It’s a major impediment to getting work done.
Humoured Erik is a rarity. It’s a side hidden beneath impenetrable armour.
Yet slowly he’s let Charles closer-thoughtful conversations, contemplative chess matches, a shoulder to lean on. But when Erik shares a smile or conspiratorial chuckle is when he grants Charles a glimpse inside at the person who’s had to lie dormant until urgent matters are dealt with first, the person he should have been had the world not been so cruel, the person who sees a life with Charles and knows he deserves it.
He hopes Erik never forgets that.
