You guys should go over there first if you are in XMFC fandom. Link.

Okay, now you're back here: if you feel like writing something for me, please do, because I can hardly breathe for my cold.

#10 - Something nice

He usually wakes up with ice sticks as arms, his own skin making him shiver, and even a hot shower cannot chase it away. But there are times, when he wakes up curled in a heap of warmth and a bunch of limbs wrapped around him.

That's when he lazily lets his fingers slide over that soft, radiant skin under his hands. A soft grunt against his chest makes him chuckle. It's one of those rare mornings, when for a few precious moments it's just him and Charles wrapped into a cocoon of warm and slow and nothing is a rush.

The world comes into focus steadily, and soon it will have caught up with them, but for now he only slides his hand under his lover's thigh, and hoists it up some more over his hip, to have him closer.

Ooooh cuddling that's so sweet and sleepy and CUTE I cannot. Thank you!

#7 - throaty song

Trying to untangle himself from the heap of sheets can be awkward and he's happy that he's currently alone as he nearly flies of of bed, as his left foot gets stuck in the sheets. And still there is a warm, happy tune on his tongue, as he trots towards towards the bathroom.

As soon as he steps into the foggy room, it becomes apparent where the song comes from. It carries only subtly over the noise of the shower, but he can feel it vibrating against his skin, and it makes him hum as well. It doesn't happen too often that Erik is in a good enough mood in the morning to sing in the shower. A small smile spreads over his face as he pushes the curtain to the side and steps in behind the other man.

"Morning, you" he whispers and presses a kiss beneath Erik's shoulder.

Most adorable image EVER.

I vote for Erik singing The Cure. Or, when he feels more pop-rock, U2!

#5 - I'm not going to be your hero

"I'm not a good person, Charles," Erik says, his entire face the very image of resentment and ill humour. "I'm not going to become one just because you want me to be."

Charles sighs and rolls onto his side towards where Erik is sat on the edge of the bed, curling his body around Erik's. "But you'll go anyway, right?" he asks, reaching down so he can adjust his legs into a more comfortable position. "I'd go myself, but it takes me so long to get ready these days. I don't want us to be too late."

Erik sighs loudly, put-upon, but he stands up anyway and shrugs on his coat. "Fine. I'll take the brats to ballet class. But next week it's definitely Alex's turn, okay?"

Oh my god I'm so sorry I just fell down laughing. That was so unexpected. AND BRILLIANT!

[Side note, did you get the ask I sent you a few hours earlier?]

[tahariel]

I did! I just literally got in the door so I haven't replied yet, I came here to pay you back first :3

BRB trying to pick myself back up from the floor because that has just melted me into a happy puddle of happy sighs!

[afrocurl]

"Thanks," Charles says, and takes her keys off the dresser, slipping from the bedroom and then through the living room and downstairs to the street. It's cold on the sidewalk, colder than it was when Charles walked to Moira's apartment from the T. He hates the unpredictability of New England weather, and shivers as he fumbles for a lighter. He doesn't smoke frequently, just when he's been drinking or when he's particularly stressed. Unfortunately, that means that when he smokes on a whim, he's frequently unprepared. He pats down his pockets for a third time and sighs around the cigarette still hanging from between his lips. He straightens up and turns to run back upstairs for a book of matches when a hand on his shoulder stops him. He turns and his lips curl into a smile when he sees Erik standing before him, holding a lighter

Ridiculous and lovely and I'd love to see how this goes on, like what happens in a week or two :)
