peter maximoff is the sober friend at parties.
he doesn't like to drink because it slows him down too much. scribe is introverted so she'll hardly drink without a reason to, but when it comes to social gatherings, she won't hesitate to have a few glasses of wine. she loses all sense of self doubt and becomes exceptionally confident, which means that she won't hesitate to fight anyone who tests her or her friendsโand this is, of course, something which peter doesn't particularly want her to do.
in fact, most of a night in which scribe and the x-men are drinking would likely consist of peter being the 'sober friend', i.e. making sure his friends don't get hurt; that they don't make dumb decisions; that scribe doesn't either embarrass herself or injure herself or try to fight a dog that's looking at her weirdly, of all things; that scott doesn't impulsively take his glasses of with the promise of no, guys, look, i can control it, see look, and then he can't control it and he sears another tree in half.
peter doesn't mind being the sober friend, either. he gets to see kurt, beaming and purple-cheeked, as he teaches all their friends german words and phrases (albeit while slurring his words); he gets to see jean actually let loose; he gets to see jubilee come out of her shell; he gets to spend time with his friends; take care of his girl; make sure no creeps are picking on her at the bar...
oh, and seeing scott summers drunk? remembering scott summer drunk? being able to use that as blackmail and tease him about it the next dayโor, realistically, for the rest of the week?
worth it. worth it every time.

peter maximoff lives at home with his mother because his mother isnโt exactly great at taking care of his little sister. he knows heโs not the prime candidate for renting or even owning his own place โ his mom still does his laundry, he can barely take care of himself, and being a kleptomaniac doesn't help paying the bills unless you know a fence โ which peter doesn't. but whenever he thinks about moving out, itโs always the wellbeing of his little sister that stops him from doing so. yeah, he could have friends and the people that heโs come to see as family surrounding him if he moved into the x-mansion, but who would make sure his little sister doesnโt turn out like him? whether itโs keeping her away from his motherโs second-hand smoke, making sure she brushes her teeth or does her homework, peter doesnโt want his absence to be the reason his little sisterโs life goes rapidly downhill.
nobodyโs told him that her wellbeing isnโt his responsibility yet.
