Eric: keep me updated on how you are feeling, let me know if you need anything as I will come straight home and if you are in pain let me know immediately

Charles: Eric you are the sweetest

Eric: that's not what my reputation says

Eric: I'm not sweet, I'm just extremely protective over you

Charles: and I love you for it

Eric: have we gone back to the most random ways ever of saying hello

Eric: fair enough

Eric: so tell me about this bookshelf you want to buy

Charles: well it will go in the living room, it'll only be a small one just so I can keep my  fictional books and my books on genetics separate

Eric: I'll come with you

Charles: really?

Eric: of course, you'll need the help

Charles: I feel like there's more to the story

Eric: well after he said that I shouted "you can insult me all you want as I really couldn't give a fuck however the moment you bring my FIANCÉ into this you and I are going to have big problems"

Eric: everyone was gaping at me however I was too furious to notice
