CHARLIE’S AND JONOTHAN’S RELATIONSHIP

How they met and how they got together

(It’s a long read but i had fun doing this i literally never write)

The First Meeting

okay so as we know, jonothan was a transfer student while he was balls deep in his emo statue personality era. Bland and french 🙄🇫🇷. Charlie shared a few classes with the guy so she was tasked with showing him around and getting him i guess situated would be the word. And oh boy was it AWKWARD.

Basically she freezes up when the principal mentioned that this task was going to be a thing, poor thing was practising what to say and do for an entire anxiety riddled week.

Anyways.

The day comes and she begins her script, imagine the panic when this guy who is VERY decent looking (at least i would hope you think so i did give him the model thingie you know not gonna let that go to waste) doesn’t react AT all to her little jokes in an attempt to break the awkwardness, if react to any info tbh aside from the worlds most subtle nod sometimes to where things are in the school. So she still tries her best and forges on. (side note charlie tackled highschool like it was a very long and elaborate dnd session she just had to make it out alive at the end of the day 💪💪) so does NOT slow down with the planned jokes and attempts to break the ice and tries her hardest to show she’s not ridiculously nervous, unfortunately for her even in his statue era of showing emotion he could tell she was tense as fuck through this and mentally was like “yeah i feel you” still very much emotionally distanced but the only way i can word it is like there was an awkward alliance mentally formed that day in his head, not that he noticed it as that though straight away.

So the end of the day rolls around and as she planned hands him a little pamphlet she designed with a map of the school how she sees it with like the best routes for things, which water fountains are decent and which ones might give you lead poisoning, rundowns of the classes they share and just info she wishes she had when she was new to this school as well all decorated in her little artsy farts style (she took her time on this let’s give her some credit). and to prepare herself to maybe not have to do this awkward guide act for no reason left a note right at the end of the pamphlet basically saying something like,

“if you hated this guidance and don’t want to do this again i totally get you, no hard feelings if you pretend it never happened. But if you didn’t mind or would like to keep going for the full week i was “suggested” to do you can meet me at the gates at xyz time :D” with a little doodle of the location with a drawing of her standing there , lol i feel like she would.

I don’t think she was like banking on this guy actually reading the thing she gave him, to be fair when in this entire ramble did i say she was confident or expecting decent things out of this experience. But good thing he did after he was well out of the schools radius and had a few chuckles out of her rudimentary (it was very detailed let’s yet again give her credit) almost tourist pamphlet guide of this school he had no say on going to.

So that’s how they had that first meeting and also first icebreaker week together.

How the friendship properly started.

After that week jonothan was still his epic ‘statue don’t show anything outside’ self, what? did we expect a complete character transformation in a week just because i threw the annoying sunshine character to him? nah this isn’t that fast paced lmao. But after that he got used to meeting up at the gates or meeting in the halls after their different classes to go to their mutual class.

i should mention he’s a creature of habit, very much like a cat, exactly like a cat. So i don’t think changing the routine was very much in his plans anyways. And for charlie she took it in her stride but on the inside was a bit like *shocked emoji* because she’s used to a history of not being very good with people after a planned interaction or even the person just, sticking around after…

So this awkward sort of alliance/routine kept going and as time went on it would feel less and less awkward and more and more like “yeah this is how the day goes” which was PERFECTLY fine by these two creatures of habit. And what started as navigating the school together turned to walking out of the school together sometimes and when that became more comfortable for the two Charlie at some point blurted out that “it would be nice to grab a snack before heading home” because the thought of hanging out more with this new found “friend” (friendship status yet to be verbally established and acknowledged by these two awkward mfs just yet this is all unspoken at this point) and this guy, without skipping a beat just turns around in a non verbal way of saying “so where do we go” and charlie RAN with this compliance and took this guy to her favourite burger place down near the beach.

And sometimes it wasn’t even eating , it was walking around the area nearby with her talking her head off about anything and everything because she didn’t really have anyone to just sit there and just be there while she talks about her interests or her current project or homework. Either way she was just chatting to this guy who just chilled there wether it be with a burger or not.

