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

"Honestly I keep going back and forth with how much Gibe loved his wife. I feel like he didn't... but like. He didn't hate her either? He's just not really that into women and he was forced into the relationship by his family, so he's a bit bitter about it the entire time.

But I also think he'd be upset by her death? Idk"
[Me] Maybe if we knew anything about Gibe in canon I could make better judgements lol
"[Me] Assuming Gibe had a wife. If not then I'd just make Ame's canon mother Gibe's wife in this AU

But for now Gibe's Ame's dad in this AU and Wife has to be an OC, oops"
[Me] I just love the angst of Secretly Gay Man Is Rich Family Heir So He's Forced To Marry A Woman And Have Kids so much, oops
"[Redacted] I feel like he was upset either way because deep down he is human.

He didn't like being forced in the situation but since they had children, he was getting into the role of father and did what he had to do... even if he didn't love her romantically, well she was part of his life whether he wanted it or not."
[Me] Yeah. He cared about her in his own way, even though he never showed it. I think he didn't really love her romantically and that was his justification for the affair with Luci (and Gibe had convinced himself that Wife didn't love him either so there's that) but she wasn't a bad person or anything, so...
"[Me] I don't think Wife loved Gibe that much romantically either. She would find him a bit off-putting and scary, but she wouldn't think he was a bad person

Until the affair at least lol"
[Redacted] Yeah just because she wasn't a big fan of him, doesn't mean she wants to be cheated on.
[Me] I feel like Gibe would've been surprised at himself with how upset he truly felt over Wife's death, and he figured he had no right to mourn her since she A) wasn't actually his wife for a few years before she died and B) he violated her trust completely
[Redacted] He sure betrayed her!
[Me] All because of one silly pretty boy
"[Me] Oh what of Luci doesn't know Wife died because he and Gibe cut contact with each other after the divorce... So when Ame's in hospital and Luci learns who Ame is (Gibe's son) he's a bit surprised when he remembers Ame telling him his family never visits

Luci remembers Gibe's wife as being very fond of her children, after all..."
[Redacted] He had a part in it!
"[Me] Luci asking Ame again about his parents...

Ame: Are you fucking kidding me? My father doesn't care about me. You should know this
Luci: R-Right, but... I would've thought your mother would visit... I know your parents aren't together, but I can't see her not caring about you enough to at least drop by when she can..."
"[Me] Ame wants to punch Luci in the face, but then he realises that oh. Luci doesn't know. He was never told about Mother.

Ame: That's a bit difficult
Luci: Why? Is she... not legally allowed to contact you? That doesn't sound likely
Ame: Well, it's somewhat hard for her to visit me considering she's, you know, dead
Luci: ...................What"
"[Me] Luci's horrified to learn that Gibe's wife died, and he feels awful for bringing her up...

Ame: I don't want to hear you talk about her
Luci: Understandable. But, if I may, how did she...?
Ame: ...Some kind of accident. I don't know. I've never asked. I doubt Father would tell me anyway."
"[Me] Luci's initial assumption is The Wort Scenario but from what he remembers of Wife, she wouldn't be the type to take her own life as long as her children were there, but... He can't help but wonder if it was a suicide...

(It's not, it was a car accident. I think Luci would eventually ask Gibe directly and Gibe tells him what actually happened)"
[Me] Luci can have a bit of extra guilt for a while though : )
[Redacted] He sure can... it's all because he was horny.
[Me] TO BE FAIR Gibe was horny too! They're both to blame!
[Me] (Ame just has too much trauma related to Gibe hitting him after he was told about Mother dying for him to ever ask questions about her death)
[Redacted] The thought that he never knew all these years how she died and will likely never know.
"[Me] In some ways I feel like Ame wouldn't want to know? If he doesn't know, he can't picture what happened to her.

Though I do want Spi to know some day... Maybe he gets the courage to ask...

Not that Gibe really knows the details himself. But that's the information he was given, and he had no reason to think he was lied to"
[Redacted] Yeah Spi would definitely want to know for his own peace of mind.
"[Me] Wife's family would've been hesitant to tell Gibe but they figured her children should know, and that's the only reason Gibe was ever contacted in the first place...

Wife's family just hate Gibe imo, they wouldn't blame the kids in the slightest"
[Redacted] Gibe is not popular at all ww
[Me] I mean. It's his own fault lmao (he gets better though)
[Redacted] Lk about Gibe eventually: I know he apparently did bad shit but... he is trying!
[Me] Poor Lk lol, she doesn't know the full story (not that she needs to) (She'd still feel bad for Gibe anyway)
[Redacted] I can see Spi telling her about Ame eventually and what he lived through. Like down the road. And perhaps Spi does say Gibe emotionally abused Ame when he was still alive... not as a way to make Gibe look bad to Lk. Just because he needs to talk about it.
"[Me] Yeah, same! And he'd confess some of his own trauma too. Lk feels sorry for both boys and admits says that she wasn't trying to excuse his actions, just... She wanted to give him a chance to be nice, since to her, he seemed really lonely and sad.

Spi wouldn't think Lk ever meant to absolve Gibe of what he did in the past, though"
"[Redacted] Yeah he knows that she is just like that! Genuinely nice! (And he loves her for it)

It's not like things will change in the way Lk interacts with Gibe. But she is sad that things had to be this way."
[Redacted] She sees this pathetic old man and wonders how he could be so abusive
[Me] (Gibe wonders the same thing about himself sometimes... He truly never realised)
[Redacted] I wonder how Spi would feel letting his kids around their grandfather... well he would know Gibe had changed by then but you know, some part of him still worries.
[Me] I think he would be okay with it as long as he or Lk were there... He'd never let Gibe be around them unsupervised (Gibe wouldn't want to be anyway haha)
[Redacted] Yes! Cute... Gibe would be very careful... not to hurt a kid again
[Me] I like to think Gibe would be terrified of accidentally hurting Spi's kids : )
[Redacted] Same. He knows how much Spi is willing to make an effort by letting his kids spend time with him... he won't betray that trust.
