Charles started off the morning the same way he always did...
Heat - Part 19d
(Anonymous) 2012-04-27 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)‘I owe you nothing,’ Charles said coldly, but Erik could tell that his plea had made a mark.
‘No, you don’t,’ Erik agreed. ‘But I owe you something. I owe you an explanation and you deserve to hear one. You can think whatever you like about me after that, but please – listen to me first. Let me – let me explain.’
Charles was silent after that and Erik was left on the most painful of tenterhooks until, at last, Charles gave him one slow nod.
‘Yes,’ he said, his voice low and his expression serious. ‘Yes, all right then. I will listen to your explanation. But after that – unless I say otherwise – I want you to leave. Forever. Do you understand?’
It was clear that Charles was highly sceptical of hearing any explanation that would absolve a person of multiple - of countless - violent murders, but at this point Erik was willing to take anything that he could get. Even if he had to leave afterwards and never see Charles again, it would be worth it. At least Charles would know why and maybe – someday, in the far, far future – he would find it in his generous heart to forgive Erik. Erik didn’t expect much, but he hoped with all his heart that Charles would one day understand.
‘Yes,’ he said, his voice low and clear. ‘Yes, I understand.’
Charles watched him carefully, before giving him a slow nod.
‘I ask that I be allowed access to your mind while you tell me your story,’ he said quietly. ‘So that I know that what you are telling me is the truth.’
‘Yes, of course,’ Erik said quickly. ‘Anything, Charles.’
Charles looked slightly more at ease at Erik’s easy capitulation.
‘Come then,’ he said, turning and leading Erik over to a pair of armchairs facing one another. He waited until Erik was seated before himself sitting down, crossing his legs and lacing his fingers together. ‘Now please. Start your story.’
Erik nodded and swallowed. He had never told anyone any of this before. His heart pounded as he realised that he would have to tell Charles everything – that he would have to relive it as he spoke. He forced himself to calm down. This was Charles. And if he had to do all this and more in order to regain some small portion of the man’s trust, then Erik would do it without question.
Taking a deep breath, he straightened up in his chair.
‘I was nearly eleven years of age when I met a man named Klaus Schmidt for the very first time …’

Re: Heat - Part 19d
Of course, we all knew this confrontation was going to happen, but it's still awful. OH NOOO, ERIK ;___; So painful, but thank god Charles is willing to hear him out. Not that I blame him for reacting the way he did, that would certainly be a shocking homecoming.
Great update, looking forward to more! ♥

(Anonymous) 2012-04-27 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)I'm glad you enjoyed this! It was difficult to know how to play it out so I'm glad you thought it worked! Hopefully I should be able to have more up relatively soon!
Thanks so much for reading and commenting!! xxx
Re: Heat - Part 19d
Oh, that was painful for the both of them.
*gets her tissues ready for Erik's backstory*

(Anonymous) 2012-05-11 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)Glad you found it painful. Unfortunately, I don't think I will really go into Erik's backstory, I'm afraid - it would be time consuming and practically the same as what was shown in XMFC. Hope that's okay!
(Also, next part's up!) xx
