Summary
There's another little part of Charles—a quiet, shivery, tucked-way-down-deep little part of him—that… that likes it, more than he ought to. A part of him that likes Edwin pressed against him and holding him still and clamping a hand over his mouth to keep him quiet.
All at once, he's thinking back to Hell—but not in the bad way he's been having those thoughts, lately. He's remembering how Edwin did this same thing down there: his hand over Charles's mouth, keepin' him hush.

Summary
I love that the boys have this dynamic where Edwin holds out his hand and Charles just knows to give him whatever thing he needs. Except that sometime after Port Townsend, Edwin turns his hand toward Charles and Charles thinks he wants to hold hands.
They both get a little flustered.

Summary
Edwin spun toward Charles. “Do you need something?”
“I… yeah. You like comics, do you?”
“My tastes are irrelevant,” Edwin said in a practiced tone. “Yours are far more interesting to me. What would you like to read, or watch?” He raised a brow.
“I… whatever comic you like, yeah? I’m a comic fan, too. Love the ones with detectives, like… Watchman, yeah? Those are my favorites.”
Edwin’s eyes gleamed in a way that made Charles want to continue, but he was speechless.
Edwin clicked his tongue. “That is excellent news. I am knowledgeable about that genre; in fact, mystery is the genre that I specialize in."
