Broderick finally eased up on the tickling and leaned back looking pleased with himself, he chuckled to himself as he glanced over at the blonde who was out of breath "I tried to warn you sweetheart" he grinned playfully.

The moment the tickling stopped, the bad feelings returned, thoughts about Thorfinn & how panicky she felt about her future set in, making her pout a little & immediately climb up onto Broderick's lap, burying her face in his chest & slipping her arms around him tightly, as if he were a big comforting teddy bear. She didn't give an explanation for her reaction but it was obvious she just really needed a hug. It wasn't the best reaction to a tickle-fight, but she felt a little bout of tears coming on & immediately sniffled, burying herself deeper in his chest.

Broderick blinked in surprise and stared at Charlotte, he slipped his arms around her and kissed her affectionately on the temple she didn't need to explain he knew what this was really about "it's ok Charlotte, you're gonna be ok"

That was all it took for the tears to truly start flowing, now.
"Oh god." she whimpered, totally embarrassed with herself before letting out a dry sob & hiding her face again. She tucked her feet up under herself & cuddled into him pitifully, wishing she could just be swallowed up by his arms.

"please don't cry Charlotte" he tightened his arms around her and brushed his fingers through her hair and held her close "he isn't worth the tears love" he murmured. "come on just smile for me" he gently nuzzled her cheek with his stubble.

She felt a little smile coming on, relaxing against him as his stubble gently tickled her cheek. "You're the best." she mumbled tiredly, giving him a weak, still somewhat sad little smile, then rested her cheek against his shoulder, peering up at him with wide blue eyes. She was so ready to be over this breakup. Even she missed her old, happy-go-lucky self. She barely had it in her to prank anymore, let alone do homework & get on with her life.

"only because I have you to bring it out in me" he whispered and nudged her nose with his smiling that heart warming smile he used so well. "do you want some cupcakes? Ashley went on a baking spree here the other day" he grinned and nodded hopefully "sugar"

"Yeah." she mumbled, looking hopeful & managing to crack a small smile at him. When he got up to grab them, she patted the couch next to her for Ashley to sit, immediately giving her other best friend a hopeful, somewhat needy little hug. These two friends of hers were better than any therapy.

"I'm just tired of being sad all of the time." she pouted, sniffling then looking up when Broderick reentered with cupcakes. "Thanks B." she smiled weakly, "and thanks for making them." she nudged Ashley softly & unwrapped one, taking a little bite & immediately giving off a genuine little baby-sized smile. No one could keep from smiling while eating a cupcake. It was a nearly impossible feat.
"These are amazing." she commented, taking a slightly bigger bite this time.

"seeing you sad all the time is awful for all of use sweetheart but we understand and it will get easier" he brushed hi fingers through her hair and stared at her in adoration once again "I promise" Ashley watched the pair of them and decided that it was time for them to have some alone time, she sighed and checked her watch "my mother asked me to pop in and see her for out monthly afternoon of tea I should probably get going bye you 2" with that she vanished instantly apparating to her mothers.

She was gone before Charlotte could even say another word, so she substituted by taking another bite of cupcake in her 'honor', giving Broderick a tiny, hopeful little smile before setting the wrapper down carefully.
"Will you help me with this?" she asked hopefully, pulling her book closer again & butt-scooting closer to him with a sweet, curious look.

Broderick smirked and nodded "of course I will, you know Janelle if Ashley is late she...well umhmm anyway" he leaned in over the book and began to go over the work she had left to do.

Without a moment of hesitation, she leaned up against his side, ducking her head under his arm so they were sat in a manner that was similar to a father reading a bedtime story to his child - except it was Broderick, and the 'story' in question was an old dusty history text book that she practically yawned from just looking at.
"Were you good at history in school?" she asked curiously, lifting her head a little & leaning back, putting them face-to-face.

"I was alright at it" there were other Subjects I prefered but I still managed to get a good mark, I am going to tell you a secret love" he leaned in and whispered softly "there are very few people who actually like history classes" pulling back he winked and chuckled.
