Jeez, I went over this today, and saw that I said feedbacks. Feedbacks? Oops…I went over this over and over for mistakes…damn it. Well I'll find everything this time so read on.

I don't own the X-Men, the Acolytes, the Brotherhood, anybody. But I wish I did. And I didn't get Kurt for Christmas…L oh well…my b-day is in two months…LOL.

After we all had dinner, and avoided Kitty's food, I helped with the dishes. I wanted to make it like a family thing. Families help out each other, right? Well I did anyway. So, Rogue and I stood and dried the dishes and chatted. She had a lot to talk about. Her life before the professor, her family that wasn't the best, and what it was like on a day to day basis here at the house. School, she said, was sometimes horrible, with all of the mutant haters that were the students and teachers. But it was a nice school all together. I told her about my life in Maryland, what school was like, how I was treated by my parents, and then compared it to her life. Hers was a lot better, and we both agreed.

Later, some of the boys were putting on a movie, so we went to watch. Ray and Bobby went running past as we entered the living room, we had to duck as we did. They were shooting electricity and ice at each other, and their aim wasn't that good. But I think that everybody made it in there without harm. That's kind of an odd thing to say when all you're doing is trying to get into the living room. But kinda funny too. We were watching "Fallen Space Creatures From Mars!" Sam said as spookily as a cotton ball. He didn't sound amused. Guess he doesn't like horror. I like it though, and the others did too, cause they all were excited. The popcorn and chips that were left out, well, they were gone before the movie started.

The movie wasn't really what I expected, so I left in the middle of it and decide to go up to my room. Rogue wanted to stay and watch the movie, so I went alone. Before I went up, I noticed that the front door was slightly ajar. I slowly walked over and began to close it. All of a sudden, a wind came up, and I was whisked off my feet. "Hey! What's going on!?" I called out in fright. I was moving really fast down the road, over the gate, down the scenic road, then I just stopped at the Brotherhood house. "Pietro?"

"Hey Madison. How's it going at the geek house?"

"Holy shit, let me catch my breath. You could have at least warned me that you would do that. I was scared out of my mind!" He shrugged and pulled me into the house. "So, how is it at the house?" I shrugged this time, "It's nice. Rogue and I are kinda friends I guess."

"Ah, she isn't friend material."

"Yeah she is. We're a lot alike and we can talk about anything. It's nice." He led me to the clean couch and sat, then patted the cushion next to him, and I sat down. "I figured everybody would try to make it nice for you after you went back. They'll do that."

"Yeah, the professor bribed everybody into being nice to me. I'm really pissed, but I don't want to do anything that will piss anybody else off." I laughed and sat back, "Oh well, I can be the only pissed on in that house. Besides Logan, I think he always is."

"Yeah well, I wouldn't know. But I have a question for you Madison."

"Alright. Shoot."

"Whatdidyakissmefortheotherday?" he said as quick as he could run. "Um, you're gonna have to say that again. Slowly please." He blushed and shook his head. "Never mind."

"No, tell me! Come on, I wanna know. I need to know cause if I don't, it'll bug me for the rest of the night. Please…" I smiled at him and he grinned, then sighed. "I just wanted to know why you kissed me the other night. That's all." Oh! Jeez…I don't know.

"I don't know Pietro. I just did I guess. I really wasn't thinking much."

"Oh. I just wanted to know. I was kinda confused after you left."

"Me too actually." we both laughed and then fell silent again. This was one of those awkward silence things you here about from other people, but you always thought was dumb and would never happen to you. Pietro was being weird for what I saw the day I was here. He was…calm and I think embarrassed a bit. Or frightened of being around me. Like some guys get around girls and visa versa.

"Ok, well I better get home Pietro. I'm really tired, and I think I heard that we have a training session tomorrow morning." I said breaking the silence. "Oh, alright. I'll see ya a round then," he said smiling small. We sat there pondering what to do, stand up and look weird, or sit there and be weird. Then Pietro leaned over and kissed me. It was a long, almost passionate kiss, but a nice one all together. I didn't pull away, or slap him, or anything anybody else would do, I just let it take it's course. He smiled afterward, and so did I. "See you later Pietro," I said quietly. I blushed, which I think put color into my cheeks, and then ported home. Thinking the whole way, how much I liked that kiss.

Hehe I liked that ending kinda… and yeah, I know, that doesn't really sound like the way Pietro would talk does it? Oh well, it's kinda fun to see him toned down a bit. Like less uptight and controlling and bossy and all that crap. LOL. Well I really hope you enjoyed that. I'm working on longer chapters…sorry these are kinda short…well see ya next chapter.
