I know Magneto is Jewish, but I don't know if Pietro and Wanda are. I'm going to say Pietro is Jewish in this story.
And I believe Rahne is Catholic, right?
This chapter takes place during On Angel's Wings. Beast joined the X-Men and became a teacher. Scott already visited his little brother Alex.
Enjoy.
It was winter. Christmas wasn't too far away.
Pietro and Rahne were both wondering around Bayville. They both stayed in town because they were both orphans and wanted to spend the holidays together.
They went into the park and sat on a bench. Snow fell from the sky.
"Did you every celebrate Christmas with your family?" asked Rahne.
"No," said Pietro. "They Maximoffs were too poor, so we couldn't celebrate the holidays. And my father was Jewish, so we celebrate Jewish holidays like Hanukkah. But I haven't celebrate Hanukkah or practised my religion, prayed in a Temple, or even read the Torah in years."
"Sorry."
"It's fine. At least this year I get to celebrate Christmas with you."
Rahne smiled and moved closer to Pietro.
"What about you?" asked Pietro.
"Every Christmas, me and my dad would go to Church in the morning," said Rahne. "Even when he died I still went to Church and I prayed for him and my mom who died at child birth."
"Sorry about your mom."
"It's okay. My step mom would come with me. And we'd make a snowman. Oh, and on Christmas Eve, we'd each open one present."
"Christmas Eve. You don't mind opening one present a few days before, do you?"
"Hm?"
"I got your present right here. See, I found out that you were Catholic thanks to Daniels. He tried to talk me into leaving you alone. I think he said "Maximoff, you better leave Rahne alone. She's a good Catholic girl and you're the Devil." or something like at. That's how I got the idea to buy you this."
He retched in his coat and pulled out a flat box.
Pietro gave it to Rahne. She opened it and found a silver necklace. It was a silver chain with a silver cross. The cross wasn't dinky (small). It was about four inches tall.
"It's beautiful, Pietro," said Rahne. "I love it."
"Good. It's silver. That won't kill you, right? Ya know, with you being a werewolf and all."
"Shut up." She laughed and shoved him. "You can be such a jerk."
"And yet you still like me."
"I do."
"So," said Pietro. "Where's my present?"
Rahne looked at him.
"Just kidding. I know you don't have a present for me with you."
"No, I do. It's just. . . I was looking for your sisters on the Internet. I wanted you to be reunited with them to be your present."
Pietro stared at her with shock.
"Wow. Th-that's the nicest thing everyone has ever done for me."
"I'm sorry I wasn't able to find the."
"Hey, it's okay." Pietro took her hand in his. "You tried. That's good enough for me."
"I did get you something, though. It's not as great as your present to me."
"Whatever it is, I'll love it."
"Well, the X-Men always say how the Brotherhood is nothing but a gang of hoods who cause trouble and so on. And so I thought since you're a hood, you should has a Tuque and I thought you'd look good in one."
Rahne handed him a black tuque (a tuque is a skull cap) with a silver lightning bolt on it.
"I love it," said Pietro. "My head does get cold sometimes."
He put it on. A few strands of hair were over is forehead.
"How do I look?"
"Sex," said Rahne.
"I do, don't I," said Pietro.
"Hey, let's make a snowman."
"Sound like fun."
They rolled three balls till they were the right size. They stacked them up and went looking for pebbles and sticks.
When they finished, they moved back go get a good look at the snowman.
"It's prefect," said Rahne.
"Like you," said Pietro.
He kissed Rahne on her lips.
