Re: Gen- d'Artagnan gets the absolute hell beaten out of him (Extreme violence) P7 Final Part
Date: 2015-05-16 07:26 pm (UTC)“You have to forgive him,” d’Artagnan said to Athos as he struggled up from the bed. Athos and Porthos had helped him move back to his own room three days prior and now he was thoroughly fed up with being confined. He was getting up and nothing could stop him.
Except possibly his still aching ribs. He sighed as he collapsed back onto the bed.
“Is that so?” Athos said as he watched the younger man cautiously, ready to intervene if he felt d’Artagnan was pushing himself too hard.
“Yes. I already have and I don’t want to have to choose between the two of you. It was me that was hurt and I bear him no ill will so you can forgive him too.”
“It’s more complicated than that.”
“No, it isn’t. I know you’re very overprotective of me but you don’t need to be angry at Aramis anymore. He made a mistake and he’s paid for it.”
“He’s always making mistakes and he keeps on doing it. This time you paid the price for those mistakes but some of them have an even higher price.”
“It doesn’t matter. He’s our brother and we can forgive him anything.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“Completely. It doesn’t matter what he’s done I will forgive him and so will you.”
Athos sighed. “You’re right,” he said eventually. “I won’t stay angry with him but it doesn’t mean that I am going to approve of how he chooses to conduct his affairs. Especially when people close get hurt.”
“Great,” d’Artagnan grinned. “Now, help me up and we’ll go and forgive our friend.”
“Are you sure? You are still unwell.”
“I’m fine as long as you help. I need to get out of here, I’m going mad lying here all day. Now, get over here and lend me your arm.”
-x-
Aramis had been in a lousy mood ever since d’Artagnan had left his rooms. He couldn’t concentrate and he even began to wonder if Athos’ determination to drink away his problems was a sensible plan. Only Porthos had kept him from going on a bender.
“They’ll come round an’ see yeh soon enough,” he reassured.
“They’re not mad at you really.”
“Feels that way.”
“D’Artagnan already said he was goin’ to forgive yeh and Athos will too once he realises that d’Artagnan is gettin’ better.”
“He’s really angry with me and he has a good right to be. I nearly got d’Artagnan killed.”
“But he’s goin’ to be fine.”
“I don’t deserve his forgiveness.”
“Well yeh have it an’ ‘e’s not goin’ to withdraw it so you’d best accept it.”
They were interrupted by a knock on the door. A moment later d’Artagnan hobbled through followed by Athos, whose face was completely unreadable. Aramis felt his stomach lurch.
“How are yeh?” Porthos asked d’Artagnan as he helped him sit down.
“I’m getting better,” the younger man replied. “I’ll be completely back on my feet in no time.”
“That’s great. I expect to see you back in trainin’ soon then.”
“As soon as Athos lets me.” Porthos laughed.
“He’s like your mum.”
“Worse than my mum,” d’Artagnan grinned. “I never thought anyone could look more disapproving at my bad choices than my mother but he manages it.”
“Better that then you hurting yourself more,” Athos replied coolly. “None of us want you laid up longer than necessary.”
“I know. I’m just bored. I don’t like being out of commission like this.”
Aramis felt another pang of guilt shoot through him. Despite Porthos and d’Artagnan telling him that they didn’t blame him it still hurt to know that he was the reason his friend had been injured.
“Athos,” d’Artagnan prompted, seeing the opportunity for him and Aramis to smooth things over. “You have something you want to say to Aramis.”
Athos sat down at the table opposite Aramis and took a breath. “I have been too harsh towards you these past few days and I wanted to apologise for treating you so harshly.”
“I deserved it,” Aramis replied.
“Nevertheless, you are my brother and I can forgive you for what happened. Despite what I said I don’t hate you for how you choose to live your life nor am I going to blame you.”
“You had every right to be angry with me.”
“I was being overprotective of our young friend. He’s a grown man and a Musketeer, he doesn’t need me to be so worried about him.”
“I don’t mind your worry,” d’Artagnan interjected. “So long as it doesn’t interfere with our friendships. You all mean more to me than you can ever know. I don’t like to see anyone fighting.”
“And you mean the world to us,” Aramis told d’Artagnan. “You are our little brother and we would never forgive ourselves if anything happened to you. I will never let this happen again, I promise.”
“Then that’s settled,” Porthos grinned, slapping Aramis on the shoulder. “Now who’s for a drink?”
“I don’t know if I’m quite up to going to a tavern just yet,” d’Artagnan replied. “I don’t really like the crowds.”
“Then we’ll bring the drink here. Just us four.”
“I’d like that.”
“Then it’s settled. Aramis and me’ll go an’ get the wine.”
“Thank you,” d’Artagnan smiled as they headed out. “You really are the best of friends.”
“Of course we are,” Porthos laughed. “How could you ever doubt it?”
They left d’Artagnan and Athos sitting at the table. “Thank you as well for forgiving Aramis for me.”
“You were right,” Athos replied. “I was more angry at the whole situation than I was with him. It would be wrong to end an entire friendship over something so trivial.”
D’Artagnan smiled. He was right, they really were the best friends a man could wish for. They loved him, protected him, cared for him and had his back completely. They had defended his honour over something that he hadn’t even done and confronted the man who had hurt him, how many people could say they had friends like that?
There was still one thing that weighed heavily on his mind. Although Athos, Aramis and Porthos had sought out his attacker, he needed to confront him. He needed to face him. Until he did he would not feel completely safe.
-x-
D’Artagnan grew stronger with every passing day but he still felt afraid. Despite the numerous assurances from his friends that he was not going to be attacked again he still felt scared. He jumped at every little noise, wondered who was lurking in every shadow and he was sick and tired of it. He needed closure.
It had taken some convincing but he eventually managed to pry this information he needed from his friends so once he felt strong enough he ventured out of his rooms and headed across Paris.
Monsieur Charpentier, d’Artagnan decided, was a very small and weak man. He watched him from across the street from his home and he wondered how a man like him could ever have overpowered him. Had it not been for Monsieur Charpentier’s friend’s d’Artagnan would have been able to fight him off with ease. It made d’Artagnan feel sick to think that such a powerless man held such power over him.
D’Artagnan entered the house as silently as he could, taking a small bit of satisfaction at the fright Monsieur Charpentier received when he realised that he was there.
“Who are you?” He asked, the fear evident in his voice.
“Don’t you know? I would have thought you would be able to recognise the man you beat, it’s not something that leaves your mind quickly.”
“Mon Dieu,” he gasped. “I am sorry. It was not you, I should never have hurt you.”
“It’s a little bit late for that, isn’t it? Over a month has passed and you are only now just apologising and only when I find you, how is that right?”
“Please forgive me.”
D’Artagnan sighed. He wanted to tell the small man where to go but he knew that he needed to do this in order to be able to move on. He couldn’t hate him forever.
“I forgive you,” he said. “I probably shouldn’t. By rights I should hate you but I don’t want to. I don’t want to think about you ever again after this meeting has ended and I can’t do that unless I forgive you.”
“Thank you,” he sighed. “Thank you for forgiving me. I can sleep easier now.”
“This isn’t about you. I don’t care if you never sleep again. This is about me and I cannot stop being afraid until I no longer think of you. Besides,” he stopped speaking and punched Monsieur Charpentier hard in the face. “I forgive you but that doesn’t mean I don’t want payback for what you did. Now we are even. If I ever see you again I will kill you.”
And then he left, lighter in spirit than he had been. The weak man had no hold over him anymore, d’Artagnan no longer felt afraid.
He was no longer frozen. He was free.
