“Does it look bad?” Felix asked Charlie at breakfast. Charlie bit his lip, not wanting to tell his boyfriend that his face looked fucking awful, but it looked fucking awful. One of his eyes was swollen and pink, infected and crusty. Still, he thought Felix was sexy, but man, that case of pink eye was really getting in the way of that. 

“It’s not...that bad,” Charlie said, unconvincingly. 

Felix snorted in amusement, reaching up to rub at his eye and Charlie reached across the table to grab his wrist, pulling his hand away from it. 

“Don’t irritate it,” he told him. Felix gave a loud sigh, showing that he was already over this nonsense of pink eye, but he did as Charlie told him.

“Hey, Mom,” Charlie greeted as he stopped by Robyn’s house. She’d called him in the middle of the day to tell him that her computer had messed up and she didn’t know how to fix it. While he wasn’t horribly computer savvy, he knew enough that he thought he’d be able to help her out. Plus, it was always nice to see his Mom. 

Charlie worried about her being in that house all by herself. She didn’t even have a dog anymore to keep her company and in all honesty, he didn’t know what she did with her days all the time. He hoped she wasn’t terribly lonely and if he had a bigger apartment, he’d offer to have her come and stay with him if she was. Although, knowing his Mom, he didn’t think she’d ever accept something like that. She never liked to be a burden for her kids, she’d made that much clear. Though, Charlie didn’t know how many times he had to tell her that she was never a burden.

In an effort to make Felix feel better about having pink eye, Charlie got out his guitar and started to sing him a song. He had no idea what he was doing, just strumming along and singing out of tune to some chords, but it did the trick and Felix was laughing along with him in no time. 

It made Charlie realize just how much he loved Felix. He wasn’t good at showing his emotions, or talking about things with Felix, but he knew he was in love. Thought again about Harvey getting married to Samantha and maybe it was time to talk to Felix about the idea as well. They’d been together for a while now and maybe it was time. He almost put the words into the lyrics he was singing, but couldn’t quite get over that hump of embarrassment or fear of rejection.
