Title: Points For Accuracy
Rating: As it is: PG As it was intended to be: R
Characters/Pairing: Charles/Erik.
Content Advisory: Fantasies
Prompt/Plotbunny/Summary: From [livejournal.com profile] stickmarionette's Twenty Facts About Charles Xavier: Sometimes they [the fantasies] were about him. When he was particularly bored, he'd grade them for realism.
Notes: I feel bad towards this story idea. It's a great one, and I rather failed it. I'll try to do better next time.




'Romance' Drabble One (Romance is the prompt)

Points For Accuracy

People have their daydreams, often of love and romance; when Charles sits in a public place filled with strangers or acquaintances, such as a classroom or a tram, sometimes one or more of them will build a fantasy around him. It's amusing to track the common patterns, the stereotypes and best of all inaccuracies, and he usually assigns a letter grade, ranging from B+ to F-, to how realistically they envision him.

Then comes the day after he and Erik met in the sea off Miami, when they sit either side of Raven in a government sedan's back seat. Charles leans his head against the window and carefully keeps his face still as he listens to Erik sizing them up. He examines the driver's hands for twice as many seconds as he spent evaluating the entire remainder, before dismissing the agent with hardly another thought. Charles himself can only remember the driver's named Coulson by dipping into his mind, so he supposes he can't really talk.

Erik looks Moira over next. dispassionately assigning her attractiveness less weight than the authority of her position, and then contemplates Raven, who appears to him creamy and fragile. Charles disguises biting his lip as a fidget and thus manages not to laugh; Erik hasn't yet seen her power nor her temper.

When Erik reaches him Charles expects the same sort of cursory contemplation; what he doesn't expect is how Erik's thoughts linger on what he considers Charles's mild look and vividly blue eyes, nor the heat that tinges Erik's evaluation of the wiry strength that dragged him from the ocean. Watching Erik wonder what he would be like in bed, Charles sees a remarkably accurate image of himself, flushed, grinning, and rosy red from hairline to groin, even his neck arched just so.

Blinking, Charles glances over into water-colored eyes, [and this needs a fitting wrap up. Currently 302 words.].


[Then on the drive up from Florida Erik sits on the other side of Raven, sizing them all up. He dismisses the agent driving with barely a thought -- Charles himself can only remember the man's name, Coulson, by dipping into his mind -- and views Moira with resentful respect, her pleasant appearance less important than her position. Raven looks so creamy and fragile -- Charles nearly laughs, Erik hasn't yet seen her power nor her temper -- and then Erik settles on Charles, his mild look and big eyes and the wiry strength that dragged him from the ocean. Erik wonders what Charles would be like in bed, and Charles gets a remarkably accurate image of himself grinning with head thrown back, flushed from hairline to groin, and blinks in shocked surprise.

I'd love to see that drabble, if you ever write it. A telepathic kid
would end up developing different ideas about sex than everybody else,
wouldn't he? *g*

Thank you!
