Summary
Charles stills. ‘What’s wrong?’ he asks, taking a step back and dropping his hands from Erik’s face.
Erik looks hesitant, brows furrowed and his flat lips pressed further into a thin line.
Erik is the most confident man Charles knows, be it in movement or thought. He’s straightforward and presses on without a sliver of doubt in his mind. This image of Erik, however, is unfitting — uncertain and unsure.
‘I’m not used to this,’ Erik says, staring at the thick oak door to his left as if contemplating flight.
This? Had Charles misread the situation? Had Erik not been interested in him during all those days spent together travelling across the country and finding mutants? He wouldn’t have pulled Erik into an empty room in the middle of training like a love-struck teenager otherwise.
