Jun. 21st, 2011 09:13 pm"All The Fears You Left Behind" by londondrowning | Charles/Erik | Erik has had one goal. He’s spent his life in relentless pursuit of it and has given almost no thought to what would come after he achieves it. | ~2.300 words
Holy. Cow! Seriously. This Erik is so scary with his possessive protectiveness of Charles and the thing is, I can actually believe it, that he would feel that way. Yikes. Amazing. Simply amazing.
He angles the gun beneath his chin and suddenly there is nothing funny here, nothing at all.
“Stop that,” Erik growls, laughter utterly gone. “Stop that immediately, Charles.”
“It’s the same principle, really,” Charles says serenely. “I trust you.”
And he does. It is nothing he’s projecting into Erik’s thoughts. It’s in the way his grip on the pistol has relaxed, it’s shining out of his eyes, it’s in the line of his shoulders beneath that coat.
It is blind, perfect trust and the wave of fury that crashes through Erik is all consuming.
