Charles.

[mind_over_metal]

[ bites his lip and stares straight ahead into Erik's... chin-ish area ]

[godwinner]

You said you're not trying to fool anyone.

[mind_over_metal]

I'm not.

[godwinner]

So stop.

[mind_over_metal]

*blinks a little bemusedly before exhaling a short laugh and relaxing again into Erik's hold*

Silly...

[godwinner]

No, it's not.

[mind_over_metal]

*goes quiet and, aside from the movement of the dance, still*




It's sometimes easier when it is, you know.

[godwinner]

[ ...pulling him a little closer, cheek brushing Charles's hair ]

I wouldn't know.

[mind_over_metal]

*closes his eyes and leans against him, just slightly*

[godwinner]

[ not feeling the need to say anything else at the moment ]

[mind_over_metal]

*it's a long and longing silence*









Thank you.

[godwinner]

[ pressing his mouth near Charles's temple, speaking into his hair ]

What is it for this time?

[mind_over_metal]

Going along with all this.

[godwinner]

You know I don't do anything I don't want to.

[ but it's fairly good-humoured; he knows what Charles meant. ]

[mind_over_metal]

*smiling into Erik's chest*

I've been known to be very persuasive.

[godwinner]

Mm.

[mind_over_metal]

*turns and tilts his head so that he can brush his lips against Erik's, a gesture of affection*

[godwinner]

[ steals another, deeper kiss before pressing their foreheads together ]

[mind_over_metal]

[ his left hand moves from Erik's shoulder to cup the side of his face. ]

[godwinner]

[ he's had a chance to get more accustomed to the cognitive dissonance, so now he slides his arm more firmly around Charles's back and takes them for a quicker turn across the floor. fancy footwork~ ]

[mind_over_metal]

[ his hand goes back to Erik's shoulder for a better grip and he laughs a little, following easily ]

[godwinner]

[ maybe watching his face as they do that, not laughing himself but his own expression clearly one of enjoyment ]

[mind_over_metal]

[ something that's missing is the sensation of Charles in Erik's mind as something separate from his physical presence, what with the two currently functioning as one. his smile is, perhaps, a bit more all-encompassing than usual. ]

[godwinner]

[ slows them down again just as abruptly, though his grip on Charles doesn't change ]
