Charles’ POV

I’d been able to see in colour now for almost a year. I couldn’t imagine the world without having Y/N’s Y/E/C eyes looking in my own.

“Hey, Charles.” She called from the doorframe as she swung into the room.

“Yes?” I answered raising my eyebrows up at her and her rosy cheeks and shiny, Y/H/C hair. I was never going to get how amazing the world was in colour.

“I just wanted to come and spend some time with you before my mission tomorrow.” She smiled as she plonked down next to me on the couch. The rest of the afternoon was spent cuddling on the couch with the occasional kiss in between conversation… well it was more a little conversation between kisses.

The next morning Y/N left early so I stumbled out of bed to see her and the others off. I waved them all goodbye noticing how brightly yellow their X-men uniforms were. Y/N ran back to me, threw her arms around my neck and kissed me hard.

“Be careful, okay.” I whispered, our foreheads touching.

“I always am.” She smiled back before I kissed her nose and she ran off to join the others who all made kiss faces back at her. I waved right until they were out of sight. I hated not being there in missions but I needed to let them do things on their own, they were really a talented group of young people.

A few days passed, with me occasionally checking in on them through my mind, these were the moments my powers really came in useful. Y/N assured me everything was going fine and they’d be back home tomorrow morning. I still spent half of my time worrying about them but I needed to busy myself in books or something to keep myself sane. I really did hate it when she was gone. I was about halfway through a chapter of my latest book when suddenly the Red couch I was sitting on slowly faded to grey. My heart felt like it was in my throat. I knew what this meant. It meant she was gone. Dead. She had to be or else why did the world suddenly go back to black and white. She couldn’t be dead… she just couldn’t. If she were I don’t know what I would do with myself. She was my soulmate and there was no one else in the world that would ever bring the colour back into my life. When my brain started to register this my eyes started to fill with tears until the whole black and white room was blurry. Something must’ve gone wrong, I pulled my head into my hands and let the sobs come. No one was around and no would care if the tears never stopped. It took me far to long to realise I could use my powers to contact the others. I tried and I tried to find them but my despair made my powers more difficult to control and for some reason I just could not pick up on anyone. I had to spend the rest of the night not knowing what had happened to my soulmate. After tossing and turning all night, holding back sobs and spending hours staring at the wall in denial I heard the front door open.

I hauled myself down the stairs to greet what was left of the team. It took all of two seconds for the colour to slowly start to return as I saw her, her arms around the shoulder of Alex and Hank as they held her up. But she was there, she was still here and still alive. My heart thumped in my chest and I ran towards her and hugger her as tightly as I humanly could.

“I thought you were dead.” I did all I could to hold back my sobs as I held her in my arms, something I thought I’d never get to do again.

“Charles, you’re crushing me.” She said wincing. I pulled back and apologised. I helped her over the couch so she could sit and wrapped her up in my arms the minute she was seated. Y/N leaned into me and nuzzled her head into my shoulder.

“What happened to you?” I stammered.

“Well, technically I did die. My heart stopped. The mission just went astray and… I… I fell but I mean I’m okay now. Just sore.” She reassured me the best she could.

“But why could I still see in black and white?”

“I’m guessing it was becasue I did technically die and then we didn’t re-meet again since I was re-alive.” She explained the best she could, weirdly through her somewhat made up words it actually made sense.

“You know I’m never letting you on another mission without me again, right?” I said kissing the top of her head and finally letting myself relax, knowing that the love of my life was alive and going to be with me forever.
