Arthur and Charles each love each other in their own way. None of it involves sex. In the three years they’ve been together, neither of them ever felt the need to question that.

But when other members of the gang do, worried that something’s wrong with them, they’re suddenly forced to.

The answer is shrouded in inky memories of terror and helplessness they’d rather leave buried.

Oh, I guess there's also a power imbalance. He wanted Ethan (who killed most of his family and who is on his way to kill Heisenberg) to sit down, while Heisenberg stands, revealing his frustration and anger while goes on about his life and what he was subjected to by Miranda. And again, when Ethan almost fell back into the pit, and Heisenberg was holding him up, giving him an ultimatum instead of death, and Ethan being the badass he is, is the first to let go.

(Power imbalance. Heisenberg is trying, but Ethan is always on top, figuratively speaking ;) That must be frustrating, tbh.)

I'm just saying, Heisenberg did not stand a chance against an angry protective father willing to take down centuries old monsters for his baby. Lol.

**An overhaul of my first work**

Charles knew that there was some sort of darkness brewing inside of Arthur. He thought that maybe he needed some time alone, but that just drew Charles closer to Arthur. Too close for comfort. But there wasn’t much to be done when it turns out that Dutch’s new golden boy Micah Bell abuses Arthur at every turn under Dutch’s nose. Charles, along with John, know that they need to do something before it gets any worse.
