Summary
“Alright. What is not aces is that this is transpiring to be futile. I may have to contact Monty and see if he is willing to-”
“No!” The protest escaped Charles before he realised it, his mouth snapping shut immediately at Edwin's incredulous look. The thought of some random bloke getting it on with Edwin – even for a ruse – was enough to make him do something stupid. “Why do you need someone else, mate? I’m right here, aren’t I?”
Fuck, too stupid.
Edwin sucked in a sharp breath, the only indication that Charles had stepped onto an invisible landmine. “What are you offering, Charles?”
Now that he’d started, he couldn’t stop. “For the holiday party, mate. You need someone who knows you, someone who’s willing to go along with it, someone you’re comfortable with, then- well, I’m offering myself up, mate.”

Summary
Getting in the water with his clothes on feels a bit weird, even if they won't get wet – Charles can never help clinging on to those habits of life that Edwin seems so ready to abandon – so he strips down to his singlet while Edwin reads, completely engrossed, and the rest of the Brighton populace carries on, completely oblivious.

“Okay, I’m here, I’m here, hold onto your horses, Crys. What’s going on?”
“Jesus, what’s going on?” Okay, he did not sound like that. “Edwin is leaving.”
What.
“What,” he said, disbelief lacing his voice, causing a sharp huff of laughter. But he didn't really take Crystal to be the joking type, not for this. “What do you mean, leaving?”
“As in top-secret filming project that he's flying out for in a couple hours. And no Charles, this is different. It’s in goddamn America. He told Niko that she can’t come visit which means you can’t come visit which means he’s being so utterly stupid about this."

Summary
Edwin is on the couch, shivering as he removes each layer until he is down to his shirt. His pants are unbuttoned, the hardness evident, but he hesitates. Because Charles is standing across the room, by the closet, completely dressed and only watching, eyes dangerously dark.
Then Charles begins speaking.

Summary
There is a part of Edwin that he keeps hidden between the bedframe and mattress. It is paper and ink and Edwin’s imagination tampered down and shoved out of view whenever Edwin's classmates get too rowdy.