After that, that habit was added to their routines as an option and it was at one of those after school burger runs that he finally actually SPOKE 😱🤯 and was like “you know this is nice actually , didn’t expect it to be like this but yeah,,,,nice.”

So just i’ll give you a moment to imagine charlie’s disbelief that this statue of a man SPOKE and said they were having a decent time. Yeah she replayed that moment for a while, talk about a confidence boost.

And now that we know he not only speaks but that he most definitely was actually listening she took this as a chance to try and make it a two way street of conversation so slowly but surely within her rambles and stories she would sprinkle in a prompt for him to put in his two cents or ask him a question that would let her get to know him a bit better.

And what was once just a quick walk around the area or something to eat while they waited for charlie’s bus to get closer to the scheduled time became missing the bus and just hanging out around the beach or park and having jokes (which at this point jonothan was trying his hardest to join in on the funnies but he was still very much not that good at it yet. personality not fully unlocked with her yet lol) or doing a bit of homework to prepare for a stupid pop quiz that charlie can SENSE is going to happen in their next class.

At some point in those more comfortable friend sessions is when charlie just threw out the “soooo,,,,wanna be friends?” (again don’t think it was random she has been thinking of saying that for a hot minute to acknowledge what they were if at all at this point) and this guy thought to himself:

“??? we have been for the past 3 months??? why else would i be doing what we do if we weren’t?? like is she really built like a brick wall when it comes to intuiting people ?”

but when he looked at her she kinda looked like she was ready to run for the hills if he didn’t say something, did he make a face? he probably made a face for a split second. so he had to reallly quickly get his words out or he doesn’t know if she’ll explode LMAO. So he responded “of course.” and the relief that passed through her face must have been so obvious and her mental suffering must have been so funny and enjoyable to this guy that he LAUGHED? HOW DARE HE LAUGH SHE WAS TRYING HER BEST HERE, PRACTISED HOW IT WAS GONNA GO DOWN FOR WEEKS. but wait, he laughed

*insert shocked charlie.jpeg*

After that she joined in on the laugh because i mean, it was pretty funny.

Later on that night when charlie got home she went and changed his contact name from “Jonothan School” to “Jono 😎 (Friend!?)” and if he ever saw that she would deny that to the end of her days. They both started texting more frequently after feeling like they jumped a mutual understanding hurdle and didn’t have to overthink if they could or couldn’t say or do something. Like now Jonothan sends pictures of his Cat whenever it’s doing literally anything and Charlie doesn’t want to tell him that he treats that thing like his first born (it is). Or for charlie to just text what she’s doing or a thought she had.

Throughout this growing friendship both of them started to open up with each other, jonothan revealing he lives on his own and that he kinda made a deal with this stupid french mum that if he kept modelling he could live on his own here despite him wanting to just be a shut in for a while, charlie felt prompted to butt into his ramble saying they could do that at least for a weekend? and the idea seemed so nice to this tired boy that he was like ‘yeah why don’t you stay the weekend at mine and just do whatever?’ which is how he was introduced into how to be professionally lazy on the weekends by charlie and how sleepovers at each others places became a regular thing. Charlie couldn’t believe how easy this all was, was it always meant to be this easy to have friends?

Jonothan got to meet Luke for the first time when they were doing a class project together in her room when Luke waltzed into her room like he normally does to announce his presence and be a general brotherly bother for a while. Luke didn’t even notice that there was a guy on her bed while she was 3 textbooks deep in trying to figure out if they did ever mention that dinosaurs had feathers, but when he did he was in a bit of a state of shock but also proud, look at his sister being social! it also, IS THAT A BOYFRIEND? WITHOUT TELLING ME? Charlie had to clear things up and properly introduce the guy before an interrogation began right there and then. Poor girl couldn’t even look at either of them being a bit embarrassed that she had to introduce her friend like that, but she did it, good for her.

