Set after X-men: First Class. The pairing will eventually be Cherik. This is an AU where Erik and Raven stayed and Charles is not in a wheelchair. Disclaimer: I own nothing. Thanks to Mero-chan for helping with grammar.
"You have to learn to be more discreet."
Charles jumped slightly at the sound of a voice behind him.
"What do you mean?"
Raven grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to face her. "What do I mean? You're meant to be the smart one; you figure it out." With that she left the room, leaving Charles dumbfounded.
This scene happened for the rest of the week. Raven would find Charles, wherever he was, and then start the conversation. Charles, idiotically, would give the same response and then she'd leave. Finally, when the week was over, Charles had had enough. He waited for Raven and when she entered it was his turn to start.
"I made a promise to you. I promised I would never read your mind without your permission, but if you intend to say things that make no sense then you leave me with little choice," Raven simply smirked in response. "What?"
"All I've been saying is that you're being obvious and need to tone it down," Raven was trying to hold back her laughter.
"Obvious about what? And what's so funny?" He had confusion written all over his face.
"I can answer both those questions with one name." Charles was starting to lose his patience.
"And whose name might that be?"
"Erik."
"Elaborate. What about Erik is obvious and what about Erik is so funny?"
"The answer to both is simple: your crush on him." Before Charles had a chance to reply Raven ran out of the room, leaving a trail of laughter as she went. This was the conversation that made Charles' life that bit more interesting…
Sorry it's short but this is just the prologue. Chapter one should, hopefully, be up soon.
