The Start To Another Day

by magnusman

Summary:

Charles Xavier is a brillant professor at the Columbia University in New York, but is also a stressed out single parent that always has too much on his plate. He worries over too much and has sworn off relationships for over three years now, not that he has the time to dedicate to another person in his life. He tries to get by as best he can with what he has, but what he has truly isn’t enough.

Erik Lehnsherr is a happy-go-lucky man who practically runs the local community center for mutants. He adores his work and loves children, making his job something out of his dreams. He would love a family one day, but he believes that’s a bit far in his future. But, even though he is very happy, his job is the only reason for his happiness. He needs more than his work.

These two men influence the lives of many, but will the lives of many ever lead them back to one another?
