*Story of Us* Young! Charles Xavier x reader

Chapter 9

The first year went by in a blur. Xavier officially opened 'Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters' with Hank, Alex, Charles and yourself teaching. The mutants were lovely although it was a small group. You had a great fondness for all of the children. Charles and you even had brief discussions late at night about the future; you even discussed the possibility of your own children. You hope your children get Charles' eyes, he hopes they got your kindness and strength.
You practised your gift every day. generally Charles volunteered, as it helped him walk but he refused for your blood to be experimented on for some sort of a cure.

Charles and you were walking your hand leaning on his spine his arm looped around your waist. You had reached your twos favourite site (Charles favourite tree) when Alex jogged towards you two his face sad yet dignified. You stayed next to Charles who walked forward to Alex. "It's official" he sighed walking past jamming the freshly inked newspaper into your arms. The headline: Fight for Freedom. "Alex..." you walked forward forgetting Charles who immediately called out. You grimaced in embarrassment, sorry Charlie
No worries love.
"I'm leaving tonight. I'll be fine y/n. ." Paused before adding "Thank you, Charles. for everything. For a family, a home and my power which I'd probably be still in jail without you."
"Alex it was my pleasure. " Charles spoke smiling up at the new soldier. Tear brimmed your eyes as you gently set Charles back in his chair pecking him on the lips quickly before turning back to Alex. Charles sent a sad look at Alex before heading back to the school where it would be found empty of teachers, and most students - Charles had changed since Raven and Erik left you knew how that affected him. You leapt into his arms, tiptoeing so you could wrap your arms around his neck burying your face in his chest. "You'll be safe, okay. find your way back" you whispered,
"Aw your gonna miss me" he teased cheekily pulling your nose.
"You wish Summers" you rolled your eyes and giggled. After a brief silence you spoke up, "I never had a real family, that loved me now I have you, Charles and I love you alls-so much. Of course, I'll miss you. " you sniffled stepping back from his embrace.
"I'll miss you, this place, everyone." He spoke his eyes downcast,
"Can I ask one thing as a favour y/n/n." , you nodded slowly.
"Can you keep an eye on my brother, Scott" "I'll feel better knowing you're keeping an eye on him"
"Of course Alex, "

Later that day back at the mansion Alex had left along with most of the teachers and some students. Charles was sitting lopsided on his bed a beer hanging loosely in his hands, "Charlie..." you whispered walking up to him - fresh from the shower dressed in (fav pyjamas or sleepwear) - you gently unclasped his hands and took the bottle placing it on the bedside table. "The voices y/n they are worse. Every second in pain. All their suffering all their pain. It plagues me, I wake up seeing you dead. Raven left me, abandoned me. The schools closed. Finished. " he mumbled and groaned, you knelt in front of him, "it might seem everything's gone but it's not. You've touched so many lives, changed so many lives. Saved so many lives. You have me, Hank the students. More than you know" you gingerly place your hand on his cheek. Charles fumbled around on his bed uncovering a small vile, he shook the substance staring gloomily at it, "Hank diluted his serum for me. To walk"
"Charles...." you sighed sadly, the price you knew that it would cost his powers.
"I hate relying on you, weighing you down. I'm so tired and in pain"
"Charles you know my thoughts on this probably better than I know myself. I won't try to stop you. Just don't lose yourself." You leant your forehead against his own holding his hand. After what minutes of silence you left, "I'll be back with some tea" you spoke knowing Charles needed the time to think it through.

as the water boiled you sat on the bar stool you hand holding your head. "How is he?" Hanks asked from the doorway, you turned around smiling weakly and shook your head. "He's lost so much, he's spiralling in a whole pit of self-pity and alcohol. I just don't know what to do"
"Sometimes we can't do anything, just being there for them, never losing hope." He replied by fixing his glasses.
You sighed, preparing the tea. "I guess you're right. " Hank turned to leave smiling a goodbye. Let's see what next you thought.

A/N
Hey guys...
This was very confusing for me to write because it was summarising part of the time between first class and Days of Future Past. The beginning paragraph is a summary and then I carried on as if it was present I guess. Sorry for any confusion with the structure. The next chapter will be the last transition ending with the very beginning of the DoFP. I know it's a bit rough but I'll be rewriting/editing it later when I have the time along with a couple of the more rushed chapters.
