Who: Charlie and Kenzi
What: Awkward Times!
When: Friday Afternoon
Where: Charlie's apartment
Rating: PG to PG-13, Most Likely
Status: In Progress
The last time Charlie and seen Kenzi, he'd had a very different living arrangement. He and his brother had shared a modern three-bedroom condo in Irvine. The floor was tiled in marble. In the center of the living room had been a grand piano. Their door had been a freaking elevator!
Then, Liam split.
Now, Charlie's living room doubled as his bedroom AND his kitchen. His bathroom door didn't close on days when the heat made the wood swell. His floor was made of concrete.
It had been a few years since Liam's disappearance and now Charlie believed himself when he said he'd made peace with everything. He didn't hate working in the restaurant. He certainly didn't hate playing in the park with a certain amount of anonymity. Not being famous wasn't a horrible fate. But stumbling on Kenzi on the network had been like stepping on a Lego brick in the dark, and Charlie couldn't deny a certain amount of shock, anger and pain welled up inside of him every time he thought of her.
Even if nothing of what happened was her fault.
He just didn't like being reminded. He didn't like doubting the happiness he'd stumbled upon.
