously!

Thanks to my good friend for always contributing great ideas! <3

Friede not wanting to be seen as a predator and trying to convince himself he's doing nothing wrong because it's Amethio who's insisting on having a romantic/sexual relationship but there's that one part of his brain that keeps going "It's still a crime though"

[Me]
Bad Frie: It's just a blowjob
Good Frie: That's still illegal my man
Bad Frie: But he wanted it
Good Frie: You think that defence will hold up in court? Nobody's gonna believe you, buddy
Bad Frie: I didn't do anything wrong!
Good Frie: So you're saying it's his fault?
Bad Frie: No! Amethio's not to blame!

[Redacted]
Frie simultaneously hating himself for crossing the line and being like "but Ame wanted to be loved though-"

[Me]
I want him to have a complete breakdown over it once he realises what he's done, despite it not actually being his fault lol (Nor is it Ame's really)

[Me]
But then not too long before his death Ame tells Frie that he really did care for him, and that part of what he appreciated was that Frie took him seriously and treated him like he was mature enough to make his own decisions. So Frie gets over it (mostly)

[Redacted]
And it's not like Frie is attracted to other patients! It was just one time! It was just Ame! It's just that his soulmate happened to be younger! (more excuses)

[Me]
Ame consented, you know! Sure he's 15ish but if he didn't want to he would've made a fuss about it and gotten Frie in trouble! The fact that Ame let Frie love him means that he was serious about it! (It's still illegal, Frie)

[Redacted]
At least he realizes it

[Me]
Oh he definitely does lol, he has a very bad and not good time about it! (He dug this hole entirely on his own though)

[Redacted]
This is what happens when his soulmate is younger... in a different life, he hopes Ame is his age

[Me]
In their next life the age gap is even bigger just to spite him

[Me]
I like the idea of the universe constantly going "No you idiot the point is that he's significantly younger than you! Stop being a coward and kiss him anyway" though lmao

[Redacted]
Absolutely. The age gap is inherently part of this pair of soulmates. It wouldn't exactly work the same without it-

[Me]
Frie just has to accept that he's in a bad position and get over himself lol
