So, Hank has known Pietro for, god, pretty much 20 years at this point, starting off of course with the Brotherhood, then being comrades on the Avengers, going through *gestures at all of that* - and, while he has immense respect for the growth that Pietro has gone through, and can absolutely appreciate that he's quite a handsome man in his own right, with sculpted cheekbones and quite the smile . . . there's still a part of him that does still see a little bit of Pietro's father when he looks at him. Juuuust a little bit of the man who Hank started his whole superhero thing off fighting, dodging missiles and all. He could grow to get over it, but it makes appreciating him as an attractive being - tricky, in ways, at least to start with.
personality:
grating / irritating / frustrating / boring / confusing at best / awkward / unreasonable / psychotic / disturbing / interesting / engaging / affectionate / aggressive / ambitious / anxious / artistic / bad tempered / bossy / charismatic / appealing / unappealing / creative / courageous / dependable / unreliable / unpredictable / predictable / devious / dim / extroverted / introverted / egotistical / gregarious / fabulous / impulsive / intelligent / sympathetic / talkative / up beat / peaceful / calming / badass / flexible.
Hank honestly does find Pietro frustrating and confusing on a base level, but if he peels things back and really thinks about it, he can very much understand why Pietro is the way he is - he knows exactly what it's like to live in a world where it feels like everyone else is going too slowly for your liking, even if the root causes of that are very different for them both. He also immensely respects his commitment to his loved ones (Hank adores Wanda, and has notably sided with trying to help or protect her whenever even Avengers or X-Men would do her harm) and believes he's trying to do the right thing, even if he doesn't always succeed . . . something else Hank's grown to sympathise with as he's grown older.
how likely they would have sex with them:
not if they were the last person on earth and the world was ending / fuck no! / never / no way / not likely / not sure / indifferent / Iβm asexual / maybe / probably / it depends / fairly likely / likely / yeah sure / yes / would tap that / hell yes / fuck yes! / wishing that could happen right now / as many times as possible / we are already having sex.
Honestly, a question that could go any which way! Hank's a pretty open minded fella, there's not many people he immediately thinks of as complete sexual no-zones (though the ones he does, they are NO-ZONES), though he's unlikely to make the first move. He honestly would never even think he's on Pietro's radar.
level of friendship:
never in a million years / worst of enemies / enemies / rivals / indifferent / neutral / acquaintance / friendly toward each other / casual friends / friends / good friends / best friends / fuck buddies / bosom buddies / practically the same person / would die for them / true friends / my only friend.
I can't think of a ton of direct interactions between them, but there's one I really love from classic Avengers after Pietro finds out he's going to be a dad that I always think about. Like, this is just fucking cute, and I have to think that Hank and Pietro must get along decently if he's willing to take a fairly strong pat on the back like that.
first impression of them:
i hate them so much / i donβt like them / i donβt trust them / they annoy me / theyβre weird / Iβm indifferent / meh / they seem alright / theyβre growing on me / truce / I think I like them / I like them / Iβm not sure if I trust them / I trust them / theyβre cool / theyβre genuine / I think weβre going to get along / I really like them / I think Iβm in love / oh fuck theyβre hot / I love them.
First impression was Brotherhood of Mutants, soooo, very much not a positive impression, and it took a while to clear up, since Scott was the first one to really get hints that Pietro and Wanda didn't want to be pulled into Magneto's madness with the whole Santo Marco debacle - even if he'd told Hank and co., it'd take a while for it to sink in. Plus, even when they were friendlier (e.g. the First Class comics), Pietro was still kind of an immature dink. :P
current impression of them:
i hate them so much / i donβt like them / i donβt trust them / they annoy me / theyβre weird / Iβm indifferent / meh / they seem alright / theyβre growing on me / truce / I think I like them / I like them / Iβm not sure if I trust them / I trust them / theyβre cool / theyβre genuine / I think weβre going to get along / I really like them / I think Iβm in love / oh fuck theyβre hot / I love them.
Again, last interaction I can think of is years ago, from maybe Children's Crusade or something off-panel during the pre-Fall of X Uncanny Avengers, but Hank's always respected Pietro's unwavering commitment to trying to be better, even if it doesn't. You know. Always work out that way.
