[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

Charles looked at the man sitting opposite him with emotion, the man was still in his memory, and time didn't seem to leave any trace on him.

The accident that flashed across his face was quickly replaced by a smile, and he looked at the man with gentle and nostalgic eyes. Even though this man brought him a lot of pain in the end, those pains have long been taken away by time, and now recalled, leaving behind It's all about memories that are so good that he can't help but smile.

"Neil, my dear friend, seeing you again is the most pleasant surprise to me in recent years."

long long ago.

It was a summer.

Charles is at the bar counter, playing his tricks with a beautiful woman he just met.

When the charming lady showed a delicate smile, Charles seemed to be inspired by something at that moment, and looked back in the direction of the gate in a strange way.

The chaotic sounds and crowd in the bar did not affect him at all, and his eyes fell on the black-haired man almost immediately after turning his head.

They all seemed to spot each other immediately, and during the few seconds that their eyes met, Charles could barely see or hear anything but the man.

He seemed to really feel that there was something like fate, and at this moment, he suddenly knocked on his door.

The call from the lady next to him brought him back to his senses for a short while, and he looked away in a little panic, but he could no longer return his attention to any word from the lady beside him.He had never imagined that one day he would fall in love with someone of the same sex at first sight. This incident made him feel a little overwhelmed for a while, but he couldn't help but straighten his back, hoping to keep him in the sight of that person who might look over. Straight and decent back.

Charles's pretended calm and indifferent posture didn't last long. When his eyes couldn't help looking for the figure of the man, when their eyes met, the man slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at him. , he just wanted to walk to that man, and he just wanted to know everything about that man.

But when he sat down next to the man, Charles felt at a loss again. He had never approached a man before, which made him very hesitant about what he should say in this situation.

Charles subconsciously wanted to use his ability to pry into that person's thinking. As soon as he turned his head, he met the gaze of the man who was looking at him with his head up.

Those are a pair of extraordinarily deep eyes, like a night sky full of stars. When you look directly at those eyes at close range, you seem to be caught in a whirlpool, which is confusing and amazing.

【beautiful】

The voice overlapping with his thoughts made him stunned for a moment, and he soon realized that he was not completely unattractive to the man beside him.

This encouraged Charles.He looked at the man beside him, and couldn't help but want to show his most attractive side to the man. His eyes were focused, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he subconsciously lowered his voice, trying to make it sound more attractive, "I don't seem to have See you here?"

After the words were spoken, Charles regretted it. This way of striking up a conversation was obviously stupid.

The man raised his eyebrows, and Charles didn't hear his mental activity in his heart, which made him feel particularly uneasy during the short time he waited for the man's answer.

"I just arrived in this city yesterday."

The man's eyes are pure black, they look particularly deep and fascinating, his voice is a bit hoarse, even in a noisy bar, people can catch his voice at the first time.

Because his whole person is so full of irresistible attraction.

He seemed to have seen through Charles' intentions, which made his every move ambiguous,

"I think I need a tour guide who can get along with me intimately," he tilted his head slightly to look at Charles, his low voice sounded like flirting, "Maybe you can help me?"

So Charles, who readily agreed, took the man to the bed not long after.

The brief throbbing of love at first sight soon turned into more and more passionate feelings in getting along.

Every move of Neil attracts him, and Charles often has the feeling that Neil is his soul mate. Hopefully his sister Raven accepts Neil too.

But it wasn't long before a CIA tracked him down.

Charles saw other mutants in the memory of the lady named Moiro, and they were very dangerous. Although this made Charles decide to help her, Charles was unwilling to involve Neil.

He told Neil that the matter had covered up most of the danger, and then took Raven and Moiro to the CIA headquarters in Virginia.

After they left, they often contacted by wired phone, but after Neil told him that he was going to continue traveling, Charles could no longer actively contact Neil. The only thing that made him not too upset about this was that he occasionally Can get a call from Neil.

This situation continued until Charles and his team eliminated the enemy, but parted ways with his friends and his sister due to different ideas. His spine was also accidentally shot at that time, resulting in paralysis of the lower body.

At that time, after Charles returned to his home, he no longer wanted to reunite with Neil urgently. He even extremely doubted whether the current self was still attractive to Neil.

He loses himself in alcohol until Neil reappears in front of him.

Charles took the wine he bought and awkwardly pushed the wheelchair home.

He can't live without alcohol for a moment now, even though his face still has a messy beard, he has no mood to take care of his image.

He knew that he must be terrible now, so when he met Neil on the street, he subconsciously just wanted to avoid it.

Charles was not proficient at manipulating his wheelchair. When he panicked, his control of the wheelchair plummeted. It didn't take long for him to drop himself and the bottles to the ground.

The fragments of the broken wine bottle stabbed his palm, and the bright red blood mixed with alcohol dripped down his hand, but he didn't seem to feel the pain, instead he clenched his fists and lowered his head.

Charles felt Neil approaching, and he heard the almost sigh-like voice in Neil's heart,

【Charles...】

This made him clenched his fists even more.

Neil helped the wheelchair up in silence, then picked Charles up and put him back on the wheelchair. He remained silent the whole time, even when he was pushing Charles home, he didn't speak again.

But that didn't stop Charles from hearing Neil's "voice."

【I love you, Charles...】

[Nothing can change it...]

Neil fully accepted his "new image" and accompanied him extremely patiently and tolerantly, but the more Neil treated him like this, the more Charles could not stand his disabled legs.

Especially when Neal was dressing him in front of the full-length mirror, the sight of it made him want to disappear from the mirror immediately.

When Hank handed him the potion that would heal his legs, he could hardly think of a reason to refuse, even though the cost of the injection was losing his abilities.

From then on, Charles felt that everything was better. He no longer peeped into Neil's mind because of anxiety, and his healthy legs seemed to bring back his confidence.

It was an exceptionally good time.

This kind of beauty paralyzes Charles and makes him intoxicated. His life completely revolves around Neil, and even in the future he can imagine, Neil is an indispensable existence.

Until he held up a ring and wanted to step into the next stage of his life with Neil, but Neil gave him a heavy blow, which made him suddenly sober.

"You are married."

Charles looked at the ring on Neil's ring finger and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He still remembers that when he was young, he also stood nervously in front of Neil holding a ring, but Neil refused it without any room for maneuver.And since then, Neil has disappeared from his life.

【I love you, Charles...】

[Nothing can change it...]

These two silent words often circled in Neil's mind after he left. They were like a thorn in his heart, torturing him repeatedly.

He never understood, and never had the chance to know, why Neil was able to leave so easily and resolutely in the first place.

There was a time when he hoped that Neil could give him an answer, but as time passed, many things gradually lost their original meaning in the face of time.

Now things are different, he is old, but Neil is still what he used to be, and even put on a wedding ring for another person. Those things in the past no longer make him brood like he did when he was young. On the opposite side of the man who seemed to be living a good life, Charles still felt more relieved and blessed.
