Erik woke up with Salam purring on his bare chest. He picked him up and walked into the kitchen. He waved his hand so his bowl lifted off the ground.
Erik went to grab it but then he saw a man sleeping on his couch. "Holy!" Erik jumped and dropped the bowl causing a loud "clang!"
Charles jumped up out of his sleep. The noise startled him and he was confused on where he was.
"I'm sorry!" Erik began to apologize, "I forgot you were here and you just scared me," he said as he bent down to pick up the bowl.
Charles stood up and began to fold the blankets. "Sorry," he blushed. "And thank you again."
Then it was silent. They both wanted to say something but weren't sure what to say.
"Can I take you out to breakfast?" Charles asked. Erik looked at him surprised. "It's the least I could do besides say thank you five times," he started. "You really didn't have to give me a ride and you didn't have to let me sleep on your couch." Charles felt like he was just vomiting words out. He didn't know what it was about this man but he was different.
"No, yeah sure," Erik said flattered. "It's not really breakfast anymore..."
"Well you can just call me when ever you want a bite to eat," Charles smiled.
What was it about this man that makes Erik trust him so much?
"Alright sure," Erik said with a smile. He put Salam down on the floor and he began to eat. "Well, let me put a shirt on and I can drive you home."
"Actually could you drive me to my sister's boyfriend's house? Raven has my keys," he asked.
Erik didn't see anything wrong with it so he got dressed and drove him to Hank's apartment. Charles took out his pen and opened up his book he wrote down his number ripped out the page, folded it in half, and handed him the paper. "Just call me when ever you're free to eat," Charles smiled. "It doesn't have to be just breakfast. We could eat lunch or something."
"Thanks," Erik said as he took the paper he tried not to blush. "Is this a date?" He thought to himself.
Charles didn't want to know what he was thinking as he walked up to Hank's door. Normal people have to wait and see of someone likes them.
Normal people also don't sleep over strangers houses and not sleep with them.
