#now drinking tea

He could get around just fine himself, albeit slowly and frustatingly. Seeing how tears formed from his first slap, he decided to deliver another. Abel was lucky he didn’t wear an array of rings like many other nobles.

“If you’re going to be a big baby about it and cry then don’t test me in the first place! Now put me down this instant!”

There is an egg! What is it doing there? Where did it come from? It’s going to need help if it’s going to survive…

Can he eat it? Is that an option? No? He’ll give it to Humpty then, his husband will definitely take care of it.

At first he sleep was light, slightly rousing as he was joined in bed, momentarily forgetting where he was. But with arms around him, warm breath on his neck, Charles was able to fall back into a deep sleep, no monsters or memories to chase and make him suffer. It was so nice to have someone to protect him from his inner demons, even if it was temporary, even if when he woke up things may only get worse.

When the first rays of light shone through the curtains, eyes peeked open, but he only saw the other’s chest before him, having shifted in his sleep. Face immediately reddened, remembering how he had tiredly stumbled into the room for comfort just hours before, not knowing if the immortal had stayed or not. He should have known Abel would still be there, so beautifully stubborn. Gaze slipped shut, almost willing himself back to sleep, so he could continue enjoying such company.

So are you and Abel like friends now or something

How absurd, he still didn't enjoy seeing how close Abel and Humpty were, even knowing they were just friends. "Of course not, I am simply tolerating his existance for now." The statement was true, he was at the very least tolerating him for Humpty's sake, and it didn't hurt the other made good food, but he also wanted to get close to him to make sure he wasn't going to try anything. One had to keep potential enemies close.

Back to being in a half decent mood and sane, the Earl went searching and found Abel in the manor’s library. Charles plopped down across from where the man sat, nabbing a snack from the plate between them. He’d heard about how the other had visited his lover’s world and was curious what he thought.

“Can we agree on the fact that the place Humpty is from is fucked up?” Sue he himself enjoyed fighting, but that place took it to another level, and people without faces? It was all too much for him.

@bricxbrac​ Abel looks at the options and decides on hand holding. That's a safe enough choice.

Charles just silently takes his hand back, staring coldly back at the other.

Upon being joined on the floor, the Earl stiffened, tempted to get up and run away. However the feeling was fleeting and a sense of calm returned to his body. Charles listened, not once trying to interrupt, somewhat comforted by the fact Humpty was also thinking of him constantly. Though he still failed to understand why he was thinking this way.

“Why?” A mere whisper, questioning what they had both admitted, even if it all supposedly had no logic, he needed it to for his own sanity. It was loathsome, not being able to control himself or the situation at hand.

bricxbrac replied to your post: He's here expecting Grey's usual sass--

He’s…very confused.

As he should be. It’s not like Charles wished to act this way, but was compelled to.