Initially Luke wasn’t too convinced, brotherly instincts, could even call them maternal he’s a mother hen when it comes to her anyways. But as this guy became a regular to their place and her to his (which Luke wasn’t too happy to find out this friends house she’s been going to frequently was a boys house but i mean, she’s being social), he got used to this guy, i mean he’s alright i guess 🙄🙄

SIDE NOTE

I should mention that charlie and jonothan do have a two year age gap. So since they met in highschool they would have been in different years, and they are. But with Charlie being the little overachiever she was at the time she was put into some classes above her year level and those are most of the classes she has in common with Jonothan. So yeah just keep that in mind. Also with Charlie doing classes above her actual age grade thingy? She gets an opportunity to do final exams earlier than you normally do so has a chance to graduate a year earlier than everyone else. Also keep that in mind.

The FEELINGS and how both of these idiots dealt with it before the big ole figuring it out.

Charlie’s had to repeat a billion times “he’s MY FRIEND” to which luke “jokingly” implies ‘is he though?’,,,,is he? Thoughts and having time to think those thoughts are an enemy to charlie sometimes because 🤔🤔 hmmm….OH SHIT. Now after Luke so lovingly and delicately planted the seeds of doubt has she realised she’s really fond of this dude, like more than friendship fond. God hanging out is going to be so awkward!! here she is freaking out about how to act like she didn’t have a friendship altering revelation, meanwhile Jonothan was in no way going to realise his feelings ANY time soon with the way he’s so not in touch with his emotions.

Now hangouts and sleepovers that would be so fun and easy for Charlie are full of overthinking, nervous rambles where they would have been excitement filled and silently freaking out about physical interactions. Now, Jonothan may be dense as fuck, but he’s not stupid, something is up with his bestfriend, who he totally thinks about a normal amount in a totally normal way. So being the totally normal guy he turns to his online friends to figure out what’s going on, because why ask directly am i right? His friends are like “She’s totally got a thing for you dude” and Jonothan thinks they’re joking, that can’t be it? Really?

So now he’s in research mode, ‘how to tell if a girl likes you’ google searches, seeing how Charlie acts around him compared to other guys, which he doesn’t want to admit bothers him a little when she gets a laugh out of some random guy in class she’s partnered up with, meanwhile she’s as stiff as a board walking home with him. Hold on why does that bother him? Clearly he’s just a little off from the shift in attention he’s receiving from her, right? Anyways, after a lot of thinking and laying awake because he’s so worried about his friend does he actually let his brain CLICK in the fact that “oh SHE MIGHT BE INTO ME?!” (mind you this happens over quite a few nervous wreck weeks for charlie who is trying her hardest to go on like normal with him)

Jonothan grappling with the fact that Charlie might see him as more than just a platonic friend now has to take a moment and do some thinking himself because? ‘what if she confesses?What do i say? I just want to be friends right? I mean i’m so comfortable with the way we hang out all the time, how we talk about anything and everything and how i enjoy just being with her and how she looks when she sees something related to her interests and how badly i want to get her every single thing she even looks at for a millisecond-OH? oh.’ So this is what it’s like to think about your feelings huh? Now it’s Jonothans turn to think about this revelation, because he could be totally wrong about him thinking that she likes him and now he realises that he’s been wanting more than just friendship.

Now on the outside, interacting with Charlie has not really changed with him because he’s so dang good at masking how he feels about literally anything, but on the inside? That brain is going 500 thoughts a minute now. Cue these two idiots having to awkwardly hang out as if they’re not into each other. The questions we all have now is, who’s going to crack first and fess up. Eventually though Charlie starts to get back to normal around him and so does he, that doesn’t mean those feelings have gone anywhere but she realised that even if he doesn’t like her in that way it’s okay, right? But at this point just having the nagging thought in the back of her mind has been so so so annoying it’s like she can’t even think about other things and it’s been bothering her for a while now with the endless pining.

Shockingly it’s Jonothan who cracks and confesses and it’s in the most nonchalant way (initially). They’re just hanging out at his place, him scrolling on his phone and her playing video games and jonothan just drops

“By the way i Like you”

And Charlie being not only dense but refuses to believe they’re anything but platonic goes

“Yeah i like you too”

this is when Jonothan realises that he’s got to be way more concise about his point here even though he just let that slip, there’s no turning back now if he doesn’t do this now and properly, there’s no telling when the chance will come up again if at all.

