So here's your two chapters. Love you guys very much. 😘

Also, my birthday is in two days. August 18! ✌

========

You stood gripping the railing of the satellite with white knuckles.

Hank and Charles were fixing up Sean in the flight suit. You looked at Sean and he seemed to be as frightened as you.

"Scared of heights?" you heard a voice beside you. Not letting go of the railing you looked at Erik with a side glance.

"No, not at all. In fact, I was thinking of taking a little dive" you snapped at him,  looking down below. Seeing the huge distance from the ground you shut your eyes.

He chuckled and did the worst thing possible. He took your hands off the rails.

"What the fuck are you doing?" you hissed at him. He held your wrists in his hands.

"Look at me. Don't look down and you'll be fine." you looked at him. At first you were scared out of your wits but as you looked at him you began to calm down. Your breath hitched in your throat as his grey eyes twinkled as he smiled.

He said. "Whenever you start to feel scared just imagine that I'm right next to you. Wherever you are I'll help you through."

He let go of your wrists. You felt alright at first but looking away from him the fear crept back. Frightened,you stumbled towards him and put your arms around his neck, hiding your face in his chest. He smelled of aftershave and clean skin.

Erik stumbled back at first but then he put his arms around you. You felt safe and protected. Like when Charles held you till you feel asleep.

"I could stay like this all day. Man, he smells nice. Isn't he such a sweet guy though he looks rough and tough? And he's ridiculously handsome.

😇 - Gosh! Kate, what are you thinking! You already like Charles! The hell are you doing thinking about Erik!

😈 - But he has got nice eyes and at least he's tall.

😇 - You can't like both of them, their almost like best friends!

😈- However, Erik understands the inferno that you've been through. Charles doesn't."

You woke up from your mental war when you felt a light kiss on your forehead, making butterflies erupt out of nowhere.

"It's alright Liebling." you heard him whisper.

You withdrew from him but still you held his hand tightly.

You and Erik walked hand in hand over to the others. Were you imagining out was Charles giving Erik a shrewd look? You shook it off as Charles turned back to Sean.

"And you truly believe I'll fly this time?" Sean asked in a quivering voice.

"Unreservedly." you scoffed at his choice of word. You felt Erik let go of your hand and put it around your shoulder.

There it was again! The look from Charles. You were going to ask but Sean spoke first. 

"I trust you." he said.

"I'm touched." Charles answered.

Sean continued. "But I don't trust him."

"Say nothing." Charles said to Hank who obediently shut his mouth.

Erik smirked as you shook your head, giggling slightly at the situation. It was also funny how no one seemed to enjoy Hank's company.

"I'm going to die!" Sean shouted after glancing down.

"Will you be alright alone for a second?" Erik asked you. You nodded. His arm left your shoulder add he walked closer to Sean. You gripped onto the railing even tighter knowing something bad was going to happen, due to the evil grin on Erik's face.

As Charles was reassuring Sean, you watched Erik. He abruptly walked up even closer to Sean.

"Here, let me help you." he interrupted Charles and shoved the poor boy.

You gasped. Charles turned to him, disbelief etched all over his face.

"Erik!" he exclaimed in an accusing tone.

"Wait! Look!" you said joyfully, pointing at Sean who was now soaring through the air.

"What?" Erik asked Charles as he smirked evilly, "I know you were thinking the same."

You started to laugh and soon they both joined you.

Erik walked back to you. You quickly grabbed his hand. You glanced back down.

"I think it's about time I get off this wretched lump of metal." you said.

"You don't want to have a go?" he asked you.

"Don't you even think of it." you snarled back making him and Charles laugh.

Which are you? Team Charles or Team Erik?

I'm personally Team Logan but I always liked Erik more. He's got this cold regal personally.
