This is the Art Master Post for the Xmen Big Bang story "Well Kept Boy" by tzi and zaganthi.
"We're supposed to try to impress you." You in a general sense. The boy was peering at him, and Charles could feel him trying to work out what, exactly, Charles was doing kneeling down to eye level with him.
He didn't seem inclined to impress, and that made Charles quite like him. The feel of his thoughts were interesting as well, as he steadily tried to figure out just what was wanted from him. "I have to admit that I'm quite impressed with you. There's something to be said for being unique."
When he didn't answer the nurse, she lingered for a moment, wanting to be helpful, feeling useless, except Charles had no care for whether his silence was hurting her feelings or not. He was awake, he was alive... And as he slowly worked through the muscle groups of his body, he felt where they faltered and failed, didn't respond, had no feeling.
Dear God.
Dear God.
"Chuck. You got shorter. Kind of used to looking you in the eye." And Charles was kind of unaccustomed to looking everyone in the crotch. Gibbs was smiling, though, and he was glad that Charles was still alive. As far as Gibbs was concerned, alive was the important part. All the rest could be fixed.
"Yes. Well. That's both of us, then."
The idea of that worried him. It scared him and it made him angry. /I don't want to go./
/I know./
I wish I could've done more...But school gotten in the way...Oh well. C: Thanks for viewing.
