Charles/Erik, angry makeouts anonymous June 19 2011, 20:32:46 UTC
I want to read about all of the times Charles goes to see Erik in prison. Or the times they run into each at like, mutant cons or whatever it is they do. And they make eyes at each other and have awkward discussions where they dance around the fact that they love each other.

And maybe there are angry makeouts too.

So this deviated a bit from the prompt, particularly in that it's more angry than awkward, but I think (I hope) it still fills it properly
***

The notion of anger came to Charles in subtle and leveling details. He had to buy a new chessboard when he realized that the curves of the wooden pawns set his teeth on edge. Replacing it didn’t help as much as he thought it would. There was a moment when he was showing a pair of new students to their rooms that he realized that only half the beds in his home were wooden. To his own dismay Charles found himself angered by metal bed frames, because they were far too reminiscent of a personal kind of violence which had nothing to do with the bullet pulled from his spine. He had spent the remainder of the day locked in the library, under the pretense of research, until the scotch bottle was dry and he’d determined there were actually threeways he could beat himself at chess ( ... )

“No, Erik. Because you look foolish.” The timing is all wrong, too acerbic and not nearly cavalier enough. But he hasn’t backed down before and he won’t back down now, even if Magneto is eyeing him with a predator’s gaze. “Besides, you and I are beyond all this. Frankly, it’s insulting.” Charles feels the metal in the chair, what little there is, thrum in time with Erik’s grinding teeth. “Do it.” His voice is level and calm and Erik ought to recognize the suppression of an argument from the hard line of Charles’ mouth ( ... )

Erik surges forward, mouths crushed together, hot and open and slick. Charles licks into his mouth, tongue drawn up against the roof in small stripes. It is pressure and heat and teeth pressed into his lower lip sharp. Perfect. His mind is a wash of rage and desire, railing at the unfairness, the inevitability of this disaster, and why it couldn’t have come sooner. Tongue behind teeth, run across lips. A flush is spreading across his face, down his neck and chest, and Erik is chasing it with greedy fingers. Charles presses words against his mouth between the swipe of tongues ( ... )

*So it is all the usual anger with the added pain of knowing that Erik also wanted and still walked away;

This is incredible and desperate and heart-wrenching in all the best ways.
