X Men Folks Class

Chapter 2

Charles

Six hours, five service stations and two pullovers later we finally arrived in Forks. We were up at six, it shouldn't have taken this long but Erik kept pulling over. God that man is insatiable but I really couldn't complain about it. We pulled up to a small three bedroom house in a lovely neighbourhood. Giving Erik a peck on the cheek I climbed out of the car and walked towards the house. I waited for Erik at the gate took his hand and we walked up the path towards the door.

We didn't even get the chance to knock as Charlie opened the door. His face was emotionless, his eyes managed to zoom in on our joined hands. He seemed surprised at this but then again I never did tell him his only son was gay.

"Dad it's good to see you, this is Erik" I gestured towards Erik with my free hand

"Charles, Erik please come on in" he nodded for us to follow him back into the house.

We settled in the living room. It was small and there was a sofa facing a flat screen TV. I looked around to see school photos of Bella and I on the fire place. May be he did care after all. Once we had sat down on the sofa Charlie left to make us some tea. I couldn't help but chuckle must have been rubbing off on Erik if he didn't ask for coffee.

Leaning into Erik's side to get more comfortable I felt the presence of two minds approaching. One was my Bells but the other was peculiar.

'Bella's home' I told Erik with my mind

'Does she know about your preference?' he replied smugly

'Haha you mean my preference for men, no she doesn't' I told him while I moved to kiss his lips.

"Well well well, I always thought it would be the other way round, you would catch me in the act" we both pulled away at Bella's voice, startled

"You won't have been the first to catch us-" I didn't allow Erik to finish his sentence

"Erik!" I stood and move to embrace my sister "God I've missed you Bells"

"Missed you too Chuck" She knew I hated that nickname, I didn't dare see what Erik was thinking

"Bella this is Erik" I anxiously introduced the two most important people in my life when I finally noticed the pale boy stood behind her.

He had golden eyes that had to be the most fascinating mutated colour I had ever seen, they were brought out more by the bronze of his hair and his sharp pale cheek bones. He was attractive but nothing in comparison to my Erik. His mind was the one I had sensed and it had baffled me. It was extremely intelligent and old but he gave the appearance of a seventeen year old. It was at that moment that he looked at me and I knew his biggest secret.

"So your Charles' boyfriend?" Bella asked curiously

"I suppose you could say that" Erik's voice was laced with amusement

He looped his arm around my waist sending a quick 'Perfection' in my direction

"Bella who is this lovely young man I see behind you?" I asked knowingly

"Chuck why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?" Bella's voice rang with laughter and Erik began to laugh along

"I was being polite, Edward I'm very pleased to meet you" I held out my hand for him to shake

'We both have a lot of explaining to do, Bella will not be missing this party with your family I assure you' Edward looked so confused, poor boy

"Bella you didn't tell him" I turned to her and saw the guilty look on her face

"Right Bella, Erik get your coat, we have a party to attend to" I smirked in Bella's direction

We said goodbye to Charlie and all got into Edwards Volvo. I could sense Erik admiring it quiet loudly in his head. 'You and your cars' I sent towards him, his response made me blush.

"Charles I don't even want to know why your blushing but I'm sure we have Erik to thank for it" Bella giggled from the front seat

The drive to the Cullen's house wasn't long at all. The large amounts of forest we passed were utterly beautiful, I couldn't wait to take Erik hiking.

We pulled up the a massive modern house. The front was covered with large open windows, it was spectacular. A tiny pang of home sickness rushed through me, I missed the mansion and needed to call Hank to see how the kids were doing. I must have been projecting as Erik wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear.

"The children are fine, Hank will keep Sean and Alex from leading the little ones a stray" He always knew what to say.

I noticed Edward giving us a strange look, oh he must have heard that. Well they were like our adopted children, they had nowhere else to go, parents didn't want them. They needed love and guidance which is what Erik and I provided. I kissed Erik's lips to let him know I was alright and followed Bella up the steps of the house.

The others must have heard us coming as there was six people lined up and ready to meet us. The head of the family stepped forward to greet us. I tried my best not to wander into anyone's mind but I could feel a sharp nudge at mine. Edward was trying to read my mind.

"Edward be a good chap and behave, its rude to read people's minds without asking" I spoke aloud as I went to shake the leaders hand. There was a tinkling laughter.

"Hello I am Charles Xavier, Bella's older brother. This here is the lovely Erik Lensherr. We are Mutants." Explaining as I took the leaders hand. He then went to shake Erik's hand.

"I'm Carlisle, my wife Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie. This is my family. Might I ask what is a mutant" Carlisle pointed out each person as he spoke.

