"I still have your back, Erik. I always have, I always will." Furrowing his brow, the telepath cleared his throat. x.com/LonelyTraitor/…

"Because you've simply lost your way, not yourself. Please, Erik. I've told you before, there /is/ good in you." x.com/LonelyTraitor/…

"/Erik/." Charles pleaded quietly, his gaze fixed upon troubled features. "I've seen it before. I have." x.com/LonelyTraitor/…

"I'm just asking you to trust me, my friend. We can figure it out together." Charles offered a small smile. x.com/LonelyTraitor/…

Feeling his eyes stinging, Charles' features warmed and held his hand out for his friend to take. x.com/LonelyTraitor/…

@MForMagneto [[But you /are/ a good ma--]] Charles was tempted to continue, but the way Erik's thoughts came though told him not to. It-

@MForMagneto -would just be bad for the mood of the night. So, the telepath continued to project, lovingly so and closed his eyes. [[Is-

@MForMagneto -it wrong that I'd like you to sleep here?]] Change of topic, but the topic they were tapping was something serious and-

@MForMagneto -sensitive, especially because that sort of action would get them labeled and possibly killed due to the people around them,-

@MForMagneto -But Charles found himself wanting to /hold/ Erik and it complicated his thoughts. Another thing his step-father fought him-

@MForMagneto -over. But Charles wouldn't say now. [[I'd like to keep you safe for a night...]]

"On a beach... Not in Cuba..."

"His face says it all."

I have so much hope for you... x.com/LonelyTraitor/…

@MForMagneto [[Soon, we will have the others with us, Erik. I promise. We'll be able to bring them far away. It's terribly selfish of me-

@MForMagneto -to say, but I just want to make sure you're okay at the moment. We can strengthen your powers and together, we'll bring them-

@MForMagneto -and you freedom. I have faith in us. But to have you here, warm and tucked away with me...]] It was perceived wrong in-

@MForMagneto -the eyes of society, an abomination. But Charles was an outcast, and Erik felt that discrimination and hate more than the-

@MForMagneto -telepath. It couldn't be wrong to just want to hold him for one night.
