Summary
Erik’s fingers traced Charles’s jaw, an unfamiliar texture catching him by surprise—rough, coarse, a new weight in the space between them. He lingered there, the unexpected rasp of the beard under his fingertips sending shivers up his arms, the texture so unlike the smoothness he remembered. This, the hardness, the new edge to Charles, it jarred him, electrified him. He was feeling someone both foreign and achingly familiar. Erik pressed his palm to it, feeling the heat beneath, a strange tenderness rising in him as their mouths met, both soft and sharp, both old and new, as if history was melting in that touch.
───────────────────────────
Set during the turbulent plane ride to Paris in Days of Future Past, Erik and Charles can’t decide if they want to strangle each other, forgive each other, or just kiss and let it all burn. Bitterness runs deep, but so does everything else between them.
