Rating: Teen
Words: >4k+
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Summary: The moment they spotted the sign for “Change Your Life With MagXap Insoles!”, he knew that getting Erik to turn and walk away from this particular booth slowly was going to be no easy task. “Erik, don’t,” he hissed, “it’s not worth traumatizing the poor man, he’s likely in far over his head as it is...” But reaching for the other boy’s wrist proved fruitless – he was already several strides ahead, making a beeline.

Comments: It's a kinkmeme fill, and so the summary is mostly made up by me. The four (four!) stars should really show just how good this fic is. It's a dark, and fucked up in a lot of ways (which is why it's good, for me at least) but damn there are many, many beautiful parts of this. Just,, give it a shot, please?
