Charles: I formally apologize for being a twat. This message thing isn't an obligation - if you want to delete my number and forget about me I completely understand. I'm sorry I have been so annoying and have spammed you but I just want to be your friend. I would be completely fine if you told me to sod off, I shouldn't have been pushy. I won't message you ever again if you don't want me to. I'm really sorry Eric.
Charles Michael Francis.

Eric: are you always this sappy, apologetic and annoying

Charles: Eric

Charles: yes I am, it's how my overthinking forces me to work

Charles: do you want me to piss off?

Eric: Charles I could never forget you

Eric: I've never seen someone get so attached to someone they've only been talking to for a week

Eric: I didn't speak to you for however long that was because my phone was being fixed

Charles: you arse

Eric: in all fairness I should have told you

Charles: probably would have led to less sleepless nights

Eric: sleepless nights?

Charles: ...yeah

Eric: oh Charles

Charles: so just to be sure, you're not mad at me?

Eric: no I'm not

Charles: thank fuck

Eric: so you like sunrises?

Charles: I do however I don't like getting up early enough to see them

Eric: fair enough

Charles: that's what I love about my job, I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn and I get long holidays

Eric: lucky you

Eric: I tend to wake up at 5 and go for a run as the sun rises

Charles: that's cute

Eric: if this conversation was in person I'd roll my eyes

Charles: and if this conversation was in person I'd hug you

Eric: gonna squish me to death?

Charles: I could...if you deserved it

Eric: gee I'm so scared

Charles: ha ha very funny

Eric: I'm hilarious

Charles: I shall have you know, no one can resist my puppy eyes

Eric: oh really?

Charles: yep, well I have to go, people to teach

Eric: goodbye Charles

Charles: have a good day Eric!

Charles: my siblings think this is weird

Eric: well it is

Charles: yeah but we are in the situation so we are allowed to think it's weird

Eric: fair enough, how did your siblings react

Charles: My sister Lily decided to lecture me on strangers, I'm 27 not 12! Also I'm older than her!

Charles: Logan found it hilarious while James was insulted that I got his number down wrong
