"She loves you as much as she loves your sister, Pietro. And she is a practical woman... she's-- encouraged it. Us. If we want it." If they both want it. It's a complicated matter - he knows that, and he would rather not hurt their relationship as it is now.
That's all the okay Pietro needs, the reassurance that Heike is in support of them pursuing whatever it is between them. He undoes his seat belt easily and leans across the car, pressing a kiss to the alpha's lips, lingering for just a moment before he sits back in his seat.
He'd expected enthusiasm, but-- he hadn't quite expected the kiss so soon. He doesn't seem to mind at all, if the smile is anything to go by. It lingers on his lips as he reaches a hand across to take Pietro's.
"It has not been an easy feat, to keep my hands to myself." But he would have, had the alpha not seemed to reciprocate his feelings, had Heike been unwilling to share her husband with someone else. Pietro turns his own hand over so their fingers can lace together.
"I'm starting to." Pietro squeezes Zemo's fingers in his own, offering a soft smile to the alpha. The car smells of happy omega pheromones and Pietro does nothing to try and hide it; there's no need to now that he knows his feelings are reciprocated.
"Please don't?" He arches a curious eyebrow at the other man, watching him thoughtfully where he's sat. He looks happy... Zemo is definitely happy as well with this outcome.
“Please don’t keep your hands to yourself.” Pietro isn’t sure he could handle that now that he knows this is a possibility, that he could have this and no one would be hurt by its reality.
"You're forward, aren't you?" He lets out a laugh, not displeased with the revelation. Pietro has always been the playful sort after all.
"You will have to show me where you exactly you wish for me to keep my hands... once we're home, of course." He gives a teasing smile as he goes to turn the ignition, get them on the road.
"Would you prefer I wasn't?" He isn't sure he couldn't be if he tried now that he knows he's allowed to be.
"I will gladly show you where I want your hands." He almost wants to pout at having to wait but it'll be well worth it and for now he at least gets to spend time with the alpha.
"I never said that." He gives a soft laugh. "I rather like how you say what you want."
It isn't as if he couldn't guess it, himself, but there's something appealing about Pietro saying what he wants, the flirtation.
There's a quiet laugh as he focuses on the road and driving, even if the omega to his side is a rather distracting thing at the moment. "I look forward to it."
“Good to know.” Pietro had never been known for keeping his mouth shut -the only time having been not voicing his desire for the alpha until he got the okay to- so he’ll have no problem telling Helmut exactly what he wants from him.
Pietro has the good sense to put his seat belt back on as they pull out of the carport but he continues facing the alpha. “Will you tell me what you want in return?”
"I doubt you will find any lack of enthusiasm from me, Pietro." And certainly no lack of appreciation, when they finally have a proper moment to themselves.
"Perhaps it's a bit of both, depending on what you plan to do."
"I look forward to it." Pietro had never been with an alpha before, untrusting of them and unwilling to put himself in a position where he could have been forcibly bonded. He wonders, for a brief moment, if that's something that Helmut would want with him, if Heike would be okay with it, but he doesn't dwell on the thought. This is so incredibly new and that's definitely several steps down the line.
"Have you ever been with an alpha at all?" He questions after a moment. He doesn't need details exactly, but he is curious. Either way, he plans to take things as slow as possible... this is new ground for all of them and he'd rather be careful than risk hurting anyone.
"No. I've never trusted one enough." And didn't that speak volumes about what Helmut meant to him? About how safe the alpha made him feel and about how much he cared. "And then I met one who I knew was the one I wanted. But he was married and I wasn't sure I was allowed to want, until today."
There's a softer smile that graces his lips at that. "I'm flattered that you would trust me so much."
He has never intended to betray that trust, to make either of the twins feel uncomfortable. He shrugs his shoulders absently. "It wasn't-- planned when you came to live with us. But you know Heike. She is smart, quick to pick up on things... perhaps even before I did in this case."
Or perhaps he'd been in Pietro's position, trying to push down on things he wasn't certain could work or be allowed.
"You have proven time and again that that trust isn't misplaced, Helmut. When we needed somebody to care, you were there." Pietro reaches out to place a hand on Zemo's thigh, squeezing gently.
Chuckling softly, Pietro ducks his head. "I would not be surprised if she had seen it first. From both of us. She is an amazing woman." Far more than Pietro deserved, probably and he'd forever be grateful for her.
“Guess that says a lot about your taste. You chose us all.” Which was also true. He’d invited the twins in, he’d been smart enough to marry Heike. Oeznick had been hired by him.
"Ah, you flatter me." He lets out a quiet laugh, warm and affectionate. "You have all found me in your own ways. I simply recognized how remarkable all of you were."

"You will hear no argument from me," he agrees. "But then, I am blessed with rather amazing people in my home."
