Death By The Lakeside

Chapter 8

Charles and Erik were awoken to the sound of someone shoving their shoulders.
"what?.. what time is it?" Muttered Charles as he awoke first. Erik came to his senses afterwards as he too wondered he had awoken them from the beautiful slumber. 
"oi come on, it's party time" said Darwin. Behind him was Sean and Alex who were carrying boxes of party supplies. Charles groaned as he took his weight to the bed but Erik was there, he was always there and Charles knew that. 
"let me help you" said Erik kissing him on the cheek. It was warm and comfortable and sweet at the same time.
"thank you" replied Charles. Erik helped him get dressed as they kissed between clothes changes. Erik lifted him out of his shirt and pants before giving him new ones, he licked his lips at how Charles changed his clothes like a god. 
"I like it when you undress" smiled Erik as he walked towards him wrapping his long arms around Charles' naked body. 
"care to join me?" 
"oh but I thought we have a party to go to?" Laughed Erik.

They kissed for who knows how long but they did it anyway. Charles who still hadn't gotten dressed was lying below Erik as they kissed, each one more tense than the rest. 
"I love you" 
"I love you too" 
They danced with their fingers through each other's hair as they were on the edge of glory. There was a knocking at the door. 
"guys you ready?" 
The sound of Alex's voice echoed through the door and the walls.
'shit' 
Both Charles and Erik quickly for changed and as fast as they kissed they opened they door together, a smile upon their flashed faces. Alex didn't ask but only told them that they were ready and Hank will arrive any mintue. 
"okay we'll be right there" said Charles and he closed the door without any other word coming from his mouth. Once the door was closed both Charles and Erik laughed to histeria for what seemed to be ages until they finally controlled themselves and headed out of the space bedroom.

Charles limped across the room and this worried Erik as he placed his hands on his shoulders to support him. 
"I got you" he said helping Charles down the stone steps. 
"thank you and him alright thanks" said Charles as he allowed Erik to help him. They arrived in the front yard where the other guys were already there. 
"Hey, there you guys are, welcome" called out Sean who was ready had a peice of cake in his hand. Charles and Erik laughed and seated themselves in the nearest table where most of the food were already set up, Charles wrapped his arms around Erik and rested his head on his neck and just as Charles closed his eyes his phone rang in his pocket. 
"what is it?" Asked Erik. Charles shrugged his shoulders and looked at his phone and beamed Erik a smile. 
"Raven. She wants to video chat" 
"okay" 
Charles pressed the green button and there was Raven and their children. 
"HEY!" 
"oh gosh we missed you so much" cried Charles his arms still around Erik.

Back at home was Raven with Lorna next to her with David on her lap and the twins one either side of the sofa. 
"we miss you daddy" squealed David waving at the screen. 
"we miss you too baby" said Erik as he kissed Charles on the head. "How are things going? Are you doing your homework you two? Erik asked the twin. 
"I am, Peter isn't" smirked Wanda. 
"hey, I am doing my homework just go and ask Lorna" said Peter pointing at his sister on the other side.
"don't point Peter!" Said Raven.
"and no you weren't doing your homework, you were busy with meeting your friend Scott, Jean and Kurt" told Lorna smiling at the screen. Charles laughed with erik. 
"now when we get back home we'll talk about this" said Erik looking at Charles. 
"you head your father, now enough about that tell us about you? What's been going on?" Said Raven eger to know what has been happening so far. 
"well Hank's friends invited to a party, we are acutally here right now" said Charles.

They talked and talked when David yawed that stated a chain reaction from the others. 
"I think it's bed time" said Charles through the screen and raven nodded. 
"we'll see you soon, be safe you two" 
"we will don't you worry" said Erik.
"okay, now children what do you say?" Asked Raven. 
"goodbye, we miss you. We love you both" they all said in union. And after that Lorna blew a kiss to the screen and so did the twins,David was already alseep in Lorna's arms. Charles and Erik waved back blowing kisses too and so Lorna left with David and Wanda and Peter did the same. Raven stayed for a while to say one last goodbye. 
"promise me you two will have fun and come home soon, you promise"
"we promise Raven, there no need to worry"
"okay, okay. I love you and you too Erik"
"we love you too" 
"bye, see you two when you guys get home, we'll be waiting" 
By the end Raven went off and the screen went blank.

Charles snuggled close to Erik now resting his head on his chest. 
"I love you so much" 
"and the same too you" 
Charles giggled before Hank had arrived with Alex. 
"what is it Alex? Is it that you had to..."
He didn't had time to finish as he was shocked to see what they had prepared. 
"HAPPY BRITHDAY!" They screamed into the night as Charles and Erik joined into the celebration. 
"gosh thank you so much" he called out. The night passed so eveningly that nothing disturbed the night as they partyed away not caring how much noise they made. All Charles could think of was how lucky he was to have Erik by his side. He'll never forget this night.
