Fill: Time Changes Everything 3.5/?

(Anonymous) 2013-03-13 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
More of an interlude than anything. I just felt like adding a little of Charles's point of view for this one.

----

“We should be able to raise the money for William’s little investment within a few months’ time. A minor setback, but one we can easily work around. Once that’s out of the way, we should turn our focus to Benjamin. He’s been growing more and more distant as of late. I worry his loyalties may not be entirely with us anymore.”

Haytham pauses, giving Charles a chance to offer his input on the matters, but he remains silent, not even looking at Haytham. Instead, Charles’s gaze is directed at his tea and Haytham sighs, more concerned than annoyed.

“I fear he is not the only one growing distant.”

Charles looks up at that, confusion clearly painted on his face. Haytham sets his own cup down and stands, walking over to take Charles’s chin between his thumb and forefinger, preventing the younger man from looking away.

“Charles, you’ve never kept secrets from me before. Do not start now. What’s been troubling you these past few days?”

Haytham takes his hand away and Charles leans back for a moment before getting up and walking towards the window. In the faint reflection, Charles thinks he sees Connor in Haytham’s place and he runs a hand over his eyes as though to wipe the image away. He can’t deal with that right now. There are more important matters to attend to.

“It’s nothing. I’ve only been feeling under the weather recently. Nothing you need to concern yourself with.”

Haytham snorts and walks over to Charles, standing close enough that Charles doesn’t have to expend any extra effort to smell him. It’s a comforting smell, one he feels guilty to admit he’s missed, and Charles finds himself leaning into Haytham slightly, if only to get more of the smell. He wishes he could tell Haytham about everything that’s going on, about the future and what Washington will turn into, about possible plans of action to prevent it, about everything. Well, everything except Connor, of course. Charles doubts telling Haytham the truth about that will go over so well. Or does Haytham even know that Connor is his son at this point? Charles sighs without realizing he’s doing it and Haytham looks from the window to him at the action.

“Nothing I need to concern myself with, hmm? Quite a change from how you usually feel when you’re feeling under the weather. Usually you stamp and whine and make your health something everyone needs to concern themselves with when you’re feeling even slightly off. More like a child than a grown man.”

Haytham’s tone is mocking and Charles knows he’s fishing for more of a reaction—for Charles to get annoyed enough that he yells the truth before he truly thinks about what he’s saying. But Charles won’t give him that reaction. He’s too focused on making sure everything goes right. The one thing he’s certain of right now is that he doesn’t want anyone finding out that he and Connor have experienced the future and he’s taking extra measures to ensure that it’s not his own temper that ruins that, though Charles does fear that he’s already let it ruin things with Connor.

“If you are attempting flattery to get a different answer out of me, you are doing a poor job of it, Haytham,” Charles pauses for a moment. It feels like he should say something else, but what else can he say? He can’t tell the truth. Not now; possibly not ever. “I have never lied to you before; I have no reason to start now.”

Charles hates lying to Haytham. It’s true that he’s never done it until now and he hates the feeling of starting. He hates that his first lie is about something so important and he hates that his second lie is about lying. Haytham just stares at him after that. The smirk he’d had before turns into a frown and Charles swears he sees something in Haytham’s expression that looks suspiciously like hurt and Charles feels even worse for it. Haytham doesn’t need this now. For all that he acts like the setback in William’s plans is no big deal he knows it bothers Haytham more than he lets on. For all that he acts like Benjamin’s actions only bother him because it gives him more to deal with as Grand Master of the Colonial Rite he knows it bothers Haytham because it feels like he’s losing a friend. Charles hates to make him feel like he’s losing his best friend and lover as well.

It takes more effort than Charles would like to push away the little voice in his head that points out that not only is Haytham losing his lover, he’s already lost him. To his son. If only that son wasn’t currently under the impression that it was the other way around.

