Charlie belongs to @sigyn-foxyposts
The two cousins found themselves wandering, to nowhere in particular, just drifting in between the thick oaks. Charlie and Jamie are walking through fallen leaves, the crisp crunches echoing through the wooded area.
âBe careful with the fire this time. I donât think we can explain our way out of you burning down the trees," Charlie commented, folding his arms and giving Jamie some space.
âRelax! No fire today; I learnt my lesson from last time. Today I'm going to work on portal teleportation. I want to get as good as my dad."
Charlie shrugged with a grin. "Alright, Jamie, letâs see what you've got."
The oldest of the Stine triplets nodded, a flicker of blue sparking from his fingers, as a ring of blue circled around the floor. The boy shut his eyes, focusing his energy towards the ring. âHowâs it looking?â he asked, still extending his hands outward.
Charlie peeked over and looked at the portal, seeing a lake where ripples of water bounced along the surface. âPretty good, actually."
Jamie's face lit up. âYESâ
Charlie leant forward, impressed, giving a quiet applause to his cousin. âThatâs something."
Satisfied, Jamie shut the portal and let out a relieved sigh. âThat wasnât so bad."
"Yeah, better than last time," Charlie snickered as he remembered a few months back when Jamie attempted the same move and ended up stuck in a tree. Charlie shook his head, still chuckling.
"You've definitely improved."
That earned a proud smile. "I told you I would."
The two continued deeper into the woods, Jamie occasionally opening tiny portals no larger than dinner plates. One revealed a patch of wildflowers somewhere nearby. Another briefly opened onto a rocky hillside before he closed it again.
Charlie nodded approvingly.
"You're getting a lot more accurate."
"I know! Dad says visualisation helps."
"It looks like it."
Jamie looked over his face, dimming slightly. âYeah, I donât know why this is so much harder, teleporting just me or taking someone with me," Jamie sighed as another one of his portals flickered open and closed just as fast as it came. "When I teleport, I'm picturing where I'm going. Even bringing somebody with me makes sense because I'm still choosing one destination."
Charlie nodded for him to continue.
"But portals..." Jamie rubbed his temple. "It's like I'm trying to hold two places in my head at once. One end here... one end somewhere else... and then keep both of them open. If I lose focus for even a second..."
He snapped his fingers.
"...they collapse."
Charlie scratched the back of his neck.
"I mean...that sounds way harder."
"My dad makes it look easy."
"Your dad also has what..." Charlie grinned. "...like twenty plus years on you?"
Jamie laughed. "Okay, fair."
"And he's probably messed up a thousand times before getting that good."
Jamie shrugged. "I guess."
Charlie nudged him with an elbow.
"You're opening windows to entirely different places, Jamie. The fact that you've even got one staying open for more than a couple seconds is kind of insane."
A small smile returned to Jamie's face.
"You really think so?"
"I know so."
Jamie took a deep breath and stretched his fingers. "One more."
Blue energy gathered around his hands once again, brighter than before. The familiar ring spread across the forest floor. Another portal bloomed into existence, revealing a sunlit meadow somewhere far away. It held steady for nearly five whole seconds before wavering.
"That's longer," Charlie encouraged.
Jamie grinned despite the sweat beginning to bead on his forehead.
"Yeah, I guess it was."
Then, somewhere deeper in the woodsâŚ
Snap.
A twig broke. Both cousins turned towards the sound.
"Well, that isn't good." Charlie looked over with a squint before yanking Jamie closer to him as they backed away into the brush.
Charlie kept one arm protectively in front of Jamie as the two peered through the brush. Another snap echoed through the trees. Then another. The footsteps were slow. Heavy.
Not an animal.
A man emerged from between the oaks dressed in camouflage, an orange hunting vest hanging over his jacket. A rifle rested in his hands as his eyes swept the woods, following the direction the blue light had come from.
He stopped.
His gaze landed directly on the glowing portal. Then on the two boys. His entire body stiffened.
"...What the hell..."
Jamie's concentration broke. The portal vanished with a soft whoosh. For a second, nobody moved.
Charlie forced an awkward smile. "Uh...hey."
The hunter's eyes darted between the boys and the spot where the portal had disappeared.
"You two..." His grip tightened around the rifle. "What did you just do?"
Charlie slowly lifted both hands. "It's...it's not what it looked like."
"It disappeared!"
"I know."
"It was a hole in the air!"
