Literally no one:

Me: When Charlotte asked Henry to promise he wouldn’t kiss her he started to say “I prom—” but never actually finished saying it and it’s probably because he didn’t really want to promise that, which honestly just says a lot and in this TEDTalk I will…

So, I Had A Dream

I hadn’t seen this done yet and it just popped in my mind today. (Henry trying to tell Ray about his kissing dream). Hope it’s enjoyed by somebody.

A/N: This story is really just a plethora of fluff and cute moments. Chenry and a little bit of Jenry. (Fair warning, it’s kinda long.) Thanks for reading!

“Just let me finish-”

“It’s MY straightener—”

“YOU DON’T EVEN USE IT! YOU DON’T STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR, WHY DO YOU NEED—”

“I DON’T USE IT BECAUSE YOU STOLE IT MONTHS AGO AND IM JUST NOW FIGURING OUT WHERE ITS BEEN—”

“JUST BACK UP CHAR, JUST—”

“YOU DON’T EVEN NEED IT YOUR HAIRS ALREADY STRAIGHT, LITERALLY WHAT ARE YOU DOING-”

“GUYS?!”

It was Jasper’s panic-stricken voice that made Henry and Charlotte finally stop screaming at one another. They stood there in their awkward poses for a few seconds—Henry’s long arm stretching over his head as he held up the hair straightener so Charlotte couldn’t reach it, Charlotte’s knee propped on the bathroom counter as she was about to climb onto it to gain some height and rip her straightener out of her annoying best friend’s hand, her arms outstretched and awkwardly tangled between Henry’s other arm and the leg he’d held up to keep some distance between them, his entire body leaning away from her until he looked like the letter ‘r’. “Yes?” They asked him calmly.

“I was using it first!” He yelled, pointing toward his head. Half his hair was curly and half was straight. He’d been in the middle of doing his hair when Henry ran in to tell him he needed to use the straightener to fix the ends of his hair real quick, but when Charlotte had walked in in hopes of finding her diamond earrings, she’d snatched the thing out of Henry’s hand and stared at it in awe. She hadn’t seen her straightener since last October! When had she taken it to Henry’s house?!

“All I needed to do was straighten my tips—”

“All you need to do is give me back MY straightener!” Charlotte huffed. As Henry relaxed his body, she snatched it out of his hand and shoved it in Jasper’s direction, causing him to shriek and jump back. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “You finish up while Henry and I look for my earrings.” She ordered.

“But I don’t want to look for your earrings.” Henry pouted. She sent him a dirty look and yanked him out of the bathroom and into his bedroom. “You check under your bed, I’ll check in your closet.”

“Why would they be under my bed?” He questioned, sending her a puzzled look. She rolled her eyes. “They could’ve been kicked under there if I dropped them while I was carrying all my stuff in.”

He nodded in agreement. That made much more sense than what he’d originally thought. He just assumed that she’d been hiding under his bed without him knowing for some reason.

He grunted as he slid to the floor, his body disagreeing completely with his movements. He was sore and stiff from the fight he’d had with some crazy ass villain last night. What was his name? Barge? That guy was massive.

He was already exhausted and prom wasn’t for another hour and a half.

“Those stupid earrings are the only earrings that I brought, and I can’t show up to prom earring less! That’s just not right! And they go perfectly with my shoes, they literally tie the outfit together. And they were expensive! If I can’t find them my mom is gonna kill me! But more importantly, if I can’t find them then that means I can’t go to prom. My look relies on those stupid ear accessories! They match the little diamonds in my dress, the diamonds in my hair, the diamonds on my shoes—what’s my mom gonna say about me losing her fancy earrings when I promised I’d be responsible and—”

Henry had found the earrings almost as soon as he’d laid down to look for them, but Charlotte rarely lost her cool like this and he found it a little amusing that she was going crazy over a pair of earrings that she was sure she’d never see again despite the fact that he was holding them in the palm of his hand as she spoke. Plus, now that he was looking under his bed, he noticed that a lot of the stuff he’d been looking for for months was right under him the whole time. The other halves of quite a few pairs of his socks, the remote control he’d had to replace because he was sure he’d thrown it away accidentally, about six pairs of headphones, even a jar of Nutella that had probably been under there since a few years ago when he thought he was fired from being kid danger…He wondered if there was any way it was still some good.

“—My mom told me that my great aunt went to her prom without earrings once and she was never the same again. She wasn’t crowned prom queen which sent her life spiraling. It was all downhill from there, and long story short, she’s on death row now…Of course, my mom didn’t exactly say that all that was because of her lack of earrings, but I’m smart enough to be able to draw my own conclusions. I mean, why else would she shank that man that had in the earrings that looked vaguely like the ones she’d planned to wear to prom?” Charlotte paused her frantic movements—she’d been throwing all of Henry’s things around the whole time she’d been talking—and stared off into space for a moment. She shivered after a second and got back to throwing things around. “I really don’t wanna have to shank someone because of earrings.”

Henry knew he’d probably be on the receiving end of whatever abuse Charlotte was gonna be giving out over her earrings, so he decided now was the time to announce that he’d found them. He stood up with a loud groan and popped his back before turning toward her. “I found your lobe rings.” He announced before looking at the mess she made. “Charlotte, what are you doing?! You’re destroying my closet!”

“You found them?! You found the rings for my lobes?!” She screamed happily, running toward him. He shoved the earrings in her general direction and away from him in fear of getting tackled. Once she’d snatched them out of his hands, he walked toward his messy closet. It wasn’t that bad to be honest, and maybe it even looked better than before because he wasn’t too keen on keeping it clean, but he knew an opportunity when he saw one. “You’re gonna have to reorganize my entire closet, you know?”

Charlotte wasn’t stupid even when she was distracted by the beauty of her dazzling earrings, but she agreed, only because she’d been wanting to do something about his ridiculously messy closet for a long time now.

***

Everyone looked stunning. Jasper had on a white suit and tie with a gold undershirt and gold shoes. It was a bold choice, but both Henry and Charlotte were shocked at how nice he actually looked. He’d even done his makeup, despite the fact that he refused to admit that to them even though they told him there was nothing wrong with a dude wanting to dress his face up. He’d made sure to do his eyebrows perfectly and added a subtle pink lipstick to his lips.

