Charlie was on cloud nine at the moment. Robert Downey Jr. in his Iron Man costume and Stan Lee could knock on the door and he’d be completely content with staying the way he was: cuddling up with the guy he liked, who happened to be his best friend, watching an awesome movie -- though he was paying little attention to the movie now-- and eating chocolate. Ok, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration. If they were outside Charlie would totally freak out and asks for photos and autographs, and possibly keep the Iron Man costume or ask to become a superhero in a comic. But after that he would totally go to the way he was with Eddie. Charlie knew Eddie would understand.
When Eddie looked up at him, he looked down at him with the same goofy smile he had had since the kiss. He watched his hand move from him to himself a few times and he nodded. “Yeah, we should,” he replied, smiling at him. To be honest, Charlie wasn’t sure if Eddie meant dating or kissing again, but he was okay with both of them. Although he was pretty sure he meant the former. Or maybe he didn’t meant any of them and he had just made a completely fool of himself in his mind, but then again his brain seemed to like doing that lately.

He had to agree with Charlie on the being excited and content. But he would understand the need to geek out. Still, with no such distraction, he was more than content to mouth the lines to the movie as she sat there with a small smile on his face at the feeling of his hands playing with the hair. All things considered, today could not have gone better. Maybe. It could on one aspect and that was why Eddie summoned up the remaining courage points to ask his friend in a very vague way to be his boyfriend. When Charlie agreed, he smiled, then realized he may not be clear on the question. Considering it was already far from smooth, he was not going to try and fix it. Really, like he was ever one to cover up him being spazzy. “So, like… you don’t care if people know, right? I mean it’s cool if you do.”
He meant it, if Charlie wanted it on the down-low for a while. he would be willing to do that. He’d be disappointed but, hey. No point in fighting it. But the boy was having issues not focusing on his friends lips and once his answer came, Eddie tilted his head back up to catch Charlie’s lips again, this time a bit longer.
