.. okay but consider that "why do you stick around?  what is it you think you see in me?" is like a very cherik thing. right there.
So aggressively them it hurts
“Why do you stay? What is it you think you see in me?”
Erik rolled over in the bed to the sound of Charles’ voice. It was dark in Charles’ bedroom, not even the blue light from the moon provided visibility, “What?”
There was a few beats of silence, ticking from the grandfather clock and the sound of pipes settling that only Erik was aware of.
“I know we carry differing opinions on humanity and the danger they are to our kind,” Charles paused and Erik gave him a moment, blinking up at the dark ceiling, “and to say ‘differing’ is a gross minimization of our stances. But, you know where I stand and I you. So why stay?”
Erik frowned at the words, considering, “Where is this coming from?” He tried to sift through the previous day, was there something he said that brought these anxieties up? It had been years since Shaw, since Erik’s own tunnel vision caused him to hurt Charles, and they both made efforts to meet in the middle. Erik would always be too radical, and Charles would always be too peaceful.
Charles shifted in the bed, away from Erik, “I worry constantly that this will come to an abrupt end, everyday I make a list of reasons why that won’t happen. But today, I couldn’t move past the thoughts.”
“Do you want this,” Erik motioned between them, “whatever we are, to end?” They did not have an official word for what they were, and Erik didn’t think there needed to be one. He was not one to get caught in titles, he knew what they were and was confident enough in their relationship to never doubt that Charles also knew. Together they taught, raised, dozens of mutant children to be one with their abilities and exist in community with one another. They dealt with one another in fits of anger and annoyance. They did simple, mundane things that warmed Erik’s heart, from morning walks to evening sips of whiskey in front of the fire. Erik did not want this to end, but he also did not want Charles going through the pain of always waiting for an ending.
“No,” Charles said it with urgency, rolling his body slightly to grab at Erik’s hand, “no, that’s the last thing I want. I just want to understand why you stay. Day in and out, through wonderful and horrible times, you stay. Why?”
Erik pushed himself up with one arm, bringing Charles hand up to his mouth to press a gentle kiss to the knuckles, “For you, I stay for you. Are differences are present, yes, but they cannot push me out. They will not make me leave. Charles, you are telepathic, should these anxieties come up again just look. See that I am not going to leave at a moments notice.”
Erik couldn’t see Charles’ face in the darkness of the bedroom, but he could feel the grip of his hand tighten, just as he could feel the familiar poke of Charles’ mind coming into his.
“Oh,” Charles said, the single syllable almost a hiccup, “alright.”
“Alright?” Erik settled himself back into the mattress, bringing his other arm around Charles’ waist to pull him closer.
“Quite,” Charles let his weight relax against Erik, pausing before saying, “thank you.”
Erik knew he didn’t need to reply, instead just pressed his lips to Charles’ forehead, knowing that this conversation may come up again in the future and should it, he will smoothen out Charles’ anxieties once again.

Started Watching Banana Fish...
Cherik X Banana Fish
The moment when they first met was the moment when I realised what I was about to get myself into. The love that was about to bloom as Ash and Eiji finds their way around each other.
I'm seeing a lot of Cherik vibes.. The sort of similarities between Charles and Erik with Ash and Eiji. The moment of the unknowni as fate brings them together.. I am seriously am so excited for this show. I haven't seen it yet until now. I'll keep updating this as I watch some more..
I know where my heart belongs, where I can see each other in their shoes.

I’m honestly surprised we have had Jean being in a relationship with Ororo yet with all this queer baiting... I understand there putting storm with BP for the Xmen to have a connection with Wakanda but... JeanOroro is equivalent to CharlesErik... I mean Jeroro have literally gone on dates in their mind, Jean has met Ro’s parents in her soul... like if Marvel is gonna bait us... make it exciting😂 As for this polycule... I’m gonna need more Ororo action ASAP!!!
JEANORORO IS SO REAL. i know they’re just queerbaiting. i know. i’m not new here. but god.......dox b like “we don’t know storm and we refuse to give her anything to do” and its criminal!!!!!!!!! storm is probably the One X-Man Everyone Loves and they SHOULD

“Cucumber should be well sliced, dressed with pepper and vinegar and then thrown out!” bc cucumber is gross 98% of the time. Cherik probably.
“What the hell is that?“
Charles looks up from his sandwich and smiles, face brightening, “Hello, Erik. Having a good afternoon?”
Erik ignores both the question and Charles’ breathtaking smile in order to keep his disgust evident on his face, “What is that?”
“A sandwich,“ Charles answers simply, “Why is it offending you so deeply?“
The sandwich in question is cream cheese on toast with cucumber gently layered on top. It’s an abomination, an offence to mutant kind. If it was made of metal Erik would have gotten rid of it by now.
“There’s cucumbers on it.“ Erik motions to the sandwich with his right hand, “It’s ruining perfectly good toast and cream cheese.“
Charles rolls his eyes, “I beg to differ, this is the best use of cucumbers.“ He gently places the top piece of toast on the monstrosity and cuts it into triangles with his plastic knife. 
Further offense is taken from the sandwich.
Erik grimaces as Charles takes a bite, “The only way cucumber should be prepares is well sliced, dressed with pepper and vinegar, then thrown out.“
Charles snorts, taken off guard, choking on a piece of the sandwich.
“See, it’s killing you.“ Erik pats Charles on the back until the coughing subsides, “Cucumbers are an offense to all vegetables.“
“Don’t be so dramatic,” Charles says, standing up straighter with his newly found breath. He picks up his plate and glass of water, “The fact that you don’t like cucumbers shows lack of cuisine culture on your part.“
Erik folds his arms over his chest and watches as Charles readies to leave, “Eat enough cucumber and you could give yourself cyanide poisoning.“ He knows it’s not true, but it’s another strike against the cucumber.
“Eat enough anything and you’ll die, darling.“ Charles says, a verbal wave off, “I’ll be enjoying my delicious sandwich on the terrace if you want to join me.“
A grimace, “Perhaps when you’re done eating.“
Charles presses a mental kiss to his cheek, “Suit yourself.“ Then leaves.
Erik gives Charles a moment until he’s out of earshot before setting off to the fridge.
No cucumber shall survive Erik’s disgust.

Loving Erik was like standing on a cliff ledge.
A very precarious, crumbly cliff.
It was a heavy-handed analogy, but the most apt one Charles could think of.
The cliff is high, above crashing waves and sharp rocks and every so often pieces fall off, and Charles see's them go tumbling down, larger pieces hitting the rocks and he can see just how grim his fate will be if he was to be standing on the next unfortunate piece that comes away.
Sometimes there is a terrible storm. Sometimes entire masses come away, enough to support a house, far too close for comfort.
The wind is sharp, the rain is cold and painful and the sea is almost black as it hurls itself against the cliff wall below. Charles wonders if it is worth standing there in those moments. If it would be better to simply walk away, to go inland. It's safe, secure. It's warm, and the treacherous weather becomes so much less dangerous.
You can't get hurt if you go inland.
Then, on some wonderful rare occasion, it is peaceful.The sun breaks through the clouds, the wind is a light breeze in Charles's hair, and if he strains his eyes, he can see across the sea, see the vague outline of a land he's only been to once. A land that was full of hope, promise and forgiveness.
The sea between is blue and bright and beautiful.
In those moments, Charles knows he will stand on that ledge forever, until it finally crumbles beneath him.
