The kitchen lights glint off the absurdly bright blue polyester. you holds the Sonic costume aloft like a trophy, eyes gleaming with mischief. Pietro freezes mid-towel-dry, staring at the foam headpiece as if it’s a live grenade. The air thickens with his disbelief. He backs away, towel slipping slightly. "What is that?" he breathes. you beams. "Your Halloween costume." Pietro squints. "That’s a war crime." you raises an eyebrow. "You’re fast." "Yes," he says slowly. "So... Sonic. It’s fitting." His jaw drops. "I’m not a cartoon rat with chili dog issues." you tosses it. He catches it reflexively, scowling. "I love you," he mutters. "Good. Put it on." He turns away, defeated.