“No i mean romantically, I have feelings for you.”

“haha yeah sure”

“i’m serious”

Once again imagine Charlie’s shock that this emotional wall of a man just threw that at her when she’s accepted the fact that Him and her were not going to be a thing in her mind theatre, that and the fact that he was so direct about it. SHIT SHIT SHIT WAIT SAY SOMETHING BACK DONT LEAVE HIM HANGING.

“me too”

THE SIGH OF RELIEF FROM THIS MAN acting like he was going to explode from being so emotionally vulnerable in the face of uncertainty. (he’s being dramatic but at that point in his life he’s never just told people how he feels about them like that)

“OH MY GOD THANK GOD i thought i was going to have a heart attack for saying that out of nowhere”

“YOU’RE gonna have a heart attack??! DUDE warn a woman next time PLEASE” “Wait how long have you,,,,,you know,,,”

“since i’ve thought about it? Since when you asked me to be friends, I THOUGHT WE WERE ALREADY FRIENDS”

“YOU’RE KIDDING”

“Yeah but i only realised that recently, you know you were acting weird i thought you were dying or something, i was worried”

So that’s how the confession ended up happening and afterwards discussing what that means for each other and doing first dates and just laughing at how silly they are. They kept it quiet for a bit but Luke was really quick to catch in that they finally actually got together and was just waiting for Charlie to confess that she actually went and did it.

D&D/Medieval AU Infodump

I have been non stop thinking about this AU it's only fair to let it out of it's cage and let it run around a little, y'know,,,for enrichment.

Mind you I have never even TOUCHED DND so I'm sure my interpretation of things may be wildly off but LOL this is just a big game of pretend so WHO CAREEESSS (i do.)

Luke

Race and a bit of background:

- Human - Next in line to the throne, would much rather go on missions and tasks the Kingdom and the village requests for than prepare to rule over the kingdom (Much to father’s dismay).

Class:

- Fighter - Skills include intimidation and Athletics - Fighting Style: Great Weapon Fighting - Weapons: Sword, Shield and Dagger.

Role/Playstyle/Personality:

- Leader, finds jobs for the party, communicates with the King and such. - Perceived as a someone who isn’t serious about things. But when it comes to protecting himself and those around him, he can become quite scary. Think a dog. - Is the kind to be on the offensive, strike first and with confidence. - The one that does watch duty the most out of the party when they sleep. He has insomnia as is so he tends to stay awake longer than the others.

Dynamics/Relationships (From His POV):

Luke & Charlie: Siblings. Luke is highly protective of her; they have a strong bond and he tends to annoy her for fun. He believes she’s one of the best in what she does and wants her to be able to spend her days pursuing her interests rather than lead, therefore he will eventually take rule no matter how badly he wants to escape that. He tends to work on distraction by attacking head on so that Charlie can cast whatever magic she needs in the safest manner Luke & Jonothan: Thinks he could do a better job than Jonothan protecting Charlie but begrudgingly agrees to have him come along since more man power is always useful, don’t think he doesn’t notice the loving gazes Jonathan and Charlie exchange. Later on, in the campaign when Charlie and Jonothan have been together he starts to tolerate the guy more since he’s proved time and time again, he’s reliable and can protect and provide. He also loves annoying Jonothan. When Jonothan joins in on close range combat, he finds that they are very in tune with each other’s movements since they have had the same training

Charlie

Race and a bit of background:

- Human - Princess who is much more interested in magic and creative tasks than attending etiquette classes. Somehow managed to convince both her father and brother to let her join in on Luke’s Party

Class:

- Artificer - Skills include Arcana and Medicine - Base Spells: Ray of Frost and Firebolt - Weapons: Magic and her Staff (She will use it as a blunt weapon if pushed to do so haha)

Role/Playstyle/Personality:

- Magic assistance, healer of the party. Though not due to interest in such magic. Her magic interest is much more to do in creation of things like golems and useful magic items. - Perceived as a positive person, though can be sensitive, it is not rare to see her cry. - Attacks from mid-range as she does not handle weapons. Her offensive magic is honed to be precise and agile, easily dodging her party but hitting hard on opponents. - When out on quests and there is no inn or place to eat, she tends to be the one to cook things in tandem with Jonothan. - Has skill in sewing and mending. When back home she engages in her interest of fashion and clothing.

