Henry slid closer to Jasper as they walked to Charlotte’s house. The silence between them was comfortable, safe. Jasper hummed to himself quietly, his hand finding Henry’s instinctively, his fingers sliding between Henry’s.
Henry smiled, giving him a gentle squeeze in return.
“Do you think Char’s okay?” Henry asked, his gaze sliding to Jasper.
“I hope so, I mean it couldn't have been fun being stuck in there all day,” Jasper says quietly.
“God, she’s probably so pissed at me.” Henry murmured, his eyes downcast.
“Hey,” Jasper stops them, slipping in front of Henry.
His hand reached up to cup Henry’s cheek.
“It was an accident, yeah? I don’t think Char’s gonna blame you for any of this okay babe?” Jasper smiled at him, even though Henry felt like he didn’t deserve it.
“I guess, I really just hope she’s okay,” Henry shrugs, tugging Jasper forward so they could keep walking.
“She’s our Char, she’s strong.” Jasper says assertively, allowing himself to be pulled forward.
“I know, and you’re right, I just really wanna see her to confirm that you know?” Henry softly answers.
“No, I know that, I feel the same way H,” Jasper, knowing his boyfriend was anxious, made them pick up their pace a bit.
They got to Charlotte’s house within three minutes, Jasper rang the door, stepping back and dropping Henry’s hand when the door was opened. It wasn’t anything personal, it’s just… this relationship between the three of them was new, they weren't telling anyone yet.
They both breathed out a sigh of relief when they saw it was Charlotte who opened the door. She looked fresh out of the shower, her hair wrapped up, and she was in some sweats. Jasper’s heart melted when he noticed she was wearing his shirt.
“Hey Char,” Henry breathed, his eyes lit up happy upon seeing her, standing there mostly okay.
“Hey babes, what’re you doing here?” Her lips quirk up in wonder.
“What are we—… we wanted to make sure you’re okay after being trapped in a fucking vacuum all day!” Henry huffed out.
Charlotte’s mouth dropped open a tiny bit, her eyes searching his face.
“Oh hey, Hen, I’m okay, baby, hey c’mere.” She tugs them inside, closing the front door behind them shut.
As soon as the door was shut behind them, Henry yanked Charlotte into his arms, like he wanted to do when she had first shot out of the vacuum earlier.
She gave a tiny squeak of surprise before melting into his arms. Jasper watched them fondly, knowing that Henry needed this more than he did right now. Charlotte and Henry, however, didn’t feel the same.
She waved him closer from behind Henry’s back, Jasper smiled, going to sandwich her between the two of them.
Exactly where she should be.
“Char, God I’m so sorry, I’m so fucking sorry for trapping you in there baby. I didn’t mean to, can you forgive me?” Henry mumbled into her shoulder.
She pulls away enough to catch his watery big brown eyes. She feels her heart soften instantly, and she smiles up at him.
“Haz, there’s nothing to forgive, it was an accident.” He nuzzled into her hand, his eyes unsure and searching hers.
Looking for the lie, Charlotte let him, knowing some habits of being Kid Danger never truly die. He seems to sag, the last of his composure slipping when he didn’t find any.
“Fuck, I was so scared, what if we weren’t able to get you out in time?” Henry’s voice shakes.
Jasper tightened his grip on their girl subconsciously, letting his fear show a bit.
“Hey, I’m right here, I’m fine see? We’re fine baby,” She leans up in her tippy toes to kiss him soundly.
Jasper let out a low sound of worry, pressing his head to her shoulder.
It had scared him to death too, not knowing if she was okay in there, if she would get out.
Charlotte pulls away from Henry, to face her other boy.
“Hey, hey sweetheart. I’m right here, I’m okay, I promise.” She softly cards her hands through his wavy hair.
“You promise?” He can’t help but murmur, his eyes scanning her face.
Her dark brown eyes meet his own blue ones, she holds his gaze steady.
“I promise, I’m here, I’m not going anywhere. You guys saved me, remember?” She laughs softly, pulling him down for a sweet, passionate kiss.
Jasper grips her a tiny bit tighter. Henry digs his face into her shoulder, the same way Jasper just did.
They break apart after a couple of minutes.
“You guys wanna watch a movie? Have a cuddle day?” She laces her fingers through both of their hands.
“Yes, yes please.” Henry’s voice shakes a bit.
Charlotte gives him a small, knowing smile and leads them up to her bedroom.
Her mom wasn’t ever here, working at the Swellview Power Plant didn’t offer her a lot of free time sadly.
They cuddled into the bed, arms wrapped each other, Charlotte cuddled into the middle.
“I’m so fucking happy you’re okay, darling.” Henry murmured, his eyes finding hers.
“So fucking happy baby,” Jasper mumbles, squeezing her tight.
Charlotte smiles, giving them each a sweet kiss, trying to pour her gratitude and love into each of them.
Of course she was terrified in there, not knowing if her boys would be able to get her out. But her trust outweighed her doubt, every time with them.
They had saved her, just like she had trusted they would.
“I love you both so much, thank you for saving me, my loves.” She says to both as she pulls away.
They hug her tight, keeping her right between them.
Charlotte didn’t wanna be anywhere else.
