Oh, yes, he looks just like you. ( except skinny. ) I heard about there being alternate universes. It must have been interesting to have met an alternate version of yourself. He seems nice. ( he's now wondering what alternate versions of himself would be like. billy said the charles he knew had two kids, but he never married. that's not too surprising considering he's never been in a serious relationship with anyone before. )

Erik's from 1983 which is a whole two decades ahead of me, so I suppose we don't all come from the same timeline. ( since steve said his friends are from different points in time as well. ) But I have seen the future. Erik allowed me to read his mind since I was curious to know... ( he didn't want erik to have to keep him at a distance and avoid him. or worse still, resort to wearing that helmet again. charles puts his tea cup down to refill it. he should count his lucky stars, really. thirteen had pulled him into this world right before he was hit by a stray bullet. he should be paralyzed, but he's not. )

It's a lot to take in. But I don't regret finding out. ( he can't change what's going to happen, he knows that, and yet... ) I am still hopeful. About the future. And about what comes after.

[ Charles saying that makes Steve look down for a moment as he recalls when he'd explained how the future had turned out for Tony, how Bucky had reacted when Steve had asked, but he quickly tries to put those all thoughts aside because Charles can hear them and Steve definitely doesn't want or need Charles knowing about these personal moments.

Snippets of conversations peek through as Steve does the mental equivalent of shoving ones things in a closet before company arrives, and the most stubborn thoughts are the ones Steve deems most important, which are two faces: both crestfallen, one looking betrayed.
]

I've decided I'd rather not know.

[ If it's bad, he won't be able to rest, and if it's good, he won't be able to live in this moment, just chasing towards that future like he's entitled to it.

His mind fires off a "Sorry Charles," as he truly tries to get his mind off the topic, shutting that proverbial closet door shut tight.

He clears his throat.

How's the tea? I get it from the farmer's market. There's one every day.

( charles nods, completely respecting steve's decision not to find out. ) Most people wouldn't want to. ( and most people would be better off not knowing. he, on the other hand, felt he needed to in order to better understand erik. he didn't want to risk losing his friend again.

he smiles then, welcoming the change of subject.
) I absolutely love the tea, Steve. ( and he really does. he isn't exaggerating by any means at all. ) I don't think I've ever tasted tea this good and I'm really quite fussy about it. ( very fussy, in fact. )

I actually just went to the farmer's market yesterday. ( he'd bought some fresh ingredients to cook with. ) Would you like to stay for lunch? I do have enough to make us both a meal. ( whether or not it's edible, well... good luck, bruh. )

Oh, sure, I'd like that.

[ He's not aware that Charles' cooking is dangerous, but Steve's prepared because he's had Flynn's cooking. And Tony's cooking. This couldn't possibly be worse than that.

But he is optimistic, because he likes to believe the best in people, and he's sure Charles at least knows how to make a sandwich.
]

Maybe next time I'll treat you to one. But I've been told my cooking's not that great, so it might not be fair.

I'll have to be the judge of that. ( he gets up to pull some ingredients out from the refrigerator. ) I'm really not that great at it myself, but I think I'm a pretty decent cook. ( well, no one's actually complained to his face about it. he knows hank, raven and erik don't quite enjoy his cooking. after all, he is a telepath. but he doesn't think it's that bad. they're just fussy. )

Let's see. ( he thinks about it for a bit. no meat. he'd completely forgotten to purchase that at the market. ) Well. I'll make us a vegetable lasagna. ( and he'll insist that steve sits and relaxes while he sets about cooking. and while he's doing that, he'll talk about his time at oxford and how he almost burned down the kitchenette once, and that time he completely forgot about the cake he was baking in the oven and found it a whole two weeks later. hilarious, isn't it?

one hour later, and steve is presented with this salty dish. enjoy.
)

[ He's uh, concerned, but still cautiously optimistic as Charles goes on about his days at Oxford. He's so charming and such a naturally charismatic speaker, that it's relaxing to listen to his stories.

Well, except that he forgot about a cake he was making for two weeks. How did he forget that? How did he nearly burn the kitchen down?
]

Well it smells great. Thanks so much for making food, Charles.

[ He digs in and - wow, that's salty. Yikes. He swallows down, and clears his throat. ]

Not bad.

( while steve is eating the lasagna, charles will have a slice of that apple pie. it just seems like such a shame to not have a taste of it at least. and because steve says it's not bad, charles will let him know that he can have as much of the lasagna as he'd like. he knows he's got a big appetite. he'll then go on to talk to steve about what he'd missed about the 40s to 60s, mostly to do with books and music. more tea will be offered and then it's time for charles to head over to the orchard before it gets too late. he needs to collect those apples. but he'll tell steve to not be a stranger and to drop by whenever he's in the neighborhood. they're friends now. )
