Erik, Please Unwrap The Journalist

Summary: Someone criticises Erik's clothing. Erik is NOT pouting.

A/N: Another drabble for the #IFDrabble challenge on AO3. X-Men this time.


"Did you have to wrap that poor journalist in a lamppost?"

Erik was not pouting. Magneto didn't pout.

"My getup is perfectly fashionable."

Charles sighed. "Erik, that colour is atrocious."

"It's not my fault that I'm colour-blind!"

Charles consolingly patted Erik's arm. "They're just ignorant humans. They'll learn."

"They criticise my attire but they're fine with you showing up in a denim suit."

Beat.

"Actually, why exactly...?"

"I lost a bet."

"You're shit at lying."

"Raven made me wear it."

"Uh-huh."

"Erik, please unwrap the journalist."

"No."

"For me?"

"Alright, alright."

"Thank you my friend."

"No more denim suits."

"No."


A/N: This idea was prompted by someone (if I ever remember who, I'll give credit) saying that Erik being colour-blind explained so much (and giving me new head-canon). Happy International Fanworks Day!
