Carter
Marvel Comics (AU)
extrasensory_problems
A fellow mutant telepath. The two met when David first arrived, sharing quiet talks on mutantdom and identity and connections. August was more of a weighty month for the two, David finding Carter before he got the courage to find Jean-Paul. Their conversation covered a lot of things fucked up in David's life as an ImPort, and David found someone who would hug him and comfort him through his tears. David isn't going to throw around the term 'best friend in this world' so easily, but damn Carter's stolen the title anyway. They are finding a friend equilibrium and David is thankful for that, with the two talking about a band and David teasing Carter over the guy's crush on She-Hulk. Perhaps in time David can admit to real vulnerability he feels to the guy and through that start to truly learn how to heal. In the mean time, he might ask a less mean telepath to help him practice his shielding. He's started doing music with Carter, and is impressed at the guy's mental shields, but has learned the guy is a bit like him in that he's more interested in men that are trainwrecks. They hung out at a concert in October and were very close, affectionate, and laughing about things. Kyle was certain the two were dating, which both deny. Carter was a bit weirded out by David sleeping with Jean-Paul. The two spoke about David's loss of his memories, and Carter offered to be an anchor. The two met again that evening and they cuddled up together under blankets. They're now getting matching PJs. Carter admitted he doesn't want to go home, and he doesn't want to lose David and Kyle. All David could do was embrace him. He has, though, suggested that David should talk to Hawks.
