Erik/Charles: Erik is a virgin

[anonymous]

Because Erik was so young when he became the subject of terrible experiments, he had never had sex with anyone. His grief and rage and pain were so great after the war, and his obsession with finding his tormentor, that he didn't have sex with anyone. So, despite his apparent urbanity, he's actually a virgin when he and Charles meet. One other thing he's never done before either is fall in love

Outlier - 1a/?

When Charles Xavier entered his first year of university studies, he realized the truth of a theory that had been percolating in his head since he was fifteen. People, he decided, could be incredibly predictable.

It was not a matter of every person he noticed or observed reacting in the same manner to the same stimuli, but more a matter of the same stimuli being stimuli, like a nearly-universal set of tripwires for every man, woman, and child to trigger a spark against his cerebral cortex. More often than not, telepathy didn’t even enter into it - little tells of expression on a person’s face were not so little when one was used to detecting things far more subtle and private. Charles simply read people as voraciously as he devoured research articles and texts. Eventually, his studies crystallized into genetics, but Charles couldn’t turn off his social curiosity any more than he could turn off his mutant skill

As he matured in body, mind, and in academia, Charles found it hard to set aside his longest-running experiment. It worked in pick-up lines. It worked in interviews. It worked in his first teacher’s assistant position during grad studies. It even worked in restaurants or buying a newspaper. Though he would never officially put it to paper, it remained like a private hobby, and by the time he graduated from student to professor, it had become so ingrained in his perception of people around him that a career in education seemed inexorable.

It also would fill a void in his personal life that his experiment had begun to illustrate. When people were predictable, not even the ability to read minds could keep Charles from feeling… well, unbalanced, really. Unmatched. No, that wasn't it - it was hard to put into words when he never had to put it into words, and he shelved it in his mental library while other, more immediate and pressing things began to arise

OP here. And oh wow, this is fascinating. I can't wait to see what happens when they meet! I love this look into Charles's mind, and can feel his loneliness/isolation layered in with the scientific outlook.

Yay! I'll wait happily for more!
