Edwin Is Nothing If Not Stubborn. Its Something Charles Has Become Quite Acquainted With In Their Thirty

          edwin  is  nothing  if  not  stubborn.  it’s  something  charles  has  become  quite  acquainted  with  in  their  thirty  years  of  friendship,  but  it’s  also  something  he  wouldn’t  dare  change  about  his  best  friend  though  he’s  certain  that  crystal  would  disagree.  he  never  unanticipated  a  back  and  forth—he  knew  edwin  well  enough  to  know  that  the  brains  of  the  operation  would  never  go  down  without  a  fight.

          “ ‘foolish’ ? ”  he  scoffs  half-heartedly  with  a  roll  of  the  eyes.  “ i’d  hardly  call  keeping  you  safe  ‘foolish’,  mate.  never  said  you  couldn’t  protect  me  with  your  magic,  did  i ?  i’m  just  saying  that—as  i  told  you  before—i’d  feel  a  whole  lot  better  if  you  knew  how  to  properly  defend  yourself  with  your  fists. ”

          charles  will  never  pretend  to  know  how  to  do  magic  like  edwin  can—much  preferring  to  let  his  fists  do  the  talking,  no  matter  how  brash  it  might  be.  he  has  an  appreciation  for  edwin’s  arcane  affinity,  and  is  more  than  happy  to  benefit  from  the  wards  placed  upon  his  cricket  bat,  but  that  doesn’t  change  the  fact  that  if  someone  were  to  be  up  in  edwin’s  face  he  could  find  himself  in  quite  the  predicament.

          “ tell  you  what—i  think  we’d  be  doubly  safe  if  you  found  yourself  a  weapon  of  your  own.  besides  a  wand  or  string.  and  i  could  teach  you  how  to  wield  it,  yeah ?  it’s  the  least  you  could  do  if  you  won’t  learn  to  throw  a  proper  punch. ”

from the moment the two boys met it had been a constant to and fro of protection. edwin would do all in his power to protect charles as the other would do for him. it had only grown more prominent as the years wore on. sure, charles more often than not played the dashing hero wielding his cricket bat but edwin could fend off the odd attacker with his spells and wit.

this argument as playful as it is is common ground.

" be that as it may being the brawn does not have a stipulation for putting yourself in harms way in a foolish attempt to protect me. if you are permitted such recklessness with your afterlife i am afforded the same. "

but he can't help but feel comforted. charles does it out of love for his best friend. but also due to the constant pains and fears chasing edwin. the pain he has suffered in his afterlife is vast and charles seems hellbent on making sure that list never grows.

" i however can concede that you are much better than i in the physical elements of protection. but i find myself better equipped with the arcane such as my new wards for your cricket bat. i added a few protection ones for both our benefits. "

💗 [ edwin to charlesssss ]

💗  to  lean  against  my  muse.

          he  catches  sight  of  edwin’s  silky  brunette  hair  out  of  the  corner  of  his  eye  and  a  smile  pulls  at  his  lips.  it’s  still  weird  how  they  can  feel  the  touch  of  each  other,  but  every  other  sensation  of  the  living  world  is  dulled.  charles  isn’t  about  to  complain,  however,  yearning  for  anything  that  can  make  him  feel  alive,  despite  the  irony.

          “ you  feeling  alright,  mate ? ”  he  asks  after  a  moment,  bantering.  “ don’t  listen  to  crystal,  yeah ?  she’s  just  jealous  that  she  can’t  pull  off  garters  like  you  can. ”
