"There we are, our new home."
Erik gestured at the house. It was a good neighbourhood, quiet but without getting so high-class that there were bound to be nosy neighbours.
The house itself was on a little square with some greenery and benches. Like most houses in Paris it had multiple storeys, but Erik had mainly decorated the ground level for Charles and himself. The rest consisted out of 'guestrooms' and 'guest-bathrooms' and other things that would come in handy when you had a partner prone to taking in strays.
It was spacious enough, though. Erik had after all purchased it with wheelchair-accessability in mind.

Charles smiled "It's wonderful, although it could use a few more bushes out front" he remarked "but we'll take care of that later."

"You and your botany..." Erik mumbled jokingly as he went to unlock the door.
He'd tried his best with the house. It was sometimes difficult to combine their tastes, Charles often tending towards more... classic things while Magneto obviously liked metal surfaces.

Charles rolled in and looked around, it was apparent that Erik had been the decorator "It's nice" he had done well enough to try and bring their tastes together, but there were far too many flat surfaces and it was a bit colder than he liked it.
"Nothing a couple pillows can't fix" he reached up and took Erik's hand.

Erik raised an eyebrow.
"A couple pillows, you say?" The smile tugging at his lips was a clear tell that he was quite comfortable with losing that 'fight' before it even began.

"A few rugs a couple pillows, maybe some lighter window treatments" Charles was quite sure he could make the house homey quicker than Erik could blink.

Then again, Erik was a slow blinker.
"I may need some convincing on that part, Charles..." he chuckled.

"I promise not to change it too much "across the room a table turned sideways along a couch "I like the colors" he smiled.

"Well, I'm glad His Majesty is pleased with my work." Erik chuckled, he knew he'd feel right at home no matter what Charles did to the place... as long as he had the other man's company.
Auschwitz did teach you that... you had to cherish your loved ones while they were there.

Charles waved his hand at Erik as if to say Oh please and continued turning tables and straightening a picture on the wall. Yawning a picture that he was turning almost fell, but stopped feet from the floor "Oops" he chuckled and put it back up.
"There we go" he chuckled, it didn't look much different, but it didn't matter much "let us continue with the tour hrm?"

"I swear, Charles... one day..." Erik didn't finish that sentence. He never did.
"This way, then." Using his powers to guide Charles' chair, he began the 'royal tour of the castle'.
There was of course a spacious and highly accessible bathroom, a library (with a chess-set he'd picked with great care), workrooms, a kitchen and the bedroom.

Charles of course allowed the other man to guide him. At they went through the house, he made mental notes of the things he wanted to change and the things he loved "It's delightful Erik."

"Well, I tried my best. As you know, home decoration isn't exactly my strong suit." Erik smiled the other man.

"You did quite well" he chuckled "thank you by the way."

Erik raised his eyebrows. "For what?"
