Who else would I tell? [ It’s not as though Erik has an abundance of friends or anything close to it. He has Charles, and that is enough. More than enough, if he’s being honest. He doesn’t need or want more.
The drama, though… ] Charles. I slept with people before I met you. That doesn’t mean I am currently sleeping with anyone. I have no interest in anything or anyone outside the house.
Well, I'm sorry for assuming things. I know we haven't been spending a lot of time together lately. ( he should stop avoiding the man already. it's getting a little ridiculous. ) I'll put my work aside and how about we play a game of chess sometime? Would you like that?
I’m not angry with you, Charles. I’m aware of how busy you are with everything you’re doing at the moment. [ It’s not as if Charles ever takes a moment for himself, takes a break, any of it. Maybe he should intervene more. ] I’d like to. Whenever you’re free.
You know, Erik, you're welcomed to come by my office whenever you want. I do have a couch there for a reason. ( he wouldn't mind erik making use of the space for reading, napping, whatever it is he wants. and he'd love the company. ) This house is your home now and I want you to feel comfortable in it.
I’ll try and make a habit of it. I’ve been told taking a break from training can be beneficial. [ The reality is he hadn’t trusted himself to be so close around Charles, to be so vulnerable. Maybe he’d consider it now. ] I feel comfortable with you, my friend.
Do you now? ( that's something he doesn't hear very often, especially from those who are aware of what he can do. ) I'm glad to hear it. Most people wouldn't feel that way around a telepath.
