    Summary

    Charles and Erik broke up three months ago, and now they’re both trying to move on. It would be easier if Erik would actually move to Genosha and if Charles stopped trying to help, but neither of them is any better at letting go than they are at compromise.

    Besides, Erik suspects he doesn’t know everything about their break up, and the only way to find out is by getting Charles to open up.

     

    Are you ever willing to admit you need help?" Erik furrowed his brow, mouth pressed into a thin line as he stared at Charles. He sensed concern rising up beneath his fondness, barely concerned and heady, as though it had been there from the start. He stiffened and straightened up his spine, meeting Erik's gaze with a pointed one of his own.

    Charles might allow Erik to coddle him in bed, to treat him like some kind precious gift, but not outside of it. Charles Xavier spent his entire childhood making himself exceedingly competent, exceptional, and he could not bear for Erik of all people to see him as anything less.

    Summary

    He glares playfully at his siblings, who are all giggling now, pointing fingers at them all.

    “Lemme tell you right now. A man walks in here offering me that and a cheque for any school I want and it’s over for you people. I’m gone. You can fend for yourselves.”

    “Yeah right,” Austin snorts, disbelieving. He reaches over and pinches Will’s thigh, cackling when he squawks. “We can’t even get you to leave the infirmary at the end of your shift. You’re stuck here forever, Rapunzel.”

    “Just you wait! My prince will come!”

    “As if he even wants a prince,” he hears Kayla whispering to a giggling Gracie, who responds with a cheeky, “Not when he’s got a king!”

    Nico doesn’t know who they’re talking about, but the fact that there’s someone — his vision goes green. He has to tamp down a genuine snarl which is — ridiculous. And out of nowhere.

    He cuts another glance to Will, who is still muttering petulantly. Every few minutes, he hears something about an “open floor plan” and “high pressure showers”.

    He gets a very, very stupid idea.
    ---
    OR: When it comes to Will, Nico will always bend over backwards. Anything for that radiant, breathtaking smile.

    Summary

    They were quiet for a long moment, simply watching each other.

    “Keith,” his voice was quiet and ragged, “I love you so much, but you have to understand, this is tearing me apart.

    “You can’t trust me, and I can’t trust you,” he smiled a sad smile. “We just don’t work.”

    Keith’s heart throbbed painfully as Lance delicately placed the engagement ring in his palm, curling Keith’s fingers around the precious gift. He leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss to Keith’s stubbly cheek.

    “I’m sorry this didn’t work. Goodbye, Keith.”

    Lance walked out the door, and Keith let him.

    ~~~~~~~~~

    Keith has a secret. A secret that’s he’s kept from his partner far too long to be socially acceptable. He’s the Red Paladin, and it’s tearing his relationship apart.
