(OP)

Yeah, from what I can tell Professor X/Magneto is the one slash pairing even a lot of dudebro comics nerds admit would make sense/should be canon. The reason I specified the movies is because it feels like the cast and crew of (especially) the new movies have gone all out talking about what a love story it is, like you said. McAvoy constantly brings it up, the behind the scenes documentary on the First Class DVD has one of the screenwriters talking about how Hank/Raven (which is explicitly framed as romantic) is the B-side story to Charles/Erik, and now you have Kinberg who wrote the DOFP screenplay saying:

“If First Class was Erik’s story and Days Of Future Past is Charles’s story, then Apocalypse will be both of their stories. The first movie was about Erik becoming empowered. That’s the origin story of a man’s power. Days Of Future Past is about a guy who is a mess, masterminding the end of this massive movie. So they are both at their peak powers at the start of Apocalypse, so Apocalypse for me is culmination of that three-act love story.”

And it's just like, come on, guys, clearly everyone on that team would be up for it, just do it. Though I know that, realistically, an alternate universe comic where Charles and Erik are/get together would still be more likely than that (for a relative value of "likely" when talking about things that will never happen).
