Summary
Since they'd fallen out of hell, the Night Nurse slamming the door on the awful baby doll demon behind them, Charles had been itching to touch Edwin. And it wasn't like his usual touch-oriented personality just wishing to have some sort of contact. He could control that easily enough after all this time.
No, this was something different.
This felt like a desperation. A need to be in Edwin's personal space, to keep his hands on him. He wanted to wrap his best friend in a hug and never let go, he wanted to sit as close as possible as they heard a new case. He wanted to take Niko’s place as she grabbed Edwin's hand to drag him to watch another one of her shows. He wanted to tuck Edwin against him as they sat on the couch. He would wrap an arm around Crystal and wish it was Edwin, who was merely across the room.
---
After Hell, Charles is terrified of letting Edwin out of his reach for fear that he might get taken away again. He is, of course, being very subtle in his attempts to keep Edwin close.
or
a series of moments when charles can't stop touching edwin to remind himself that he's real and safe, until it all finally catches up to him and he snaps

Summary
After a few more questions and a few more scribbled pages of his notebook, Edwin gets up and puts his chair away.
“Alright then, thank you for your time, Charlie. I must leave you alone, now.”
“Nah, wait. First of all, my name’s actually Charles. Charlie’s just my stage name. Second, now that you’re done with the interview, how about we go out for a drink, yeah? I’m curious to know why a guy like you would choose to spend the show front row.”
That takes Edwin completely off guard. He stops short and freezes. “Pardon?”
“I couldn’t exactly miss you and your friend in bright pink in the middle of my other fans.” Charlie gets up and leans on the chair behind Edwin. “And, you prevented me from eating shit on stage by lacing my shoes. Take that as a thank-you.”
Edwin spins around to face the other man. “Saying thank you would suffice.”
