[ Charles is not going to tell him to leave. He's willing to let healing happen between them, otherwise he would already have stormed off (angrily wheeled off). There is always going to be a part of him that simply cannot let go of it, of them. Logan's words about him never giving up on the people he loved stays true, even if for a time there, he really did forget. It's not as if in his drunken state over the years he didn't consider going to get Erik in the Pentagon. It wasn't possible, but it may have crossed his mind, when he was in his cups and thinking about the past. It's the same as him imagining using Cerebro to find Raven, but he never did either.
Perhaps he is simply not willing to go back into his depressive state. The situation with Logan and the future he saw, it brought him back to life. This wasn't the life he envisioned, but it is the one he has at the moment.
Charles can be snobby but he could probably do fine as either of those things, and they would work better for him than something labor heavy. He has a pleasant speaking voice and he's extremely polite to people, so forward facing customer service of some kind would likely fit him. He is kind and friendly when he's not in a bad state of mind and wallowing in self-pity, like he was when Erik first came upon him. Like it or not, his friend picked him up a little. ]
Erik.
[ He reaches out to touch his sleeve again and the skin through the fabric, not tangling their fingers as they almost did before, but applying that connection once again. ]
Thank you for not making it harder. [ After a pause, he smirks wryly. ] And not dropping another building on me.
[ Is he going to let it go? Absolutely not! Erik is going to be hearing that for quite some time so he best get used to it. ]
I saw the future you when I saw it through Logan's eyes. In the end, we were a team. If we do ever find our people again, consider that as a door not closed unless you close it.
