"That depends on what you are confused by," *he said, not taking his eyes off Christian.* "Are you confused by your feelings in general, or those directed towards Erik which you feel ought to be directed towards a more suitable, female recipient?"

*That stupid blush wasn't going away...*
"I think...both? Maybe the second moreso than the first. I'd never...I mean..."
*He took a deep breath, and slowly let it out again, the blush finally fading*
"You make me...want things. Things I don't even know what they are."

*Erik thought his heart must be audible to the boy, so fast it was beating.*
"Perhaps if you tell Erik what those things are, he can help you. Figure them out."

*Erik's heart had company in the speed department, though Christian tried his best to hide it*
"It was the same when...when you kissed me. Though, it makes me think of that."

*His nerves singing, he stepped closer. He could exorcise the demons of his memory, in the very spot they'd plagued him. Dispel the thoughts of his Christine giving her soft lips to that worthless boy on this rooftop. Forget her surrender, her betrayal.
He stood inches away from Christian, the night wind sweeping lightly around them. And then he bent, and touched his lips to Christian's in a gentle kiss, careful to not mean too much by it, and rested their foreheads together.*
"You do not shrink from Erik's touch," *he whispered.* "So what does this make you think now?"

((Could this mean that you can get over Christine?))

*The kiss had sent a gentle, pleasant shiver through the younger man, and for a moment he was too caught in the feeling to answer.
His eyes never wavered from Erik's*
"Kiss me again?"

((In the sense that Erik basically thinks Christian *is* Christine.))
"Always."
*Erik obliged, a little more forceful but again, keeping strict control of his emotions in the hopes that such would keep his true face hidden.
Christine had never kissed him like this.*

*He sighed at the contact, somewhat grabbing hold of Erik, trying to make it last*

*Erik returned Christian's fervor, relishing the dig of the boy's fingers into his skin. His mind swirled in an ecstasy made up of images, not all of him, but culminating in the thought that this was really happening. The right way, this time.
He pulled away, breathless, and stared down at the boy.*
"Erik cannot," *he said, his breathing ragged.*

*Those big, blue eyes, looking disappointed. And then, a reluctant nod*
"I wish it were different." *He said sincerely. Still looking disappointed, he embraced Erik.
But it wasn't the same as a kiss. Not at all.*

*Erik settled his chin on top of Christian's chin. It was taking all his reserves of patience to keep from grabbing the boy again.*
"Erik would very much like it to be. But this face... the one Erik wears when he is with you..."

"I wish it didn't do that. I don't want it to frighten me, I truly do not. I don't like that it comes between so much."

"Erik hardly enjoys it, either," *he said bitterly.* "And you'll find that appearances count for... quite a lot, in this world."
