1. Armando entertains Alex after lights-out by telling stories about his three younger siblings. Alex laughs and enjoys and engages, but Armando can tell he's holding back. The night that Sean joins them, Raven nicks a couple six packs and, three beers into the night, Alex quietly admits his brother was taken away from him five years ago. He was eight and Alex was barely 13 and coming into his powers and it was better for both of them, but that doesn't stop Alex from feeling like a fuck-up

whoops! far too long to fit in one comment, apparently!pocky_slashDecember 27 2011, 17:43:13 UTC
I don't know that I can fit all my feelings about Charles and Erik into one comment. I don't know that I can limit it to three things, even! But we'll try XD

And yet, he wants to let Charles in. He wants the things that Charles is offering him. He wants the luxury of sharing his burden. He wants the option of relaxing for the first time in years, of letting someone else take care of him.
Because that's what Charles wants--it pours from him whenever they're together, an unconscious projection aimed steadily at Erik. Charles wants to soothe the hurt, to hide him away from the world, to make it betterErik needs to leave. He needs to leave immediately before Charles distracts him further, before he gives into his longing. Tonight, he'll take the file on Schmidt and flee and do what needs to be done, before he can let Charles stop him, before he can show Charles how ruined he really is, before Charles figures out that nothing can make it better
( ... )
And that, apparently, is what they needed--a success, a celebration. Because Charles doesn't hesitate, once they're back in the room, in cupping Erik's face and kissing him joyously and Erik doesn't hesitate in sliding his hands down to Charles' hips and pulling him close.
It's the first kiss, but it feels like the thousandth, the millionth, and Charles still doesn't want to stop, doesn't see the need to when he can project his delight, his joy, straight into Erik's mind and when Erik can do the same.
"We're going to change the world," he breathes when they do finally--reluctantly--break.
"We are," Erik agrees, and for the first time since they met, the steady fire of revenge is entirely absent from his focus and it stays that way all night.
