[ Erik was really just hoping for getting back together. Like start over, go on a date, fall into bed, walk the High Line and kiss under the (non-existent, let's be real, it's NYC) starlight.
Charles knows all about him, knows all his flaws and his mistakes and has had his heart and spine broken by him before. But he's still offering to marry him, dive headfirst without looking back. But Charles has never done things in halves and neither has Erik, electing instead to deal with consequences after the fact.
So he lets his lips curl, presses his wire-thin grin to Charles's mouth, and gathers him up in his arms. ]
Only if you're the one who lets SHIELD know we're going to go a little over our budget.
[ Just like that, they're both in their early thirties again, young and carefree and happy. ]
