Charles x Henry One Shots!

Flirt

IT'S BACK YALL, BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS

Henry's POV:

I stared at my hands while sitting in my best friends helicopter. The mission was a success, but a few things that were said still trotted through my thoughts.

I had tried flirting with Charles over the headset the entire time, and each time he acted like he didn't even realize what exactly I said. I'd only get things like 'thanks Hen!' or 'huh?' as an answer.

With a deep sigh, I decided that I'd just ask Ellie once we got back home. She always had women all over her and I never even saw her really try! I needed to get some tips from the only somewhat expert I knew.

After about an hour, Charles and I had arrived home, finding our friend sitting on the couch. She gave us a quick wave as Charlie announced,

"I'm gonna go take a shower, I feel like I smell like an engine."

I nodded and once again tried to drop a hint, winking as I mentioned,

"I need one as well."

Yet, just like earlier, the attempt bounced right off the pilot, the brunette smiling brightly as he spoke.

"We've got more than one shower, Hen. I know mine has the best water pressure but I won't be long if you're wanting to use that one."

I simply smiled and gave a thumbs up as the man walked away. Once he was out of sight, I flopped down on the recliner, placing my head in my hands. After a second, I heard the redhead speak up.

"You good?"

With a sigh, I looked over to the woman, thinking for a moment before spilling everything at once.

"I'm in love with Charles, but every single time I try to flirt with him it just seems to bounce right off of him. I know that he's a really sweet person, so I'm not sure if he's gently trying to reject me, or if he genuinely doesn't realize that I like him. What do I do, El? You've got what seems like a new chick every week. How do you do it?"

Ellie seemed to think for a moment, muting the tv before voicing her answer.

"Okay, first off, it's obvious you're in love with him. Second off, Charles is a bit..how do I say this nicely? Oblivious. He probably just thinks you're being really kind towards him. Besides, you two already cuddle, give cheek kisses, all that shit. So affection is normal in your friendship. Step up your game, be more obvious with him. And if that doesn't work, just flat out tell him you're in love with him."

I listened closely to her words, knowing that everything my friend was saying was true. I just had to be a little bit more intimate with my flirting, and hope for the best.

Completely lost in thought, I hadn't noticed Charles sneak up behind me, suddenly feeling fingers running through my hair. With a flinch, I turned around, the sight making my face flush red.

The way his wet brunette hair fell around his face, the loose t-shirt that was actually mine falling around his frame, and briefs instead of pants that barely showed from under the shirt.

My thoughts ran completely wild as I stared, unable to wrap my head around the man. I saw Charles' expression shift from a smile to slight concern, telling me,
