Charles/Erik, rape aftermath

[anonymous]

Someone manages to subdue Charles (with drugs or some other way) and sexually assault him. Charles returns home but doesn't tell anyone what happened, because he's too ashamed that he couldn't prevent it despite his telepathy. He's clearly not okay though - he's irritable, jumpy, depressed, very unlike his usual calm self. Erik eventually finds out what happened and hunts down the rapist(s) and tears them to shreds. Whether they're having an established relationship or before that, or during or after the movie is up to anon.

I.
The compound is quiet and Charles thanks every deity in he can think of for that. He can't handle Raven right now, or the other kids. He certainly does not have the energy to deal with Erik.

Yanking his jacket tighter around himself, he tries not to vomit as his stomach roils and his mind replays the events of the night over and over and over. It's a horrendous movie, a nightmare, in jumbled images; he glances at a clock as he moves toward his room and wonders if maybe it was a nightmare.

He knows it wasn't.

Charles enters his room, making sure to close the door softly, then enters the ensuite and dry heaves until bile comes up. Stomach acid burns his throat and hangs off his lips and he knows he must look quite pathetic, only he can't bring himself to care - there's so much at stake, he can't let himself be weak.

Reaching out blinding, Charles snags a hand towel and drags it down to wipe his mouth, muttering, "Bugger," under his breath.

II.He tries to bury the memories. Hide them, repress them, ignore them

Filled: Catch You 2/2

[anonymous]

They are now treading dangerous ground.

For several more moments, Charles wavers, seeming to steel himself.

When Erik can no longer take it, he speaks. "Show me, my friend," he whispers.

Charles hesitates.

"Show me," Erik pushes.

The memories are as follows:

The bar is filled to capacity, wall to wall with men. All shapes, sizes, colors. There's already the scent of sex and booze in the air

excellent work. exceptional writing, just enough detail, and the rage is perfect ("what the lesser evolved do" and "but you hurt Charles", versus "he says his last two words to the brick" - holy cow, amazing punch.) And Charles Charles Charles, his characterization is great, how he becomes snappish and he thinks of statistics and by the way, this never feels schmoopy or anything, it's not melodramatic. I like it very much. Thank you for sharing!
