One night ( cherik )

Chapter 7

Charles

"So after all these painful years we finally meet."

I felt a variety of emotions surge through my weak body, anger, pain, happiness and sadness. The anger and pain are understandable but the happiness from seeing him was overwhelmed by the sadness that nothing will come out of this. I want him so badly words can't explain.

Then it struck me... why? Why did Alex arrange this? Clearly there must be a reason why we met and it's very suspicious that now a couple days after I told Alex I have a crush on Erik we meet. Maybe... no definitely not but just maybe he likes me back? What am I thinking he doesn't come on the chance of Erik being gay for me is highly unlikely especially that he's surrounded by good looking women. I could check if I was right but I won't go into his head without his permission, I wouldn't feel right.

"Charles I'm happy I bumped into you so could we go somewhere and talk because I have a lot to say to you old friend"

Him calling me an old friend stings, we used to be happy together being friends but now the new found love for him makes it's worse.

"I mean you have some explaining to do so let's go on a walk"

Erik

Why him? why him? Why today? I almost lost my composure and break down crying but I managed to hold it in. He looks like a beautiful sun set that I could just sit and stare at, when I look at his hands I can picture a ring on it, when I look at his arms I can picture them on my shoulders as we slow dance but all of that was just fantasies.

I fell in love more and more as ever second went past, but I was soon to be faced with the question of where was I all this time while he was suffering physically and emotionally.

All I could think of was apologising and telling him that I love him. Or maybe that's not the best idea, after all he probably hates me and I don't know if it's smart to tell someone who despises you that you love them. But either way I want to make this moment last so I suggested a walk where I could come out clean with all my regret to what happened on that beach.

Erik and charles

Erik - listen I'm sorry I really am, I can't stand myself for what I've done to you.

Charles - I thought that much, regret is messing you up, you know even though you look and act tough I think I'm the only one who knows how emotional you are which drives you but also destroys you. There's no need to apologise though as I have forgiven you.

Erik - I don't know what to really say as I'm ashamed to admit that your right...

As Erick talks Charles accidentally looked into Eriks mind where he discovered a feeling that he mirrored to Erik

Charles - Erik you LOVE ME?!? I'm sorry I didn't mean to but I'd that true?

Erik - wait what you looked inside my head?!... but ye it's true. I've loved you for a while but I know it's pointless because you don't lov...

Erik was interrupted as Charles silenced him with a warm kiss accompanied with a welcoming hug, Eriks eyes widened as soon as he was unable to speak because the love of his life just kissed him after he unwilling confessed his love

That moment felt like it lasted a life time but it came to an end but soon after as Charles pulled away and Erik was left in shock, Erik looked down at Charles's cute little face that had the biggest smile and a face that shined brighter than the sun.

Charles - I love you too Erik xx
