Their physical closeness doesn't bother me here unlike before, probably because this time there doesn't seem to be an emotional distance growing between them. So that's good, I guess. Although I'm still kinda worried Charles will freak out again and start pushing Erik away once more any second now.

.....I was so excited because I read one part wrong and thought that Erik had heard Charles thinking about how Erik will have a family and Charles won't be in the way or whatever. But he didn't. And Nina is on a trip with Shaw. And I'm not confident she'll come back. At least on one of the vacations. And Charles is probably going to push away again. Or something else. And Erik doesn't get it, he takes it as rejection.

Everything is wonderful and everything is terrible. How did you do that to me?

"...drowning in Erik’s love seems to be an all too possible future for them both..."

I'm almost expecting Charles to just, like, leave...

Also everytime I read Shaw's name I tense up. I mean I just cannot tell what kind of trouble he's gonna stir up but I know it's coming! Why does he care so much about Erik, what's gonna happen to Nina, why was he such an A-HOLE to Charles? I JUST DON'T KNOW! It's intense.

CANNOT WAIT for more. I love you.

Whenever I see a new chapter posted, the thought that springs to mind is, "it's more of that heart-breaking story!" And while it does squeeze the ol' heart painfully, it is also full of warmth. Loved the fact that Erik now has more friends, and also that he and Charles are growing closer and exploring their powers gradually... It's so awful that Charles has been so scarred by his mother that he sees his love for Erik as a cause for dread. Oh, Charles...

Erik’s footsteps slow as he concentrates to feel outward, searching through all the metal inside the school for the small and unique necklace that’s always around Charles’s neck.

Charles can feel his necklace heating up against his chest while worriedly watching the door; it tugs a bit letting him know that Erik found him.

“Lost again, Erik?” Charles voice is filled with amusement.

Erik turns quickly in the opposite direction, feeling the pull of silver, and runs before the bell rings. He arrives just in time and sees Charles smile shyly towards him while casually removing his bag from the chair next to him; all the other seats are filled.

I just loved this bit. ♥ This whole story is amazing. I cannot wait for more. Poor Charles, let ERIK LOVE YOU!! :D