Jamie swallowed hard.
The man took a hesitant step backwards.
"No..." he muttered, more to himself than to them. "No...that isn't possible..."
Then fear overtook confusion. The rifle came up. Jamie's eyes widened. Charlie's stomach dropped.
"Sir!" Jamie said quickly. "Please don't point that at us!"
"What the hell are you?!" the hunter shouted, his voice cracking. "Stay back!"
"We're just kids!"
"I said, 'Don't move!'"
The barrel trembled as it shifted between them. Jamie's breathing became shallow. His pulse pounded in his ears.
He's going to shoot.
Charlie slowly stepped in front of him. âLOOK JUST BACK AWAY, PLEASE."
The manâs finger rattled on the trigger, the clicks of metal clinking in their ears.
Oh god. Oh god. Heâs going to shoot.
Blue light exploded beneath the hunter's boots.
"What theâ?!"
The forest floor disappeared.
The man dropped with a startled yell, arms flailing as he fell into the glowing portal.
The portal shook violently. Its edges flickered erratically. Jamie threw both hands forward, desperately trying to stabilise it.
"No...come on..."
The hunter was still falling.
His body disappeared through the openingâ
Then his shoulders.
His neck.
The portal contracted.
Blue sparks burst from Jamie's fingertips as panic destroyed his concentration.
The portal shrank again, and the ring snapped shut.
Silence.
Then a hard wet thud followed as a hot splat hit the side of their cheeks, a large amount coating Jamieâs left side and dripping onto his sneakers.
Jamie's hands slowly fell to his sides, shaking uncontrollably.
"...Charlie?"
His voice barely came out as a whisper.
"I..."
He stared at the empty patch of leaves where the portal had been. Then slowly drifted his eyes towards the stone-like figure that rolled to the side.
"I didn't mean..." he couldnât continue; he simply stared, horror spreading across his face as the realisation settled over both of them.
Charlie rushed over, moving Jamieâs eyes from the scene to his. âHey, hey, look at me. Youâre okay. Weâre okay. Weâre safe."
Jamie's neck turned back towards the head, clean-cut veins pulsing, as it oozed out streams of crimson into the leaves and dirt beneath. âHe isn't... IâI just... killed that guy... with my magic."
There went his breathing. His chest rising and falling much faster than it had before, his lungs contracting and refusing air to enter, his limbs wanting to ball up tight and rest on the ground, but his body wouldnât allow it. His knees were locked, as if needles tapped each one of his joints and snapped away at the ends so each miniature javelin remained locked within the skin.
Charlie grabbed both of Jamie's shoulders before he could look back again.
"Jamie."
The younger teen didn't answer. His eyes stayed fixed somewhere over Charlie's shoulder, unfocused now, as if he couldn't stop seeing what had happened.
"Jamie!"
Nothing. His breathing only grew sharper. Shorter.
Every inhale caught halfway down his throat before another desperate gasp replaced it. His hands trembled so violently his fingertips clicked against one another.
"I..." His voice fractured. "I...I..."
Charlie immediately recognised it.
"Oh no."
A panic attack.
He tightened his grip just enough to keep Jamie grounded. "Jamie, stay with me."
Jamie's vision blurred. The trees warped together until the forest became nothing but streaks of green and brown. Every heartbeat slammed against his ribs hard enough to hurt.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
His ears rang.
"I killed him..."
"No." Charlie's voice stayed calm despite the anxiety clawing at his own chest. "Listen to me."
"I killed him!"
His voice cracked into something almost unrecognisable: "I-I was just trying to make him go away! I didn'tâI didn't wantâ"
His sentence dissolved into another ragged gasp. His legs finally gave out. Charlie caught him before he hit the ground, lowering him onto the blanket of leaves.
"You're breathing too fast."
"I c-can'tâ"
"Yes, you can."
"I c-can't..."
Charlie's own heartbeat was racing, but he forced himself to stay steady.
Charlie gently cupped the sides of Jamie's face, keeping his gaze forward.
"Don't look over there."
Jamie's eyes immediately tried to wander back towards the motionless body. Charlie shifted, blocking his line of sight completely.
"No."
A tear finally escaped Jamie's eye.
"I...I used my magic..."
His entire body shook.
"IâI hurt him..."
Another sob broke free.
"And I..."
He couldn't finish.
