Charles Xavier/Erik Lehnsherr - "I'm Flirting With You"
“I’m flirting with you.”
For a telepath, Charles could be very ignorant.
Charles blushed. “Oh.”
Erik scowled. “Apparently not obvious enough.”
Charles’ flush deepened. “No, I… your flirting is great. Wonderful. I just…”
Erik waited.
“Wasn’t..” Charles continued. “…Expecting you to…”
“Be gay?”
“Want me.”
Erik gave him a surprised look. “Who were you expecting me to want?”
Charles frowned to himself. “I figured you were…more attracted to physical manifestations of the x-gene.”
Erik raised an eyebrow and was silent.
“Not that I think you’d be that shallow,” Charles said quickly. “Obviously, since you’re attracted to me.. Not that I’m vain,” he added. “I…” he closed his eyes and rubbed his temple.
Erik gave a soft laugh. “Shall I give you a moment to get yourself together?”
Charles opened his eyes and glared at him. “You could kiss me.”
Erik was shocked into another silence. “If you want,” he finally said in a cautious tone.
Charles hummed. “I do think I want.” He stepped forward. “Do you want?”
Erik looked him over, silently evaluating him. “I do.”
“Excellent.” Charles reached up and kissed him.
