XMFC/Kiss and Control

[guideshapelead]

The next morning, Charles is awake far earlier than he normally would be, for once not having to be woken up by Erik's insistence. He's quiet and distant throughout breakfast, and with no classes first thing he quickly withdraws himself to his study.

It doesn't matter what Erik or anyone else says, he's still in turmoil over what he had almost done to Emma. He no longer trusts his own control. His powers have never truly scared him before now.

Erik steps back and stays there.

He can't touch that book. Charles said so.

//NOW BRING DOWN YOUR WALLS. COME BACK TO ME.// Charles continues at that same level of power, hoping that this time Erik will remember himself without drama.

[diecastking]

Erik hesitates - but Charles wants it.

He drops his protections and wanders obediently back to Charles' side.

//Come back to yourself, Erik// Charles wills, trying not to panic again. His walls are down, it should be easy to break the control.

[diecastking]

Erik blinks a few times, his mind reverting at the gentle release of Charles' control.

He looks down at his hands: no book.

Erik grins at Charles.

Relief rushes through Charles as Erik looks at him freely again, grinning without being told to do so.

"It worked."

[diecastking]

Erik kisses Charles, still smiling.

"I knew you could do it."

Charles smiles against Erik's lips, arms looping around his neck.

//Are we done for tonight, now?//

[diecastking]

//I can think of other ways to spend our time// Erik says with a smile against his lips and lifts Charles into his arms.

//Do tell// Charles encourages as Erik lifts him, holding tighter around his fiancé's neck.
