    Summary

    "Do you still have a crush on me?"

    The words barely audible escape Charles's lips before he realizes it, as if he's once again lost the connection between what he's saying and what he's thinking.

    Edwin freezes at his seat, standing in front of a book open on the table, his hands stopping halfway to it. He lifts his head abruptly, and his gaze fixes Charles in place, as if mesmerized.

    Summary

    The air that escapes Charles's lips as he smirks is felt on Edwin's skin, and now he can't stop the flow of thoughts heading in the wrong direction. A hot knot forms in his stomach, seemingly not metaphorically twisting everything inside him.

    Sighs, and Charles's attempt to make another movement doesn't help.

    Summary

    Edwin takes a convulsive breath when Charles's lips cover his own. It is unexpected. In an instant, a wave of embarrassment covers him. He cannot say that it is unpleasant, Charles's lips are so soft and warm on his lips. It feels light and sweet, and something inside Edwin turns over at that moment. He makes an effort to grab Charles by the shoulders and with a sharp movement push him away from himself.

    "What the hell just happened?" Crystal cries out, looking from Charles to Edwin and back in confusion.

    Edwin's face is confused and disconcerted, and he takes a shaky breath.

    "Charles? What... "

    Summary

    "Charles, it’s…" Edwin pauses. "You don’t deserve…"

    The feel of Edwin’s fingers still sends warm sparks across his skin.

    Rowland takes a deep breath, trying to regain his composure. He feels the fingers tracing the scars of the life that left him, running along his ribs, and Edwin’s arms wrap tightly around him.

    Summary

    The marks Edwin's fingertips make on Charles' skin are neither cold nor warm, but palpable enough to send a metaphorical jolt through his body from the touch. Charles makes a pleased sound and Edwin finally realizes what just happened. Payne takes a sharp breath, as if he still needs to breathe, and pauses for a moment, meeting Charles's gaze.
    "I'm sorry, I..." Edwin jerks his hand away, clenching it into a fist.
    "Edwin..." Charles begins, but finds himself at a loss for words. He tries to gather his thoughts in his head, but they flow away, not wanting to form words, leaving in his consciousness only traces of someone else's touch, sending electrical impulses through his body, so clearly felt as if he were still alive.

    Summary

    "I’m serious, Charles. What will change if you allow yourself to love him? You will still be best friends and the most important people in each other’s lives. You will still be dead detectives and you will still be colleagues and partners," she pauses. "Only now you will kiss. A lot." Crystal emphasizes the last word and an ironic grimace appears on her face.
    "Crystal!" Charles exclaims with all the feigned indignation and a wide smile spreads across his lips. He can’t hold back his laughter. It seems that she managed to at least make him laugh, and he no longer frowns.

    Summary

    Edwin's hands fall from Charles's shoulders, finding purchase on the table the moment Charles' lips touch his neck. One awkward movement of the hand makes the bouquet forgotten on the table fall to the floor, the flowers scatter at their feet like a blue and red carpet. Some kind of biblical picture: their small world, flooded with golden rays of sunset, casting contrasting stripes of light and shadow on the furniture and walls; the two of them, too carried away by each other, surrounded by a riot of floral colors scattered across the floor.

    Summary

    "You're unbelievable," Charles exhales chokedly, takes Edwin's hand and kisses his knuckles.

    "Charles! I'm not done yet. Don't move, please." He tries his best to look at Charles menacingly, but the barely suppressed smile gives him away.

    And Edwin might rebel against Charles' behavior, since the bandaging had yet to be finished, and Charles' lips were still pressed to the back of his hand, and it was incredibly distracting, to be honest.

    Summary

    "It's going to be okay, mate. It doesn't matter that this is going to be the best date I've ever been on. I don't have anything to compare it to, do I?"

    And it comes out somehow warmly, through the smile, and Edwin casts a worried look at him and relaxes in a second, exhaling noisily, as if he still needs to breathe.

    "I don't want to ruin anything, Charles"

    Summary

    "You'll never be enough for me," Charles says into the kiss, and it comes out too hoarse. He opens his eyes, and the flutter of those long, jet-black lashes makes Edwin's brain short-circuit a little.

    Charles tries to catch his breath, like he needs air, and there's such naked adoration in his eyes that Edwin could lose himself in it completely the moment Charles kisses him again.

    Summary

    "There, great? Did it work?" Charles's lips curl into a smile. He pulls away, feeling a sweet, piercing warmth spreading inside him, echoing in his long-since-stopped heart.

    Edwin stands frozen for a few seconds, his green eyes fixed on Charles. There is a ringing silence between them for a moment, his gaze tracing over Charles as if he were reading the pages of a book line by line, and he feels his insides twisting into a metaphorical knot. The mark of a kiss on his cheek is too tingly, and for a moment he wants to commit it to memory – the touch of Charles’s lips on his skin.

    Summary

    "No, I never thought about that. I have too much work to do. Besides…" She pauses and rolls her eyes. "How do you even suggest I do that? Just sitting in an attic somewhere, dying of hypothermia and internal bleeding, waiting for the love of my life to show up, just because it somehow worked for you. No, thank you!" She says the last part so pretentiously and quickly that Charles can barely keep up. "Happy?"

    "What? Wait, what love?" Rowland's brows furrow and he tilts his head to the side.

    It takes him a moment to realize what she means. The Night Nurse thinks he and Edwin are dating... Bloody hell!

    Summary

    Gasping between frantic kisses, Edwin finds himself thinking about how long and painfully he has wanted to be touched. As if they had never held hands or hugged before this day, as if he had not felt Charles's lips under his, a moment ago, as if only now the line between friends and lovers had been hopelessly crossed by both of them. The thirst for touch drives him crazy, inexorably creeping into the most distant corners of his consciousness.

    Summary

    — I think she knows. She would be proud of us. — His dark eyes wander over Edwin's face, as if he were reading the pages of a book. Charles smiles a sad smile and kisses him, and when tears fall on his lips, the kiss becomes salty. Payne presses his hands to Charles's chest and feels how the pain gradually disappears, goes away and dissolves, leaving a damp chill inside from the raging storm of feelings.
    Such is the price of endless life - one of many losses that would be better never to happen.
    Dawn is already beginning outside the window, the rainy night flows into a cloudy morning.

    No one leaves forever, right?

    Summary

    They argued for a few minutes, and Charles can’t remember why Edwin’s harsh tone was so appealing, why his focused and reserved appearance was driving him crazy. It was like a switch had flipped in his head, and now his fingers were sliding down his best friend’s cheek, his lips pressed to Edwin’s.
    They’d been too busy working for the last twelve hours to discuss it now.
