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

Mentions of Gibe's wife. This was before I had the idea to incorporate LuciGibe so Ame & Spi are wondering if Gibe's ever been in love. Clearly he has. Or maybe this still takes place because they don't know if he loved Luci, he just... had an affair with the man.

[Me]
Amethio admitting to Spinel that he likes Friede and being scared that Spinel will hate him for it because y'know that's his doctor who's also a man etc but Spinel just laughs and goes "I could tell that you liked him immediately"

[Me]
Spi may not know much about Ame but he is observant by nature so he figured out within seconds that Ame had a crush on Frie (because Ame was talking to him in ways Spi had never witnessed before)

[Redacted]
Ame talking about this kind of stuff for the first time to Spi and being like "... don't tell father", like he is worried he could gossip.

[Me]
Yes, exactly! Spi going "Um no I would never do that, I don't even think Father would understand anyway"

[Me]
(In my mind Gibe's marriage was an arranged one so he didn't exactly have much of a choice with his wife, but even if he did love her he was terrible at expressing it)

[Me]
Ame: So you don't think Father's ever been in love?
Spi: Er... I have no idea. I'd like to think he loved our mother
Ame: S-So you mean... He's also felt really awkward being around someone and he's wanted to do unspeakable things to them but he's had to hold back?
Spi:
Spi: You know what I can't see him being like that at all, actually

[Redacted]
Gibe genuinely having love for his family but having a difficult time showing it is one of my favorite things.

Also these two are so cute trying to understand their dad... maybe you can't imagine him in love because it's embarrassing and that's your dad!

[Me]
Ame having the (very late) realisation that his dad's had sex and getting super shy about it and Spi asks what's wrong so Ame explains and Spi just sits there "Oh yeah I guess he did, huh"

[Me]
Ame: Do you... think he's done it since Mother died?
Spi: Let's not talk about that. Or any of this. Please?
Ame: Yeah fair enough

[Redacted]
They really are so cute. Your dad is human just like you two are.

[Me]
He, too, has a crush on Friede, you know

[Redacted]
Everyone in this damn family, I swear.

[Redacted]
Spi likes to believe he is the only sane person-

[Me]
Unrelated (kinda) but I like the idea of everyone being able to tell that Ame likes Frie... except for Frie himself (because he doesn't want to acknowledge that that might be the case) and Gibe (because he doesn't know how emotions work)

[Redacted]
Yes. It's so cute how potentially obvious Ame is about his crush. If you know him, you immediately notice that he acts differently around Frie and it's just so endearing...!

[Me]
Ame thinks he's hiding it well but everyone just goes "Oh so that's how it is" when they see him interacting with Frie... (Frie's coworkers desperately want to tease Frie about the fact that one of his patients likes him but they know Frie has no idea so they just chuckle amongst themselves)

[Redacted]
Yes! Like idk one time, one of the other doctors came to Ame to ask something or idk, and Ame thought that Frie wouldn't be coming anymore and that he wouldn't be his doctor anymore and he was all sad in the inside but then Frie actually showed up and he was happy..

[Me]
Yeah that kinda thing exactly! He'll be snappy with the other doctors and question everything they do but once he warms up to Frie he behaves

[Redacted]
He is so cute. Frie got him in line!
