HIS CHEEKS BURN, A BASHFUL SMILE creeping onto his face. ‘ wonders, huh ? ’ gentle hands tug her down into his lap, settling at her waist as he brushes his nose against hers with a little laugh. ‘ you gonna give me any hints about these wonders, or, uh, should i just guess ? ’
WON’T YOU BE MY HAPPY THOUGHT?
NEW TAG DUMP (5/?)

it’s not the first time he’s gotten a little rambling , a little lost in thought——not even close . charles is an academic at heart , most comfortable in tweed , or a collared shirt like the one he’s wearing now . like the one alice has just pulled him down by . well , if she wanted him silent , she’s succeeded ; his cheeks are bright red and his mouth is half-open as he struggles to look at her eyes and not her mouth . ‘ UM — ’ his train of thought has gone utterly off the tracks . over the edge of a canyon . exploded like in a western . poof . goodbye , knowledge of the american civil war . good riddance . what does he need it , when she’s smiling at him like that & all it takes to kiss her is half a thought , the slightest lean ? which he does , of course , knowing instinctively what she wants from him .
when he stands back upright , he runs a hand through his hair and grins . ‘ you know , if you were that sick of hearing about gettysburg you only had to say so . ’
@nostlgic said: ‘ all’s fair in love and war, i know. ’
‘ WELL , YOU KNOW I WAS NEVER much a fan of war . ’ charles smiles , trying to put her at ease . he has never meant to hurt her , and if he has , he’ll do anything to put it right . anything she wants at all . ‘ and love ought to be fair , i think . if it isn’t , if it just hurts , what’s the point ? ’
CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHAOS — ACCEPTING

HE WANTS TO . GOD , HE WANTS TO . nothing in the world is so perfect as these moments with her , these miniscule eternities . he knows he needs to get home , and that he needs to get her home , but . . . maybe a few more minutes won’t hurt . who knows what the future holds , anyway ? who knows how long he’ll have her ? charles hopes its for forever , of course , but he’s not naive . the world doesn’t play fair . it never has .
‘ course , ’ he says quietly , and reaches across the center console to take her hand in his and squeeze . i love you , he thinks . the enormity of it overwhelms him . he loves her , and he doesn’t think he’ll ever stop . he can see a life with her ; maybe not a perfect life , but a life that is unabashedly theirs . perfect in imperfection , maybe . something the poets will write about , maybe . ‘ we can stay as long as you want , alice . ’
RUN AWAY WITH ME.
