Charles' POV
A short while after I put my phone down and buried myself under the covers, the door to the bedroom was opened softly. Smiling at the familiar set of footsteps, I quietly called "hello darling."
There was a slight rustle that I took to be Eric changing into a pair of tracksuit bottoms before the bedsprings creaked and a hand snaked its way around my waist.
Rolling over, I smiled at Eric then pressed a gentle kiss to his lips which was reciprocated immediately.
"Hello Schatz." Erik murmured, pulling me close then resting his head on my chest.
"Long day?" I asked lightly.
"Too long." Came the muffled response.
Gently brushed my fingers through Eric's hair, I murmured "go to sleep my darling, we can talk more tomorrow as we're both off."
"M'kay, I love you."
"I love you too," I breathed "God I love you too, I love you more than should be physically possible."
Even though Eric had fallen asleep I was sure that I felt the sides of his mouth twitch up in a sleepy smile.
