Round 5, Charles/Erik, Raven
Date: 2013-02-05 06:15 pm (UTC)Charles and Raven get into a big fight after Charles absent mindedly responds to one of Raven's surface thoughts, like correcting her grammer or laughing at a joke or something, and Raven sees this as him breaking his promise. (she's probably upset over something else, and just takes it out on Charles, because I don't think Raven would yell at him like that otherwise, but I don't mind).
Charles doesn't want to upset his sister, so the next day he purposely blocks out every thought of everyone in the mansion, even surface ones.
Thing is, it's hard work keeping those shields up constantly, and the effect is physically draining. By the end of the day he's practically falling asleep into his dinner and can barely bring himself to get up the stairs to go to bed, let alone play chess with Erik. Cue put out!Erik and guilty!Raven.
The day after, Charles doesn't show up at breakfast. When Erik goes to check on him, he finds him lying on his bed above the covers in yesterday's clothes, fast asleep. He finally emerges in the early evening embarrassed at having slept so late, but still refusing to read anybody's mind.
Mainly I want Raven realising how difficult it is for him to stop himself from doing what comes naturally, but I don't mind Cherik or another pairing, but it's not neccesary.
Bonus: something about how Charles acts when he can't hear people's thoughts, like he takes figures of speech literally, or he can't tell when someone's lying or being sarcastic. He can't hear underlying emotion in a voice because he never needed to before. (jesus, even the bonus is too long!)
