(Henry Stikmin Fanfic)Broken but Loved

New home

(Yay a longish chapter I'm publishing at 1 o'clock in the morning, enjoy my sleep deprived mess Xb)

Galeforce's POV

Flashback
Charles just handed in a transfer request I just stare at it blankly "Why?" was all that came out.

He takes a shallow breath "Well, I uh just feel like I can help there" "I understand that..." looking at the papers laid before me."...it's the fact that you're requesting to go without Stikmin"

He takes a seat on the couch next to my desk then says "I know it sounds weird" I chimed in "weird is one thing but this, is something wrong? What's going on Charlie?"

"Look general I just feel like I can help there" he got up and walked to my desk and leaned on it "and there isn't really much need for Henry there so I thought I would go by myself"

I thought about it for a minute I let out a sigh and look at the fine pilot next to me he would be able to help a lot. I get a pen and I could just partner Henry up with someone else til Charles comes home.

Charlie stops in the doorway "Oh general" I looked up at him he had a face I have never seen "don't tell Henry until after I leave"
End of flashback

I wake up and get ready to do more paperwork. Getting my uniform on sliding my belt on and walking to my kitchen.

If only I knew what would happen; I would've thrown those papers in the fire and called Henry.

One thing i will never forget was the way that strong and mischievous man broke when I told him Charlie left. It could rival the feeling I got when I read the report that Charlie crashed his first helicopter before I knew he was okay.

Eating breakfast, just some toast and milk, not forgetting to brush my teeth after. And walking out the door.

He was so crushed by the mear mention of that pilot. Even if you weren't talking directly at Stikmin and you said Charlies name he would zone out and put himself on autopilot. He got all his missions done but went through several partners and squads.

They all said the same thing 'he's to reckless' 'he doesn't follow orders' 'he's unorganized' 'my cat listens to me more than him' and so on. They just don't know how to work with him.

Pulling out of my driveway and starting the short drive to the building we are set up in with the hope that it's a permanent stay.

When we finally caught Stikmin and sent him to the tophats I was sure he'd betray us. But he didn't instead him and Charlie hit it off they were inseparable. Charlie kept Stikmin in check and Stikmin helped him through whatever weird plan he had.

Now that he's home hopefully they can fix what happened and start again.

Walking into the the building and taking the elevator to my floor. Having officers and agents showing their respect. I was never really comfortable with everyone going silent when I entered a room. But I can push that down and say 'at ease' at every hall I turn into and room I pass.

As I'm about to walk into my office I overhear a couple of men chatting one of them says "yeah, we were told that we were gonna get tested in like an infiltration game" another one chirped "uh huh, but we nev'r got tested so we think it was just to keep us on our toes"

Closing my door with a smirk better stay on your toes

Henry's POV

Charles is jumping up and down in the living room "OH MY GOSH!!! OHMYGOSH!OHMYGOSH! OH MY GOSHHHHH!!!" I calmly walk in and ask "what is it?"

He gives me the biggest smile I wanna melt at the sight but I keep my face. "I think I found the house I want" he's so happy but I don't want you to go I push the thought away "that's great. Where's it at?"

He stops jumping and drags me to the couch setting the laptop on my lap. Its a nice house online "are you going to check it out before you buy?" I said scanning the information to make sure it's not a scam. "Well yeah, I want to make sure it's what I want" he responded "good make sure to check the cabinets. All of them" I advise him.

I remember this apartment I bought it just looking around. But after I had already signed the contract and and payed I found out some cabinets had mold in them. They tried to make me pay for it but. They didn't know how stubborn I was and ended up paying for the installment of new cabinets and lowering the rent for the deception.

Then Charles sat on the couch both feet under him "umm actually" looking at him I don't remember you being so nervous. He just sits there like he was contemplating what to say. "I was hoping you could come with me" he's not lying his body language is telling me he just is really nervous.

...

A guy a little shorter than me leads us into a modernly decorated dining room "and this is my second favorite room" he says in a TV reporter voice. Charles looks at me with twinkling eyes ugh, why do you have to be so cute.

The guide leads Charles down the hall while I check a few things. Like if there are hidden cameras, if the cabinets have any problems and checking plumbing. Just making sure Charles is getting a good house.

"That's so funny" hearing Charles laugh is like a perfect choir. Wow my thoughts are very cheesey.

I follow the laughter into what I think is the master bedroom. It has a bed bigger the a king size with burgundy sheets, blankets and pillows the walls are a creamish color.

Charles is on the bed laid out on his back like a starfish. Then the guide said "well someone can have their world rocked in that bed" giving Charles the eye. Oh buddy, I did not wait two years just to have you give someone I want a suggestive gaze.

Walking over to the bed I lay down next my little cotton candy either Charles didn't pick up the sexual flirt this guy said or he did and was hiding it. I'm going with he did.

Because as soon as I laid down Charles crawled over me putting a knee between my legs looking me with wide eyes and mouthing 'make him stop'. With that I grab his waist flipping us over. Leaning down pretending to cover him with kisses. God do I want to do this for real. I felt Charles have a mini panic attack but plays along.

...

"Thanks for showing us around" Charles shakes the guides hand and gets to the end of the driveway. I turn to him before leaving to join Charles with a twitch in my eye I say "you ever eye him like that again I will find you and break you" then with painted smile on I shake his trembling hand.

Leaving the scarred man to join Charles. When I catch up he slips his hand in mine and says "in case he's still watching". I glance back and he was still watching us I flip him off without Char Char noticing.

"So what did you think of the house?" I ask starting a conversion. He thinks for a minute "well I love it, it was everything I hoped for. So I can't wait to move in" I nod "yeah, ya know at first I thought you didn't notice him checking you out and flirting"

His grip tightens on my hand and I see his face go pale. But it only lasted for a second before he says "well yeah I knew he was flirting I just felt uncomfortable with the way he did it"

I scoff "F-Y-I that's not how you flirt with someone you just meet" all the feelings that I felt when I heard that guy flirt with Charles rush through me. But it all leaves when I hear the little sunshine next to me laugh.

We get to our car that we parked a little ways away. He let's go of my hand to go to the passenger side. We get in and buckle up but I don't start the car. I had to address something "I'm sorry if I scared you on the bed" I say facing a confused brunette.

When it clicked he said "oh" looking at his shoes and mumbling "its fine" I bite my lip damn it Henry you screwed up.

The car ride back to the apartment was uncomfortable silence.

(Wow I can't believe I published a side oneshot and an actual chapter in a week)(I need slep send halp)
