Without giving away any spoilers, hang on with me just a leeeeetle bit longer, and I promise you will get everything you want (I hope!)

Erik is selfish, because he wants so much and he is in a position where he can take it. That said, it's not unusual for new fathers, for example, to feel jealous of their own children and the attention given to them by the mother, which is what I was going for, though it's not quite that relationship, obviously.

Erik has never really had anything that was his, just his, and he's lived so long in isolated desolation in his head that he's grabbing at this thing that he is being offered, that he can have, and he doesn't know how to not hold on too tightly, especially when Charles is reciprocating. He's not really emotionally experienced enough to make that distinction. Which is the source of a lot of their problems, really.

I'm glad you feel strongly about it! I hope you continue to do so and that you enjoy where we're about to go :)