Dynamics/Relationships (From Her POV):

Charlie & Luke: Siblings; Sees him as very reliable. Classic sibling annoyance. Trusts him a lot, enjoys the downtime they have. He was always so encouraging about her magic. She does think he needs to be a little less overprotective though, she isn’t exactly defenseless. She does know basic combat from practicing some stuff with Jonothan back in the castle and her magic is nothing to sneeze at. Charlie & Jonothan: Lovers! The pining almost killed her (joking) but after a particular close brush with death for the two they finally confessed to each other. Thinks he’s just the coolest, but he needs to loosen up a little JESUS. Wants nothing more than to spend the rest of her days with the guy, he’s so affectionate whenever they get some downtime. Always seems to catch her when she slips or trips

Jonothan

Race and a bit of background:

- Elf - Employed under the Miller’s as a bodyguard. Specifically, Charlie’s bodyguard, has been that way since the day he could hold a sword. Despite this his specialty is in long range combat. He is the son of a King that cast away him and his mother for another, leaving them with nothing. Ended up in the Miller kingdom and was scouted as a soldier/bodyguard fairly quickly due to his background and being raised with such skills from an early age.

Class:

- Ranger - Skills include, Perception, Insight and athletics. - His fighting style is Archery - Weapons are his military issue Bow & Arrow which he has modified over the years and a Dagger.

Role/Playstyle/Personality:

- Second Line of attack/Cover. Is able to detect movement and attacks faster than the rest. - Is good with directing the party to where they need to go. - Perceived as someone who is difficult to approach. It is difficult to deceive him, he is able to detect when someone is not presenting their true intentions but won’t let you know, making him someone who is difficult to manipulate. - Despite this he is inept in interpersonal relationships such as romance and friendship. He is only good at seeing through a false persona or intention. - Attacks from long range, generally separates from the party to find higher ground to cover them from sides that are missed on the ground. If the situation calls for it, he is trained in Swordplay and defense techniques but is much more skilled from a distance. - Is the second person to keep watch when everyone else is resting, is able to stay awake long enough to cover whoever is next easily. - Is picky with his ingredients for cooking, for that reason joins Charlie on their ingredients collecting for input.

Dynamics/Relationships (From His POV):

Jonothan & Luke: Initially in the beginning of his Party days? Found him absolutely annoying, someone who couldn’t read the room. But also saw that he was able in battle and leadership. Nowadays he tolerates the guy and enjoys when they have sparring sessions since they both learn something but he won’t go out of his way to hang out when they’re not actively on duty. Jonothan & Charlie: I was basically raised to be by your side and protect you. Was the first one to catch feelings, definitely realized the full extent of his feelings last though. Thinks she is incredibly skilled in her specialization. Whenever they work together in battle it feels like they’re an extension of each other, especially when they’re both on long range. Whenever the group has a break between missions, he makes sure to take her out on a date, he really enjoys her company. He wishes they could be together properly but knows politics isn’t always the kindest to lovers of different statuses.

They are rotating in my head like 24/7 aaaaarrrghhhhhhhh

“you can’t keep running off like this”

“who said you had to follow?”

“it’s my job to follow”

“i didn’t hire you”

“you didn’t have to”

Charlie tips her head back, a small laugh escapes her. She starts to idly run her fingers through the small patch of clovers, eyes scanning for any sign of luck she can pluck from the ground.

Jonathan scans their surroundings, relaxing just slightly once certain they are not under watch of anyone or anything. This isn’t the first nor last time he would have to follow Charlie’s little escapes throughout the castle and kingdom.

When they were younger, just reaching their teen years, Charlie (much to her dismay) was to be attending a small gathering in the courtyard. Her Majesty and a small number of her closer friends were having a high tea, an excellent opportunity for a young Charlie to put her etiquette lessons to practise. Jonathan was stationed nearby, monitoring the area for any threats as he was taught to do. First mistake. This was yet to be known to him, but Charlie was not, even for a second, intending on staying at this gathering for long. And a new annoying habit was about to begin, a habit which he could never voice annoyed him, lest he wanted his head to roll.

