First Date

Charles:

Your first date with Charles Xavier was nothing short of elegant. When he'd invited you out for an evening, you weren't sure what to expect, but it made perfect sense when he showed up in a tailored suit and mentioned that you'd be attending the symphony together.

"I hope you enjoy classical music," Charles said with a charming smile as he helped you into the car. He'd hired a car service for the night, making the evening feel even more refined.

"I do," you replied, smoothing down your dress. "But I didn't realize you were such a fan."

Charles chuckled softly, his blue eyes twinkling in the dim light of the car. "There's something about it that speaks to me. The complexity, the emotion behind every note... It's like hearing a story without words."

The drive to the concert hall was filled with easy conversation. Charles was an excellent conversationalist, as you'd always known, and he had a way of making you feel completely at ease. As the car pulled up to the grand entrance of the symphony hall, you couldn't help but feel a bit in awe of the entire experience.

The evening only became more magical as you entered the concert hall, which was adorned with rich red velvet and gleaming chandeliers. Charles guided you to your seats, which were near the front, and you felt a thrill of excitement as the orchestra began to tune their instruments.

As the music filled the room, Charles leaned over slightly, his voice soft in your ear. "It's Rachmaninoff tonight. One of my favorites."

You smiled, settling into your seat as the first notes of the symphony swelled. The music was beautiful, rich and layered, and it was clear from the serene expression on Charles's face that he was completely absorbed in it. You found yourself watching him more than the orchestra at times, admiring the way his eyes flickered with emotion, how he seemed to be living every note.

During the intermission, you strolled through the elegant lobby together, sipping on champagne as you discussed the music. Charles's passion for the symphony was infectious, and you found yourself getting swept up in it.

"I never knew you were such a romantic," you teased lightly as he described his love for the third movement of the piece.

Charles smiled, a soft laugh escaping his lips. "There are many things you'll learn about me, Y/N."

The second half of the symphony was just as breathtaking, and by the end, you felt like you'd been on an emotional journey. As the final notes faded and the audience erupted in applause, Charles took your hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I hope this has been a good first date," he said softly as the two of you stood to leave.

You smiled, feeling your heart warm at his thoughtfulness. "It's been perfect."

On the way back, Charles suggested a quiet walk through the nearby park. The night air was cool, and the city lights twinkled around you as you strolled side by side. There was something peaceful about being with him, about the way he made everything feel calm and serene.

At one point, Charles stopped, turning to you with a soft smile. "I've had a wonderful time tonight, Y/N."

"Me too," you replied, feeling your pulse quicken as he stepped closer.

Charles raised a hand to gently brush a strand of hair behind your ear, his touch light but tender. "I'd like to see you again, if you're open to that."

Your heart fluttered as you smiled up at him. "I'd love that."

And with that, Charles leaned down, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to your lips, sealing the perfect end to a beautiful first date.
