Despite being well versed in political matters, Dread Wing still found himself extremely nervous as he got ready to broach what was likely one of the most important conversations of his life.
Approaching his target carefully, the mutant King tried to think of what to say to start the conversation. However, the other opened it instead, looking up and asking, "Was there something you needed, Dread?"
The mutant almost shook his head but stopped himself and finally said the words he needed to, "Peak, I believe we need to talk."
The teen lowered the book he'd been reading, curiosity on his face, "Talk about what?"
Dread sat down next to the human, keeping his gaze on Peak's face, "Make no mistake about this, I love that we've had so much time together lately, but why won't you return home? Have you even called your family the whole time you've been here in Warnado?"
Peak had in fact been living with Dread in Warnado for a week straight now, which as he'd said, Dread had loved but something about the situation didn't feel right. The fact that Peak looked away told him that he'd been right to be suspicious.
The blond mumbled, "Is it a problem, me being here?"
Dread reassured him, "No, it's not. But I am worried about you. Please, if there's something wrong, I can try to help."
Peak shifted uncomfortably on the couch, "It's...it's not my family, if that's what you were worried about."
He fell quiet again, making Dread have to prompt him, "Then what is it?"
Peak sighed and looked up at him, putting the book away to reach for Dread's hands, "Promise me you won't be mad?"
Confused, Dread Wing cautiously nodded, "I promise."
His human looked nervous but finally told him, "It's, um, there's still some anti-mutant sentiment on Airlandis and...well, I kinda got fed up with it all. Father and my siblings don't seem to do much about it outside of Council meetings and I got tired of being told to ignore it all the time."
Peak fell silent again and Dread just knew instinctively that there was more. But before he could say anything to get Peak to continue on, the human did something surprising. The teenager moved quickly to sit himself on Dread's legs, still holding onto the mutant's hands as he did so.
He'd essentially pinned the mutant in, for Dread wouldn't be able to get up now without moving Peak first. Once he was sure of his position, Peak leaned in and whispered the rest into Dread's ear, wincing as the mutant's grip suddenly tightened on his hands.
Leaning back, he gave his boyfriend a weak smile, "Besides, I am keeping in contact with my family...sort of. I send Summit text messages everyday and I called Dram yesterday."
Dread mentally grabbed his anger by the throat and flung it down, pinning it under a restraint he'd spent years strengthening. Returning Peak's smile, he made himself calmly say, "Ah, that is good. Now how about we go to Ai-"
Peak cut him off with a kiss, leaning in to keep his body close to Dread's, another method to make sure the mutant couldn't move easily. Dread Wing gave in, returning the kiss softly even as he plotted revenge for a later date.