Charlie pulled him into a tight hug before the words could leave his mouth. Jamie's hands instinctively grabbed onto the back of Charlie's jacket with desperate strength, as though it were the only solid thing left in the world. Charlie wrapped both arms around him without hesitation, one hand settling against the back of Jamie's head.
His fingers twisted tighter into the fabric of Charlie's jacket until his knuckles turned white. "I didn't..." Jamie sucked in another uneven breath, his words breaking apart between gasps. "I didn't think the portal wouldâ"
His throat closed. The sentence died there. Charlie could feel Jamie trembling from head to toe. Violently shaking, as if every muscle in his body had forgotten how to be still.
"Listen to me," Charlie said quietly. "You weren't trying to hurt him."
Jamie's head shook rapidly against his shoulder.
"But I did..."
"I know."
"I killed somebody..."
Charlie closed his eyes for a brief moment.
There wasn't a lie he could tell that would make this disappear. So instead he spoke the truth he could offer: "You were trying to protect us."
Jamie's breathing hitched again. "I panicked..."
"I know."
"I couldn't control it..."
"I know."
Jamie's gaze dropped to the forest floor. For the first time since the portal had closed, he stopped fighting the sobs. They came quietly now, his shoulders shaking as he buried his face against Charlie's chest once more. Charlie held him there, one hand rubbing slow circles across his back. âJust breathe, okay?"
"O-Okay."
He drew in a slow breath the way Charlie had shown him. It made it halfway into his lungs before breaking apart into a shaky exhale.
Jamie nodded weakly against his shoulder.
"In..."
A trembling inhale.
"...and out."
The exhale shook so badly it almost sounded like another sob.
"There you go."
For nearly a minute neither of them spoke. The only sounds were Jamie's uneven breathing and the quiet rustle of leaves as the breeze returned to the forest. Little by little, the panic loosened its grip. His hands, still clenched in Charlie's jacket, slowly relaxed. His breathing remained shaky but no longer came in frantic gasps.
Charlie waited until he felt the trembling lessen before speaking again.
"Can you stand?"
Jamie hesitated.
"...I think so."
Charlie kept an arm around him as Jamie carefully pushed himself upright.
His knees wobbled.
Charlie caught him before he could stumble.
"I got you."
Jamie nodded numbly.
"...Thanks."
"Jamie, I think we should call your dad."
The younger teen swallowed hard. "HâHeâs going to hate me." Jamie's shoulders immediately tensed again.
Charlie answered without hesitation, âNo."
"I killed someone."
"You made a mistake while trying to protect us."
Jamie's jaw trembled. "Thatâs not an excuse."
Fresh tears welled in Jamie's eyes. "I don't feel like me anymore."
Charlie reached over and gently rested a hand on the back of his neck.
"You are still you."
Jamie didn't answer.
The silence stretched between them.
Finally, after several long seconds, Jamie gave one tiny nod.
"...Can you...can you call him?"
Charlie squeezed his shoulder reassuringly.
"Yeah, of course I can."
âŚ
Years passed after that day. Both boys decided it was best to leave things better left unsaid. Both grew and changed, and voices broke and fluctuated. Heights changed, faces matured, childhood features faded into adulthood. Scars appeared where there hadn't been any before, and responsibilities replaced carefree afternoons spent wandering the woods.
Charlie, hair longer now and reminiscent of his father back in the day, had been attending to private matters, with screams often being the byproduct. He just needed to blow off steam; however, tonight he was reckless. The building of recent stress and sudden gleeful release blinded him to prying eyes.
âHANDS IN THE AIRâ
"Shit."
âHANDS IN THE FUCKING AIR," the voice snapped again.
Inexperience. Charlie grumbled silently to himself. He could hear the faint rattles of the metal in the officerâs hands. He knew that pointer finger was ready to pull back the trigger if he made one wrong move.
"Fuck," he signed, slowly raising his stained hands.
âJesusâŚturn the fuck around."
Charlie obeyed much to his muted annoyance. Already chastising himself for his carelessness.
âGet on your knees."
âThat reallyââ
"KNEES, YOU FREAK."
Charlie bit back an eyeroll. "Yeah, heard that before," he muttered as he begrudgingly complied.
âYouâre undeââ
The cop stiffened as he found himself locked, joints unable to move and plastered. âWhat the fucââ
The body dropped through a familiar ring before slicing clean through the spinal cord, letting the head fall free from the body before it too fell through another cyan ring, leaving nothing behind but the clean pavement.
