(no subject)
OK, so I've been looking at some of the prompts over at 1stclass_kink, and was inspired to write a few responses. So here's my first completed one.

"Honey, that's a lot of teeth you're showing."
Erik immediately pressed his lips together. Raven exhaled. Hank shifted nervously. Alex and Sean were in the corner sniggering, just like they had been since this whole debacle had started.
"For God's sake, Erik, please smile less like you're going to eat us."
"What's going on?" Charles came into the room, genetics book in hand. Raven swiped it as he approached her, and chucked it to Sean, who immediately threw it out the window behind him.
"Sean!" Charles looked horrified.
"What? It was instinct!"
"We've been trying to get Erik to look more human," Raven cut in, grabbing Charles' arm to prevent him from leaving. "And I know for a fact that you own two copies of that book." Now Alex looked horrified.
Charles sighed. "It's the principle of the thing, Raven." Behind him Alex was mouthing 'TWO? What for?' to Sean, who looked much the same. "Now what's this I hear about you bullying poor Erik."
"I'm quite able to take care of myself," Erik inserted dryly, over Raven's protests. "We were just trying out the new camera..."
Charles looked at it. The he reached out and depressed a button on top. The resulting flash made everyone blink dazedly.
"Oh dear, I do hope I haven't broken it."
"No, not at all," Hank was starting to get into his professor mode. He adjusted his glasses. "The camera created a flash of light because it automatically sensed that the picture would be too dark. By flashing the light, it made the surrounding environments much easier to pick up on the device-"
"Whatever, bozo." Alex snatched it out of Hank's cradling hands. He spun it around. "Smile!"
He pressed the button again, and Hank closed his eyes against the glare. Alex took this time to signal to Sean, and they ran out of the room with their prize in tow. Hank gave a growl and gave chase.
Charles, Erik and Raven were left blinking in astonishment. "You'd better go after them," Charles told Raven. He brought up a hand to his temple. "Before they break something. And I think Sean got lost on the fourth floor again."
Raven sighed. "I keep telling him to go LEFT. How hard can it be to follow directions?"
"With this lot, very." Erik grinned at Charles. Raven rolled her eyes.
"And there you go again, shark-boy." She left the room as Erik shut his mouth. Charles looked puzzled.
"My friend, why the nickname?" Erik groaned aloud.
"Raven thinks that I look like a shark when I smile. She's been trying to correct me for the last hour, and the others weren't helping at all." He wasn't whining really, he wasn't.
Charles stared at him full in the face. "Do it again." Erik raised an eyebrow in disbelief, but pasted on a quick grin for him. Charles studied his expression.
"Hmm... I think it suits you, my friend." He headed for the door. "Now, perhaps we should get to hunting the others. With your help it should go swimmingly." He beamed broadly at Erik.
Erik covered his face briefly with his hand. "That... was almost horrific." But he went along.

Very fluffy.
