Pietro had come to understand this new side of himself but there were things he longed for in their little home. He didn’t mind the City life so much but it was easier living with Kate spreading his wings trying to find himself though he knew part of him would always feel the connection between Wanda and himself. His sister was his world and that was something that would never change but he liked taking a moment to himself to figure out what he could do to protect those he loved. “Aww come on Professor no one can pull one over your eyes’’ he teased back looking at the other nodding his head “I’d like to try, Wanda’s power has grown so much since my time away…I wanted to be the best I can so I can properly protect those I love.” He said determined to ensure that he could protect them better than he had so many years ago. He laughed, shaking his head “I don’t know, I think from what I’ve heard Logan would be fun to mess with, especially given my mutation” He teased.
Pietro had always wanted a pet of his own growing up but they could never truly afford it, given they could barely feed each other so he pushed the want down in favor of more important. “Oh Yeah? Well, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind marrying you again” He smirked looking at the other before shrugging his shoulders “Well Erik doesn’t talk a lot about his past, I bet that type of dog would fit better in his life anyhow.” He mused knowing his father probably had plenty of PTSD when it came to certain things. “Awww that’s so cute, I bet he will be really surprised.” he replied before nodding his head “you got it, Charles, I’ll offer you all the help I possibly can no worries.”
All Charles could do is laugh softly at Pietro’s somewhat innocence naive mind on how many times he’s had something pulled over his eyes. “If only that was the truth,” Charles’ chuckle faded out. He only smiled up at the mutant, offering him his hand to take in his own. “You’ll get faster in due time, Pie. But you cannot rush it as much as you’d like. Speaking of love ones, how is the young hawk?” Giving Pietro’s hand, light squeeze to let him know he’s doing a good job in a sense. Understanding the need to keep everyone safe as it was the same need Charles has in his own life, dropping his hand as he spoke and shaking his head at him. “Please, I don’t need the headache that would come from you and your father tag teaming poor Logan... because I’ll be the one that suffers and I’ll assure you, it’ll be ten times worse then what I am like in the mornings.” He teased back.
Charles knew the breeder of the dogs had other animals for sale and he’d let Pietro choose whatever one he wants and Charles would pay for the animal’s living - however, it’ll be up to Pietro to do the hard yards of taking care of it which he knows the boy will. “Yeah - he better, it’ll be nice to have you kids around would it not? Join in the celebration together as whole - uniting together.” He said, it had been a long wait on Charles’ part to even be back at this stage of his life, to think of the future with Erik, it all felt a bit like a dream. “Have you made the time to weasel your way into asking about his past? Here’s hoping or you might get a dog.” He merely teased, lightly. “You sure? You have nothing better to do with your day then to hang out with me and bunch of puppies.” He laughed.
