Work Text:
Charles is a rational man, and rational men cannot be haunted. He sees no apparitions, nothing moves untouched. (Not even things he wishes would move, flesh and metal, touched or untouched.) Disembodied voices? He’s a bloody telepath. Again. The sense that someone is constantly, invisibly present baffled him as a child, {{Kurt says Brian's gone but he's always here, watching me until I drink him away}}, but now it’s vividly real. If he’d understood the consequences of pushing so deeply into that barbed, terrifying (fascinating, beloved) mind... but he’d no choice, had he? Unseen and unwanted (liar), Erik is everywhere.
