✅She's Human or Weapon

We Can Live Normally

10 years ago
Rolling over in the bed I searched Charles's side of the bed only to find it empty instead of feeling Charles laying sound asleep like he normally would. Running a hand through my hair I hear the bedroom door open but I must be dreaming at what I see before me. Thr wooden floor doesn't creak as loud as it would with the wheelchair. Sitting up with my head against the headboard my mouth hangs opened in shock. He leans in the doorway clearly trying not to stumble to the ground but that's not what makes me think I'm going crazy. It's the fact that Charles's is walking - actually walking instead of being stuck in his wheelchair. The doctors told him that he would never walk again since the bullet hit his spine. "Good morning, love. Did you sleep well?" He asked without any mention of the current situation. Rubbing my eyes a couple times I still don't register that this isn't a dream until he walks over and sits down at the foot of the bed just flashing a pure grin.

"Charles I - hi - how did you - are we just gonna act like this isn't crazy." I throw my hands out in front of me still struggling to understand how this is actually happening. He reaches for my hand intertwining it with mine kissing my palm. This would be the time of the morning routine where he would say sweet nothings in my mind. Giving me kisses until Hank came in with his wheelchair, but none of that has happened yet which is freaking me out. "Aurora, are you alright?" He asked vocally while I think in my head instead not understanding why he doesn't use his power. "No I'm not alright. I don't understand how you're walking!" He just blanky stares at me where I snapped my fingers realizing the truth. "You don't have your powers anymore do you?" He shakes his head squeezing my hand still intertwined with mine. "Hank made a serum, that allows me to walk..." Raising a hand over my mouth I moved it to rest against his cheek watching him lean in, weakness in his once bright blue eyes. The hope that was once there now gone because most of the parents left taking their kids. The school was opened but things happened where we couldn't help kids as easily as we thought. It broke who Charles used to be, where he struggled to sleep through the night.

He gets up crawling on his knees cupping my face in his hands recreating the grin he was sporting when he greeted me. My eyes locked onto his and I played with the collar of his shirt feeling my heart beating faster in excitement and awe. If he was telling the truth then Raven's blood in the serum works. Or at least it would have if Charles could still walk normally. "Aurora, lisen to me. We can have everything we talked about, marriage, kids, all of it right now. I just have to keep doing the doses everyday and it will be like that bullet never hit me. I can be the man that you deserve...that you could love." He blurted out catching his breath afterwards waiting for my response. Reaching up I brush his hair back that he had started letting grow out, resting my forehead against his I whispered. "Charles, this - you can't be yourself without your powers..." He throws his head back giving me puppy dog eyes begging with planting kisses on my face. "Rora, if you're nervous about the pain I'll be as gentle as I can. I won't ever hurt you, I promise." He's referring to when I told him last year that I hadn't ever slept with anyone. He knew my nerves but I think I'm falling in love with him and I wouldn't want it to be anymore else but him to be my first.

"Charles baby, I'm happy that you can walk again - but you sacrificed - are you absolutely sure you'd want a child with someone like me?" I trailed off until he crashed his lips onto mine cradling my face in his hands gently. Without really thinking I wrapped my arms around his neck kissing back. He breaks the kiss where we're both panting heavily. "I'd be an idiot if I said you weren't the one for me. The woman that has a dark past but cares about helping people just as much as I did. Someone who chose to stay by my side when I lost my legs. Aurora Deerfield, I love you. I'll wait until we're married - I'll get down on one knee and propose with your mother's necklace if you so wish. I don't care what I have to do to show you but know that I love you." I don't give him a second to say anything more instead pulling him closer by the collar of his shirt where I rolled us over so I'm ontop never breaking the kiss. "Charles Xavier, I love you too. I - I would say let's wait until marriage but - I don't want to wait any longer. Shaw's dead so I don't have anymore fears. So I want you to be my first, because I love you." He rests his hands on my hips suddenly flipping us over so I'm on my back once again causing me to gasp when he slowly kissed me more passionate than we ever had before.

Clutching the fabric of his shirt in my hands I enjoyed the kiss so much that I almost didn't want to break for air but sadly we're still human beings. Breaking it he ran his fingers through his hair sitting up a on the side of the bed. Waving my hand I quickly shut the door still laying in the bed and locking it so Hank doesn't walk in. Because that would be an awkward conversation we would never hear the end of considering we're the only three people that live in this huge house anymore. Finally catching my breath I touched his arm making him look down at me. "Charles, I want you." He smiled leaning down kissing me slowly moving his left hand under my shirt and the other running into my hair. Wrapping one arm around his neck I deepened the kiss. Allowing my fingers on my other hand to twist his hair when we get into a much deeper kiss. He broke the kiss helping me pull my shirt over my head and discarding his own somewhere across the room. "I want you too, Aurora. Just tell me if you want me to stop at anytime." He spoke in a soft warning looking for any hesitation on my face, but finding none so I lean up on my elbows giving him a long kiss. "Never stop, Charles. Like you said we can be normal people now. So kiss me please." The professor didn't have to be told twice because next thing I knew he gives me another passionate kiss where we ended up buried in the covers not pulling apart until we were both tired. "I love you, Rora." He kisses my forehead while I lay my head on his bare chest enjoying the moment. "I love you, Charles."
