Charlie looked at the box of sweets that George had sent him via owl and smiled with amusement. Whenever his brother wanted something, he would send over something to eat. He popped one of the old-fashioned looking Christmas sweets into his mouth and picked up the enclosed letter.

Get your arse down to the Leaky Cauldron tonight!

"Charming," Charlie said and started coughing as the bonbon turned from innocent and Christmassy to disgusting. One would have thought he'd learned by now not to eat anything that came from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. At least his face hadn't swelled up this time.

After having washed out his mouth and throwing George's latest gift into the bin, Charlie went to the bedroom to get a fresh shirt. He knew better than to leave George hanging if he wanted something—especially since he hadn't asked Charlie to go out with him in ages. In fact, Charlie couldn't remember when he'd asked last. Usually, George would only send over food in order to have Charlie come over or do something for him.

Charlie found himself excited by the prospect of meeting his brother actually outside of his flat, and he decided to wear something nice.

Brotherly love and a bit of blackmail. ;)

Aw, Charlie's a good brother.

He definitely is! And he knows that George has some tricks up his sleeve, too... ;)
