Later in the same day:

As the day progressed, all Pietro could think of was Kurt. His lovely eyes and his cute smile. 'I'm so glad that we didn't get caught' he thought with a relief. He turned to leave his room when…

RING! RING! RING!

He looked at the caller ID, 'Damn, it's Tabitha' he flipped the earpiece on readying himself for the ear bashing of a lifetime.

"WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?!?" Tabitha screamed.

"I was busy, honey. You know how it is I had to see father, something about Pyro coming to stay."

"Well I called him but he said you weren't there, you were meeting a friend."

"Okay I'll be level with you I went out and got completely plastered. Happy."

"Yes immensely. Could you meet me tonight?"

"For you babe. Anytime. I'll pick you up around seven but only for an hour though I have an important assignment due."

"Okay. Pietro baby, see you later."

Click. Beeeeeep…

'That was a close one' he thought, 'I'd better call Kurt and arrange another night.'

One difficult phone call later, Pietro could finally relax. He trudged downstairs to the grime encrusted kitchen to see if any food had been left edible by Toad. The previous night the others had takeout which meant Toad didn't leave anything edible in the vicinity.

"Hey Toad! Did you actually leave any edible stuff to eat, all we have looks like shit!" he shouted picking up the ice cream tub from the freezer,

"That's because it is all shit." Toad replied, laughing as he walked in to find that Pietro was leaning against the sink gargling a serious amount of mouthwash.

"You Bastard!" he shouted running to grab Toad's neck, "what am I going to say to Tabitha when she tastes a mouth full of shit?"

"Tell her that you have been living in a zoo," Lance interjected before Toad could say any more, "it works with Kitty."

Pietro got up and walked past Toad and Lance without aiming a swift kick at Toad's head. He climbed the run down stairs into his room, where he knew that he could be alone. He opened the dingy wardrobe and chose what he was going to wear for that night.

A few hours later:

As dusk approached Pietro grabbed his keys and slammed the door shut, making Pyro jump as he was walking up the drive. Ignoring Pyro's protests he wrenched open the door to his Cadillac, and sped off to the Xavier institute, to pick up Tabitha.

Entering the mansion, and avoiding the glares from, Logan, he approached the steps leading up inside, where Kurt was sitting with a sketch pad. Kurt's and Pietro's eyes met, like they did when they first realised their love for each other. Kurt approached the car and said,

"So when's our next meeting?"

"I don't know, say Saturday. Just keep it down someone may hear."

"Okay."

It was a good thing that Tabitha had just opened the door and had cut the conversation short. She jumped into the car and they sped off through the gates. Kurt just stared glassy eyed at the fact that their love could not be open like theirs.
