TAKES PLACE 2 YEARS AFTER TOPPAT KING

Requested by @Lazy_Artist13, tysm :>

(3rd person POV sticking mostly to Charles, fluctuating sometimes to Sven. This'll be a hard one to write since Sven and Charles have had no interactions besides one, but since this is the Toppat!Charles AU, I'll try to make it stick! Pun not intended. Mostly comedic. Hope you enjoy!)

✥﹤┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈﹥✥

   Charles always knew that this crush on Henry was nothing but infatuation, but seeing him now with Ellie sort of gave him sting in the heart.

   He liked Henry at day one, which obviously, was a bad sign. Love isn't instant, it takes time and effort for it to truly bud into something incredible. Not to mention it might've only been for his looks and occasional humor...

   Charles sighed as he looked across the room to see Henry with his future fiancée, Ellie. The two were having a conversation with one another, and were certainly enjoying each other's company.  He had gotten over the silly crush in the past, but... It still stung like hell.

  "Svartsjuk?" A heavy swedish accent asked him from his right. Charles looked at the voice in surprise, to see none other than Sven Svensson, his other partner in crime. "Just letting you know, Henry wants you to be the man of honor."

  He nodded slowly in response, sipping some Peppy-Z he got from a vending machine. "Yep..." He responded. "I knew Henry and Ellie would get together soon, but..."

  "Well, all you can hope for is for Henry to have a good life with her, yeah?" Charles was a bit shocked considering that Sven literally read his mind. Charles gave him an astonished look.

  "Jeez, you've known me for so long, you've started to read my mind..." Charles said, slightly flabbergasted. "But yeah... All I can hope is for Ellie to be a good woman to Henry."

  Sven kept his eyes locked onto Charles. "Yes... Ellie will be a good drottning, I'm sure of it..." He said, his mind drifting off.

   Sven and Charles have known each other since the two have joined the Toppats, and truthfully... Sven at first, only thought of him as a dumbass he was just keeping along during his job. He planned that when he became King, he was going to secretly dispose of Charles, so he didn't have any distractions in his way.

   But now... Ever since Henry has become Toppat King, he's felt a strangely romantic feeling towards Charles. At first, he thought he had been drugged, but now, he really does feel a special connection to Charles. He's dated many women before, but a man...? He never thought he'd feel stronger towards to a man than any of the other women he's dated.

  "'Ey, Sven," Charles snapped his fingers in front of his face, startling him. "Jeez, you're not really the daydreamer type. What's got your head in the copter?"

  Sven's face immediately grew an embarrassing beat red, he didn't want Charles to see him like this! "U-uhh-- I-I was just thinking about the wedding!! Because, y'know, I was just thinking about who I would someday gifta sig..." Cover blown. But does it matter now?

  Charles laughed at Sven's shenanigans, before taking another sip from his soda. "Whatever you say, blondie."

   Sven sighed. He guessed there was no use in hiding it. After all, everyone's left the area, so it's just him and him.

  "Well Charles," He slid closer to him, but enough for personal space. "I've always wondered... If there was any person you'd marry other than Henry, who would it be?"

  Charles didn't catch onto Sven's hint of attraction."I dunno, maybe my helicopter?" He responded obliviously, not noticing that Sven was closer to him.

  Sven was going to have to take lead here now. There's no way Charles would be able to catch onto his subtle hints. "Väl..." He slid a little closer, making Charles glance at him weirdly. "I was hoping to gifta sig someone like you."

   Charles kept eye contact with him in complete silence. His face was completely blank, no hint of blushing either. Sven gulped nervously, he knew he shouldn't have made a major move on him.

  "Well, I hope you find someone like that one day!" Charles said cheerfully, breaking the silence, but also somewhat on Sven's heart. "Anyways, I gotta get to electrical, Jacked Hughman needs help."

   And with that, Charles threw his Peppy-Z away into the recycling bin, leaving a rejected Sven all by himself.

  "Sigh... Oh well, Charles isn't the kind of man to jump at a romantic gesture like that."
