Charles wasn't sure what he was expecting but Edwin kissing back with such a force apparently wasn't. But he welcomed it, tilting his head to take more, moving closer as Edwin pulled him in.

And oh, the way he was breathless when Edwin pulled away made his heart rush even more. Feeling Edwin's touch on his neck even more intense.

"Sorry, 's just, sorry I know you're annoyed it didn't work, and I know we're gonna solve it, but..." he trailed off in a chuckle, knowing that Edwin wasn't angry at him for the sudden kiss. "I'm not complaining either," he said sliding his arms around Edwin's waist, pulling him close. "Just, had to hold back for a long time, didn't I?"
