Prompt: Brian Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr were best of friends since they were wee children. They grew up together, went to college together, and basically did everything they possibly could with each other. They fell in love inevitably.
But Brian has to leave and go back to England, which means the pair are split apart. It a tearful separation, bound only by the promise to keep in contact with letters.
Fast forward to six years later: Erik is now twenty-two and has been informed that Brian, who had began a relationship with the girl he knocked up (reluctantly, as his heart is miles away)has died in a car crash. The mother of his child was with him at the time and while she didn't survive, her child had been saved.
Their child, Charles, grows up under the care of his nanny and maids. With access to his father's rooms and belongings, he gets to learn all about his relationship with a man named Erik. His curiosity builds as he reads the stacks of letters his father has kept, the photographs and journal entries that all paint a picture of a beautiful romantic relationship. He grows up believing Erik is the most passionate and wondrous man to live--he's all he thinks and dreams about.
The more he grows up, the more he craves a relationship like his father's and Erik's. He is also repeatedly told that he is the exact physical copy of his handsome father. When he finds out that Erik will be visiting him for his seventeenth birthday, he is overjoyed.
Erik is visiting his old flame's son for the first time, claiming to be Charles's father's friend. The moment he lays eyes on him, he is devastated by the similarities between them. Same eyes, same hair, same demeanour and youthful naivete. It doesn't help that Charles is smitten with him and fully aware of the nature of his relation with his father.
Everything about Charles draws him closer and closer and he knows it's wrong and Charles is too young to know their love but the way the boy seduces him, so reminiscent of Brian's quirks and traits with a mix of his own charm, and the way Charles's infatuation continues to grow - Erik realises he's falling head over heels in love.
