I cannot keep it in anymore, I have to speak my truth: I think Charles should’ve called Edwin “baby” at least once during that scene where he finds him in that corner in Hell.
So we all agree yes, that Charles sinks through the floor the first time Edwin flirts back, or calls him a pet name, or shows off a bit of ankle in a new outfit.
So I submit to you the idea of Edwin floating a little bit after their first kiss. Like they pull apart and Edwin has this dazed, lovestruck expression and his feet are just an inch off the floor. His heart feels all warm and light as a feather, and the entire day he keeps forgetting to keep his boots firmly on the ground (because he’s thinking of the kiss) until Charles leans in and whispers, “You’re floating again, love.”
Charles is 100% the type of guy who would carry all of their stuff, and when Edwin reaches out a hand to help, he’ll transfer all the stuff into one hand and take Edwins hand in his.
They’re not dating yet, he simply thinks that Edwin wants to hold hands, so why not?
