#he's flirting your honor

[fandomfaeofveryfewf4cks]

I'm seeing a lot of people saying they're excited to see Charles realize he's in love with Edwin, but...y'all... I think he knows? The whole season he seems like he knows exactly how he feels about Edwin, but was denying himself the romantic aspect of those feelings. And there are SO many reasons for why he'd be doing so.

First off, he has said he doesn't want to end up like his dad. I'd wager he doesn't want to have a serious romantic relationship with anyone because he's worried he'll end up treating them like his dad treated him and his mum. I do think he had feelings for Crystal, but maybe he didn't believe it could become something lasting. She is living after all. He very well may have figured she'd grow up and move on to someone else, but at least he'd have had a girlfriend for a little while, almost like he would've if he hadn't died.

Similarly, as well as wanting a girlfriend/ partner, he may have always thought he HAD to have a girlfriend like lots of people think they HAVE to find a significant other of the opposite sex to settle down with like they're expected to. For someone who clearly wants to be alive, it's understandable for him to be reaching for what he was taught to be the "normal" experience for normal teenage boys.

It doesn't help that his dad very well could've been homophobic, so Charles never felt like it was safe for him or the boys he might've crushed on. Not to mention, it was the 80s, so he was probably being taught boys liking boys was wrong and/or would get you killed, even if his dad wasn't the one saying it.

I feel it's also worth mentioning that he's known Edwin for 30 years. That's nearly twice as long as he had been alive. Edwin had shown Charles a kindness he'd seen little to none of before and then kept being kind to him. He was unapologetic and sometimes harsh about voicing his opinions, but also listened to Charles'. He knew what it was like to hide things about yourself like Charles did. Charles may have even clocked Edwin was gay from very early on.

I headcanon he probably more or less went from ignoring it cause it's Edwin, to feeling weird about it but not showing it, to getting curious and learning more about it, to looking up "how to be a good ally" to accepting Edwin and reassuring himself that if Edwin does come out to him, he will make sure he knows that Charles will always accept him for who he is, and that this wouldn't change how much they mean to each other nor the respect they have for each other. (Really, he seemed so ready for that confession. It wouldn't surprise me if some planning went into what he was gonna say. Just didn't expect it to happen in Hell.)

Anyway, my point is that Charles seems to have put Edwin on something of a pedestal. He sees him as kind and good, and Charles will protect him with everything he has so that he may remain so. Charles can't help but love Edwin, but he will make sure that love is from a selfless place. Partially so he won't be taking anything Edwin shouldn't have to give, but also because he may not think Edwin would want to give or take anything to or from Charles if he saw the things Charles hates so much about himself which possibly includes: all the things his dad said was wrong with him, everything he grew up being told was wrong with people like him, all the things he sees of his dad in himself, and possibly more.

AND! Edwin is an upper-class(?) white boy from 1916. Charles is a queer punk from India. He may have thought Edwin would have had some prejudices against him even subconsciously for a while when they first met, which would have also been an acceptance-of-feelings deterrent.

Ultimately, if it turns out Charles also needed over 30 years of looking at his friend like that to figure out he like likes Edwin, I'll still love it. But I'd also be surprised. Boy was blushing and giggling for Edwin since they first met even while dying of fucking hypothermia. I swear.

So in episode 2 Edwin tells Charles he was taken off guard when the cat king whispered in his ear.

In episode 6 Edwin comes out to Charles and Charles figures out that the cat king was flirting with Edwin.

In episode 7 Edwin tells Charles he’s in love with him.

And then in episode 8, Charles leans in and whispers ‘my smile is pretty convincing’ into Edwin’s ear.

Will there be a moment where Mychael gets flirty 🤔? [I don't see it much with that but aha, one can do it in their own way xd]

If he sounds like he's flirting it's definitely an accident 99% of the time haha! Even if he does actually try to court someone I think he'd be too direct for it to be flirting,,, 💀

“honor” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 478 words

“Reg. You’re literally drooling.” Barty tells him, brushing the corner of Regulus’ mouth to prove his point. Regulus swats his hand away and continues to stare at James Potter.

“Can you blame me? I mean, look at him. And have you read his case studies? The man is brilliant.” Regulus says without looking at Barty.

“You had to drag me here against my will, of course I haven’t read them.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Did you not want to come and stare at an incredibly gorgeous, incredibly brilliant man for 2 hours?” Regulus finally tears his eyes away from James to glare at Barty.

“Alright, take it down a notch, he’s not that–” Barty stops mid-sentence to smirk at Regulus.

“What?”

“He’s coming over here.”

Regulus’ eyes go wide, and he just stares at Barty, not sure what to do. Barty, the asshole, grabs Regulus’ shoulder to spin him around and push him forward, nearly pushing him right into James Potter.

“Woah, you alright there?” James asks.

“Yes… I’m… you’re… I…” Regulus sputters as he gawks at James. He takes a deep breath then awkwardly reaches out to shake James’ hand. “It’s an honor to meet you, sir.” Regulus says, trying to sound professional but it comes out a little breathy.

“Sir? I could get use to that.” James says with a wicked smirk and Regulus feels his entire face grow hot. “The pleasure’s all mine,…?”

“Regulus.” He says as James takes his hand.

Regulus glances down and when he looks back up, James makes direct eye contact with him. They gaze at each other for a moment, and something settles in Regulus; a confidence he didn’t know he had and he’s not sure where it came from. The corners of his lips turn up in a smile and he watches something shift in the way James is staring at him. James subtly runs his middle finger down Regulus’ palm as he lets go of his hand. Regulus has a sharp intake of breath but doesn’t break eye contact with James.

