Rating: Gen
Word Count: Almost drabble
Characters: Charles/Erik implied
Prompt: On the kink meme Charles dies and Erik carries his dead body

Summary: Mini drabble, inspired by a quote from Firefly

If you can't run any more, you walk

–The helmet fits Erik too well, the words that pour from his mouth are revolutionary rhetoric–

'Go ahead, Charles, tell me I'm wrong.'

When you can't walk any more, you crawl 

–Charles ran and yelled and tackled him to the ground. They fight, blood splatters across the sand. A gun fires at the helmet and Erik responds–

And when, when you can't do that any more, you–

You find someone to carry you.