Henry was wearing a black suit with golden flowers all over it. He’d promised Jasper that they’d match in some way or another, and he really liked this suit anyway so why not?

Charlotte, as Henry had said many times in the last three minutes, looked like some sort of goddess. She had somehow managed to put little diamonds throughout her curly hair—something that both Jasper and Henry thought was majestic as hell. They couldn’t understand how she could’ve possibly managed to make them stay in there. They thought it must’ve been witchcraft—and her dress was bright red, clung to every curve, and went all the way down to her feet. There was a slit in the left thigh that allowed her to show off her fishnet stockings which also had diamonds in them. Her shoes really did match her earrings, they were completely diamond too. Her necklace and bracelet tied the outfit together perfectly, along with her beautiful makeup. Red lipstick and gold eyeshadow with the perfect highlighter.

Henry was in awe. She looked magical. She looked like a literal, actual princess. Sure, she always looked good, but he’d never seen her looking this good. “We look good.” He grinned after he was finally able to pull his eyes away from Charlotte.

“We better get going before we’re too late to be fashionable!” Jasper exclaimed as he looked at the time on his phone. They were supposed to be thirty minutes late, not forty! And if they didn’t get moving soon, they would be! Charlotte rolled her eyes at him and let out a small laugh which drew Henry’s attention right back to her.

When had his best friend started looking so…good?

“You should probably go see how Piper is coming along.” Charlotte blushed as she noticed him staring again. Henry nodded, but he didn’t move.

Jasper watched as his two best friends had a short staring contest, both of them letting out awkward laughs every now and then but never attempting to move or break eye contact. It was as if they were both in a trance that was only broken when Jasper waved his hand between their faces. “Henry?” He questioned.

“Right, Piper!” He cleared his throat and stumbled away from them and toward the stairs. He needed to go to Piper’s room and see what was taking her so long. She had been the first of them to start getting ready, she should’ve definitely been done by now.

It was only when he was at the very top of the stairs and turning the corner that he stopped looking at Charlotte. Cause she was no longer in sight and he literally couldn’t.

He speed walked down the hallway and knocked impatiently on Piper’s door, now suddenly in a hurry to get back downstairs. Charlotte was probably doing something cute right this second and he was missing it because he had to talk to his sister!

“Come in!” She screamed. He opened the door quickly and practically ran in, only to see her taking off her jewelry. He scrunched up his face, confused, and held out his hands, silently asking her what the hell she was doing.

“I’m not going to prom.”

Well, if she’d said that a few years ago it would’ve made more sense and it would’ve actually been true. Piper wasn’t even old enough to go to their school dance, yet she’d been going to it since she was in fourth grade. Her school didn’t have dances and she needed an excuse to wear fancy dresses at least once a year! So, she’d been insisting on going since she was younger and since the principal was practically scared of her, he allowed her and a few of her friends to come as long as they all agreed not to drink the punch.

“What do—what do—what do you mean you’re not going to prom?” He exclaimed in confusion. She rolled her eyes and kicked her shoes off. “I’m still gonna drop you guys off, I’m just not going in myself.”

“Why not? You love prom. You’ve been talking about it for months. 'Oh I can’t wait to dance with Jack!’ 'Oh Jack is gonna love my dress!’ 'Jack is gonna look so great!’ 'Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack!’ What happened to that?” Henry questioned dumbly. She shrugged her shoulders and let out a small sigh. “There is no more Jack. He decided he didn’t want to go to prom anymore. I mean—with me. He’s going with Jana—”

“Don’t you dare say Tetrazini!”

She nodded. “Jana Tetrazini.”

“Ough!” He shook his head and punched the air in frustration. “That little jizzbag! Why’s he going with her?”

“Because she asked him?” Piper looked at Henry as if he was dumb and then plopped onto her bed “He was excited to go with me all the way up until two hours ago when Jana apparently called him and told him that her date, Bobby Butouski, got sent to the hospital because of an allergic reaction to mint flavored gum and wouldn’t be able to make it to prom. So, she asked Jack to take her and he agreed.”

“Why would he do that when he knew he already had plans to go with you?”

“Because Jana’s better than me.” Piper rolled her eyes and grabbed a large pillow to hug as she slid toward the wall her bed was up against. “Whatever she wants, she gets, and she wanted my man.” She grabbed the remote that controlled her stereo, pressed a few buttons, and within a few moments 'Mr. Lonely’ by Bobby Vinson was blasting throughout the room. “Leave me.” She whispered dramatically before leaning over to grab some shades and the Icarly toy remote she’d purchased a few years back. She pressed the 'boo’ button over and over until Henry walked over and snatched it out of her hand. He pulled her shades off, turned the music off, and snatched the pillow away from her, much to her dismay, and then sat next to her.

“Piper, look, what Jack did was wrong. He’s a real asshole if you ask me—” she sent him a look. She’d cursed a few times before and he’d scolded her for it, yet he was allowed to say whatever he wanted? “—but that doesn’t mean your whole night has to be ruined. You invited half your grade to our prom,” he rolled his eyes. “You’re telling me you wouldn’t be able to find another guy to hang out with?”

“I don’t want to,” she shook her head. “I don’t wanna show up. Do you know how humiliating it’s gonna be having to watch Jack and Jana together along with the rest of my grade, who all know that me and him are supposed to be each other’s dates? Everyone’s gonna laugh at me and I can’t threaten everyone.”

“You won’t have to! Charlotte, Jasper and I will watch out for you.”

“You don’t wanna spend your whole prom night dealing with me and my drama.”

No, he certainly didn’t, but he was almost sure that it wouldn’t be as bad as Piper thought it’d be. She’d get there and be shy for a few minutes and then she’d started talking to her friends and she’d see that they weren’t judging her and everything would be fine. Probably.

“It’ll be fine.” He assured her. “You put your jewelry back on and meet me downstairs in five minutes. You’re going to prom, and you’re gonna enjoy it!”