He moves closer to Haytham to bring him into a kiss, but Charles fears the truth and all of his guilt are noticeable in it and so he’s quick to pull away. This only seems to make things worse. Charles leans a little to rest his head on Haytham’s shoulder, the way he might have before. It only offers afraction of the comfort it once had, but it’s still something so Charles stays that way. Haytham doesn’t wrap his arms around Charles immediately the way he might have and it only makes things worse. Still, he does it after a few moments and some of Charles’s nerves calm themselves.

“I hope you will find it in yourself to tell me what it is that’s bothering you like this.”

The words are whispered and Charles isn’t entirely sure that he was supposed to hear them so he doesn’t respond to it. Instead, he changes the subject.

“Will you be spending the night?”

There’s little emotion beyond curiosity in his voice. He wonders if that will make things worse. Usually there might have been a hint of hopefulness in his tone, but not now. Much as he still loves Haytham, Charles finds himself wishing it were Connor here with him now. It’s funny. Once, he used to think that if somehow he and Haytham were ever reunited, he would leave Connor in an instant. Now that he has the chance for that, he finds that he wants the opposite. But he can’t leave Haytham completely. Not yet. It would be too risky a move. Haytham is already suspicious of him, what would he think if Charles were to suddenly break off the relationship he is usually so happy about?

“No. I have business to attend to in New York. I leave tonight. I only came here to see how you were faring.”

Both of them attempt smiles, but they’re weak and fade quickly. Charles walks him to the door and they remain silent for the walk there, doing little more than nodding their goodbyes when Haytham gets in his carriage to leave.

Charles feels a new wave of guilt. He could have been more receptive to Haytham. At least until he figures a natural way of breaking things off he could make more of an attempt to act like nothing is out of the ordinary, but what’s done is done. For now, he’ll have to try and fix the other two messes in his life: Connor and the future.

OP LOVES YOU! /HUGS/ Was not expecting the past Haytham/Charles part but it really does add to the story. As if Charles and Connor did not have enough problems with trying to stop Washington. Suspicious!Haytham is suspicious, not a good sign since he'll probably be monitoring Charles without him realizing it.

I was kind of nervous about including it since you only requested Connor/Charles but the idea hit me and I just had to run with it. And, yeah, suspicious Haytham is never good. But that's why Charles is going to be extra careful around him! And definitely keeping his eye out or any spies. He doesn't like lying to Haytham he just feels like he has to. Mostly because he's selfish and unwilling to give up either of the guys he's sleeping with although he pretends he has better reasons.

Well it's a good thing Connor has eagle vision, though that might tip off Haytham more of who Connor might be if Eagle vision is hereditary.

Mostly because he's selfish and unwilling to give up either of the guys he's sleeping with although he pretends he has better reasons.

I totally would not mind a love triangle or a Charles sandwich :)

Sadly, Haytham probably would notice if Connor were to use Eagle Vision. Not that Connor would really care. He thinks that telling everyone would only help them since they'd have more allies. And he wants Charles to himself so he'd probably be happy if Haytham caught Charles with him.

.... I think I may just have to go with a Charles sandwich OP. I have to admit, Haytham/Chares is my AC3 OTP and the thought of them breaking up breaks my heart. Now adding Connor to the mix... That's not so heartbreaking ;)

Oh Connor, you're a naive 17 year-old boy all over again... wait he really is. Having everyone know would not be a good idea, it throws all their knowledge of the future out the window and they'll be working in the dark all over again.

And yay, Charles sandwich! I don't think the poms will be very happy losing the entire bed to the Kenways

Not to mention people would probably just write them off as crazy if they told everyone. They're story would be pretty unbelievable, even to the people who know about the Pieces of Eden/Precursor stuff.

The poms can just use the Kenways as their bed. Or the Kenways can sleep in the dog beds. Charles would be okay with that too. Just as long as the poms get what they want.

You are super duper amazing and I can't wait to see where this is going! <33
