Hiro had been on the island for several weeks now. He couldn't believe it had almost been a month. It seemed like every day his 'celebrity' sighting list got longer and longer. He was happy enough with his life on the island, but he wouldn't be upset if his powers saw fit to start working again. He really had a lot to catch Ando up on

Charlie hadn't exactly been intending to get into the lift but, when she heard the shout, it startled her so badly that she dropped her laundry basket, spilling her and Ianto's clean clothes across the corridor.

"Oh, damn." She glared at the figure in th lift. "Hiro Nakamura! What the hell do you think you're doin' in there?"

[kensei_yatta]

"CHARLIE!" he exclaimed happily. "I am operating the elevator. Going up?" He gave a silly grin.

"Oh, do you need some help?" he said. He'd been so caught up with his elevator operator job that he hadn't noticed her laundry immediately.

"You could help me, yeah," said Charlie, She didn't have it in her to be irritated with him, though, and she was smiling as she huffed her hair out of her eyes.

"You nearly scared me out of my skin, Hiro. You can't just go yelling at people."

[kensei_yatta]

He hopped out of the elevator and squatted down to help her pick up her things.

"I wasn't yelling, Charlie. I was just exclaiming happily," he said. "Yatta!" he demonstrated at a lower pitch. "See?"

[1000_cranes]

Charlie couldn't help but smile at that. He was just so damn cute. It was difficult to remember that once she'd had pretty amazing sex with this guy.

"Yeah, Hiro. I can see."

[kensei_yatta]

He smiled at her glad she understood and then continued collecting clothing until it was all picked up. He had noticed there were men's garments as well.

"Did you talk to Ianto?"

[1000_cranes]

Charlie picked up a pair of Ianto's boxer shorts, folding them against her chest.

"Yeah, I did." She couldn't keep the little sigh of contentment from her voice. "I'm back at home now."

[kensei_yatta]

He watched her fold the boxer shorts for a moment before realizing he was looking at not only another's underwear, but in fact, the man who was with Charlie. He looked away quickly.

"That's good," he said. He was happy for her. "Everything worked out then?"

[1000_cranes]

Charlie was oblivious to Hiro's discomfort, packing her things away into the little basket that she had especially for carting laundry back and forth.

"Everything's good," she said, with a little nod of her head. "Everything's real good. I'm lucky."

[kensei_yatta]

"Good," he said again. He was glad that she had finished packing up their clothes.

"Charlie, maybe I should move out of your old hut?" he asked awkwardly. He wasn't sure what exactly he should be doing given the current situation. It hadn't bothered him when they'd first reached the conclusion that she feel free to love someone else, but slowly doubt had crept into his mind about his living arrangement.