The only evidence anyone had been there was the abandoned flashlight rolling lazily across the pavement before coming to a stop.
Silence settled over the alley.
Charlie stared.
"...Jamie?"
Another portal rippled open a few steps away.
Out stepped Jamie.
He was older now, the restless energy of his teenage years worn smooth by time. His dark auburn hair was pushed back from his face, his eyes widening, still processing what the hell he just did.
The blue light around his fingertips faded as Charlie slowly rose to his feet. For a long moment, neither cousin spoke. Jamie's eyes searched Charlie's face first, making sure he was fineâŚphysically at least.
"Are you okay?"
Charlie looked at him, then towards the place where the officer had vanished.
Jamie's jaw tightened.
"I wasn't going to let himâŚya know."
Charlie took a slow breath.
"Jamie..."
The young man took a single breath. âIâI know Uncle Chuck raised you to be... fine with..." He swallowed. "...that."
His eyes stayed fixed on Charlie instead.
"But me..."
His voice faltered.
"I'm not."
A beat of silence.
"I don't want to think about it. I understand itâs part ofâŚyour family, and I respect that, and I still love you like a brotherâŚb-but I can't, Charlie. I canât partake in thisâŚ"
Charlie slowly glanced over his shoulder. He'd seen death before. Enough times that it no longer shocked him the way it once had. He signed, the guilt of exposing it to Jamie startled to bubble up in this chest.
Turning back, he stepped closer to Jamie.
"You don't have to."
Jamie's brow furrowed.
"I mean it."
Charlie rested a hand on his cousin's shoulder.
"Just because I've got used to seeing things like this doesn't mean I expect you to."
Jamie's shoulders sagged, as though he'd been holding himself rigid for far too long.
"I still hate it."
"I know."
"I hate that this keeps happening. I only did because he saw your faceâŚIâI couldnât risk it."
"I know, and Iâm sorry."
Jamie lowered his head, his shoulders still sagging downward. âThen can you do me a favour?"
âYeah, what do you need?â
When he finally spoke, his voice was barely above a whisper.
"Can you take care of it?" he weakly gestured to the body behind Charlie, still unable to bring himself to look at it.
Charlie followed his gaze.
He knew exactly what "it" meant. Jamie never looked in that direction.
He couldn't.
"I..."
His throat tightened.
"I just...I can't see it."
Charlie looked back at his cousin.
Jamie's hands had begun to tremble againâŚnot with panic this time, but with quiet dread.
"I know it's pathetic."
"It isn't."
"I don't want..." Jamie swallowed hard. "I don't want that to be the last thing I remember tonight."
Charlie studied him for a moment before giving a slow nod.
"You don't have to."
Jamie's eyes finally met his.
"I'll handle it," Charlie said gently. "You stay here."
Jamie let out a breath he hadn't realised he'd been holding.
"...Thank you."
Charlie gave his shoulder one last reassuring squeeze.
âAnd CharlieâŚâ
âYeah?â
âI know you don't really do this for the aftermath of yourâŚhobby, butâŚcan you just give them a good send-offâŚa respectful disposing ofâŚâ
Charlie looked over, his eyes drifting back and forth between the two. "Yeah, I can do that. You have my word."
âThank you," he managed as he pulled away slightly. "Please, before I go to bed tonightâŚcan you swing by cleaned up⌠IâI donât want this sight of you to be the last one I have of you today."
Charlie reached over and gave the side of Jamie's head a gentle pat, just like he had when they were kids.
"I'll shower."
Jamie gave a tiny nod.
"I'll change."
Another nod.
"And then I'll come over."
A long silence settled between them.
"I'll bring food, too," Charlie added with the faintest hint of a smile. "You always forget to eat after... stressful days."
Despite everything, the corner of Jamie's mouth twitched upward.
"Maddie, will be happy to hear that. Today is her cheat day,â he smiled as he wiped his eyes. "She's been trying to cut the junk so she can fit âperfectlyâ into her wedding dress.â
Charlie shrugged.
"Sometimes greasy food is the closest thing to therapy."
A quiet, breathy laugh escaped Jamie before it dissolved into a shaky sigh.

The barrel trembled as it shifted between them. Jamie's breathing became shallow. His pulse pounded in his ears.
He's going to shoot.
Charlie slowly stepped in front of him. âLOOK JUST BACK AWAY, PLEASE."