Finishing his assessment of their surroundings and deeming it safe, he took a glance to Charlie. Who was not there anymore. Oh. OH.

A sharp spear of internal panic ran through his spine, his face nor demeanour showing the thrashing flow of thoughts going through his head at that moment.

Focus.

Out of the corner of his eye he caught movement. Got you.

He casually and calmly moved towards the direction he saw her go off to. Her Majesty much too absorbed in entertaining her company to notice. Rounding the corner, he spots her heading into the hedge maze.

Great.

Making her way through the various turns and dead ends, she finds herself in a corner of the meticulously trimmed hedges that people often miss, with a bench and one of her many notebooks stashed away in a box hidden in the bush. Smiling lightly, she pulls out her notebook and pencil and is about to begin exploring her ideas for honing her artificer items.

“Princess, I strongly suggest returning to the gathering, lest your mother become upset at your absence”

Charlie practically jumped out of her skin. Unfortunately it seems she wrongly assumed this would be the best way to skirt the ever watchful eye of her knight and the incessant silent nagging from her mother to ‘use her etiquette knowledge’. A short huff of annoyance left her.

“Come on, you and I both know that you would rather be doing anything BUT standing there while my mother and her friends chat away about whatever is going on throughout the kingdom.” She looked at him head on, His expression not shifting from the look he always has; slightly scowling, brows and eyes set in a way that feels more and more threatening the longer you look, like he’s ready to bite at any second.

“I would much rather prefer if you would please return to the gathering Miss”

“And if I don’t?”

“Then i have no choice but to take you back by force, I can assure you, your highness, that it will not be difficult for me to do so, but it most definitely will be embarrassing for you”

Charlie’s mind envisioned her being carried by him all the way through the maze and back to the tea party, her cheeks flushed a deep red, her eyebrows furrowing.

“Fine,” She huffed “but i’m not happy about this, i’ll tell mother about this” Turning on her heel she started to head back towards the courtyard.

“Glad to hear you have had a change of heart, i am sure your mother would be delighted to hear that you would much rather not be in attendance of her gatherings.”

Charlie could have sworn she heard a smile through his words, but when she turned around to glare at him, that same stone like expression was still on his stupid stupid face.

“Well done on handling Charlie’s little escape today” An off handed remark from Her Majesty was said as Jonathan was retiring for the night. “Oh come on now don’t look so surprised, she is my daughter after all. She has been doing her best to slip by me from the moment she could crawl, today was the day i pass that responsibility of keeping her where she needs to be from me to you.” Jonathan blinked at her.

“Thank-you your Majesty, i apologise for any inconvenience I may have caused today” He bowed, The queen gently nods her head in return and continues down the hall.

“I remember the first time i tried sneaking off like it was yesterday, you have to admit i’ve gotten better at it” Charlie laughed softly

“i truly wish you wouldn’t” Jonathan replies, joining in on the search. Instantly his eyes land on one, a four leaf clover. He reaches towards it at the exact same time as Charlie does. He instantly retracts his hand at the sudden contact, clearing his throat.

“Sharp eyes Jono, here.” She picks the clover and places it behind his ear. “maybe with this your wish will come true, i doubt it though. I don’t plan on stopping this any time soon”

A gentle exasperated laugh escapes him. “Thank you” he relishes in the casual way they can interact with each other during these little escapes, over the years finding each others company more and more comfortable. “But i do believe it is time to head back your highness”

“aww come on, they definitely haven’t noticed us missing just yet”

“exactly, i would like to keep it that way, come on let’s go” he smiled while offering his hand to help her back up, Charlie gently taking the offer, brushing off her dress of any grass and clovers tangled in the lace.

They return, and it’s like they never even left the hall. Back is the unreadable mask Jonathan wears, and Charlie’s masterful manners and etiquette are on full display again to the company the Castle keeps. But a sharp eye would notice the extra little accessory a knight is wearing.
