Pietro's pov:
"Forget you saw me here"
She sped away before he could say anything.
Forget?
How the hell was he supposed to forget?
Pietro walked back into the kitchen, completely forgetting about his plan to rinse off his hand. He didn't even notice as he sat down and Wanda began talking to him. She snapped her fingers in front of his face and he blinked at her.
"Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost"
Well, not a ghost per say but...
"I'm fine, I'm actually not that hungry, I think I'll just go up to bed"
Wanda looked like she was about to question him but he stood up and walked out of the room before she had the chance.
He had so many questions.
Did the others know?
How did it happen?
Why didn't she like blood?
What even was she?
Pietro found himself outside a bedroom. It wasn't his, it was Raven's. He had questions, and she would have the answers.
Raven wiped her mouth on her sleeve, although it just made the blood that was dripping from her mouth smear across her face. Hopefully, the Avengers would be asleep by now. She had no idea how she could ever look at Pietro the same way. Sure, she had made him forget, but the look on his face when he had seen-
He hadn't seemed scared which had surprised her but still. She never wanted to see that look again.
She quietly closed her bedroom door behind her and let out a deep breath. She had made it all the way to her room without meeting anyone. She shrugged off the jacket she had been wearing and began walking toward her bathroom.
She stopped dead in her tracks.
There was someone on her bed...
She turned slowly only to look directly into the eyes of Pietro Maximoff. She was holding the bird stuffed animal he had gotten her. He shook off its wings to imitate the bird waving.
"I was starting to think you weren't even gonna come back," He said.
Raven was stunned. What was he doing here?
"What are you doing in my room?" She asked cautiously.
She had nothing to worry about
She had made him forget
...right?
"I have some questions," He said simply, that was definitely not the answer Raven had wanted.
"About?"
Raven was silently hoping with all her might-
Please don't say it
Please don't say it
Please don't say it
Please don't say it
"You're face"
Well... he said it.
"Well... that's a little rude" she added an airy unsure laugh at the end but Pietro just shrugged so she became serious again.
"I don't know what you're talking abou-"
"Stop lying, you know exactly what I'm talking about" His voice was free from any doubt.
Had she messed up the mind compulsion?
"Pietro you're tired, I think you should-"
He sped off the bed only to stand in front of her... his face, inches away from hers.
"I know what I saw," He said quietly, his blue eyes searching flicking between her brown ones.
He brought a hand up and traced the skin under her eyes, where the veins had been. She didn't stop him this time. She was too caught up in her own thoughts.
How?
How the hell did he remember?
She had specifically told him to forget-
Then Raven realized.
Pietro had gotten his powers from the mind stone... of course, he couldn't be compelled.
This situation just got incredibly more awkward. If she couldn't force him to forget then-
What the hell was she supposed to do?
"What does it mean?" he asked softly.
Pietro noticed the worry in her eyes. His hand fell back down to his side and he took a step back.
"What does it mean?" he repeated softly. He wanted answers, but he wasn't going to force her to give them if she didn't want to.
She seemed to think for a moment before turning so that her back was to him. For a second, Pietro really thought she was just going to walk away. She turned back around to face him however, only this time, she had red eyes with weird veins running under them.
Pietro wasn't scared, although he probably should have been. The only thing he felt was curiosity, if Raven hadn't hurt him until now, then she wasn't going to hurt him... right?
Raven frowned, part of her had wanted him to be scared, to run, screaming, out of her room. But he just stood there, looking at her face with a curious look. After a moment, her eyes turned brown once more and the veins disappeared. She had been testing him, to see how he would react. He was ready to know the truth, well... she didn't actually know if he was ready but he had already seen her face so she might as well just tell him.
"I'm a vampire," She said quietly.
"I'm a vampire," she said, so quietly that Pietro barely heard it, but he did.
A vampire?
Those were real?
He had heard stories of vampires when he was a kid. Those monsters that drank the human blood of anyone they came across and looked like Dracula. But here stood Raven. Looking... dare he say beautiful? As always. He had been standing here with her for about ten minutes now and she had not once tried to eat him.
Pietro now wore a very serious expression and Raven prepared herself for whatever he was about to throw at her.
"What do you get when you mix a vampire and a snowman?" He asked, letting a small grin settle on his face.
Was he being serious?
Was he actually about to-?
"Frostbite," he said, biting his lip to keep in his laugh.
Raven deadpanned. She had just told him she was a blood-sucking little monster and here he was... making jokes???
"I- what?" She was completely confused but that didn't stop him as he grinned wider.
"How do you say goodbye to a vampire?"
This dude-
"See ya later sucker"
Pietro laughed at the look of complete bewilderment on her face. Clearly, she had not been expecting this but Pietro was a God at making jokes, and what better time to make a vampire joke than when Raven just confessed to being a vampire.
Sure, he was still a little shocked himself but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Speed, strength, hearing, the blood...
Pietro quickly put his left hand behind his back, he now knew it was what made her uncomfortable. Although it was properly wrapped now. Pietro had looked around her room a little while he had waited and he found a first aid kit.
Raven sighed.
"What did the others going to say-"
"I didn't tell them"
Raven was confused by this. She had expected him to tell his team what he had seen.
"I wanted answers first" He explained and she nodded.
From now on she would have to be very careful when it came to Pietro Maximoff.