"Our genes have mutated allowing us to have certain special abilities. Like Edward here can read minds now he is a vampire but I've been able to do that my whole life" The seven vampires gasped as I was straight to the point. No need in dancing around the subject if I already knew.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Carlisle tried to play innocent

"He said your vampires" answered Erik taking a step forward to get a closer look at Carlisle. Jasper didn't like that and hissed at him.

"What is your problem curly?" Erik asked turning to look at Jasper while managing to bring a few metal objects in the house towards him.

"Erik put those back please" I told him firmly while taking his hand reassuringly. "Why don't we go and sit down, Bella has a lot of explaining to do".

Carlisle took our advise and led us to the living room where everybody took a seat.

"Can I get you anything?" Esme kindly asked

"Tea please" Bella and I replied at the same time followed by a "Coffee" from Erik. We were more alike than we seemed to notice.

"Ask away, I know your all dying to" I could hear their questions quiet loudly in my head.

"How are you related? You have a British accent" Alice asked

"Well you see dear I was born in Britain and live there till I was about three. Then we moved to Westchester where Bells here was born. Never got rid of the accent. Although I did spend a lot of time at Oxford so that may be a factor too" I smiled

"Charles you sounded like that when I met you at the start of your Oxford years" Erik added humorously

"Yeah he was an odd kid" Bella threw out

"Thank you for your input Bella, Erik" I glared at them playfully "Next"

"Dude you guys are together right?" Emmett asked which lead to a lot of "Emmett" around the room. Esme entered swiftly handing out cups and gently smack Emmett around the back of his head.

"Yes we are" I answered whilst staring at Erik's handsome face

"Met Charles back in Oxford. His car broke down and I was the local mechanic. Had quite a heated argument when he came to pick up his car and he walked away with my number and some very chapped lips" Erik always loved to tell our story

There were a couple of loud awws and a noticeable ewwwwww. Which made me laugh.

"He tried to charge me a scandalous price so I had to bargain with him" I tried to defend my actions.

"You always were a flirt" Bella said patting my shoulder.

"So you can read minds?" Edwards question rang clearly silencing everyone. They all seemed interested in the answer to this one.

"I am a telepath, have been for as long as I can remember" turning to look at Edward to see what he was getting at.

"So you can do more than just read them?" He asked enthusiastically

"I can control and speak to minds if I wish too" Edward looked shocked by this.

"But you forget Chuck, your morals are so high that you'd be guilty for weeks just forcing someone to get you a pen" Bella teased me again

"As anyone should, people must have freedom to do and think as they please. I try not to alter that too much" my voice sounded so serious

"How come you can hear me but I can't hear either of your thoughts?" Edward sounded frustrated

"Well while we were in Oxford we met a lovely young lady by the name of Emma Frost. Let's just say she taught both of us not to let our guards down" I couldn't stop the flashback of meeting the white queen.

"Before outside you mentioned something about children" Esme wondered aloud

"We own a school for Mutants. Their parents have either died or no longer want them due to their abilities. We take them in, teach them how to control it and give them a real education along the way. We only have a few children at the moment but I guess you could say we treat them as our own" you could hear the love in my voice

"Except for Sean, I don't pretend he's mine" Erik earned a light slap for that comment.

"We have four over eighteen but they have been with us for a while and three little ones under the age of ten. Hopefully we will have four or five more by the end of next month" I really did love those darn children.

We stayed with the Cullen's for a couple more hours, talking and celebrating Bella's birthday. More than once I had to save her from an accident but it all went swimmingly. They seemed like intriguing people. I was impressed by their way of life, their choice to not harm humans.

Edward drove us home at around ten as I was afraid Bella wouldn't get up for school the next morning. She could barely keep her eyes open as it was. We all said our goodbyes to Edward and marched off into the house where Charlie was watching baseball. Eurghhhh does he do anything other than watch that dreadful sport.

As soon as we entered the living room I sent Bella off to bed with a small warning about Edward staying the night. Erik and I stayed down stairs for another hour or so trying to converse with Charlie but it was terribly boring so we finally set off up the stairs to the guest room. This took place after Charlie tried to make Erik sleep on the sofa but we shut that down straight away.

Exhausted by the strain of information from the day, I threw myself on the bed fully clothed. Erik fumbled around getting himself ready for bed but I just lay there and watched him. He looked so good without a shirt on, mmmmmm. He turned to look at me as if I had spoke this aloud and made his way over to the small double bed I was currently occupying.

He lay his body over mine and began to kiss me hungrily. His hands found their way under my shirt, trailing lightly along my spine. Up and down, up and down. Causing my body to shiver. My shirt was quickly disguarded.

"Let me help you out of those clothes" Erik whispered lustfully in my ear.

As his hands reached my belt the lock on the door clicked shut.

Please review, gives me more motivation to get the next chapter up
