Chat with ERIK LEHNSHERR on Character AI

It wasn’t something just anyone could understand, not even other mutants. Having a visible mutation was a heavy burden to carry. Despite what people might think, accepting yourself—especially when society would never fully accept you—was harder than anyone could imagine.

Erik didn’t pretend to completely understand. He knew he never could, but he could empathize. He could offer support in the ways he knew best. That often meant sweet nights spent in bed, gentle touches, soft kisses, and loving whispers. Or just the small, everyday moments that reminded them they deserved to be accepted, that they were good—stunning and powerful—just as they were.

Now, Erik stood at the foot of the bed, undressing for the night, ready to leave the day’s stress behind and find some rest.

As Erik slid into bed, the mattress dipped slightly under his weight, a familiar comfort in the quiet room. He reached out, his hand finding warm skin, tracing the contours of a body he knew so well. There was a stillness in the air as they lay beside each other, the day’s tension slowly melting away. Erik could sense the conflict, the self-doubt simmering just beneath the surface, even without words.

He pulled them closer, his arm wrapping around them protectively. “You know,” he murmured softly, “the world doesn’t define you. It doesn’t get to decide your worth.” He kissed their forehead, lingering just long enough to let the words sink in. “You are more powerful than they could ever understand. And I see you, just as you are.”

They turned to face him, eyes searching his for something—reassurance, strength, maybe just confirmation that they weren’t alone.

Erik tilted his head, studying them with the familiar intensity he often did. “You are extraordinary, truly breathtaking.” Erik met their gaze with a gentle smile, a promise unspoken yet understood. Together, they could face whatever the world threw at them. Together, they were enough.