The manâs finger rattled on the trigger, the clicks of metal clinking in their ears.
Oh god. Oh god. Heâs going to shoot.
Blue light exploded beneath the hunter's boots.
"What theâ?!"
The forest floor disappeared.
The man dropped with a startled yell, arms flailing as he fell into the glowing portal.
The portal shook violently. Its edges flickered erratically. Jamie threw both hands forward, desperately trying to stabilise it.
"No...come on..."
The hunter was still falling.
His body disappeared through the openingâ
Then his shoulders.
His neck.
The portal contracted.
Blue sparks burst from Jamie's fingertips as panic destroyed his concentration.
The portal shrank again, and the ring snapped shut.
Silence.
Then a hard wet thud followed as a hot splat hit the side of their cheeks, a large amount coating Jamieâs left side and dripping onto his sneakers.
Jamie's hands slowly fell to his sides, shaking uncontrollably.
"...Charlie?"
His voice barely came out as a whisper.
"I..."
He stared at the empty patch of leaves where the portal had been. Then slowly drifted his eyes towards the stone-like figure that rolled to the side.
"I didn't mean..." he couldnât continue; he simply stared, horror spreading across his face as the realisation settled over both of them.
Charlie rushed over, moving Jamieâs eyes from the scene to his. âHey, hey, look at me. Youâre okay. Weâre okay. Weâre safe."
Jamie's neck turned back towards the head, clean-cut veins pulsing, as it oozed out streams of crimson into the leaves and dirt beneath. âHe isn't... IâI just... killed that guy... with my magic."
There went his breathing. His chest rising and falling much faster than it had before, his lungs contracting and refusing air to enter, his limbs wanting to ball up tight and rest on the ground, but his body wouldnât allow it. His knees were locked, as if needles tapped each one of his joints and snapped away at the ends so each miniature javelin remained locked within the skin.

A panic attack.

Jamie's vision blurred. The trees warped together until the forest became nothing but streaks of green and brown. Every heartbeat slammed against his ribs hard enough to hurt.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
His ears rang.
"I killed him..."
"No." Charlie's voice stayed calm despite the anxiety clawing at his own chest. "Listen to me."
"I killed him!"
His voice cracked into something almost unrecognisable: "I-I was just trying to make him go away! I didn'tâI didn't wantâ"
His sentence dissolved into another ragged gasp. His legs finally gave out. Charlie caught him before he hit the ground, lowering him onto the blanket of leaves.
"You're breathing too fast."
"I c-can'tâ"
"Yes, you can."
"I c-can't..."
Charlie's own heartbeat was racing, but he forced himself to stay steady.
Charlie gently cupped the sides of Jamie's face, keeping his gaze forward.
"Don't look over there."
Jamie's eyes immediately tried to wander back towards the motionless body. Charlie shifted, blocking his line of sight completely.
"No."
A tear finally escaped Jamie's eye.
"I...I used my magic..."
His entire body shook.
"IâI hurt him..."
Another sob broke free.
"And I..."
He couldn't finish.
Charlie pulled him into a tight hug before the words could leave his mouth. Jamie's hands instinctively grabbed onto the back of Charlie's jacket with desperate strength, as though it were the only solid thing left in the world. Charlie wrapped both arms around him without hesitation, one hand settling against the back of Jamie's head.
His fingers twisted tighter into the fabric of Charlie's jacket until his knuckles turned white. "I didn't..." Jamie sucked in another uneven breath, his words breaking apart between gasps. "I didn't think the portal wouldâ"
His throat closed. The sentence died there. Charlie could feel Jamie trembling from head to toe. Violently shaking, as if every muscle in his body had forgotten how to be still.
"Listen to me," Charlie said quietly. "You weren't trying to hurt him."
Jamie's head shook rapidly against his shoulder.
"But I did..."
"I know."
"I killed somebody..."
Charlie closed his eyes for a brief moment.
There wasn't a lie he could tell that would make this disappear. So instead he spoke the truth he could offer: "You were trying to protect us."
Jamie's breathing hitched again. "I panicked..."
"I know."
"I couldn't control it..."
"I know."
Jamie's gaze dropped to the forest floor. For the first time since the portal had closed, he stopped fighting the sobs. They came quietly now, his shoulders shaking as he buried his face against Charlie's chest once more. Charlie held him there, one hand rubbing slow circles across his back. âJust breathe, okay?"
