The pilot looked like he was going to cry, but he didn't.
I bet you look so cute when you cry...
He inhaled and exhaled to calm himself as Henry led him into a big room with a T.V. in it.
It turned on to reveal General Galeforce sitting there, obviously very angry.
Charles was hidden behind Henry's tall, masculine frame and cape.
"Hello, Galeforce," Henry greeted him gently.
"Cut the sappy talk, Stickmin," the general hissed. "I know you have Charlie, so where is he?"
Henry's heart beat fast.
Have him? I guess I do.
He never really had thought about it like that.
More like... Capture.
But saying that he 'had him' made him feel like his daydreams could really happen.
"Well, no need to be so snappy about it." Henry revealed Charles from behind him.
"Charlie!" General Galeforce exclaimed. "Are you alright?!"
"I'm fine," Charles said, obviously lying to please his father.
He's so sweet... His personality is so different with his dad than it is with me...
"What happened?!" the general cried.
"I was flying around, and my helicopter crashed. I woke up here," Charles explained simply.
"Stickmin, I'm giving you the final chance to let him go before we take him by force."
"Oh, but General, I couldn't possibly let Charles go... I need him!"
And pretty soon, he'll need me too.
"This is your final warning, you lying traitor!"
"I politely decline."
Henry wasn't very polite, though.
He got Charles fair and square.
He needed him and wasn't going to let him go.
"Then prepare to have tanks and helicopters flood your stupid airship."
"You can't do that, General. You don't know where we are..."
"Father! We're-" Charles began, until Henry shoved him into the wall.
He knew he was going to speak.
"Charlie!" Galeforce gasped, before Henry turned off the T.V.
He grabbed the pilot's wrists and pinned them to the wall, to make sure that Charles couldn't defend himself.
He was at the mercy of the Toppat leader.
Charles swallowed.
Henry's pupils dilated in love and pleasure.
The space between their bodies closed.
"What were you thinking?" he asked calmly.
Not like a demand, more like a simple question.
He found immense joy in seeing Charles stammer and turn a bit red - embarrassment or love, Henry couldn't tell.
His heart beat rapidly.
Charlie's beloved body was so close... So... Tempting.
"Did you really think you could just... Slide by and tell your dad where we are, and I wouldn't do anything about it?"
Charles looked very angry as he struggled to get out of Henry's grasp.
"Well, you're wrong. I'll do anything to protect my clan. I may have betrayed you, but I'm not a monster or a savage."
Henry pushed his wrists even harder into the wall, earning a small, cute gasp.
That sounded a bit like... A moan.
"Besides, we've moved on past where you crashed. It would be utterly useless to tell him where we were."
Charles gulped again and made quick breaths and other quiet noises as he got more scared and desperate.
"Wh-What are you... What are you going to do?" he demanded shakily.
Henry stared at him with lovestruck glittering gray eyes, and he watched Charlie's face fill with terror.
He knew exactly what he was going to do, and Charles already knew what track his mind was on.
