When Erik receives a small bit of affection and gets overwhelmed so he leaves for ten years:

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

Well, he does have an open door policy.

Come right in, he’s waiting. With two glasses set up.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

Wine mom is here, hello.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

DID SOMEONE SAY WEDDING?

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

Absolutely, Lukas.
He should know how to still program it, go for it.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

This is only what Charles has noticed, he could be wrong but—
From what he’s seen, Lukas has allowed himself to love and be loved, which has grounded him and made him feel stable?

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

On the contrary.
Maybe it’s bettered him?

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

// Ill respond to longer SL’s later today!

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

Someone is clearly happy?

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

// “Charles, you dumb bitch.” I’m wheezing.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

When was the last time they even had a conversation?
“I’m only trying to comprehend it.

I’ve had too many, don’t listen to me.”
He feels like he failed all of them, and doesn’t understand why they would even come back to the manor.

[— 𝐋𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫 @Mxgnxto]

Oh boy. They’re about to have a conversation.

“Yes, you do. You gave those children a home when no one else would. You gave them a family when they had no one else. This isn’t a reward for good behavior, Charles. This is a second chance to be better.. don’t take it for granted.”

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

“I am, don’t mistake it and think that I’m not. I just— don’t quite think that I, of all people, deserve. . to have them back.”

He still feels guilty, about everything. About losing every single one of them. Alex, Sean, Darwin. Hell, even Angel.

[— 𝐋𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫 @Mxgnxto]

“Way to ease into the conversation.” Erik muttered, walking closer and taking a seat.

He too has been drinking, but mostly with said lads and he’s now as tipsy anymore. “I don’t see why you’re bringing it up, we ought to be glad they are.”

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

“Ah— Erik.”
He has a glass halfway empty of whiskey, clearly he’s been stressed and drinking.

“I need to talk to you... ‘bout the lads.”
He pauses, then speaks up again.
“They’re all suppose to be dead.”
Tipsy Charles is a very blunt Charles.

[— 𝐋𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫 @Mxgnxto]

He was just about to lay on the couch and watch terrible tv.

But he’s here less than ten minutes after being called, knocking on the door before letting himself in.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

He’s too tired to go out to look for @Mxgnxto, so he sends him a message telepathically to meet him in the study.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

// Imagine if Charles asks them to suit up for a mission.

Like. The First Class team back together. Fuck.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

“I almost don’t have to be with how loud you are in your head—“

Hums and inhales a breath himself.

“As far as I knew, you didn’t care much about these children. Has Darwin’s return triggered a memory?”

[— 𝐋𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫 @Mxgnxto]

“Out of my head.”

Deep breath. Deep sigh.

“I’m. Fine.”

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

DARWIN.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

“You do know your thoughts are extremely loud, do you not?”

Lips pursed together as he watches the other.

[— 𝐋𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫 @Mxgnxto]

“Hmmmmmm-“
This is fine. Everything is fine. He’s f i n e.

“I’m not going to scream-“ oh the lies he tells himself.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

“Erik, breathe.
I don’t have time to clean up the mess in the manor due to your yelling.”

[— 𝐋𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫 @Mxgnxto]

“......”

👌🏼 this close to scream town.

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 @OnlyToHope]

S h a k y deep breath.

“One more.”

[— 𝐋𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫 @Mxgnxto]

Deep breath.
