Who: Erik and Charles
Where: Charles' place
What: Charles being avoidy.
Warnings: Probably nothing

Charles hasn't been able to think. It wasn't exactly something he normally had a problem with, but he really had no idea what to do. Sadako hadn't said a word, but her implications had been clear and he couldn't just ignore them anymore. He just had no idea what to do about it.

Erik being around made everything worse. He didn't know if Erik had anything close to similar feelings and he highly doubted it. So he had to figure out what to do about all of this. So he had been pushing Erik away, at least until he could straighten things out in his head. Erik had mentioned coming over and Charles told him he had too many papers to grade and he couldn't handle distraction right now. Erik didn't sound too happy about it, but he didn't push it, luckily.

Charles set to actually grading the papers. It wasn't nearly as daunting a task as he'd pretending, but it did still need to be done.

	That was much better, actually, and far more stable, which meant that Erik could lean up into the kiss in turn, fingers settling against the nape of Charles' neck again, deepening the kiss after a moment, simply because he could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charles moaned into the kiss. He threaded his fingers into Erik's short hair, pulling just a little. Every now and then it would hit him that this was really happening and he'd kiss him harder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which was all well and good with Erik, at least until the need to breathe won out and he finally drew back, fingers kneading against Charles' nape once more. His tongue slid out along his lower lip once again, the movement reflexive, and then, struck with a thought his brow furrowed, "Haven't you got papers to grade?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charles had been distracted by the tongue and didn't respond at first. "What? Oh." The papers he had lied about. "About that. I might have been slightly exaggerating on the number of papers I had." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-25 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	And there was that twitch of a smile again, a little more lasting this time than it usually was, "Ah, of course." His brow arched, trying -and failing- to keep the smile in check, "Then might I suggest moving somewhere other than the kitchen floor?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charles liked to see Erik smiling. "I don't know. I'm very comfortable here." He really was too. And standing would probably be difficult, walking even worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shrugged then, shifting to fold one arm behind his head, the other still curled around Charles' waist, oddly reluctant to let go, still half-worried that this might all be some dream or hallucination or something other than reality, "I've slept worse places, I suppose." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charles grinned; he noticed the arm still around his waist and liked Erik keeping him close. "If you want me to move you'd have to let me go." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-26 02:26 am UTC (link)
	"I would, wouldn't I?" And yet, he made no move to do so just yet. Apparently Charles' fleeting, irrational fear of Erik leaving went both ways. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charles kissed him again, glad that Erik wasn't letting him go. He pulled back after a heated kiss. "This really didn't go how I thought it would. I'm really happy about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It was ... unexpected." He replied, brow creasing, he'd been trying to come up with another word, but 'unexpected' was really what he meant, so there was no use trying to use something else, "Still not entirely sure I'm not dreaming." Though, generally, Erik's dreams were much less pleasant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-26 03:24 am UTC (link)
	Charles couldn't stop smiling. He wasn't sure he'd ever stop smiling. "I sure hope it's not a dream." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-26 03:32 am UTC (link)
	"Mm, so do I, or things are going to take a turn for the worse any minute now." It was a little strange, just admitting that, even though he suspected Charles knew already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-26 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"No turn for the worse," Charles said, leaning down to kiss him again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-26 03:56 am UTC (link)
	He'd been about to answer when Charles kissed him again, and he certainly wasn't going to argue that, even if this did turn out to be a dream. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-26 04:42 am UTC (link)
	He should just do this all the time. Really. He moved away for a moment. "God, I love this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-26 04:47 am UTC (link)
	"What?" His brow furrowed, "Being able to shut me up so easily?" There was amusement in the tone, and a lot of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-26 04:48 am UTC (link)
	Charles laughed. "Added bonus, but I was meaning more the kissing bit. The getting to kiss you bit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-26 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"I would ask why you didn't try it before, but I don't know that I would have accepted it before." In fact, he was pretty sure he would have turned tail and run if Charles had done anything before now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-26 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I didn't think you'd accept it now." Which was the truth. That's why he'd been worrying so much about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-26 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Probably wouldn't have, if you'd done it last week." There was a pause, mulling it over for a moment, "Really didn't know I was going to accept it myself, until I had." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Charles shrugged. "Last week I hadn't even thought of doing this. Or at least, I hadn't let myself think of this. Like I said, Sadako made a few hints and finally I couldn't ignore them anymore. She knew from the first time I met her." Which was a little frightening that she knew before he did. He shook his head. "I'm glad you didn't push me away. Or punch me, which is what I thought you would probably do."

	"I'd thought about it, for a moment." He admitted, "But only a moment." There was that twitch of a smile again, brow arching, "And as to Sadako knowing, I should say that's what happens when you make friends with telepaths. They know things." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Right, especially when you tell them it's fine for them to look into your mind whenever. I've done my best to not read you, I know you don't really like it." Laying on Erik was just starting to not be as comfortable as it was to start with. "Hm, maybe we should move to the living room. Might be a bit more comfortable." He wouldn't try to move until Erik let go of his waist.

	Mostly Erik didn't like the idea of what Charles might find there, things that he'd hidden even from himself after all these years. "Probably should." He agreed, though even still it was a long moment before he relaxed his hold, propping himself up on his elbows a moment later, smile emerging once more as he caught sight of the toppled chair.
