Why this must be read:
Sometimes, you just need fluff. And this is excellent fluff indeed, the kind you want to hug and snuggle with. Charles works in a daycare with baby mutants and Erik is his tolerant boyfriend. So cute. This story is my favorite in a broader series of stories called the Daycare universe, and I'd recommend all of them.
In contrast to Charles, Erik doesn't like people. At all. Erik can, in fact, count the number of people he's willing to voluntarily spend time with on one hand. He doesn't even need all the fingers.
He's always been a loner--he hasn't had the easiest life and he learned long ago that the best way to get by is to keep to yourself and mind your own business. If you don't bother other people, they'll probably still bother you, but you can always claim in court that they started it and have evidence to back it up. Erik doesn't even really do relationships--a few in his youth, briefly, but in recent years it's been one-off dalliances or vague arrangements devoid of affection.
Erik just... doesn't like people.
Charles isn't just people, though. Charles is....
Erik had thought he was in love before, once. Was sure of it at the time. Was sure of it right up until he had been dating Charles for a month and a half and looked at him over the scratched up table in a Starbucks and nearly fell off his chair with the enormity of emotion he suddenly felt. Being in love with Charles is like nothing he's ever experienced and it makes him doubt everything he thought he knew about love. It encompasses all of his being, but in boring, mundane ways, that almost mean nothing on their own except for how they mean everything, except for how, when you put them together, they add up to every facet of Erik's life.
He should be scared. He is, a little, sometimes, but then he looks across the messy apartment and sees Charles asleep on the couch in one of his frumpy cardigans or singing the theme song to the Wonder Pets as he cleans or reading Toot and Puddle while standing over the coffee table because he can't not read it whenever it's in his hands, and he remembers that Charles is utterly ridiculous and being scared of him feels almost silly.
It doesn't change how he feels about people, though. It just proves that Charles is that much better than people.
