'I want you to listen to me. You, Edwin Payne, are my best mate. That will never change. You are the most important person in the world to me.'

@NoBabyDolls "Who are you and what have you done with Edwin?" Charles teased through a massive grin. Himself too, cupping his partner's face by the jawline like he was holding the world's most precious geode.

"I think that's brills, honestly. Where'd you think we could head to?"

@NoBabyDolls might explode." Lightly teases. "I love you so much, Edwin."

@NoBabyDolls have to say anything. I get what you mean. Never once I felt alone with you." Charles' earring merrily dangled next to his neck along with a smile.

"I just wanted to say that you mean the world to me. Always have, always will.

@NoBabyDolls despite being ghosts. He was going to make sure that Edwin felt as much loved as he could just as well.

"I know that I tend to get impulsive but, I've come to realize that I've got to be more open with you, don't I? Niko and Crystal are right."

@NoBabyDolls "You know, with everything that has been going on— ; every case that we take and whatnot— we do happen to risk a lot." Charles softly murmured focusing on the fingers threading his hair and on how this hug was one of the little things that they were able to physically appreciate-

@NoBabyDolls about it but I swear that it makes everything a thousand times better."

@NoBabyDolls Can ghosts turn into ectoplasmic goo from pure happiness? Maybe. Who knows. They could be about to find out.

"Also, I really wanted to kiss." Charles muses as he softly brings Edwin into a cherishing huh. Head now resting against the crook of his partner's neck.

"Dunno what's-

@NoBabyDolls "What if I told you that it's all three all at once?" Crosses both arms over his chest ready to give an explanation.

"Found a small duckling earlier today, separated from his family and I might've accidentally stepped on a few flower beds whilst trying to save it."

Fell's bookshop, no?

Edwin must have gone there for a quick inspection since the letter came to us so out of the blue."

[✦ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 ✦ @DtectivRowland]

He's eyes narrow to a side as if trying to recall a long-lost memory. He's only got small bits and pieces of it really.

"Huh. That must've been then, back when we got a notice from the Ghost Mail about a potential case regarding a bunch of paranormal activity surrounding Mr.-

Flopping on the opposite chaise, making sure it's all in the poker set. The sunglasses glide down the nose just enough to see better, humming. “Mhmm— Unless the bookshop's shelves are that crossable, pretty sure yeah.” Crowley can't help something of a "knowing" smirk there.

Gotta tell Edwin about this one, don't I? Bet he'll love it