With one last sigh, Piper finally nodded and got up. Henry grinned and walked out of her room, closing the door behind him and then nearly ran down the stairs.

“She’ll be out in a few. She’s having boy troubles.”

“Boy troubles?” Charlotte raised a perfectly arched brow and Henry sent her a goofy smile. Boy, she sure was attractive. “Yeah, Jack is now the date of Jana-”

“Don’t you dare say Tetrazini!” Jasper warned Henry. Henry nodded. “Tetrazini.”

“Ugh!” Charlotte and Jasper groaned at the same time. “That girl is such a witch!” Charlotte shook her head.

“She came into junk n stuff once and spit her lollipop pieces in my favorite bucket!” Jasper exclaimed. Henry and Charlotte both side eyed him but said nothing.

“I’m ready!” Piper came down the stairs with no pep in her step. She looked great, though! Her dress was a white two-piece with lots of lace on it, the skirt long and dragging behind her. Her hair was in a curly updo. Her makeup was simple and subtle but really brought out her features, and she too was wearing a couple pieces of diamond jewelry.

“Wow, you look great!” Charlotte encouraged.

“You clean up nice, pipes.”

“You look good, baby sis.”

“Thanks,” Piper sent them all a small smile. “Let’s get this show on the road!”

***

They showed up to prom thirty-five minutes late and Jasper figured he could deal with that. The first thing he did when they stepped into the building was head toward the food table, and Charlotte followed close behind. At first, it was with intentions of keeping him from spilling anything on his white suit, but the moment she saw the nachos that was canceled. She didn’t have time to care about Jasper or his suit when there were cheesy nachos with various toppings staring her right in the face. She quickly slapped away the hand of some guy who’d been trying to grab a nacho from the big bowl. “Wait your turn!”

Henry walked Piper toward the area where her friends were, his hand resting on her shoulder and guiding her along despite the fact that she didn’t wanna face them. “Now listen, if anyone gives you any trouble, just text me and I’ll come find you. I don’t think you have much to worry about, though, because it’s not like—”

Before he could finish talking, Piper was falling forward. Someone had bumped into her nearly hard enough to knock her down. Henry quickly caught her and made sure she was okay, and by the time he’d done that, Jana was standing in front of them with one hand on her hip and the other hand holding Jack’s. “Sorry, didn’t see you there, you kinda blend in with the room.” She giggled. “The walls and floor are white, but they aren’t human shaped so you’re lying!” Henry exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at her. Jana giggled and Piper squeezed her eyes shut before patting her brother on the shoulder. “Thanks, Hen.” She sighed.

“You’re welcome.” He nodded, feeling accomplished.

“So ugh…Where’s your date?” Jana questioned. By now, a small crowd had formed around them, so Piper didn’t wanna say that Jana had stolen her date out loud so that anyone who didn’t already know could. Besides, Jana already knew that. Piper glanced at Jack who looked apologetic as he stared back at her, but that look was quickly replaced with a large smile when Jana tugged on his hand and made him look at her.

“You stole him you…you date thief!” Henry announced. Piper growled in frustration and threw her hands up in the air. Earlier when he’d talked to her he’d actually succeeded in making her feel better, and he even made her think that things would be okay and that he’d help, but now she regretted showing up and believing that her brother could make anything about this situation any better.

Luckily, Charlotte and Jasper had grabbed all the food they wanted and came to stand by Henry and Piper.

“Oh, so you couldn’t find another one?” Jana questioned, tilting her head in mock confusement. “Gee Piper, if I’d known that nobody besides Jack actually wanted to be your date, I wouldn’t have taken him from you.” She smirked.

Piper narrowed her eyes at her and then turned to look at Jack again. He was still too busy drooling at Jana to actually say anything.

“Piper doesn’t need a date to have fun.” Charlotte jumped in as soon as she’d chewed her nachos up. “She’s happy enough with herself to be able to function properly when she’s alone. She doesn’t need a guy to be by her side just to have a good time, and that’s a great quality to have, because guess what? When no guy wants to be around you anymore, you’re gonna wish you were able to live with yourself, singular, not plural!” Charlotte stepped closer and closer until she was towering over Jana by the time she was finished. Jana took a few steps back, looking uncomfortable and maybe even a little scared. Henry took a few steps back too, only because he was shocked. His face scrunched up as he looked all around, trying to see if anyone else had just witnessed what he had. Charlotte had never been sexier to him. When had she gotten so badass? Seriously!

“Charlotte’s right! Piper doesn’t need a guy to have fun!” That was Jasper’s only contribution to the conversation before he was digging back into his own nachos and shoving another finger sandwich in his mouth.

“Gee, Piper, are you just gonna stand there and let everyone talk for you the whole night? Must’ve lost your voice at the same time as you lost your man.” Jana and a few other girls giggled and Piper rolled her eyes.

“There’s no hard feelings, Jana.” She shook her head.

“There’s not?”

“I have a few hard feelings, myself.”

“I wouldn’t say that.”

Piper glared at Henry and his friends and they got quiet again. She turned back to face Jana again and smiled at her. “I think it’s really nice of you to put everything Jack said about you behind you so you guys could come and enjoy prom together tonight.”

“What are you talking about?” Jana questioned, eyeing Jack. Jack shook his head at Piper as discreetly as he could, but Piper kept talking. “Yeah, I mean, if someone had talked to all their friends about my weird stench I would not have taken them to prom.” She laughed. “And, oh my gosh! The fact that you forgave him for being the reason you lost more than thirty of your followers on TwitFlash—” “WHAT?”

“Yeah! He’s so funny—he literally got the whole dance team to unfollow you because he told them that you’d been talking about how their routines were terrible and you could do better in your sleep!”

“Oh yeah…I forgot all about that.” One of the girls who’d been laughing with Jana earlier turned to glare at her.

“Plus, remember that video of you falling into the Swellview Well that was going around online? He begged his friend to send that to him and then posted it!”

Jana had almost forgotten about falling into that stupid well, and so had everyone else, but now that Piper had mentioned it they were all laughing at her expense once again. Jana’s cheeks turned red as she snatched her hand away from Jack and stomped her foot.

