[it's one of her few forays into affection, especially the verbal kind. affection... isn't something she does. like everything she tries her hand at, she proves to be inept and terrible at it. so she tries it very rarely. besides her naturally closed-off personality and slight awkwardness with it, her message of "i like you, do you like me? y/n/m?" tends to fall flat with others. like always.

but she's trying with charles. britta likes him. he's a great person and a terrific friend, and she wants to tell him that. he's one of the few people she feels safe around and she doesn't feel the need to have her guard up twenty-four, seven. even if it does fall flat, hopefully he'll understand the gesture and not be put off by it.

so, very awkwardly and hesitantly;] uh, you're one of the few people that believe in me and don't think i'm very horrible. so... thank you. [britta looks away, her arms folded across her chest like a shield.]

why is baby britta so adorable :c

[ internally, charles fairly melts with appreciation. but years of friendship with people like tony stark and erik lensherr have taught him the value of a more subtle approach. if her uncharacteristic hesitation didn't give her away, certainly her body language would. she looks like she's being cornered, and he hasn't even said anything yet. so instead of reacting as he might with christine or raven, charles limits himself to a smile (albeit a wide one). ]

You're welcome. It's easy to believe in someone who believes in so much. If you make people uncomfortable with the strength of your conviction, well, perhaps a little discomfort is necessary.

why is baby charles so adorable ;;

[her shoulders sag a little from relief and her lips quirk into a small smile, although her guard remains a bit up. just in case things go south. which tends to happen all the time.]

see, you make everything i do sound logical. that's great. [while her intentions are good, britta's ultimately driven by irrationality, rebelliousness, and ridiculousness, and she gets carried away with it. when a normal person receives an order, they comply; britta, on the other hand, not only does not do it, she does the complete opposite of it.

because fuck the "why?"

whether it's natural teenage rebellion, an extreme reaction to a strict home-life, or wanting to stand out and be different, britta's day isn't complete without knocking the literal or metaphorical glass over. and it doesn't take the scathing remarks of tony stark or the unusual punishments of nick fury to reign her in, but sometimes it takes the calm, soothing words of charles xavier. he's like the big brother she's never had. well, she has two, but they're dickheads so shhhh.]
