Unrestrained (Challenge 30 - Levity)
Title: Unrestrained
Prompt: Challenge 30 - Levity
Rated: PG
Word Count: 100
Characters: Charles/Erik, Moira, Raven, Sean (implied others)
Summary: In troubling times a bit of fun goes a long way.
Warning: Nothing
Music blaring; Charles laughs, spinning Moira around the makeshift dance floor, narrowly missing Sean doing a stationary shuffle.
The impromptu party was Raven’s idea after weeks of intense training and stress over the dark political situation. Initially Charles wasn’t sure (and Erik’s flat expression didn’t help) but the kids insistence set the wheels in motion.
Over Moira’s shoulder he catches Erik’s eye. Flushed and grinning, Charles calls out but Erik raises his drink as a polite brush off. Not one for rejection, Charles says, “You don’t know what you’re missing!”
Erik’s eyes sparkle as he replies, “I prefer the view.”