“Gee Jana,” Piper mocked, laughing as she watched Jana pout,“Yeah, there’s no hard feelings! I just think it’s really nice that you can be so forgiving! Enjoy your night.”

Piper quietly thanked her brother and his friends and told them she’d be alright by herself and then walked toward a large group of her friends who immediately began talking about Jana’s nasty fall again. Jana stomped off in the opposite direction with Jack chasing after her and frantically apologizing.

“Glad I was able to help her fix that.” Henry grinned. Charlotte rolled her eyes and Jasper groaned as he ate his last bit of food. “The nights only getting started and it’s already awesome!”

***

Henry was beginning to sweat because of all the dancing he’d been doing. The DJ was playing random music. It went from 'Imagine’ by Ariana Grande to 'Almost Love’ by Sabrina Carpenter to an older song called 'Moonshine’ by Bruno Mars. He changed dance partners every song, mingling with some of his fellow classmates that he didn’t talk to all that much. He was having a great time, but he kept scanning the large crowd for Charlotte and he was disappointed every time he failed to locate her. He didn’t see her anywhere and he was beginning to get worried. He hadn’t seen her in at least thirty minutes, and it wasn’t like it was the largest building in the world. She wasn’t by the food table, she wasn’t on the dance floor, and she wasn’t sitting down. He’d looked plenty of times and he was sure she was nowhere to be found. The only thing that made him feel a little better was the fact that Jasper was missing too. That meant they were probably together, so at least she wasn’t anywhere by herself.

That made him feel better for a short amount of time and then he felt sick. Why were they alone together on prom night?

They’d been best friends for a long time now and Henry was fairly sure that they didn’t have any feelings for each other, especially because he was also fairly sure that Jasper wasn’t as into girls as he wanted everyone to believe, if at all, but still you never know.

Henry was so unsettled with the thought of his friends potentially getting together, though, that he left the dance floor mid-song and decided to look around for the two of them again. This time he found Jasper in no time. He was sitting by himself at a large table, not easy to miss. A bright light was shining right on him and he stuck out like a sore thumb at that table all by himself while the ones around him were full of people.

Henry was relieved that he and Charlotte weren’t together after all, then he was upset again because now Charlotte was by herself somewhere and he didn’t like that. He walked up to Jasper quickly, taking a seat next to him. His intention was to figure out what Jasper knew about Charlotte’s whereabouts and then speed off to find her, but once he noticed how upset Jasper looked he temporarily changed his plans.

“What’s wrong, what happened?” He questioned immediately. Last time he’d seen Jasper, he’d been drinking an excessive amount of punch and talking to some guy who was wearing the weirdest yet coolest suit Henry had ever seen.

“I asked someone to dance and they said no,” Jasper mumbled. “Well, actually, I asked a lot of people to dance and they said no, but I expected that.” Henry’s face softened at that. “I didn’t mind that, though. It’s just that the last person I asked…I wasn’t expecting it. I thought they’d say yes for sure.”

“I’m sure you’ll find someone else to dance with, Jasp.”

“I don’t want to find anyone else to dance with! I wanted to dance with that particular gu—girl because…she…has been acting like…she…is into me for a while now. We’ve even become pretty good friends and I just—”

“Jasper, I think it’s great that you like guys, and I wish you’d told me that instead of me having to figure it out for myself.” Henry grinned as he punched Jasper’s shoulder. “Of course, I’m not in any position to judge. I kept a huge secret from you for a long time too.” He chuckled. His chuckle turned into a laugh as soon as he noticed Jasper’s dumbfounded expression. “Figured it out ages ago, and I’ve just been waiting for you to tell me, but you never did…”

“I—I just thought that maybe it’d be weird or—”

“You’re a really weird guy, Jasper. But your sexuality is not.”

“That means a lot to me, Hen. Thank you.” Jasper grinned and went for a handshake but Henry pulled him in for a hug. “It’s no problem, dude. So why won’t he dance with you if he likes you?”

“I asked him that and he said he did want to dance but he’s too…ashamed.” Jasper sighed. “He doesn’t want people to see us dancing together because then they’ll know that we’re…you know.”

“Do you feel that way too? Like you don’t want people to know?”

“No. Now you know, and Charlotte definitely knows if you know because she’s good at figuring stuff out, and that’s all I care about. I don’t care how or if other people find out.”

“Well…what do you say we find where your guy is and dance? He’ll see us dancing together and get jealous, or at the very least realize that no one’s gonna say anything.”

“I don’t know, Henry, I know you came over to ask me where Charlotte is.”

Henry had forgotten all about that now that they’d gotten into this conversation. “I’ll find her after. We can dance for five or ten minutes and then I’ll find her. She’s probably not in any real danger.”

“I don’t know…”

“No seriously man, come dance with me.”

“…really?”

“You’re not just gonna sit here and look sad all night as long as I’m here, alright, so come on.”

Jasper nodded and smiled at his friend. Henry grabbed his wrist and practically dragged him onto the dance floor. It took them a few minutes to find where Jasper’s crush was, but once they did and they were sure he could see them, they began to dance to the pop song currently blaring through the speakers.

Henry and Jasper ended up dancing for twenty minutes, mostly acting goofy and trying to outdo each other. Henry did the backpack kid’s dance and twirled around like a ballerina and Jasper…well Henry wasn’t sure what Jasper was doing. He was just flinging his body around wildly and people made sure to stay out of his way so they wouldn’t get hit.

When a slow song finally came on, Jasper stopped dancing and blinked at Henry. He didn’t want his friend to feel awkward, but as Henry shrugged, smiled, and held his hands out playfully, those worries were washed away. Jasper was happy he had such an amazing best friend.

“I’m gonna blow your mind.” Henry lifted his chin proudly as he enunciated his words. After the summer he went to flower camp, he ended up going to a courtesy camp. His etiquette and his slow dance skills were impeccable.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to show them off to his best buddy because almost as soon as the song had started, Henry felt a tap on his shoulder. “Mind if I steal him?” It was Jasper’s crush who had asked, but Henry had forgotten about that already and he was beyond ready to show off two months worth of ballroom dance lessons. “Yeah, see, I went to courtesy camp, alright? And I learned some really amazing moves that I’d like to show Jasp, so if you could just move it along—”

Henry was cut off by Jasper practically shoving him out of the way and yelling that yes, he would love to dance with the oddly dressed boy.

