I was bored the other night and asked those on Tumblr to give me Cherik prompts - And this is just a collection of those drabbles. The content and setting varies with each one, but I'll put the prompt at the beginning of each so you can decide if you want to read it or not. In all likelihood, each drabble will be a 'stand alone' - If something changes and I decide to continue on with one of them, I'll mention it in the Authors Note.

Hope you can find these enjoyable! I'm certainly having fun writing them!

General warnings include swearing, implied sex ... And I'm not really sure what else yet.

Prompt 1: Erik singing! There isn't enough of Erik singing in this fandom. o uo

Secrets were called secrets for a reason, and Erik had several - The vast majority of which he'd be more than happy to take to the grave with him. He should have known that Charles would somehow find out though, should have expected something like this would come up. He should have anticipated it.

But he hadn't though, he simply hadn't. So, when Charles announced they were going to have a Karaoke night, Erik had, naturally enough, attempted to leave. Charles, of course, had given him a look that said 'Leave, and you're getting absolutely no sex tonight', and how could Erik ever argue with that? Sex with Charles just so happened to be one of his favourite things.

Which was precisely why, two hours and copious amounts of Alcohol later, Erik finally caved to the kid's demands and deigned to stand in front of them all, holding a microphone awkwardly in his hand. Sighing, Erik sent a pointed 'I hate you' glare in Charles' direction, and selected a song that he actually knew.

Charles simply smiled as if he'd heard the thought, the smile a clear counter of 'Perhaps, but you also love me,' and Erik couldn't argue with the truth in that. Resigned to his fate as the chords of the song started, Erik broke into a rendition of Twist and Shout - With more gusto than the children had anticipated, if their sudden whoops of "Yeah! Go Dad!" were anything to go by.

~x~

Much, much later that night, Charles was resting on Erik's chest, his hand trailing random happy patterns into whatever skin he could reach.

Gently, he asked, "Sing me something Erik? You have a lovely voice, I don't understand why you try to hide it."

Erik's initial reaction was to scoff, because he highly doubted that were the case. As Charles shifted to look up at him beseechingly though, it was all Erik could do to softly croon the first song that came to mind - Which just so happened to be that Too Good To Be True song from that movie Raven loved. 10 things I Hate About You, or whatever it was called.

He barely even got through the first verse before Charles surged forward and brought Erik's soft words to a halt. Thank God, Erik thought, because he actually had no idea how the rest of the song went.

LOL. Okay. Twist and Shout is surely an overdone song but … I couldn't think what else Erik might sing XD
