Can't Ruin My Day Pt. 3

Pairing: Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr (X-Men: First Class)

Their arms were hooked loosely. Their bodies wavered back and forth while they walked, bumping occasionally. The silence between the two was oddly enough a good kind of silence.

"So how did you sleep last night?" Charles' voice was genuine, his smile was infectious and Erik, once again, found himself smiling back when he had not intended to.

"Probably the best I've ever slept. I'm in a wonderful place with... friends... for once in a very, very long time. I feel at ease, safe, even."

"I'm truly happy you feel that way, Erik. That's all I want for you really. So what are you planning on doing while waiting for me to wake up?" Erik cleared his throat and scratched his nose.

"Probably take the kids for a jog, do some stretches, get a good idea of the land layout you have here so I can set up a good pace for future work outs." Charles nodded and hummed.

"That sounds like a good idea."

"Well you know more about what you want to accomplish here than I do, I'm just the assistant that can only help out so much. I'm your student while I'm here as well, though." Erik heard the shorter man let out a small sigh.

"Erik, you silly man, you're so much more than my assistant or my student, don't you see?" Due to the last of the sentence trailing off into an in-audible mumble, Erik grew concerned when Charles suddenly leaned his body against his, burying his face into the taller man's shoulder. Erik turned carefully and held Charles' shoulder, placing the back side of his other hand on the other man's forehead.

"Are you alright, Charles?" Erik is so blind sometimes but it's incredibly cute when he completely misunderstands him in moments like this. He looks so concerned for Charles' well being right now, he couldn't help but giggle.

"I'm fine, love. You're just so warm." Erik froze when Charles gently pulled at Erik's shirt and buried his face into his chest, his hair tickling the metal bender's neck and chin.

"You startled me, I thought you might be sick-" Charles pressed the rest of his body flat against Erik's and slid his arms around the firm body before him in an embrace.

"I love you Erik. I truly and wholeheartedly care about you in ways that I shouldn't. Ways that a man shouldn't care for another man. Do you understand?" For several moments, Erik remained quiet, determining whether or not he should let himself be captured by this man's merciless love and compassion. He knew that if he had completely let his walls down, Charles would engulf him with a passion and desire that he would never be able to rid himself of. That man would haunt him in his dreams and shake his very core with mere words of devotion and everlasting love. This man, Charles, held the key to his heart, a key to his happy future, a key to a clean conscious and cleansed hands, a key that he didn't even know existed. If Erik let Charles into his heart completely, there was no turning back, never, Erik could never go back to the monster he was, it was impossible.

"Yesterday," His voice choked low in his throat, "I meant to tell you the rest of that sentence, Charles. I found that special person, I found my other half, it's you, Charles. It's been you all this time." Erik wrapped his arms softly around your waist and pull you close, letting out a hitched breath. "I love you."

"Oh! There you are, Charles! I've been looking all over this place for you!" Moira turned the corner and started walking up to them. When Charles attempted to pull away, Erik kept his hold firm around the frailer man's body and glared the most threatening glare he could muster at the agent. Charles noted this and looked to Moira to see what she would do and laughed when she quickly stopped in her tracks, excused herself and left the way she came.

"Why do I get the feeling that she's going to screw up everything and that I'm going to have to choke a-" Charles cupped both sides of Erik's face with his hands and yanked his head down to face him.

"I believe you were taking me to my room so we could take a nap, no?" Erik lifted an eyebrow.

"I thought you we-" Charles closed his eyes and ducked his head in frustration when it clicked in Erik's head. His eyes shot open wide. "Oh. Nap… I see…"

"There we go."


This is based off of an online RP I did with my girlfriend, so some of the lines were copied straight from the conversation if anything seems odd or out of place. Thank you for reading! There was going to be a smut scene but my mojo's running a little low for that right now, might go back later and add it but I probably won't :(
