Gold - Erik Lehnsherr

Charles had told you everything; from the reason Erik sometimes didn't sleep, to why he did some, what others would call, horrible things. Yet, your opinion on him never changed; you honestly thought that Erik was just misunderstood, that everything he did was understandable. Not to mention, you loved him. Greatly, too.

Lying in bed with him, you slowly carded through his hair and enjoyed the calm, mutual, silence.

"Y'know," you spoke up, the atmosphere of serenity not budging. "You were always gold to me, Erik. You always have been, too."

"(Y/N)," his voice was smooth as he said your name. "Do you know that you make me feel alive?"

"I do," you whispered, pressing a kiss to his temple. "Do you know that I love you?"

"I do," he chuckled, gently pulling you down onto his chest. "I love you too."

"You'll wake me up if you can't sleep, right?" You had made an agreement with Erik that if he couldn't sleep, then he had to wake you up so that you could make sure he wasn't alone, unless if he wanted to be, but even then, you still stayed up with him.

"Of course."

"Good."
