It was him.
Charlie peeked around the corner of the restoration hub and almost
squeaked, before oh so casually making his way back to his desk, and
continuing to hand stitch buttons onto what had been a very sad looking
waistcoat.

From across the room, Daniel arched an eyebrow. “All okay there,
Charlie?”
“Yeah, of course.” Charlie made his words extra casual. From the way
that Daniel was looking at him, he wasn’t quite sure that he’d pulled it off.
“All good, nothing to see—”
And then the door to the restoration hub swung open and Isla walked in
with Leon.
Leon.
Charlie hadn’t seen Leon in a year.
In fact, the last time Charlie had seen Leon had been after his top
surgery. After both of their top surgeries. They’d been on the same recovery
ward, and had bonded over the excitement, fear, and anxiety that had
companied the procedure.
They’d clicked instantly and when Leon had been discharged before
Charlie, he’d written his number down on a piece of paper and handed it to
Charlie.
Charlie had put it on his table, intending on inputting it after lunch, and
someone—in an attempt to be helpful—had thrown the scrap of paper in the
bin.
That had been that.
No one would give Charlie Leon’s contact details—GDPR regulations
forbade that, of course—and instead Charlie had spent the better part of a
year berating himself for not just taking the five minutes it would have
taken to find his phone from wherever it had fallen between his bedsheets
whilst he’d been sleeping, and giving it to Leon so he could input his
number directly.
But Leon was here. In Stuffie Hospital London. Carrying a remarkably
large octopus under one arm and—oh shit, he was looking over.
There was an instant when their eyes met and Leon flushed a deep red
and looked away, the red rising up to colour even the tips of his ears.
Charlie felt sick. Why didn’t Leon want to talk to him? Why didn’t he—
oh.
“Leon!” he found himself calling out, feeling awkward as all fuck when
the other man looked at him. “Leon, I—I lost your number.”
The whole room was alarmingly quiet, only the rhythmic sound of Jamie
on a sewing machine breaking the lull that followed Charlie’s words.
He saw realisation hit Isla in an instant. She’d been there the day that
he’d finally given up on ever finding Leon again, and had taken to the
garden with a cider and multiple tissues.
She paused, and then said something quiet in Leon’s ear.
He nodded, a short, sharp movement that felt like it cut. And then he
slowly started making his way over to where Charlie sat. “Charlie.”
Charlie bristled, feeling everyone’s eyes upon them both and he shot a
glare round the room. “Haven’t you all got work to do?”
