both edward and stede gasp at being in love

folks, does the love of your life ever just steal your breath away?

Both of their realizations sound more like a chuckle.. The type of chuckle where it's like "oh that's what that was." or "how did I miss that?" yknow? its so cute, i love this

[@lnfreeman]

They don't so much gasp as they release a held breath. Like a moment of relief.

[@catboyrightsandwrongs]

yeah honestly I couldn't figure out how to describe this little inhale bc it's not a gasp but for the purposes of labeling this video I had to say something

[@lnfreeman]

@@catboyrightsandwrongs "waiting to exhale" 😊

[@tessliebregts610]

They released the breath they didn't know they were holding.

I love the sound Ed makes. It breaks my heart a bit. It is kind of like a breathless inhale like he is surprised. Like he isn't used to people being gentle with him or looking at him like he is gentle and deserves nice things 😭😭😭😭

[@lozpopo]

Hes waiting for Stede to laugh at him and when it doesnt happen....

[@kayla3246]

Oh my god thank you for pointing this out! Also why is this giving ME butterflies??? I love these two so much lol

[@catboyrightsandwrongs]

oh my god that's so sweet, happy to spread butterflies

[@corancoranthemagicalman]

The fact that so many of us get secondhand flustered by these stupidly romantic pirates is such great solidarity on our projected pining parts.

[@fairieemy]

You pointing this out has cured all my problems for the next 24 hours

[@catboyrightsandwrongs]

o7 happy to help

[@rasbbe]

their gasps being their respective realisations that theyre IN LOVE. IM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND

[@bedtimerat]

i love how ed's is way earlier in the show and stede's is literally after they already kissed ugh my boy is so aloof i love him

[@RariettyC]

If season 2 has a scene where Ed and Stede share a romantic moment and, during it, Ed lets out a gasp as proof that he can't help being in love with Stede even after having his heart broken, I'm going to die

[@ahobbit1273]

Because neither of them were ever expecting to fall in love 😭

[@Allegro11Maestoso]

Neither of them ever expected to be loved for who they are 😢

[@belongtobill]

They more let go of a bated breath that they didn’t realize they were holding until they are told that their feelings are actually true, not something they shouldn’t believe.

[@maggiemcfly5267]

OMG stahp it! The wait for season 2 is gonna feel like an eternity 😫

[@h0n3ymilk]

silly gay lads

[@beck4930]

That's the internal "Oh." moment, externalized.

[@BigFanOfManyThings]

Steve breathes sighs outwards when in love, Edward’s breathes catches inwards

[@greatvalue_ethelcain]

*Usher’s “Yeah” plays as all the season 2 announcements bounce off the walls*

[@Scatterbrained_Watching]

Crying. Absolutely SOBBING

[@ellisgalex]

i always saw ed’s as like a little laugh of disbelief. like he can’t quite bring himself to believe that someone really thinks so highly of him :’)

[@millypede777]

so kissing was just guys bein dudes to stede huh 😂

[@briannawarren4174]

*soft gay gasp*

[@Nevermore-Nevermore]

This is just more proof that they are meant for each other.

[@NeoNovastar]

AwwwWWWW I LOVE THEMMM
