A few minutes across the ocean brought them to french soil, but Pietro kept running until they'd reached a sweets shop. "Thank for flying with Quicksilver, please keep your eyes and lips on the boyfriend at all times, and welcome to France." He finished with an arrogant grin as he set her down.

Tabitha opened her eyes slowly and glanced around; they'd made it. Paris was beautiful from what she could tell by the small area they were in. There were a lot of shops, the closest one being a sweets shop. But before she could really take in anything else, Pietro spoke up and she turned her attention back to him, a smile on her face.
Tabitha rolled her eyes as he set her down. "You're impossible." She told him with an amused expression on her face.
"So, what first?" Tabby asked excitedly, grabbing his hand as she looked around again. There was so much to do and see in this city, that they could never manage it in a day; although she doubted they were there for sightseeing. "I'm kinda hungry." She informed him as she looked at him again, not giving him any time to answer.

"I try." Pietro replied and took a quick glance around. "All the way to France... I'm good." He muttered and looked over at the sweets shop. "There." He decided, grin stuck in place. It wasn't often that Pietro had the opportunity to test his powers or advance them in any way, but carrying someone all the way to France had to be up there with good. Even Magneto might have been impressed with his son, but telling his father about his new found limits was the last thing on Pietro's mind.
"Hey, speaking of sweets, did you eat any of my chocolate?" The speed demon questioned as he headed toward the shop. A few chocolates had gone missing and he couldn't think of any reason the brotherhood boys would have gone through his drawers.

Tabitha heard him and nodded slightly; it was pretty impressive that he could manage running to France on his own, let alone with someone in his arms. However, letting him know that would probably only increase his already inflated ego; and no one needed that.
She grinned when Pietro pointed at the sweet shop, then started off in that direction with him. He then mentioned something about chocolates and she was quiet for a few seconds, thinking. It didn't take long for her to figure out what he was talking about, though; it was the day her and Betsy raided the Brotherhood looking for Lance's keys.
"I plead the fifth." Tabby declared as they approached the shop. It was fairly obvious she was behind it; but hey, innocent until proven guilty, right?

Tabitha didn't agree with him, but any egotistical thing that come from Pietro's mouth was a statement rather than a question and therefore he didn't acknowledge her lack of appreciation.
"Then I'll have to buy you some of your own." He decided and glanced over at building for a second. He had meant to give her some the night he'd found her on the balcony, but other events had changed that idea. Though he'd left them there she had returned them... and once again a Tabby event got in the way of eating them. The name-calling followed by a make out session had been better than the previous yelling match, but it still meant lack of chocolate.
"Uh, Tabs I'm sorry about the other night. After I caught you from the balcony... I don't know what..." He trailed off and coughed slightly to clear his throat. 'No' was the issue, he knew that. Anyone saying no was an issue, and a relationship came along with the occasional 'No' or 'Slow down' when you liked at it like he did. He had apologized... and now he had to figure out exactly what he was apologizing for.

Tabitha glanced at Pietro when he said he'd buy her some chocolates. It was a nice gesture; something she wasn't really used to. And to her that meant a lot, especially since she knew he didn't really have the money. In fact, she wasn't sure he had any at all; she knew she didn't.
It was quiet for a minute as she tried to think of something to say, but he beat her to it. Tabby was slightly surprised that he brought up the other night again, and that he was actually apologizing; it must have really been bothering him. And though she wasn't sure exactly why, she did have an idea.
Tabitha looked away, trying to remember the events of that night. It hadn't been that huge of a shock when he kissed her, but there was still a reason she tried to pull away. It was nothing personal...he was just moving too fast. Although considering who she was dealing with, it really shouldn't have surprised her.
"Don't." Tabby finally said, quietly, as she stared at the ground. He really didn't need to apologize, she was perfectly fine was just letting the whole thing go. However, Pietro seemed to be bothered by something, so she doubted he was just going to drop it.

"Tabs, apologies aren't my strong suit, just lemme finish this one." Pietro said with a strained smile. "I'm sorry I flipped out on you when you said stop. If anyone should have taken off it was you, and I'm sorry I just left you there. I don't want you to be scared around me that suddenly I'm gonna do something you aren't okay with. It won't happen again, lemme make it up to." He finished in a somewhat calm voice before stepping infront of her to give her a gentle kiss.
"With chocolate." He added and pulled out a twenty with a smirk. "Snatched it off one of the cheerleaders earlier, c'mon." He explained and turned back in the direction of the sweets shop as if nothing had happened.

((OOC: *blinks* I don't know how to respond to that...Haha.))
Tabby was quiet as he spoke, eyes glued to the ground. This was definitely a side of Pietro she'd never seen before; and for some reason, that scared her. It may have been because he really seemed to be trying; she wasn't used to that.
"I-" Was all she managed to get out before he kissed her. "Pie, I..." Tabby was having trouble coming up with something to say.
So, since she coudn't think of anything to say, she decided to let her actions speak for themselves. She smirked, then grabbed his shirt, spinning him back around and kissing him; although, not as gently as he had.

Pietro found himself spinning midstep, with a hand no his shirt and the next thing he knew Tabby's lips were on his, not that he had a problem with this. He'd apologized and they didn't have to have a huge discussion on this, perhaps this was her acceptance of his apology. He wanted to just drift off into the kiss as it seemed Tabitha sometimes did, but it wasn't the arrogant/in control thing to do. So he kissed her back just as passionatly as she had kissed him and came out of the kiss with his trademark smirk back in place.
"Perhaps these apologies aren't so over rated." The white-haired speed demon said quietly, observing Tabby with a somewhat affectionate look. He would have zipped into the chocolate store to buy the stuff and then zipped off with Tabby, but he didn't really want to move from the spot.

Tabby rolled her eyes, but there was a smile on her face nonetheless. "Come on." She laughed, taking his hand again and dragging him off toward the shop. They entered quietly, looking around at all the sweets. There was so much to chose from, that she wasn't sure she could possibly pick.
"What looks good to you?" Tabby asked, pulling her eyes away from the chocolates to look at him. It really didn't matter to her what they bought; chocolate was chocolate, after all.
