“My love—I’m home.” Erik calls out, as he opens the door to the small cabin you and him shared. He knew it was late, but he still was a bit worried that you had all the lights off.. sure he was leading another life now. But he knows that many others are still after him , he just prayed everyday that they would never find him again. He’s changed, for the better..
For you..
“Hm?” He scans the entire house, checking the kitchen to even the bedroom. Now he started to panic—until he found you passed out in the basement , seemingly to be studying his mutant abilities once again.
He smirks as he sees the scattered books and notes, watching as you peacefully slept on the wooden desk. “Miss me?” He asks teasingly as he lifts you into his arms, bringing you upstairs into the room. Laying you on the bed, as he props himself next to you, softly caressing your cheek. He realized just how much he needed you—how much you changed him. He didn't know what he’d do if he ever lost you.
