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.

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	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.

	Charles waited for Erik's arm to loosen and worked to stand up, feeling a little dizy. He looker where Erik was looking and laughed at the chair. He reached down to help him up. His balance wasn't great, but he wouldn't fall over again, probably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-27 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Once he'd unfolded to his feet he dusted himself off, righting the chair as well, shaking his head again, "I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting when I came here." He said, "But I don't think this was anywhere on the list." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-27 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Charles laughed. "I think I would be worries if this was what you were expecting. Making out on my kitchen floor? I don't think expected would be my descriptor for this evenings events." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He settled himself on the couch, stretching his legs out in front of him as he so often did, "Something you were planning more for the weekend?" He asked, sounding completely serious, head tilted slightly. Apparently he did have a sense of humor in there somewhere, though it was dusty and little-used. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-27 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Charles laughed. "I wasn't exactly planning anything. Well, that's not true. My plan had been to avoid you until I could control myself around you. We can see how that worked out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-27 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm glad that plan fell through, at least, otherwise it might have been years before we got around to this." The whole situation was still a little strange to him, but the oddness of it was rapidly fading. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-27 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	"So am I," he said simply, sitting down on the couch closer to Erik than he normally would. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-27 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	He tilted his head, studying the telepath for a moment, likely more relaxed than he'd ever been, though there was still the underlying readiness there, that wasn't likely to ever go away, especially after this long, "What now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	groovy_mutation 2011-08-27 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	Erik looked over at him, a small smile on his face, "I have no idea. I've never really." he stopped and bit his lip. "I've only had one night stands. I've never done long term. I don't want to mess things up too much." He didn't want to rush into anything. That could cause problems and he actually cared about Erik. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	serene_rage 2011-08-27 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Well that makes two of us." And add to that the fact that Erik had thought any capacity he'd had for actual feelings had died with his mother, things could get complicated, and messy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