“Do you have plans after the lecture, Regulus?” James asks and his voice is almost sultry.

“No.” Regulus all but purrs.

“Do you want plans?”

“Yes.” Regulus smiles mischievously. “Sir.” He adds and his smile turns to a smirk.

James’ eyes grow hungry, and he runs his tongue along his bottom lip before pulling it between his teeth. They hold each other’s heated gaze for several more moments before James breaks the silence.

“I’ll see you after the lecture, Regulus.” James whispers with a smile. Regulus smile back with a small nod and watches James walks to the front of the room.

Barty clears his throat breaking Regulus out of his daze. He had honestly forgotten Barty was even there.

“Mmm, I’m starting to see the appeal.” Barty says.

“Back off, Barty.” Regulus hisses and Barty just laughs as they go to find seats.

I love that Soren's first instinct when getting lost in an unfamiliar forest with a bunch of strange mushrooms, was just to flirt. He was completely unbothered by the mushrooms or the tracks or the fact that they didn't know where they were.

He just decided to flirt with Corvus. And I love that for him.

Oblivious

Eddie Munson x Reader

Synopsis: You think of all the times you flirt with Eddie and he doesn't realize.

You couldn't believe it. You wanted to bang your head against a wall. Either Eddie Munson wasn't into you or was a certified idiot. You knew it had taken him three times to graduate, but you never really thought about it as some people don't do well in a classroom setting. You believed that to be the case for Eddie. He could create intricate campaigns for DND as well as explaining chord progessions and why they sounded good. He was insanely smart at things, he just had difficulty focusing sometimes. And yet, you started to feel like you were losing brain cells around him.

You liked Eddie Munson. You thought Eddie would have picked up on the fact since you flirted with him a lot. And yet, he never seemed to notice. It was ridiculous.

You had trailed your hand up his arm. He didn't flinch and just smiled at you. You said he could play a bard as his next character, since he was so charismatic and cute. Eddie had thanked you and said being cute wasnt a requirement, but he was the DM and would be running the campaign.

You had tried leaning in when talking to him. Eddie didn't seem to notice, continuing to talk and move about so often he moved away from you unintentionally. You complimented how he smelled once. He said it was just weed and if you liked it he could give you some (it was absolutely not just weed).

You tried to bat your eyes at him in a flirtatious manner. He asked if you had something in your eye. You tried that seductive lip bite thing you've read about in books. He asked if you were constipated. You had tried the good old yawn and put your arm around them technique. Twice. The first time, Eddie had playfully bit your wrist. The second time, he licked you. You wanted his tongue on you, but not in that way. Of course, both times you went to remove your arm he had grabbed your hand and pulled it closer. But nothing had changed after, it was like it never happened.

So you took to older techniques of flirting. You dropped something so he would pick it up. Eddie just joked that you were clumsy, which annoyed you so much you didn't even flirt further (regardless of how true or untrue the statement was). You made sure your ankles were exposed. He didn't even notice. You weren't sure what you expected with that one. You could try to faint, but weren't sure if Eddie would catch you or not.

You dropped compliments all the time while Eddie brushed them off. You bought him a new ring to wear. He claimed it was metal and would fit right in with the rest. Eddie had put it on then gave you one he wore and said, "Now we're even." You had went home and screamed into a pillow. You also kept his ring on a chain and wore it half the time. Eddie had simply smiled and gave you two thumbs up.

The most recent thing was when you had held your hand up against his. Eddie's hands were slightly bigger than yours. You had mentioned how big they were and hinted at what else was big. Eddie had given you a wink and wiggled his eyebrows. He then went back to explaining the newest campaign. You interlocked his hand with yours and said it fit well. Eddie had simply smiled and said thanks. Thanks!

No. Nope. You were pissed. You hadn't wanted to just flat out say it but enough was enough. You liked Eddie Munson and he was going to hear it once and for all.

You stormed into the Munson trailer without knocking. Eddie looked up from where he was sitting eating chips on the couch. Before he could chastise you for entering you snapped," What the hell is wrong with you?" Eddie's eyes narrowed, "The fuck? You storm into my house and-" "Shut up!"

Eddie's jaw clenches and you glare at him. "No, seriously Eddie, what the hell? I've been flirting with you for months and you don't even react?" Eddie's mouth drops open. He blinks a few times as you continue," I've tried every known thing in the book, but you don't even think twice!"

"You were flirting with me?" Eddie asks quietly. You huff and flop onto the couch next to him," Apparently not well if you couldn't tell." You cross your arms and pout. Eddie clears his throat," I mean I thought you were flirting but...just didn't believe you meant it. Not with me at least." You look at Eddie who is blushing. "Why would I flirt with you if I didn't mean it?" You frown slightly. "Practice? Wouldn't be the first time. Ya know, flirt with the freak." Eddie cleared his throat and your heart sank.

"I uh liked it though," Eddie turns to look at you, "the flirting." You inhale and exhale slowly looking at him. "You just have to be clear. Communicate to me. I overthink things and convince myself I am overanalyzing. That's why I'm a good DM, I think of like every scenario and what could happen. I explained the uh flirting away. Just thought you were being friendly or felt comfortable." Eddie shrugs slightly. "Okay. Then let me be clear. I like you Eddie Munson. Not just as a friend. I want you to be my boyfriend."

Eddie's smile slowly spreads across his face. Eyes lighting up and twinkling with joy," And I like you. And I would love to be your boyfriend." "Good." You nod. Eddie reaches out and interlocks his fingers with yours," Good." You both sit in silence for a moment. "So are you gonna kiss me or-" "yup, yes, yeah absolutely."
