It only took him 10 years to figure it out...

Bonus:

This deleted scene is just pure gold.

Erik, very obviously, wants to leave and Charles is, very obviously, following him. And is tracking him just right so that they meet in the corridor.

The funniest thing is how they both know the other is lying, but don't call each other on it at all and just play this game together.

Charles doesn't call Erik out on the fact that he's trying to leave and Erik doesn't even mention that Charles obviously tracked him with his telepathy and read his mind and intention. Charles also doesn't mention the fact that by now Erik surely knows the whole outline of the CIA base.

When Erik asks Charles where he's going he is legitimately amused and Charles starts smiling just before they both turn away to go back from where they came from.

Guhhh this movie got me baddd,,,,watched it for the first time with a couple friends last week and its all we’ve been talking about 😭😭

Charles loves it, imagining all kinds of shapes created by the little shiny spots and wondering if he can see any of the constellations he's heard about but never really cared enough to study or look for.

It's then that Erik comments about one of them and Charles admits that he doesn't really know much about astronomy. Erik shifts closer to him and points at the sky and then appreciates Charles' interested and delighted expression.

Apocalypse

Another painting from the “If Charles Dies in the Apocalypse” series. While creating it, I imagined Charles seeing his students and friends running toward him. He saw Jean's flames but couldn't see through Erik's helmet.
