Leave me alone (Young Charles Xavier x Social anxiety reader)

Chapter 1

You had been trying to challenge yourself recently. It was not fun. It was putting more worry onto your shoulders. But you didn't back out as much. Today was probably one of the most challenging and risky experiences you would take.

You were going to a bar. Now, you didn't drink. Well, at least not out of your home. You were far too frightened of the possible outcomes. You shivered at your thoughts. You were just going to go to to test out your ordering skills.

You walked in. The stench of sweat and warm alcohol filled your senses, making you feel even more nauseous. You found a table, and sat on your own. For now, you would wait until you felt ready. But that's the thing: you never feel ready. Your breathing became faster with the anticipation. Your throat started to feel choked. You will not leave. You repeated that thought, in hopes it would make it true.

You noticed two men sitting at a table nearby. They looked like everyone else in the place. But something seemed different about them. You quickly shook the thought off. You combed your fingers through our hair, trying to steady your breathing.

Before long, the two men stood up. They were walking in your direction. Oh, dear. You looked down, trying to make your discomfort as least noticeable as possible. They stopped. Why!? "May we sit here?" one of them asked. No, no you can't. You thought to yourself, but nodded. The man who spoke chuckled. You thought it was rather rude, but you didn't know how you came across.

Both men sat down. The one who spoke had chocolate brown hair and striking blue eyes (not that you were staring). The other, a lighter shade of brown and... you couldn't catch eye colour. The men looked at each other, as if having a silent conversation. You really shouldn't have been observing them so closely. Would they start a conversation with you? Oh, why did they have to sit here!!!?

(Charles' POV)

This was going to be difficult. I really didn't want to scare her. She didn't even know yet! Erik and I were discussing how to break the news. He wasn't as patient as me, and started the awkward conversation.

"Hello..." He was stupid to expect an answer from her. "My name is Erik Lensherr, and this is my friend Charles Xavier. We would like you to join our school." She was absolutely terrified. No wonder she used her powers. I gave him an accusing glare, before trying to reason with her (and yes, I do mean in her head).

(Y/N)? Calm down. We do not mean to harm you. Why won't they leave me alone!!? We are here to help, just hear us out. I need to get out of here, why did I think I could do this?

(Back to author's POV)

You got out of there fast, walking briskly back to your safe home.
