There’s someone else out there. There’s someone in the water.
#omg when charles suddenly doubles over because he can feel erik’s mind and all the anger and pain and his memories are so agonizing and perhaps to a normal person that would be a big fat STAY THE FUCK AWAY signal but charles is an idiot and probably the kind of guy who snuck bits of his dinner to stray ducks wandering around his estate when he was a kid and helps people who get lost on the tube and so he jumps his ass in that water and does his vulcan mind meld thang because not only does he need this guy to know that he’s not alone but he is fascinated by him and he has to help him because he feels his pain in the actual literal way not in the just-trying-to-sympathize way because in that one second on the stairs he actually physically experienced all of erik’s pain all at once I KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU ughhh these assholes #soulmate level match
