I Want To Touch You (If You'll Let Me) by Stringsofstars for erebus06

Summary
'The thing is, in hindsight it should have been obvious that Charles is madly in love with Edwin, and has been probably since that first night. The slightest brush of their hands makes Charles feel more than he’s ever felt with Crystal or any other girl, as much as he’d thought he’d loved them. For years he’d written it off as simply a normal reaction to the one thing he could feel in a world of non-sensation, more intense than anything he’d known in life because of the contrast with the bland sameness of every other touch. He’d thought his assessment of Edwin as probably the most gorgeous person to ever exist the objective evaluation of another guy, just as he’d always justified his noticing of other boys in the changing rooms at school as simply standard male competitiveness.
Then Edwin had told him he was in love with him, his eyes wide and wet, his hair disarrayed, stripped down and vulnerable in a way Charles had never seen him before. And, well. Denial and repression can only take you so far.'
In which Charles realises some things and confesses to Edwin. Written for erebus06 for the DBDA Secret Pumpkin 2024.
