❛ my first instinct is to protect you, no matter the cost. ❜ ( for Charles also hi! Excited for another dbda friend! )
this is how it’s always been with them, and yet… the fierce, protectiveness that charles feels for edwin makes him want to rebuke the statement. he doesn’t doubt the validity—hell, he’d do literally anything for his best mate—they’re always looking out for each other. but charles doesn’t know what he’d do if something happened to edwin. you couldn’t have one without the other. at this point in time, charles wasn’t sure if he’d know how to function without him.
“ oi, aren’t you supposed to be the brains of this operation ? ” his lips curl back to reveal a grin; light teasing. “ i think i’d feel much better if you let me handle the brawn and you keep using that big brain of yours, yeah ? ” he knows that edwin is being serious—more so than a heart attack, even—but he’s not quite sure, given the odd squeezing sensation of his chest, that he could handle the thought of edwin getting hurt because of him. no matter the cost.
💗 [ 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. ”
🎲 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 ? ”
