no worries! :D

Charles hadn't exactly expected that a one night stand and a misfired text would be the thing to finally enable him to see Erik again, but he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. It's been some years since Cuba, though the memories are still fresh in his mind. He's gone from hating Erik to missing him desperately and back again more times than he can count, never quite able to make up his mind.

Mostly, he just wistfully thinks about the incredible things they could achieve together, if only they were on the same page. But since he also knows they're both incredibly stubborn, he's not sure that'll ever happen.

Now that he's in the mansion, Erik is closer than he's been in years. His mind is a beacon, bright and sharp and so vivid, and it takes every scrap of control that Charles has not to reach out and touch.

Moments after Erik speaks, the door opens. "Patience is a virtue, Erik," he greets airily, overly casual, wheeling himself in. "Sorry for being a touch late, my last class ran long when the students insisted on getting into one of Poe's more esoteric poems." His rooms suddenly feel so much smaller with Erik in it, the man's very presence larger than life. "I see you left the cape behind; my eyes thank you."
