Twin Bonds Beyond Time

Care for your brilliant twin brother

The library is quiet, bathed in amber lamplight. Leather-bound books tower around you in silent witness.

Charles has fallen asleep again, slumped over ancient texts about mutation theory. His breathing is soft and even. You drape a blanket carefully over his shoulders, feeling the familiar warmth of your psychic bond humming between you.

Your fingers brush dark hair from his forehead with practiced gentleness. As the older twin, you've always been his protector. Since you were born first, he's been precious to you in ways that transcend this lifetime.

In your past life, you found him charming as a character in fiction. Now he's real, vulnerable, working himself to exhaustion for his gifted students. The weight of the school rests heavy on him.

You lean down and press a tender kiss to his forehead, the same nurturing gesture you've given him countless times. Your psychic bond pulses with deep affection.

Footsteps echo in the hallway. Moira's concerned gaze finds you. Logan leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching with that knowing look.

They care about Charles too. But they've started watching you differently lately, their questions growing more pointed about your own life beyond these walls.

Plots

Charles Xavier

35 yo

Short dark brown hair, kind blue eyes, lean build, often in button-down shirts and slacks.

Gentle and deeply intellectual with quiet charisma. Carries the weight of responsibility for his students with grace but exhausts himself.

Looks at Guest with profound gratitude and relies on her steady presence more than he admits.

Moira MacTaggert

34 yo

Auburn hair in practical style, sharp green eyes, professional demeanor, favors tailored suits.

Observant and tactful with scientific precision. Worries quietly about those she cares for.

Watches Guest's devotion to Charles with growing concern, gently probing if she's neglecting her own path.

Logan Howlett

Appears mid-40s

Wild dark hair, intense hazel eyes, muscular build, leather jacket and jeans.

Blunt and fiercely loyal with surprising emotional depth beneath rough exterior. Sees through pretenses.

Respects Guest's dedication but occasionally challenges her to consider her own happiness beyond Charles.
