When someone brings up the heated rivalry club scene but all I can think about is Charles and Edwin in that same scenario
Crystal, Edwin and Charles investigating a case back in London. Charles and Edwin are in disguise, only theyre young people now because the only lead they could was at the club.
The club is full of neon lights flashing and Edwin is instanly captivated even though he was opposed to going at first and Charles is thrilled because Edwin doesn't look miserable and he always wanted to go to the club but he never had the chance to when he was alive and now he's there with his two most favourite people (investigating a case but still) he's having the time of his life.
Crystal excuses herself to the bathroom and when she's on her way back, she spots the person they were looking for. She motions Edwin and Charles to come and Charles nods and asks Edwin to stay where he is, closer to the exist so if that person tries to escape, they can't (and also, because if it comes to it, Edwin shan't be harmed)
While Charles and Crystal speak to their guy, Edwin is approached by a beautiful stranger and is asked for a dance. At first Edwin hesitates but gives in when he looks over at Charles and Crystal and see that they have it handled. After all, he's sworn to try new things this year, and dancing with a man who is, quite frankly, pleasing to the eyes, is far from the worst thing.
Charles, still conversing with their guy, instinctively looks in the direction Edwin was supposed to be and frowns when he doesn't immediately see him. He turns his head to the right and oh there he is.....dancing with a stranger.
Charles is no longer listening to anything, unable to look away, he's rooted on the spot, mesmerised by how fluidly Edwin's moving. He is not alive but he could swear his heart just started beating faster. The logical part of his brain supplies its probably because Edwin is wearing the disguise of a beautiful woman that anyone would be captivated by.
But then the man puts his hand around Edwin's waist, and Charles wants take the sword out of his bag and cut his arm clean off. How dare he touch him like that?
He accidentally locks eyes with Edwin, and everyone else dissappears, its like the air has been sucked from around him, the big walls suddenly feel like they're closing in on him.
....why does Edwin never dance with Charles?