"O-Okay."
He drew in a slow breath the way Charlie had shown him. It made it halfway into his lungs before breaking apart into a shaky exhale.
Jamie nodded weakly against his shoulder.
"In..."
A trembling inhale.
"...and out."
The exhale shook so badly it almost sounded like another sob.
"There you go."
For nearly a minute neither of them spoke. The only sounds were Jamie's uneven breathing and the quiet rustle of leaves as the breeze returned to the forest. Little by little, the panic loosened its grip. His hands, still clenched in Charlie's jacket, slowly relaxed. His breathing remained shaky but no longer came in frantic gasps.
Charlie waited until he felt the trembling lessen before speaking again.
"Can you stand?"
Jamie hesitated.
"...I think so."
Charlie kept an arm around him as Jamie carefully pushed himself upright.
His knees wobbled.
Charlie caught him before he could stumble.
"I got you."
Jamie nodded numbly.
"...Thanks."
"Jamie, I think we should call your dad."
The younger teen swallowed hard. "HâHeâs going to hate me." Jamie's shoulders immediately tensed again.
Charlie answered without hesitation, âNo."
"I killed someone."
"You made a mistake while trying to protect us."
Jamie's jaw trembled. "Thatâs not an excuse."
Fresh tears welled in Jamie's eyes. "I don't feel like me anymore."
Charlie reached over and gently rested a hand on the back of his neck.
"You are still you."
Jamie didn't answer.
The silence stretched between them.
Finally, after several long seconds, Jamie gave one tiny nod.
"...Can you...can you call him?"
Charlie squeezed his shoulder reassuringly.
"Yeah, of course I can."
âŚ
Years passed after that day. Both boys decided it was best to leave things better left unsaid. Both grew and changed, and voices broke and fluctuated. Heights changed, faces matured, childhood features faded into adulthood. Scars appeared where there hadn't been any before, and responsibilities replaced carefree afternoons spent wandering the woods.
Charlie, hair longer now and reminiscent of his father back in the day, had been attending to private matters, with screams often being the byproduct. He just needed to blow off steam; however, tonight he was reckless. The building of recent stress and sudden gleeful release blinded him to prying eyes.
âHANDS IN THE AIRâ
"Shit."
âHANDS IN THE FUCKING AIR," the voice snapped again.
Inexperience. Charlie grumbled silently to himself. He could hear the faint rattles of the metal in the officerâs hands. He knew that pointer finger was ready to pull back the trigger if he made one wrong move.
"Fuck," he signed, slowly raising his stained hands.
âJesusâŚturn the fuck around."
Charlie obeyed much to his muted annoyance. Already chastising himself for his carelessness.
âGet on your knees."
âThat reallyââ
"KNEES, YOU FREAK."
Charlie bit back an eyeroll. "Yeah, heard that before," he muttered as he begrudgingly complied.
âYouâre undeââ
The cop stiffened as he found himself locked, joints unable to move and plastered. âWhat the fucââ
The body dropped through a familiar ring before slicing clean through the spinal cord, letting the head fall free from the body before it too fell through another cyan ring, leaving nothing behind but the clean pavement.
The only evidence anyone had been there was the abandoned flashlight rolling lazily across the pavement before coming to a stop.
Silence settled over the alley.
Charlie stared.
"...Jamie?"
Another portal rippled open a few steps away.
Out stepped Jamie.
He was older now, the restless energy of his teenage years worn smooth by time. His dark auburn hair was pushed back from his face, his eyes widening, still processing what the hell he just did.
The blue light around his fingertips faded as Charlie slowly rose to his feet. For a long moment, neither cousin spoke. Jamie's eyes searched Charlie's face first, making sure he was fineâŚphysically at least.
"Are you okay?"
Charlie looked at him, then towards the place where the officer had vanished.
Jamie's jaw tightened.
"I wasn't going to let himâŚya know."
Charlie took a slow breath.
"Jamie..."
The young man took a single breath. âIâI know Uncle Chuck raised you to be... fine with..." He swallowed. "...that."
His eyes stayed fixed on Charlie instead.
"But me..."
His voice faltered.
"I'm not."
A beat of silence.
