but that's how we like it, and that's all we want

[ He wakes up, and he's not where he should be. Gone is Charles Xavier's bedroom, the warm press of a body beside him, and in it's place is - well, Erik thinks it's a library. He pushes himself up off the mattress on the floor, black wood shelves looming into view. He doesn't know what's happening, only that he feels a little outside it all. Nobody could have moved him in his sleep, and if they wanted to, they wouldn't leave him somewhere like this.

He turns around to glance at the room twice, moves a little closer to the shelves to draw his fingers across the spines, not plucking them free just yet. There's a sound, somewhere outside the room, and he abandons the examination in favour of opening the door, taking the hall at a quick, but not frantic pace. He's curious, which is bizzare in and of itself.

Though he doesn't look into any of the rooms he's passing, it does feel like there's life in here, wherever here is. He hears the noise again, traces it through.

[ He cracks a real smile at that. It's a bit of uncomfortable shadowplay that makes up a facet of their relationship, the "worthiness" debate. Erik isn't worthy of Charles because he's a monster, Charles isn't worthy of Erik because he's half a person - whether or not they're true, they're both capable of joking about it and leaving it at the wayside (after a fashion) so they can be together.

And letting Erik roam all over him is well and good, but Charles isn't going to go without touching much longer, shifting a little to brush along Erik's nape.
] How do you feel about welcome? Desired?

[ Laughing softly, Charles shifts aside to peel off part of the robe's open vee neck, pressing his lips to the warmed, downy soft skin beneath, murmuring against him. ] Distract me.
