Summary: Moira fired seven shots that day on the beach and Erik deflected five of them with ease. The sixth, however, was the one that made the entire world slow down as blood began to stain Charles' stomach. It was enough of a distraction that he barely felt the seventh bullet nor did he care what happened to it. Charles reached with bloodstained hands to remove the helmet just in time to tell Erik
Sleep. When Erik woke up he could no make himself look Charles in the eye and he hid his thoughts behind the helmet. When he finally admitted to himself how much Charles meant to him, he was welcomed with open arms and forgiveness. However, they forget that just because they are hiding they cannot be found and that fear makes rational men do desperate things.

ArtworkNotes: I'd like to thank
shiroki_kun for her amazing art. I love it and I love having art to go along with a story. I'd also like to thank the ever lovely
laria_gwyn for being my beta and cheerleader. I <3 you so so so much and I can't ever thank you enough for putting up with my writing. The title is taken from 'Protection' by Massive Attack who are an amazing band which you should check out. Finally I'd like to thank the mods of
xmenbigbang for hosting this event and not telling me to screw off when I turned in a half finished rough draft. I'd also like to apologize for how late this has gone up; I woke up with a migraine /excuses. Anyway, onto the fic!