Jasper yelled a quick 'thank you’ to Henry as Henry walked off the dance floor and bumped right into Charlotte.

“Char! I was gonna come looking for you a while ago, but then I got distracted with Jasper and—”

“Ohh I saw.” She smirked. “You two are both terrible dancers you know?”

“Where were you?” He asked, ignoring her (false) statement. “You were gone for a while.”

“Yeah, I had to find Piper and get her to give me her keys so I could go back to the car and grab my spare diamonds cause I felt like I really needed a few more in my hair. Then I got distracted cause when we came back in, Jana was having a dance off with some girl and ended up falling down again. Right through the floor.”

“What? Are you serious?” Henry laughed. Charlotte nodded. “I told you it was gonna happen to somebody one day. They really need to get this place fixed up…Why were you looking for me? Is everything okay?”

“Yeah! Yeah, everything’s great I was just ugh—Just worried about you.” He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as he stared down at her big brown eyes.

“That’s sweet, Henry.” Charlotte smiled. The wheels began turning in her head as she stared at her friend. He’d been giving her heart eyes all night, excessively complimenting her and keeping close tabs on her. And actually—it hadn’t just been tonight. It’d been every single time they were even remotely close to each other for the past month and a half. Charlotte was too smart to play dumb. She knew he liked her, though she had been questioning herself for thinking like that. At first, she thought maybe she was just overanalyzing things, but there was really no denying it now.

Charlotte probably should’ve been weirded out by the fact that her best friend seemingly had feelings for her, but she wasn’t. Henry, while sometimes difficult and sometimes prone to making stupid decisions, was a pretty amazing guy. He was funny, understanding, pretty caring, and not to mention great looking.

Usually, she’d take the time to think about all the possible consequences that could come with her being anything more than friends with her best friend, but it was prom night and she didn’t want to think sensibly. She wanted to let loose and have fun. She’d been doing a pretty good job of that all night and she wasn’t about to stop now.

“I need a huge favor.” She broke their silence and Henry nodded quickly. “Yeah, anything, Char.”

“I need you to dance with me! The one thing I haven’t done tonight is the main thing I came to do. Dance with a cute boy.”

Henry grinned like a Cheshire Cat and practically yanked Charlotte onto the dance floor. The songs had sped up, but Henry didn’t care. He was gonna show off his slow dancing skills no matter what.

“I went to Courtesy camp.” He told the guy closest to him.

*** A/N: I’ve literally never been to a prom before because I just never wanted to go, so I hope this is kinda accurate (you know, foodwise and stuff.)

I’m so proud of this! I think it’s really cute and I wrote this long ass thing because I really wanted some Henry Danger fluff. I needed a story with great Henry x Charlotte X Jasper friendship, supportive big brother Henry + supportive friends for Piper, supportive Henry of gay Jasper, Chenry ofc, and even a lil bit of (Henry and Jasper)

I think I covered all that pretty nicely! Only thing missing is ray. :(

[charlottesdanger]

alright I'm gonna make some Charlotte and Henry headcanons bc no one is stepping up to the plate

- Henry met Charlotte when they were in 6th grade. They sat next to each other in math. He started off annoyed at how often she raised her hand to answer a question in geometry. One day he drew the teacher as an obtuse triangle, and she happened to glance over sending her into a fit of laughter.

- ok so like the first time they kiss is when they are hanging out at Henry’s house. they are playing some dumb video game. Charlotte (being as competitive as she is) starts nudging and bumping into Henry until she’s practically in his lap. She crosses the finish line and throws her controller up to celebrate before realizing her proximity to her best friend. Everything kinda drowns out between them and Henry just goes for it

- 2 seconds later you hear a voice screaming, “THIS IS NOT OKAY.” They both break apart to find piper at the top of the steps. “She hangs around here enough! I don’t need you two dating so you can spend MORE time together!” Now Charlotte and Henry are embarrassed. Charlotte mutters off something about having to go immediately (despite her ride not being here and living 5 miles away)

- Henry can’t sleep that night. He flops over to read his clock. 11:17 pm. driven by sleep deprivation he quietly sneaks downstairs and hops on his bike and petals those 5 miles to Charlottes house. He was hoping he would think of a plan when he got to charlottes house but alas. He starts climbing the tree outside her window. Surprisingly, her lights are still on. after taking several shallow breaths he knocks twice on her window. Charlotte pulls her curtain back and becomes self aware of her oversized t-shirt and pulled back hair. “Hey.” Henry says. “WHY ARE YOU IN MY TREE?” Charlotte whisper-shouts back. “Are we not gonna talk about this?” “Alright. let’s talk.” Charlotte said opening her window wide enough for Henry to climb in. she took a seat on her bed and he joined her. Henry cleared his throat. “I didn’t even know I had those feelings for you until I was leaning towards you.” Henry began. “I think I have known my feelings for you for a while but I’ve been subconsciously repressing them.” Charlotte said. They sat in silence before Henry broke it. “do you wanna try this?” Charlotte took a deep breath and said, “ask me tomorrow, Hart.” Henry began to get up to leave before Charlotte gently pushed him back down and pointed at her bedside clock. It switched quickly from 11:59 to 12. “it’s tomorrow.” Charlotte whispered. “Charlotte,” he started slowly. “Would you maybe wanna try being my girlfriend?” “Yeah.”

- They start dating and continue to date through junior high. When they are alone Henry is very loving and affectionate. Like if Charlotte is texting, he will wrap his arms around her waist. or if they watch a movie on the couch, he is the big spoon. It may come from his anxiety of being a superhero and his need to hold onto something to keep it.

- At first they do not tell Ray; because he would come at them with a whole bunch of “I-told-you-so-s” and snarking comments about their relationship. But one day in the lair, when they are practicing take-downs, he notices lingering on the mat. “Charlotte, why are you still on top off Henry? if he was a villian, he could easily have you in a headlock now.” Charlotte stumbled off him quickly “yeah! you’re right my bad, I’m so bad at physical activity I should leave!” her words came out so quickly she’s didn’t know what she was saying. She headed towards the tubes to not risk further embarrassment. Henry stood up and brushed himself off no sooner than Ray could state: “You’re dating Charlotte.”

