Warnings for dark!Charles, murder, mind manipulation, and suicide.
Quick background for this, it was written for a prompt on the kinkmeme that asked for Post-divorce, during a confrontation between the X-Men and the Brotherhood, Charles is separated from his team and suffers a head trauma. Magneto (or whoever was leading the Brotherhood team) brings Charles back to base. There, Charles wakes up and doesn't recognize Erik or Raven. He has no memories, not even of his childhood. Erik struggles against the urge to mold a Charles who will finally stay by his side. This is just an excerpt from this 'verse.
Solider
Erik stands over the bed and watches Charles' sleep soft face. He's quiet and breathing softquietpeaceful and nothing like him.
Charles winks and says, "Let's just forget this every happened, yes chaps?" and the soldiers laugh and smile and don't say anything but they walk away.
Erik read the paper. There was a group of five U.S. Marines that killed themselves in succession of each other. The coroner was quoted saying, "Shell shock. It's a shame about these fine young men. God bless their mothers and families."
The paper doesn't mention the note one left saying, there's something wrong. in me - my brain. it's crawling and won't leave. outoutoutoutoutoutout.
He reaches his hand out and sweeps away some of Charles' dark soft hair from his face. He sighs and pulls back the covers and sits himself down on the bed.
Charles shifts and wakes. He smiles, bleary eyed and half broken. He says, "Hey."
Erik presses a kiss to his forehead and says, "Good night Charles."then the lights are out with a flick of his wrist and Charles is softly snoring.
Erik's last thought before he slips in to black, bliss sleep is what have i done?
