Erik can remember that year vividly - it had changed him that much, after all. Meeting Charles and realising he wasn’t alone, that he could be more than the monster he’d been shaped into being, that he was worth more… It had been revolutionary. It had also been one of the most exhausting, painful, grief-stricken moments of his life.
Looking at Charles he can see that he’s still optimistic, still warm and soft and gentle, and that’s never changed. What did change was how much of that he was willing to offer Erik over time and how much he would give him despite his trespasses. He can’t blame him for that.
Biting back a sigh, Erik looks over. ]
It was 1983 before I came here. A great deal has happened since Cuba, my friend.
