just woke up, have a meeting in 6 minutes, and all I have in my head is a scene where charles and edwin are bickering during case-solving, and edwin says something snipy, charles asks if he would've preferred monty there, edwin saying "well he would have agreed with me, for one." charles retorting that "that's not why you keep me around is it? you have me around to actually help and be useful." in the sense of he gives another perspective.
edwin looks him dead in the eye, with a judgemental eyebrow raised and goes, "charles, I'd keep you around for no reason at all." and simply goes back to researching.
charles think about that for the entire duration of the week-long case.
anyway i wanna write about how edwin is freer with his words since the confession and charles gets metaphorically smacked on the head each time with it.
i'm writing a fic where charles tells edwin that he is actually quite flattered that edwin loves him, which leads to edwin starting to tell charles he loves him every time he feels it
and the initial plan was that charles would freak out at least a little about slowly returning edwin's feelings, but i cannot make him
that boy is going to be nothing but grateful and delighted when figuring out he is in love, no matter what
The history book on the shelf. Is always repeating itself ...

charles and edwin would be the type of couple to use 'dude/bro' romantically and 'babe' platonically i don't make the rules
