Charles is protective in general, over everyone he cares about.
But with you, he is much more careful and even more cautious.
He knows that you are strong and can take care of yourself, but that does not stop him being afraid of you getting hurt, or killed.
On missions he always keeps a tab on you, whether it's through his mind, or always keeping an eye on you.
No matter how much he does not want you to fight, or enter a dangerous situation, he would never hinder you or force you to hide away.
Before you learned of his feelings towards you, you thought it odd that he seemed to watch over you more than most.
At first you thought it was because he did not think you as capable.
Once he figured out that you were thinking this, he decided to correct you, admitting his feelings and why he cares for your well being so much.
You were shocked, but in the best possible way, having had a crush on him since you had met.
Your relationship was built on a trusting foundation and you never doubted the other.
You knew how much Charles worried about you, so you always tried to be less reckless, if not only for his sake.
In the situations in which you get hurt, Charle becomes very soft and caring. Unless of course you had gotten hurt while being reckless, then he is more critical of you, telling you off about your decision.
Even if he is angry with how you handled something, and it led to you getting hurt. He was still gentle, behind his stern words would always be a gentle touch and a worried gaze.
Though he hates why he has to do it, he does enjoy taking care of you.
If you were injured he will check on your often, choosing to take care of your injuries himself (after the initial check up by Hank or someone more qualified).
If you ever get sick, he will become your own personal nurse, bringing you things you need, or making sure someone else can if he is not there.
When you are injured much worse than most occasions, Charles is heartbroken, he feels guilt of having brought you into the situation, and does everything he can to makes rue you make it.
And he gets angry. Angry at whoever or whatever hurt you, and if he can he will stop them from ever hurting anyone else.
When you are so hurt that you are unconscious, he does not sleep, and he stays nearby until you wake up. Always checking in on you, holding your hand and talking to you, often reading your favorite stories or poetry to you.
Hank ends up having to take care of both of you, to which you are the one to chastise Charles for once you wake up.
You are his world and he would do whatever he needed to to take care of you and protect you because he adores and loves you so much.