"I don't want to think about it. I understand itâs part ofâŚyour family, and I respect that, and I still love you like a brotherâŚb-but I can't, Charlie. I canât partake in thisâŚ"
Charlie slowly glanced over his shoulder. He'd seen death before. Enough times that it no longer shocked him the way it once had. He signed, the guilt of exposing it to Jamie startled to bubble up in this chest.
Turning back, he stepped closer to Jamie.
"You don't have to."
Jamie's brow furrowed.
"I mean it."
Charlie rested a hand on his cousin's shoulder.
"Just because I've got used to seeing things like this doesn't mean I expect you to."
Jamie's shoulders sagged, as though he'd been holding himself rigid for far too long.
"I still hate it."
"I know."
"I hate that this keeps happening. I only did because he saw your faceâŚIâI couldnât risk it."
"I know, and Iâm sorry."
Jamie lowered his head, his shoulders still sagging downward. âThen can you do me a favour?"
âYeah, what do you need?â
When he finally spoke, his voice was barely above a whisper.
"Can you take care of it?" he weakly gestured to the body behind Charlie, still unable to bring himself to look at it.
Charlie followed his gaze.
He knew exactly what "it" meant. Jamie never looked in that direction.
He couldn't.
"I..."
His throat tightened.
"I just...I can't see it."
Charlie looked back at his cousin.
Jamie's hands had begun to tremble againâŚnot with panic this time, but with quiet dread.
"I know it's pathetic."
"It isn't."
"I don't want..." Jamie swallowed hard. "I don't want that to be the last thing I remember tonight."
Charlie studied him for a moment before giving a slow nod.
"You don't have to."
Jamie's eyes finally met his.
"I'll handle it," Charlie said gently. "You stay here."
Jamie let out a breath he hadn't realised he'd been holding.
"...Thank you."
Charlie gave his shoulder one last reassuring squeeze.
âAnd CharlieâŚâ
âYeah?â
âI know you don't really do this for the aftermath of yourâŚhobby, butâŚcan you just give them a good send-offâŚa respectful disposing ofâŚâ
Charlie looked over, his eyes drifting back and forth between the two. "Yeah, I can do that. You have my word."
âThank you," he managed as he pulled away slightly. "Please, before I go to bed tonightâŚcan you swing by cleaned up⌠IâI donât want this sight of you to be the last one I have of you today."
Charlie reached over and gave the side of Jamie's head a gentle pat, just like he had when they were kids.
"I'll shower."
Jamie gave a tiny nod.
"I'll change."
Another nod.
"And then I'll come over."
A long silence settled between them.
"I'll bring food, too," Charlie added with the faintest hint of a smile. "You always forget to eat after... stressful days."
Despite everything, the corner of Jamie's mouth twitched upward.
"Maddie, will be happy to hear that. Today is her cheat day,â he smiled as he wiped his eyes. "She's been trying to cut the junk so she can fit âperfectlyâ into her wedding dress.â
Charlie shrugged.
"Sometimes greasy food is the closest thing to therapy."
A quiet, breathy laugh escaped Jamie before it dissolved into a shaky sigh.
Okay so I just wanna make things clear. Stay away from minors. Period. If you are a pervert, expose minors to explicit content, sexualize or put pressure kids or partake in any of that disgusting heinous activity. Get the fuck off my page. This is especially present within the Childâs play fandom and honestly horror in general. People you all need to do better. Seriously. Iâve had my moments where Iâve just thought might as well leave and just got off the fandom train and leave all the unfortunate disgusting ties that often come with it. However, instead I rather have my blog be a safe space for ALL people, that avoids and is spared of the BS Iâve been exposed to during my time here. I would hate for an unsuspecting minor or young adult to have an interest ruined from sheer toxicity and vial environment this fandom has.
That is why everything here stays PG and if it were to exceeded to something a little more there will ALWAYS be a warning. I do not write smut or explicit sexual scenes. At most it might reach a PG-16. Let that be clear. The amount of times Iâve been asked/pressured to write Smut involving minors in the childâs play fandom WHILE I MYSELF WAS A MINOR at the time is horrendous.
Hence will I prefer to keep this space a place where people of all ages can partake and just have fun, because at the end of the day that was the whole point of starting this blog. To have fun. I feel like nowadays many people forget about that and let things spiral and let something they once loved and enjoy turn sour and nasty. Itâs sad to see and itâs sad seeing so many people who once loved being in the fandom for the characters and for the people to drew and wrote to just vanish after being exposed and harassed. Itâs truly disheartening.
