Charles/Erik, Charles eats when he's stressed anonymous August 5 2011, 06:21:36 UTC
Everyone deals with their stress differently. Maybe Hank tinkers in the lab, maybe Raven works out, maybe Erik broods.

Charles eats.

I don't care when or how Erik discovers this or why Charles is stressed, but I'd like to see Charles working through the pantry and fridge, eating stuff that might have expired in the middle ages, in combinations that no one else would dare touch with a fifty foot pole.

Bonus: if Charles is super embarrassed by his habit and eats in the dark by himself like a guilty little mouse
Bonus2: if Charles jogs like a madman the morning after to keep his weight down

Erik wakes up alone in the middle of the night, which means that Charles is either sitting in the study or wandering the mansion in a sleepless haze. He pulls himself out of bed and when he gets to the kitchen, he finds the strangest thing ( ... )

LOL, oh man, this is great.

Erik is so amused and Charles' food combination so terrible. Just "there is a half-eaten pickle in his hand," cracked me up so hard. And the end ♥

Thanks so much for the fill!

Great fill.

I'm particularly interested to see if you go with the exercises like mad the next day, because, did you know that would actually be considered bulimia?
Any cycle of out of control eating followed by making up for it is, even if the person doesn't vomit.

thank you! i don't have any particular desire to go into the alternate extreme of this... i'm sure chasing erik around the military retreat the next day was enough of a work out~ ♥

Lol, this reminds me of the weird stuff I'm sometimes eating (cheese, pepperoni and chocolate milk, anyone?)...

"Do you want to try some?"

I can HEAR Charles saying this in my head, it's perfectly him to ask this ♥

A+

I was thinking of giving this an angsty fill, if anyone would be interested in a second fill?

Charles starts off slowly, as though in an attempt to fool himself that he isn't doing it again. Sitting alone in the darkened kitchen, he lays out first two slices of bread, then four, spreading them thickly with peanut butter, cutting them diagonally into four triangular sandwiches. He takes a slow first bite, chewing steadily and having to work to swallow, a lump rising in his throat. His pace quickens, tearing off more of the bread and gnashing his teeth almost urgently. The peanut butter glues itself to the roof of his mouth and makes it harder to eat. He reaches for the glass bottle of milk on the counter and drinks straight from it, clearing his mouth and throat, some of the liquid dribbling from between his tight lips. He swallows with a gasp and attacks the sandwich again. With the last bite a feeling of guilt begins to rise, but he quashes it, reaching for the bag of potato chips. He rips it open with a crackle of foil, dipping his hand into the salty, crisp chips and bringing up slightly more than a mouthful. The bag ( ... )

It's the easiest way to keep Erik out of the meme!

Loved the hint of Charles' issues with food, and how Raven was partially the trigger. I suppose hearing people's honest thoughts would cause self esteem issues...

Poor Charles.