- As time goes on Charlotte becomes more and more anxious about Kid Danger. Though as a current 11th grader, he’s not a kid anymore. Charlotte won’t sleep until she gets a text from Henry saying that he’s okay. On particularly bad nights he will climb through her window and Charlotte will wrap his injuries. As she placed a small bandage over his split lip one night, she asked, How are you gonna explain this to your parents?“ he gave a half-hearted shrug. He was tired. "Do you wanna sleep here tonight?” Henry gave a slow heavy nod before falling back onto her bed, waiting for her to join him. Charlotte flicked the light switch and grasped his hands as they both drift to sleep.

- Charlotte loves sunflowers so on every birthday or anniversary she will find a bouquet waiting for her in her locker, on her doorstep, or in her desk.

- When Henry comes home after spending the day with a Charlotte his parents will comment on how he smells like her. But he knows. and he loves it.

I was just kind of spitballing ideas around, and this happened. Unfortunately, I don’t plan on writing a fic for it, but I still wanted to share. So, here’s a way Chenry might become canon? Obviously not what will actually happen, but it was a cute idea to dream up.

Henry does end up having trust issues after a couple years of side-kicking, between all the villains and the girls who leave him for the woods and the villainous girls. Charlotte ends up constantly reminding him to trust not everyone is out to get him, and encouraging him to go on dates with other people when they’re interested in him. That becomes awkwardly painful really fast when he realizes he just wants to be with her, but he can’t give that as a reason as to why he shouldn’t go on that date she planned for him, so every Saturday night, he  s u f f e r s.

When Henry realizes he likes her, he becomes a mess whenever she’s nearby. Always tripping, dropping things, and just becoming very clumsy because she’s right there oh my god she’s so pretty how can someone be this amazi-AHHH and then he walks into a wall or something because he was distracted.

When he finally tells her, Charlotte doesn’t actually like him back at that point. But she considers it, because he’s her friend and he means a lot to her and his feelings matter to her. Afterward, she doesn’t feel any different.

But she tell him she’ll give him a chance if he changes his fuckboy ways. Because she’s seen how he gets with girls and commitment, and she doesn’t want that with him. She barely tolerated it before, and if he were to try that while she was with him, she knows their friendship would probably be ruined as well.

Henry does try. He tries really hard. He listens to her about treating girls and their feelings with respect and treating them as equals, and ends up going to crazy lengths to prove his commitment to her and only her.

The problem is when he makes a point of not looking at anyone but her. I mean literally looking, even though Charlotte says that it’s completely unnecessary and you do not have to look away just because you can see above her ankle and dammit Henry he is your project partner you can look at him in the eye and eventually just oh my god you can have platonic relationships with other people, Henry, it doesn’t mean anything, look at us!

That’s the wrong thing to say.

Charlotte feels terrible after that one obviously, because she wanted to be secure in their relationship, but she totally made him insecure in it in the process. And he already had trust issues, and to him it probably felt like she was pushing him away, and the last thing she wanted to do is ruin their friendship, and she just told him it didn’t mean anything. She ends up profusely apologizing, but Henry is surprisingly calm about it. A little heartbroken, but calm.

He ends up apologizing too, saying he should have realized she didn’t want a relationship with him yet, and just given her time, and he shouldn’t have pushed it so much. He promises to still be her friend and there for her through anything, because he loves her no matter what and would like to be with her, even as a friend.

And that’s when Charlotte realizes that he has been listening to her. He may have taken it a bit far, but he’s been listening. And the way Henry’s looking into her eyes in that moment, it’s making her blood race and her cheeks heat up, and she just can’t think, and her heart flies up to her throat and she can’t speak and she can’t tell him that maybe she’s starting to like him too. And nothing comes out, and he walks away.

Next Saturday night, she ends up arranging another date for him. He’s against it, as usual, but she begs him to humor her, saying there’s this girl who really, really likes him. He ends up saying yes.

When Henry comes downstairs after getting ready and asks Charlotte when his date will get there, she says she’s already here. She’s his date. And she really, really likes him. If he still wants to.

Of course he does. Happy times ensue.

Charlotte: Piper! You almost hit Henry in the face!

Piper: I know, I missed.

Undercover With Danger

“Why do I have to take Charlotte?”

“Yeah why can’t Henry take Jasper?” I wondered.

“Because Jasper is an idiot!” Ray exclaimed.

“Really Ray?” I deadpanned.

“Okay he isn’t dumb he just isn’t smart either.”

“Huh?” Henry asked chuckling.

“Oh you know what I mean! Charlotte is the smart one, we all know this.”

“Facts.” I pipe up from next to Henry.

Ray turned to address me “Charlotte you are clever and know how to think on your feet. Henry will need you in order not to completely screw up this case.”

I sigh resigned, “True. No offense Hen.”

“Uh, full offense Char!” Henry exclaimed.

I simply shrug in response. “So when do we do this thing?”

“Tonight. Schowz is working on hacking in the system right now and putting your aliases on the list.”

“Okay so what do we do in the meantime?” I inquired towards Ray.

“You and Henry come up with your backstory and a general game plan for the evening. I’m going to go check on Schowz’s progress.”

“Can do.” Henry said as Ray starting walking away.

“Alright Char what are you thinking?”

“Well this mission is reconnaissance only. We need to find out as much information as possible without detection.”

“I think our best bet is to be a couple.”

You Can Never Run Fast Enough

It had been a few weeks since escaping the lion’s den. Literally and figuratively. And all Henry wanted to do was forget about Charlotte. But that was almost impossible because his best friend was always around. He hadn’t noticed how intertwined their lives were until he wanted to escape her. They walked to school together, they had classes together, they ate lunch together, they worked together, they walked home together.

