[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

/ i get on here like every 6 months bc i decide i miss writing charlie

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

hands shaking. it’s been a while.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

comfort.

“i’m glad you’re still around, too. i missed you.” spoken with warm. he’ll admit what he’s been thinking. “i plan on being around more. might be beneficial for both of us.”

he nearly declares that he wants to keep them safe. that feels like too great of a confession.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

truth be told, he does feel safe with her. it’s serene, perhaps something he hasn’t experienced since before the bombs fell.

some part of him wants to offer his hand. charlie has never been the overtly shy type, but he can’t quite help himself. it’s a silent plea for more +

Familiarity is security — it helped, incredibly so. An ailment to an ailing mind, so wrought with trauma that had been contained within the steel trappings of a hardened exterior.

“ I’m glad you’re still around. ” an admission? Slight shift of eyes, realization on what they’d —

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

his expression remains warm, unable to hide his own eagerness at seeing her again. it’s nice. the familiarity helps, too.

“i’ve been well, have you been holding up? i’m sorry i was away for so long.”

[࿐ Tʜᴇ Bᴀᴘᴛɪsᴛ @FaceOfHoliness]

As it settled, Aisling used the opportunity to hide the humor of the situation. Focusing eyes upon his now hatless figure, another change from the usual darting — security.

“ How’ve you been? Been awhile. ”

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

fortunately for her, charlie’s never been particularly perceptive. it’s noted either way, but mistaken for the sun.

“you just know i’m right, cowpoke.” it’s paired with finger guns. he keeps the hat on for a moment longer, before gently placing it back onto her head.

[࿐ Tʜᴇ Bᴀᴘᴛɪsᴛ @FaceOfHoliness]

Flattery? It brought a slight rosy color to her sun-kissed cheeks, easily mistakable for the burns from harsh UV — discernible still, for perceptive eyes.

“ Whatever you say, pard’er. ” playful, but reeled in. Slight drawl overtaking the normal, barely accented speech.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

soft snort slips. careful hand adjusts the hat ever - so - slightly.

“i find that awful hard to believe. it looked perfect on you.” still, there’s a crooked grin on his face. he loved cowboys growing up.

[࿐ Tʜᴇ Bᴀᴘᴛɪsᴛ @FaceOfHoliness]

No words, just action. The gentle placing of it atop his head, smushing it down to ensure he’d have issue taking it off.

“ Looks better on you. ”

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

expression softens — it’s sweet of them to offer. charlie simply keeps his eyes fixed on that hat for a moment, trying to decide if he should take it.

“you’re incredibly sweet, aisling. i wouldn’t want to take it from you, though.”

[࿐ Tʜᴇ Bᴀᴘᴛɪsᴛ @FaceOfHoliness]

Fingers closed around the dent, one pressed gently against the crown as it was pulled off their head. Ruffling hair as consequence, providing a more untamed look to an otherwise prim appearance.

Offered out, hardened features softened ever-so-slightly.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

oh, she’s an angel. he’ll forever be in her debt for this.

maybe they can match.

[࿐ Tʜᴇ Bᴀᴘᴛɪsᴛ @FaceOfHoliness]

In an abandoned building close to the monorail on the way Nuka-World, most certainly a relic from Blood Gulch past.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

where did she find it?

he hasn’t been able to find ( any. * )

[࿐ Tʜᴇ Bᴀᴘᴛɪsᴛ @FaceOfHoliness]

Yeehaw — cowboy hat time.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

i bet you thought you’ve seen the last of me.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

yawns. good to be up, at least.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

take some. i’ve got more than i know what to do with.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐎𝐑. @VAULTDWELLED]

do you need some of mine?
