🎲 for charles and edwinnnn <3

36: A kiss to the shoulder

          another  case  solved,  another  job  well-done…is  typically  charles’  motto.  this  case  had  been  harder—more  emotionally  taxing—than  some  of  the  others.  a  kid  who  died  via  hate  crime  had  come  to  them  for  help  in  finishing  their  business  on  earth  and  crossing  over.  it  was  something  they  could  both  relate  to,  but  said  hate  crime  had  been  blatant  homophobia.

          a  kid  murdered  by  his  bullies  after  being  outed.  it  had  been  a  rough  one  to  deal  with  and  they’d  felt  so  bad  that  they  decided  to  take  it  on  pro-bono.  his  death,  at  the  very  least,  hadn’t  been  covered  up  or  forgotten  about,  but  it  still  hit  close  to  home.

          when  it  was  all  said  and  done,  either  of  the  two  felt  in  particularly  high  spirits  to  celebrate—even  if  it  had  been  a  happier  ending  for  the  kid.  charles  had  noticed  how  it  had  affected  edwin,  in  particular,  and  sat  next  to  him  on  their  old  couch.

          wordlessly,  he  leaned  his  head  against  edwin’s  shoulder,  tilting  his  head  after  a  moment  to  press  a  soft  kiss  to  his  shoulder.  he  remained  silent  for  a  few  moments  longer  before  quietly  asking,  “ do  you  wanna  talk  about  it ? ”

“C’mon now, [Name], lets keep moving.”

“It’s always just been me and [Name].”

“I need you to tell me everything that happened.”

“That’s a lot of money to owe…”

“Just what did you get yourself involved in?”

“Are you in town for a business trip, maybe?”

“Well, when your own life is that dull, you need to get your excitement somewhere…”

“Now, don’t you think you’re overreacting?”

“This is exactly the kind of behavior [Name] warned me about.”

“She’s just the worst to every girl she perceives as a threat.”

“So… You’re saying I’m not a threat?”

“I know there’s more to you than meets the eye.”

“I have to get back to work.”

“You don’t seem to care whether I’m happy.”

“Curiosity killed the cat…”

“I’m not used to having people around me while I work.”

“Hey, come on, don’t leave me hanging!”

“I’m sorry to add to your plate, but…I really need your help.”

“Are you telling me I should snoop around?”

“Ah, c’mon, a little joke’s never killed anyone.”

“Although it may seem like it, I’m not actually clairvoyant.”

“I’d forget my own head if I didn’t write everything down.”

“The way they look at each other, you can tell it’s the real deal.”

“Maybe it’s because my empathy only goes so far, but… I admire that you’re able to feel for just about anyone.”

“I don’t think I get along with everyone, but some people are worth getting friendlier with…like you.”

“The way you turned that compliment right back around at me, was…masterful.”

“I bet you could make anything look good.”

“Just what could’ve made you empty out your entire bank account?”

“I’ve never seen two people more suited for each other.”

“I need to know I can count on you.”

“Don’t you have work to do?”

“I think my heart stopped beating there for a moment.”

“If you weren’t so pretty, you’d have been out of a job a long time ago.”

“What the hell are you going on about?”

“Always a pleasure doing business with you, [Name].”

“I hope I didn’t get you into too much trouble earlier…”

“I guess the heart wants what the heart wants…”

“Adults can be so…confusing.”

“I can’t believe it all ends here.”

“Thank you for not giving up.”

“I would never give up on you.”

“Come on, you know I wouldn’t let you down.”

“I’m not sure I understand what the plan is here.”

“I enjoy the occasional, artistic endeavor.”

“I feel like I’m in one of those novels I spend my days reading.”

“I just love trying new things.”

“I could not have done this without you.”

“I’m glad I was able to be of some help.”

“Thank you for everything.”

“Hey, just because I read books doesn’t mean I know everything.”

“That’s a lot sweeter than I expected.”

“I do like a happy ending.”

“We could leave together if you’d like.”

“Even the most put-together person could be an absolute mess on the other side of the door.”

“I like to think that, with me, what you see is what you get.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to bring the lights back on.”

“Hey, you look a bit pale…”

“Is everything okay?”

“you’re not scared of the dark, are you?”

“Maybe you need to sit down, huh?”

“You look like you’re about to faint.”

“We’ll figure something out.”

“Maybe don’t mention that to the police.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t say anything before.”

“I’m…ashamed of the truth.”

“Maybe now you can understand why I care so much about you…”

“I’d really like for us to be more than just friends, [Name]...”

“Promise me you’ll be careful with the information you share.”

“Sorry, I was…distracted.”

“I really need you to focus right now.”

“I don’t want to be here all night, and I’m sure you don’t either.”

“I suggest you tell me everything you know.”

“We all struggle sometimes.”

“There was no point in staying if you were leaving.”

“I’m flattered, but that really wasn’t necessary.”

“You’re the most charming person I know!”

“I’m really glad I have you in my life.”

“Sorry, my mind wanders sometimes.”

“Should I be jealous?”

“I just want them to be happy…”

“What the hell’s going on?”

“You can’t do this!”

“Don’t you have work?” violet @ louis !

          “ nope ! ”  his  tone  is  much  too  chipper  for  someone  who  had  the  lookout  night  shift.  “ just  switched  out  with  rubes  so  my  schedule  is  lookin’  pretty  clear  right  about  now… ”  he’d  be  lying  if  he  said  that  he  didn’t  get  a  kick  out  of  getting  under  violet’s  skin.  she  made  it  too  easy,  honestly.  “ besides,  i  can  tell  by  how  enthusiastic  you  are  to  see  me  that  you  won’t  mind  me  hangin’  out  with  you  for  a  bit. ”
