This takes place before the first movie. Erik visits Charles in the hospital after the accident that left him paralyzed. The song is My Sacrifice and is in italics.
My Sacrifice
Hello my friend we meet again
It's been a while where should we begin...feels like forever
Within my heart are memories
Of perfect love that you gave to me
I remember
Erik stared down at Charles as he lay asleep in the hospital bed. 'I know I was the one who broke it off, but that still doesn't mean I don't remember the love we shared. Or that I don't care about you. It's just...we always fought, I was tired of hurting you. But now...seeing you like this, I realize just how much I missed you. I miss your smiles, your laughter, I even miss you when you're angry.'
When you are with me
I'm free...I'm careless...I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice
Erik reached out, brushing his fingers gently across Charles temple. 'Why did I leave you?' He thought, feeling tears spring to his eyes. 'I know I still love you...so why? Just because some of our ideas our different? Because we argued? I don't remember anymore.'
We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around in an instant
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there
'It's been too long since I've seen you, or talked to you. It makes me happy to see you again...even if the circumstances are not favorable. I don't want to leave you again. Will you forgive me?'
When you are with me
I'm free...I'm careless...I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice
Erik moved over and sat next to Charles on the bed, holding the other man's hand in both of his own. He leaned down and kissed his former lover and friend's cheek. He softly brushed his lips up to plant a kiss on his temple.
I just want to say hello again
Charles' eyes opened slowly, widening as he saw his guest. "Erik," He whispered softly, reaching up to stroke his temple softly. "You...came to see me." Erik just smiled.
"Hello, Charles." He said, leaning so close their lips almost touched. He raised his eyebrows in a silent question and Charles smiled and reached up to pull Erik into a deep kiss. "Will you forgive me? For all that I've done to hurt you?" Erik asked after they parted.
"I'll forgive you, Erik." Charles said, stroking the other man's cheek. "Even if you leave me again, I'll still forgive you, I always will, my love."
"I won't leave you again..." Erik whispered, even though they both knew he probably would. Right now it didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was they were together.
The end.
Let me know what you think!
