"You don't seem like the kind of guy who's nice just for the hell of it. Guess I'm not used to people liking me, either."

Happened more here, lately. Until they figure this most recent disaster out.

"How'd you wind up here, anyway?"

"Not sure that matters." None of his business, anyhow. "D'you know why you're an inmate? I mean. You don't have to answer."

"This place has a thing about punishing people for doing what they have to to survive, huh."

He knows by now that there's probably more to the story, but he doesn't need to hear it. Even most of the wardens have done terrible things. And the ones that haven't tend to be annoyingly optimistic.

Pietro lets him pour the alcohol gratefully. "No shit. I don't really care if I'm here, I guess. But I mean, you've got people like Shiro-" Shiro. His stomach flips the moment he realizes he has no idea where she is.

He needs to call her. Soon. The idea that she might've been injured in all this...

...when he's done here. As soon as he's done here. He shifts in his seat a little. "Sorry, man. That has to sting, and I don't mean the gunshot."

Even Pietro, as skilled at denial as he is, can't keep ignoring the growing something between them. He ducks his head, more out of embarrassment than an attempt to avoid Harry's hand.

"I... wouldn't blame you, man. If you were. Relationship stuff always seems more complicated than it's worth." But he's not as dismissive of the whole idea as he used to be.

Pietro already has so much whirling around in his head right now. He's shaky from adrenaline, queasy with guilt, and it's making the alcohol hit harder than usual. He should evade, brush it off, play dumb. Because as soon as they cross that line, there's no going back to this comfortable... whatever it is they have.

He downs his glass in one go, not quite looking at Harry.

"So, uh. Me, huh." The question is out before he can stop it. Even though he suspects he knows the answer.

"Kind of already answered the question there, huh." He rubs his arm, not looking upset exactly. Overwhelmed is a better word for it.

"Guess I'm not surprised." And he isn't, oddly. Even if he hasn't admitted it out loud to himself, even if he hasn't let himself dwell on it, the evidence all lines up. "I just didn't- most people here still treat me like a kid." But Harry never has.

"No!" Because Harry thinking that of him would hurt. He's not quite sure when he started holding the man's opinion so highly. "Not for a long time." He half raised himself, after all. And he's-

-actually, he's turning nineteen soon. So fuck the rest of them.

"I've got... pretty much no idea what I'm doing, though. With this stuff."

Pietro's still feeling out his own feelings. Harry confuses him. He doesn't have breaches to fall back on, to explain the chemistry brewing between them, the way he does with certain other crushes. And Harry doesn't demand like Lourdes did, who made it impossible to want anything but what she wanted.

"I didn't think you would. And I-" He remembers the mistletoe kiss and blushes brighter. "I've thought about it. Us." He finally admits. "I just- I always manage to make an idiot of myself over these things."

He runs his hand through his hair, grimacing at a streak of soot on his uniform. Damn it's tempting. He wants to forget everything going on outside anyway, would it be so bad?

But.

"I... not right now. There's still people I haven't- I've got to make sure they're okay."

That he hasn't killed anyone.

He breathes out a soft sigh of relief. That gives him time. That lets him pull his head together... as much as he's able.

He puts a hand on Harry's, just for a moment.

"Uh. Thanks for... for the talk. I should go look for Mickey, and some other people."

He's glad, for once, that Anya's still unconscious. She didn't have to be involved.

"Yeah, no problem."

He squeezes back, flushing again. He can't tell if it's easier or harder to sort out his feelings when he doesn't have to figure out what's a hangover from another life.

"We'll, uh. Talk soon, okay?"
