⠀ [ edena had made remarkable progress with her abilities, learning to control them instead of fearing them. with that knowledge now, she found out she could do so much more than what she thought she could. even so, she could not have done this without charles— that fact alone brought her here, standing outside of his office doors late at night, her knuckles tapping against the wooden door while her voice called out his name. ]

@scarredtouch please, if i ever did shoo you away you'd be the first i ever did. [ he responded continuing to neatly compile all of the papers, he was very particular about how he liked to keep things and if they were out of place and not where he expected them to be it would bother him. especially when it came to his office as he spent an excessive about of time here. people grew apart over time it was a natural thing and he'd learned that the hard way. but the idea of not sharing moments with her like this one was something he never wanted to think about. ] [ his gaze remained on her but more out of the corner of his vision now as she made herself comfortable. finally with everything organized he glanced back to ensure he was clear before he carefully backed up from behind his desk wheeling over to be closer to her. ] i have a funny feeling we're going to last, edena. i couldn't imagine a life without you in it. ⟨ at the mention of the comfort of the couch he studied it. ⟩ that couch is quite old actually, but it's withstood the test of time. they simply don't make things like they used to anymore.

⠀ ⠀ [ charles was the first person she’d ever really let in almost entirely and that was scary at first, but she slowly warmed up to the idea of having someone there for her— of having an actual FRIEND. she hadn’t regretted it so far, nor did she think she ever would. if they had a falling out, they’d have a falling out. but she would enjoy their time together for as long as it lasted, cherish him while she had him. ] ⠀ ⠀ just because you have yet to shoo me away doesn’t mean that you won’t. someday, you might get tired of me bothering you so late and sleeping on your couch. [ she grinned, shimmying into the couch a little more before pulling down the blanket he’d so neatly draped on the back. oh, it was so warm. ] well, i think that means you’re growing comfortable in our friendship. often times, at least from friendships i’ve observed, the ones who aren’t try to fill the silence. the ones that last though, they can spend hours together without talking and they’re as strong as ever. [ she turned her head to look at him, a silly grin tugging at her lips. ] oh, i am incredibly comfortable. tell me how your couch is more comfy than my bed? i think that’s criminal.

@scarredtouch [ charles was somewhat of a social butterfly, he had to be especially with how much of his job consisted of simply holding conversation and smoothing over even the worst of situations while still keeping his cool. just because someone seemed okay doesn't mean they really are. deep down he struggled in ways he couldn't explain. but especially with the thought of being left behind, being alone. edena was easily his closest friend and that was no secret, they had gotten closer and closer and that scared charles a little bit. ] oh, why wouldn't i say that.ᐣ i have yet to shoo you away. [ on his desk several papers were scattered along it before he began to collect them, tapping them against the surface to neatly line them up before he slid a paperclip over the corner. ] that's typically how it is, silence around you is just as comfortable. [ he replied as he looked over his shoulder at her in her new location as he smiled softly. ] speaking of comfortable, are / you / comfortable now.ᐣ you were wiggling all over a moment ago.
