[ Bobby offers him an empathetic smile, if not a bit lopsided when he says that. Come on, Wade. Don't be so hard on yourself. He's about to tell him this exact same thing when he asks about who his boyfriend is.
Since this guy apparently knows the X-Men, he might be surprised to know who he is. ]
Well, it's Erik. Erik Lehnsherr. [ And before Wade even reacts to that - ] He's not the one from my time. The one here is younger and from a different timeline from mine.
[ Who's McKellen? This guy truly drops the weirdest names and terms. Disney. Fox. Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Bobby doesn't know what to make of these so he just chooses to ignore them, chalking it up to Wade knowing some stuff he doesn't from his own version of Earth. Kind of like the term Krakoa in Ororo and Kurt's.
The questions make him snort a little, making quick work of cleaning all the glasses in the bar by now. ]
Like I said, he's not from my timeline, if that makes sense? He's from the past but he's also on the path of doing better. [ Here, his smile turns a bit fond. ] He has done nothing but take good care of me and protect me. And all of us mutants here, to be honest. I have faith he won't end up like the one I know from my time.
[ That's often the best way to deal with Deadpool. Ignore half of what he says as useless exposition and confusing commentary. Wade props his head up against his hand, elbow on the bar — leaning into it a little when he sees that cute little smile spread on Bobby's face. Awwww! ]
Now that's what I'm talking about! I guess something good came out of this shithole after all.
[ He sighs dreamily. Sounds like Erik has been leaning into that protectiveness for all Mutants schtick in a way that just begs to be called 'daddy' a lot. He bets they make a great couple. ]
I hope I get to meet the best Magneto, he sounds great.
[ The way Wade does that gesture makes Bobby chuckle. It's a true silver lining of this place - what he and Erik has. But also, most of his friendships and relationships are also that. Duplicity might be all kinds of fucked up but the bonds one forges with people here make this place bearable. ]
I hope you do, too. Since you're - [ Pauses, contemplates for a bit. ] - also a mutant, right? Since you know us? [ And friends with Colossus? ]
There are a lot of us here, by the way. You might run into them, too.

[ Cue the double-handed gasp. Magneto! ]
Not gonna lie, I'd hit it if it was McKellen too. Well done.
[ But using his name? Full name? That's a twist, maybe that means he's not completely done with humanity. Interesting. ]
Is it weird? I mean — knowing he becomes this absolute baddie doesn't put a weird, sexy strain on your relationship?
