->"It is a little bit of a mini-tragedy that him and Magneto don't, you know, have sex and become married and become best friends."
-->--'''Creator/JamesMcAvoy'''

* On the villainous side, [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Azazel and Riptide]]. Their pairing is just as popular as Azazel/Mystique.

* In a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wly1CHI86sA deleted scene,]] Charles projects Erik in drag (yes, you read that correctly) and remarks, "You've never looked more beautiful, darling." There are a million other things Charles could've conjured with his mind to make Angel giggle, and creating an image of his best friend in make-up, with a ginger wig, dressed in a sparkly blue miniskirt, fishnet stockings and go-go boots is, uh... [[CovertPervert unusually kinky]].

---> '''Charles:''' I'm like you, now close your mind.
---> '''Erik:''' I thought I was alone.
---> '''Charles:''' You're not alone. Erik, you're not alone.

* When they first meet, Charles hugs a drowning Erik in an attempt to calm him down.
* If you don't feel like reading this entire page, then you can watch the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9alZ4gsQ54 "Are They Gay? Professor X and Magneto"]] video instead.

* Historically, chess has been used as a metaphor for sex. Think about it.

** Oh, dear lord, Charles and Erik. Deep heart-to-heart talks, chess games, intimate mind-linking, Erik cradling Charles's injured body and trying to kill the person responsible, the list goes on. There were numerous reviews pointing out how their ''bromance'' could be read as a closeted homosexual relationship. This exchange at the end practically makes it canon:
--->'''Emma:''' Where's your telepath friend? \\

** Worthy mention: the sheer number of times these two [[ManlyTears cry for each other]].

--->'''Interviewer''': I know a lot of the fans loved in ''First Class'' the relationship between you and Mr. Fassbender, Charles and Erik, there was an intimate moment or two, there was a connection, do we finally get to see them kiss?\\

*** [[https://youtu.be/WuSUKg2uTvo?t=1m53s The same reporter then tried his luck with Fassbender.]]
---->'''Interviewer''': I know a lot of the fans [..] responded very well to the bromance, the masculine friendship, the intimacy that you shared with James [=McAvoy=] on the screen the last time. I asked him any chance of a kiss, and he seems willing if you're game.\\

** Erik, who has known Charles for only two days at this point, basically admits that he thinks Charles is cute when he calls him "an adorable lab rat." Seriously, when was the last time you saw Magneto playfully tease another male character in this manner?
** At the strip club, Charles and Erik are very comfortable ''lying in a bed together''. They spend half of the time [[http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk143/x_merlin/xmen%20MACROS/motivatorba4a8647643657c6956ee4ebd1bd1874f123e4f5.jpg looking into each other's eyes]] instead of the half-naked women.

[[CovertPervert unusually kinky]].
*** The "It's ''good'' isn't it?" just beforehand. Technically, he's talking about his telepathy, but really Charles, you do seem a bit too pleased with yourself.
** When Erik magnetizes himself to the hull of the Blackbird to protect Charles as the plane is spinning out of the control... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything well, their bodies are right on top of each other and they're both screaming, plus Charles is gripping very tightly to Erik's wrist...]]
** Erik ferociously barks, "I SAID BACK OFF!!!" to the youngsters like a predator who wants to defend its [[spoiler:wounded]] mate. If Charles was [[spoiler:indeed dying]], Erik would selfishly be the only one who could [[spoiler:say goodbye to him]]--even Raven (whom Magneto respects more than the other mutants present) isn't "allowed" to be near her foster brother.
** In the truck where Charles mentally renders his team invisible to the Soviet soldiers, Erik's hand is on the inside of his thigh.
** Just as Moira and her team are about to ditch Erik at the residence of the Soviet official after he becomes a security risk, Charles bluntly tells her, "I'm sorry, I can't leave him," and runs off after Erik.
** When they first meet, Charles hugs a drowning Erik in an attempt to calm him down.
** [[https://vimeo.com/47429850 The USA Network's commercial]] for ''First Class'''s Blu-Ray/DVD release includes this cheeky line: "Unfortunately, [Charles and Erik] working together to prevent nuclear Armageddon was not great for their relationship."
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X8B9rwnoYs ''First Class'' could've been marketed as a family comedy]] about two foster dads ([[TeamMom Charles]] and [[TeamDad Erik]]) trying to raise several rowdy teenagers, and it wouldn't be far from the truth.
** Historically, chess has been used as a metaphor for sex. Think about it.
** Darwin and Alex have their little moments. There is a scene where Darwin places his hand on Alex's stomach, and just a few seconds before [[spoiler:Darwin dies]], who does he reach out to? Alex.
** Hank and Alex is a pretty popular pairing in the fandom, too.
** On the villainous side, [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Azazel and Riptide]]. Their pairing is just as popular as Azazel/Mystique.
