Canon: X-Men: First Class
Characters/Pairing: Charles Xavier/Erik Lensherr
Prompt: Done
Rating: PG for references to an in canon death
Notes: Set on the beach as Erik puts the helmet on and makes his choice.
When Erik put on Shaw’s helmet, Charles knew whatever they might have had was over. The silence was a hole inside his mind reminding him that Erik didn’t want him and as he watched the coin approaching Shaw, everything that might have been was gone.
He shouted in every way he knew how in the hope that somehow Erik wouldn’t fully close his mind, not forever. They hadn’t had enough time to find their way together. They balanced each other.
There would be no peace when Erik chose violence only pain that spread out to touch all mutants saying choose.
x-men,
