Summary
Charles was 16 when he ran away from home and found himself in the kitchen at Café Vivienne. Caught in the act of stealing a roll of bread, he expected to be arrested. Instead he found a home, a purpose, family.
Of course, none of that lasted. Aunt Vivi—his beloved mentor—died six months ago, and now Charles’s livelihood is under threat when her estranged great nephew—and his former best friend—Edwin, returns to claim his inheritance.
It won’t be a happy reunion.
Crystal snorted. “What did the Lawyer from Hell want? Don’t tell me that prick’s causing problems again? What’s his name? Edward?”
“Edwin,” Charles corrected, the name rolling off his tongue automatically.
Crystal looked at him sharply, her gaze lingering. Charles kept his eyes fixed on the edge of the table. He could imagine what she was thinking, though she could only know the tiniest details. She didn’t know the full story. Even Aunt Vivi hadn’t known that.
“He’s coming here,” he said. “Apparently Aunt Vivi wanted him to stay here for a bit. So, he’s arriving today, though no one’s said anything about how long for, or what he’s planning on doing with the place. Guess I’ll have to ask him that myself when he shows up.”

Summary
As Charles had told Edwin in their first meeting, he was aces with people.
The thing was, he had to be, growing up with an abusive dad. So while his peers learned math and how to flirt, and generally how to be a human being, Charles learned how to read people with uncanny precision. It had been a matter of survival, a skill honed under the oppressive weight of his father’s unpredictable anger.
OR: Charles' terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.

Summary
“There is nothing minimal about our relationship. I will never ask you for more than you are willing to give. And I will never view our friendship as lesser-than just because there is no romantic aspect to it. But I can’t pretend I don’t want it.”
Then he looks at Charles in a way so heartbreakingly tender that it sinks its fingers into the soft flesh of Charles’ heart, its grip constricting when tears pool on Edwin’s lower lashes.
“Because I do want it.” A pause. He swallows, whispers, “I do want you.”
Warnings: there's a little bit of violence in this. Should be in the archive warnings pls keep your minds and hearts safe pookies