It was never a problem until it was. Now it was a BIG problem. Henry wanted some time alone to process his emotions and decide if what he was starting to feel was genuine. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder right? Well he needed some absence and quick. Because all of this time around Charlotte was not helping his confused heart. Every interaction seemed forced and weird. Or maybe it was all in his head, he couldn’t tell. It was as if the world had been flipped on its axis but he was the only one that felt upside down. Everyone else was just living their life the same way they had been but to Henry it was like everything had changed.

As a last-ditch effort to get time away from Charlotte and some much need help with classes, he signed up for peer tutoring in every subject available. Being constantly distracted by his beautiful friend unsurprisingly meant that Henry wasn’t exactly thriving when it came to school. Tutoring would give him two hours alone everyday, well alone with the tutor, before he had to go to Junk N’ Stuff.

He had talked to Ray and told him that his grades were slipping and that he was going to start staying after school for help. At first the older man blew him off, saying that “School was for suckers” and to report to work as normal. That was until Henry explained that if he failed any classes his parents would make him quit. Ray’s tune switched immediately and he agreed to the change in routine.

On the first day of tutoring he was at his locker putting his books into his backpack when Charlotte and Jasper walked up to him.

“Hey dude, ready to go?” Jasper asked.

“Actually… I’m staying behind today.” Henry replied.

“Why?” Charlotte asks.

“Peer assistance” Henry says.

“That’s cool Hen. We’ll just catch you tomorrow then” Jasper responds.

“Actually…I have tutoring after school every day from now on” said Henry.

A confused look crosses Charlotte’s pretty face. “Why didn’t you just ask me to tutor you? You know I have the highest GPA in our grade.”

Henry starts stammering nervously. Of course he would have asked Charlotte under normal circumstances. But these were not those and he couldn’t just say, ‘I think I have massive crush on you but I’m not 100% sure so I’m trying to get away from you for a second.’ Yeah that would go over great. Not.

“B-because I didn’t think you would want to. I learn kind of slowly and it can be annoying. I didn’t want to bother you” Henry replied.

“We all process in our own ways Hen” said Jasper while placing a comforting hand on his friend’s shoulder and squeezing lightly.

“And I would never judge you for how your mind works. Plus I already know how you absorb information Henry, we’ve studied together for years. You’re mostly an auditory processor with emphasis on personal repetition for understanding” Charlotte countered.

Having no other reason to give besides the fact that he was running away from his feelings for her, Henry glances at his Wiz Watch and exclaims “Would you look at the time? I’m about to be tardy for tutoring. See you guys later!”

Looking at each other confused, Charlotte and Jasper decided to shrug off their friend’s weird behavior and made their way to work.

A few more weeks had passed with this new schedule. While the tutoring after school had succeeded in separating Henry from Charlotte for a short time everyday, it hadn’t separated Henry from his thoughts about her. But instead of confronting his feelings head on, Henry suppressed them. He attributed these newfound emotions to hormones. He didn’t want to date his bestie, he just finally noticed how gorgeous she was. Yeah that was it, it was only puberty playing tricks on him. Even though he had gone through puberty years ago, Henry reasoned that he must be having a second round. That happened, right?

Truly, he was just afraid to throw another wrench into their friendship after navigating the recent dream fiasco. They had both agreed that their subconsciouses were whack and that they didn’t like each other that way. So what was Henry doing liking her that way? Each time he interacted with Charlotte, his heart rate increased and his palms started sweating. Whenever she touched him, goosebumps erupted on his arms and his mouth went dry. Henry couldn’t control his body’s reaction to her presence and it was starting to get on his nerves. However, Henry was getting better at ACTING as if everything was normal.

One day at lunch it was just Henry and Charlotte at their table. Jasper had started a club for him and his fellow “Bucketeers” that met during lunch on Fridays which today was. They had already eaten and discarded their trash a few minutes prior.

Charlotte was telling Henry about the upcoming dance and what kind of dress she was thinking about designing for the occasion. Henry started to zone out when she went off on a tangent about patterns and fabrics. He was staring intensely at her moving lips when he noticed an approaching figure behind her.

A guy that Henry hadn’t seen before walked up to Charlotte quietly and placed both his hands over her eyes. She jumped in surprise at the sudden contact, then the stranger leaned down and whispered into her right ear.

“Guess who?” He questioned in a deep timbre.

“Clark Kent?” Charlotte responded with a giggle, obviously recognizing their voice.

“You wish sweetheart” the guy said and sat next to Charlotte. The dude was tall, but not taller than him Henry noted. He had black hair and brown eyes. He looked similar to Taylor Lautner from Twilight. He proceeded to wrap his arm around Charlotte’s waist causally. Watching this whole interaction with wide eyes, raised brows and a pit forming in his stomach, Henry struggled to reign in his jealousy. Who is this guy? And why is he touching my Charlotte?

“Who are you?” Henry asks the mystery man with a little more malice in his tone than necessary.

“Oh! Henry, this is my friend Jacob. Jacob, Henry.” Charlotte said easily.

“Sup man.” Jacob addresses Henry with a head nod and barely a glance in his direction before looking back down at Charlotte.

“So are you still coming over tonight?” Jacob inquires.

“Yeah I’ll be over right after sch-“

“So how did you two meet?” Henry interrupts her statement loudly.

“We have chemistry together” Char explained.

“That we do” Jacob said with a smirk.

Charlotte giggles again and slaps his arm. “You’re so dumb” she tells him.

“Only for you” he replies in a soft tone of voice while staring her in the eyes.

What is happening?! Henry questions himself. He did not like whatever this display was AT ALL. And what was with all the giggling? Charlotte does NOT giggle.

She clears her throat and finally breaks their eye contact. “Like I was trying to say earlier, I’ll come over again before work today.”

Again? How many times had she been over?

“Cool, can’t wait. Text me” Jacob responds while standing up from the lunch table. He smirked at Henry before sauntering away.

Henry glares at Jacob’s retreating back before turning back to his friend.

Charlotte sighs and bites her lip to hold back a smile.

“What was that?” Henry asks impatiently.

“Hm? What was what?”

“The whole exchange. The giggling, the touching, the eye contact? Do you like this guy?”

“I’m not sure yet. He’s attractive and smart but right now it’s just harmless flirting. Why?”

