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.

At mid-morning break, Erik seeks out Charles. He had been surprised to wake and find his lover gone, and hadn't wanted to confront his sullen silence at breakfast in front of the students.

However, he cannot let his lover wallow in self-pity.

//Liebe?// he thinks, from outside Charles' door.
