Chatting on 'T is for trauma'
Lorna 🧩: is it just me, or does Charles get really flustered around my dad?
ThirdWheel 🔬: it's not just you
YoungestChild 🔮: it's really cute
Logan 🍁: you haven't lived with them for a decade
TraumatisedSon 😎: You should have seen them when they first started dating, any small thing my dad did, Charles would be blushing like a tomato
TheBetterSummers 💪🏻: no that was before they dated
OfficialScottSummers 🔴: Before they dated, Charles would blush and flirt with Erik but Erik was so oblivious
Peter'sTherapist 🫐: it's so cute
TraumatisedSon 😎: that's true, now Charles still blushes like an idiot

Logan 🍁: remember the reunion?
ThirdWheel 🔬: that was the sappiest shit I've ever seen

TheBetterSummers 💪🏻: Erik had to go away on government work for 5 years much to Charles'...dismay
OfficialScottSummers 🔴: he was fucking depressed
YoungestChild 🔮: Really?
Peter'sTherapist 🫐: he missed Erik a lot, he eventually got better but that was because of Peter
Lorna 🧩: Peter?
TraumatisedSon 😎: It wasn't much
Logan 🍁: wasn't much...kid you helped Chuck out of his depression. You have one of the closest bonds ever
YoungestChild 🔮: ohhhh so that's why...
Lorna 🧩: ???
YoungestChild 🔮: I'll tell you later
ThirdWheel 🔬: But in answer to your question Lorna, it's not just you
OfficialScottSummers 🔴: Charles blushes soooo easily
TheBetterSummers 💪🏻: it's hilarious
Peter'sTherapist 🫐: you always tease him because of it
TraumatisedSon 😎: it's funny, and really sweet
Lorna 🧩: is it funny to embarrass my dad as well?
Logan 🍁: yes, embarrassing Chuck and Mags together is priceless
Wanda 🔮: haha
ThirdWheel 🔬: Mags...
OfficialScottSummers 🔴: he's gonna kill you Loge
Logan 🍁: ah well I lived a good life
TheBetterSummers 💪🏻: although embarrassing Erik is a lot harder than embarrassing mom
TraumatisedSon 😎: true
Peter'sTherapist 🫐: Does Erik ever get embarrassed?
Lorna 🧩: I've never seen him embarrassed
TraumatisedSon 😎: He does, but only when he's around Charles
OfficialScottSummers 🔴: wow I'm so surprised

Wanda 🔮 and Lorna 🧩 are chatting privately
Lorna 🧩: what did you want to tell me?
Wanda 🔮: I have now realised to the full extent why Peter was annoyed the other week that we were spending time together with mom and dad
Lorna 🧩: it was because he wanted to get to know us, right?
Wanda 🔮: well yes but I had no idea how close he and mom are
Lorna 🧩: how close are they?
Wanda 🔮: I'll say this, Peter helped mom through a great depression
Lorna 🧩: He did, how?
Wanda 🔮: by being Peter, he asked about dad, he made mom laugh, he may or may not have found a way to force mom to stop drinking excessively
Lorna 🧩: Charles was that sad about dad leaving for work?
Wanda 🔮: from what I can gather, it broke him
Lorna 🧩: wow, Peter and Charles are so close, no wonder he got upset
Wanda 🔮: don't tell anyone, I don't know if it's common knowledge
Lorna 🧩: don't worry I won't tell a soul
Wanda 🔮: good

Erik 🧲: can you watch over the school for a few hours
Raven 💙: no
Erik 🧲: Charles needs you to
Raven 💙: he should have asked me himself
Erik 🧲: he specifically asked me to ask you
Raven 💙: why does he need me to this time?
Erik 🧲: we're going out
Raven 💙: then it's definitely a no, why should I have to watch the school just so you can go out
Erik 🧲: Raven this is the first time we've gone out out on a date since we got together, most of our dates have been in the school
Raven 💙: wait what?
Erik 🧲: Charles has been working his arse off to run this school and the one time he asks you to do him a favour and watch over the school so he can go out and spend time with his fiancé you bitch about it
Raven 💙: you really haven't been out alone together in 5 years
Erik 🧲: no
Raven 💙: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been such a bitch. Go out and have fun, you both deserve it
Erik 🧲: thank you
Raven 💙: you're welcome, just keep my brother safe
Erik 🧲: Always
