Summary
“I’m not sayin’ I wanna betray the gang or nothin’ like-”
“I know,” Charles says gently, “But you don’t have to run away from this conversation.”
“… I wasn’t-” Arthur protests weakly but Charles just sighs and Arthur presses his lips together, feeling a bit like a scolded child, “You don’t gotta listen to me whinin’ ‘bout my problems.”
“They’re also my problems,” Charles reminds him quietly, “I don’t know what’s going to happen either.”

Summary
“Calm down,” Arthur mutters, “Just wanna sleep.”
“I can move back-”
“John,” Charles says quietly, then shuffles a little closer, “You’re fine.”
John studies him carefully then glances at Charles’ arm.
“It’s fine, doesn’t even hurt anymore,” Charles murmurs, “Just settle down.”
John slowly reaches out for Charles and wraps his arm over the older man’s waist, leaning his head down against Charles’ shoulder.
Arthur meets his eyes over John’s shoulder and Charles stares right back.
They’ve been in this game for awhile, Arthur trying to act tough and Charles challenging him.

Summary
My submissions for this year's Charthur week, the existence of which I've discovered roughly three days ago, so it shall be known to me as An Exercise In Writing With One Hell Of A Time Constraint.
Also adding a friendly reminder that English isn't my first language, so, well... now you know why my writing looks the way it does! -

Summary
“I… It’s been a long time,” Arthur says, barely above a whisper, “Since I shared a bed with someone.”
Charles hums quietly and shifts the blankets a bit.
“I’m still cold,” Charles says quietly, studying the older man.
Arthur’s cheeks are already pink from being wind-chapped but the older man’s face flushes even deeper.
And Arthur slowly turns to face him.
“How d’you wanna-?” Arthur whispers and his fingertips graze Charles’ forearm.
“Just… Come closer,” Charles says with a bit of amusement, “Then… Whatever’s comfortable.”

Summary
“Oh my God,” Arthur whispers, shoving his soaked hair back from his face.
He’s not expecting Charles to start laughing, in a deep, belly-shaking way, Arthur turning to stare at the younger man incredulously.
Charles has a hand over his eyes and his other arm slung over his stomach as he keeps laughing quietly.
“Charles,” Arthur says quietly, huffing, “This ain’t funny.”
“Why didn’t you just let go?” Charles asks breathily through snickering, “You could’ve just-”
“I know!” Arthur sighs roughly and wipes the water off his face roughly, “I was kinda in shock!”
“You were definitely in shock,” Charles chuckles and drops his hands, “Your face-”
“Can it.”