“Uh…no reason. I hadn’t heard anything about him then suddenly he’s all in your face.”

“I thought I did tell you about him? Oh you know what? I told Jasper. Yeah, when we were walking to work the other day. Guess I just forgot to mention it to you.”

“Huh. So why do you need to go to this guy’s house? Multiple times?” Henry asked.

“We had an experiment in class and we’ve been working on the lab report together.”

“Interesting. When do you think that’ll be done?”

“Probably tonight? Why does it matter?”

“Just curious.”

“Oooookkkk” Charlotte says while giving her friend a puzzled look.

The bell signaling the end of lunch rang and both teens stood up.

“I have Chemistry now so I’ll catch up with you later” Charlotte said, turning in the direction of her next class.

Henry grabbed her hand before she could walk away. Tingles radiated through his palm from the simple touch. He pulled her gently to him before hugging her tightly. It took Charlotte a second but then she returned the affection. A feeling of contentment washed over Henry as he held her in his arms for a few seconds longer than normal. “See you at work Char” Henry whispered to her, lips brushing the shell of ear with every word.

A small shiver ran through Charlotte at the contact. Since they were still hugging, Henry felt this and pulled back to look at her. His hands were now wrapped around her hips instead of her waist. Henry’s thumbs involuntarily started rubbing small circles on the exposed sliver of skin where her shirt had ridden up. This caused Charlotte to shiver lightly again.

“Are you cold?” Henry questioned.

Stepping out of his arms Charlotte shook her head “No I’m fine, don’t worry about it”.

But her tall friend was already shrugging out of his jacket and placing it on her shoulders. He adjusted the front and smiled satisfied. “There. Now you’ll be covered if you get cold later. I better get going, my English course is on the other side of campus.”

“Alright, see ya.” Charlotte responded.

“You look good in my clothes Page” Henry stated while scanning her body up and down slowly. Before she could respond, he threw up a quick wave and walked away.

As he was making his way to class Henry wondered how that Jacob dude was going to respond to Char wearing his jacket. He’ll definitely recognize that it’s mine since he just saw me wearing it. That’ll show him not to mess with my girl. Henry realized that if he didn’t make a move soon, he could loose Charlotte to that Teen Wolf reject. It was time to accept that he liked her as way more than a friend.

Game on.

“What’s your problem?” Chenry

Thanks for the prompt, anon!

This is honestly a bit of a revamp of what was supposed to be the first drabble in a series I was working on a while back. To give you an idea of just how abandoned the series is, I originally came up with it in 2016. I ended up adopting that larger plot for an original novel I’m kind of working on, but I’ll probably post some other scenes from that as #scrapped at some point.

This, however, is technically complete. I hope you like it!

“What’s your problem?” Henry demands. 

Arms crossed in defiance, hip cocked, and a scowl on her face, Charlotte looks up at Henry, who is currently decked in his Kid Danger get-up and covered in soot. His eyes are wide, reflecting the fire in the trees behind her in the park.

Why isn’t he understanding? He’s putting them both at risk.

“He- Kid Danger,” Charlotte quickly covers up her slip. Who knew if someone was eavesdropping on them? “Captain Man needs you. You can’t stay here.”

“You…the citizens of Swellview will be in danger if I leave,” Kid Danger says.

Charlotte isn’t fooled. “Ember and Pyre already left! And they’ll probably set fire to wherever Captain Man is. And you know how easily he falls for traps. So go!”

“And if they comes back?” he shoots back. “Charlotte, you’re here, all these people are here, and you’re vulnerable.”

She nearly hisses at his wording, and it must show on her face because he immediately backs up, hands in front of him.

“I’m not some damsel in distress!”

“You’re not, but I don’t want you to get hurt!” Kid Danger immediately responds. “It’s too risky.”

“You think you can take all these risks, but no one else can?” Charlotte is close to yelling now as she leans forward, getting in his face. When she speaks next, the words are a low, dangerous whisper. “Captain Man may be indestructible, but you’re not! You don’t even have your reflexes anymore.”

“I’ve been doing this for years, okay, Char?” he says. “With and without my powers. I know what I’m doing.”

“That doesn’t mean you can’t get hurt,” she spits at him. “If I have to watch you go out there and fight danger everyday, you can handle me in the backdrop doing a bit of hero support every now and then.”

She turns away and is about to walk straight back into the burning park he dragged her out of just a few minutes ago when he grabs her hand. Charlotte whips around, ready to wrench herself out of his grip, when she sees his face. He looks wrecked.

Charlotte snaps herself out of whatever trance she had fallen into just as Henry takes a deep breath, as if whatever he is about to say physically pains him. 

“If I saw you get hurt…” He closes his eyes. “I don’t know what I’d do.”

“Then go, don’t watch,” she can’t help but bite out. But when she sees the hurt flash on his face, she softens. “I’ll be fine.” Sighing, Charlotte looks up at him and rubs a bit of the soot off the tip of his nose. “I’ll evacuate everyone left here, and then I’ll get out, I promise. I’m part of the team, too, okay? I have to take the risks, too, and you have to trust me to take care of myself. I’ll meet you back at the Man Cave. Worry about yourself.”

Henry hesitates, but eventually he nods. Before she can understand what is happening, he pulls her into a hug, breathing in the ashes in her hair.

“Fine,” he says. “I’ll go. Be careful.”

“You too.”

Charlotte wraps her arms around his shoulders, reaching up to make up for their height difference. He hunches over, pulling her closer still.

“Is this okay?” she hesitantly asks. “You���re still Kid Danger. What if someone sees?”

His arms tighten around her, and despite her words, she squeezes him back just as hard.

“Don’t care. Just…don’t let go just yet.”

Sleepless Nights in Swellview

A Chenry fic that I wrote to cope with saturday’s episode.

Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/18240281

Henry hadn’t slept in a week. He wondered if Charlotte had gotten any sleep when she’d been having the dreams. Maybe Schwoz could make him something to get rid of his dreams. But then he’d have to explain to Schwoz that everytime he closed his eyes he saw Charlotte staring at him, getting ever closer, and telling him they had to kiss.

And that almost seemed worse than the dreams.
