Charles when it's late.
You and Charles were in his office, you were thinking up ways to train the kids and Charles was reading a book on the sofa, the pair of you sat in comfortable silence.
"What would you say if I said that we should get married?" Charles asked abruptly, not looking up from what you were doing you replied.
"I'd say that you delusional and sleep deprived." When Charles didn't say anything you looked up. Charles wasn't looking at you but instead at his book but his eyes were fixed on a specific word.
"Look, of corse I want to marry you, but there's just too much going on right now, I don't think that it's quite the right timing." You sighed, getting up and sitting next to Charles who looked up at you.
"But that's the thing. It is the right time. There's a war coming, what with Erik rallying mutants and the government going nuts, it's perfect time to get married." Charles answered, putting his book on the coffee table and facing you, his body turned towards you, his arm on the sofa and his other hand holding yours, gently brushing his thumb over the back of your hand.
When you didn't say anything he continued, "I love you, so, so much, and I'm terrified of losing you; and I want us to start our life together before something terrible happens to you or I."
You looked into Charles's blue eyes, you didn't say anything for a moment but then you nodded. Charles smiled widely, cupped your cheeks and pressed his soft, warm, lips onto yours. You kissed back, before the kiss got more heated Charles pulled away and rested his forehead against your own.
"I love you, so, so much." Charles whispered, smiling softly.
