Summary
“You are injured,” Edwin observed aloud.
“Always am, mate,” Charles huffed, then brought a hand to his ribs where a jolt of pain shot through him. Part of him hoped Edwin would just leave it at that today.
For how close they were in their positions on the plush bed, Edwin was still putting too much distance between them again. He always did, when he could suss out that Charles had fresh bruises or cuts, as though he was scared that even the lightest touch would hurt Charles more.
Even if it did, Charles knew it would be a pain that he would gladly endure as long as it was Edwin who was touching him.
“What happened?”
“Fell down the stairs,” Charles breathed out slowly, trying to keep up what little pretense he had left.
