Now you're both adults, and he's too scared to ask you out. Why would you like a nerd like him?

His hyperfixations are cosplays and figurines. And a lot of anime. You thought they were normal, though. He was too shy about that. Right...?

You started to notice little things were going missing, hair pins, your favourite lipstick, and even your perfume.

You began searching, and when you couldn't find anything, you got frustrated, grabbing your phone to call König but you paused. Could he have been the culprit? No.. it can't be, he's sweet.

You decide to call him over, and he sounds... way too excited to be with you, but you shrug it off. You're probably overthinking it.

When he comes over, you let him in, his hulking frame barely fitting inside your apartment.

You both lay on your bed, you're ranting, and he's listening. You're only wearing a tanktop and shorts. You're comfortable enough around him not to wear a bra, but your nipples are poking through, and he can't stop staring.

He practically drools all over himself, sporting a tent in his boxers that he covers by crossing his legs, continuing to listen to you speak.

"Ja schatzi, maybe you just lost the lipstick. It could've fallen out of your purse when you took out money." He says, trying to stay calm but blushing like a schoolboy under his black medical mask.

"Huh, maybe you're right Kö. But that means im gonna have to buy a new one." You sigh, laying flat on your back.

"I can buy you another one." He blurts out faster than he can think.

You lift your head excitedly. "Really?"

He nods, fidgeting slightly, and you give him a hug, your chest pressing against his collarbones. Really not helping his boner.

He hugs you back, burying his face into your hair and inhaling deeply.

"You're like a brother to me" you say into his chest and he pauses, thinking of ways to win you over and get out of the siblingzone.

SORRY FOR NOT POSTING, IM A LITTLE BUSY WITH FUNERAL PLANNING AND STUFF.

Love yaaaa

Omgomgomg

Yap time.

He doesn't get the whole 'cats or dogs' debate because he'd be happy getting either one (I can def see him have a dog, though, probably a sort of service dog that helps him be reminded of breaks and such, if he had a cat he'd have it on his lap at all times when working)

He probably doesn't have a favourite colour either. When asked, he just says that he likes colours portrayed in nature, specifically close to water.

Viktor is the type of guy to have a strict rule of no pet names in the lab because he gets too distracted whenever you call him sweetheart or love - he's just not used to it so his mind immediately spirals

Same goes for pda, I don't think he'd like public affection anyway, since he keeps to himself mostly, but he also has a strong rule against it in the lab because he will absolutely melt into a puddle if you do as little as brush your hand over his shoulder lovingly. He is the definition of touch starved.

Speaking of touch starved, no one can convince me that he wouldn't love cuddling. He isn't big on affectionate words, but he definitely shows his love through cuddles or little trinkets he finds or makes for you. He probably finds a random part in the lab and just thinks "oh yeah they'll love this" and brings it to you like a crow

Honestly, he's a little autistic (mecore), so I can definitely see him express love through rants as well. Just him going on for hours about his latest project/invention/discovery, and he will get cranky if you don't listen. It doesn't even matter if you listen attentively. Just do something while he rants, and he'll be happy (let my boy yap)

100% the kinda guy to not get jokes. His humour is so dry that he doesn't get actual jokes, honestly. Especially if they're the type of "would you still love me if I was a worm" kinda joking. He'd fo at it scientifically and give actual standpoints on the question and then you don't have the heart to tell him you were joking.

Will forget to eat, so it's definitely beneficial if you know how to make food (plus points if you learn specifically for him, he'd appreciate it to the moon and back) - also you will have to defend that food from Jayce, who will 100% try to swoop in and steal some.

(Modern AU) Has a whole ass PC set up. I'm talking 3/4 screens and the best working shit you've ever seen. He uses all screens too (which is crazy to me, I have two screens and barely use both at the same time)

(More a headcanon) personally would say he's somewhat asexual and more attracted to men, though he doesn't really care, he barely believes that anyone would like him out of all people anyway

Just him enjoying his free time, spending most of it doing chores while you work, or forcing you to cuddle with him while you're supposed to be working from home.

The thing is, he gets lonely, alright? You're at work for so long, and chores get boring for him fast. So, best idea is a pet. Some strong dog he can play with in your small garden - wrong. Raccoon City and Valdelobos were full of dogs that traumatised him, even though he still likes them, the thought of having to raise one and accidentally having it be aggressive all of a sudden sounds like a nightmare to him.

What do you two get instead? A kitten, obviously. A small little ball of fur that clings to him, sitting on his shoulders at all times (it likes how high up above everything it makes her), and he definitely spoils her. Pets at all times, genuinely pouts when she doesn't want to cuddle, she gets all the treats she wants (like 60% of your paycheck go towards cat treats at this point, it feels like).

I've seen so much stuff about Charles having the "I wish you were a girl" mentality, and I 100% agree.

Like, both Charles and Edwin grew up during times where it was way more difficult to be open and proud about being Queer. Edwin was the first to actually start realising that his feelings were okay because of Niko and Monty (partly the cat king). Meanwhile Charles was after Crystal (and who can blame him she's wonderful) but I personally think Charles just doesn't fully know what being in love feels like

Like, he was at an all boys school. With the fact that he's queer, he's definitely been in love. However, we know his dad was a fucking dick, and I personally think that the reason was also partly Homophobia. Like, yeah people can be assholes for no fucking reason, and hit their kids without any reason at all, but I imagine that Charles maybe hinted at being queer (like. Look at him.) And his father hated that, so Charles just always had the mentality of "this isn't what love feels like" whenever liking a boy. So he meets Crystal, after having no connection to another person his age who wasn't a guy, and he knows they'll be around each other a lot because of her case still having to be solved/ the amnesia and all and he just jumps on the train of "Basically, I HAVE to like her!" (Listen, I think they're cute, genuinely no hate towards their ship or anything, i really love their relationship) Like, Charles definitely knew girls in his time, but he's so clumsy with flirting (or better, old timey becausehe hasnt flirted since the 80s / it feels clumsy to me but i suck at flirting myself so thats that), I partly think that he's never actually had a girlfriend (because how would he bring that girl into a household he didn't feel safe in? Because Charles is the guy to 100% want his partner to feel safe at all times, and he can't guarantee that whenever he's home) he's definitely been a flirt though etc etc we all know what he's like (and that he probably still has some experience- more than Edwin at least, which isn't hard though)

I just think Charles wishes Edwin was a girl because then he wouldn't have to have his inner internalised Homophobia alarmbells ring.

I genuinely hope that in season 2, Charles finds the same way of accepting himself as Edwin did

Also chat I almost have NO historical idea of Homophobia during different times because that's never been something I was interested in (I just want to change things for the better in the future)
