I didn't have my toothbrush so I just went and rinsed my mouth and while doing so I heard Peter and may whispering outside the door. But not quiet enough because I hear the whole conversation

"Whats the.. deal between you and Veronica?"
May asks Peter
"I-I don't know.. I like her she likes me.. we're just.. friends.. for now"
"But you two kissed. Didn't you?"
"We.. we did. But I don't know how to do this relationship stuff May"
"Well do you want to be with her.. like date her"
Sounding flustered Peter says
"I-I haven't even thought about that"
"Then why'd you invite her to stay here?"
"I.. I don't know may. I just felt like it"
He goes on to say
"But can you please stop grilling me, may. You know how I hate that"
"I know. I know. I'm sorry."
"It's.. alright"
"Well goodnight."
She says and Peter whispers very quietly that I don't hear.

I count to 10 then leave the bathroom.

Peter smiles weakly at me and then walks into his room, and I follow.
"Do you want the top bunk or bottom bunk"
"Top"

He nods and throws a blanket up on the top bunk.

"Im gonna go change"
He says taking pajamas to the bathroom.
I'm glad I'm wearing comfy clothes today or else I'd be having a horrible nights sleep.

We both get on our bunks and he shuts off the light.

I try to go to sleep for what feels like an hour but my mind just won't calm down.
I go to open my phone but I notice it's dead.

I sit up and sigh. I get off the bunk and I notice peters awake and on his phone
"Your awake..?"
I ask and he sits up
"Yeah.. you are too?"
"I couldn't sleep."
I explain
"Same"
He says then stands up and looks at me
"I have an idea"
He grabs his suit out a laundry basket and starts to change into it with no warning. I turn my back to him and he laughs
"Sorry- forgot to say something"

I giggle "It's you not me."
He laughs "You can.. turn around now"

I turn around and can't help but admire him in his suit. It's so cool.
"I have an idea but I-I don't know if you'll be down"
He slowly makes his way to his window then opens it all the way
"Wanna go look at the stars"

I look at him with a wide mouth but say nothing.
"Umm.."
Is all that I'm able to say.

He closes the window and awkwardly laughs
"Bad idea"

I take a step to him
"No- that's a great idea.. but how would we get there?"
"By swinging.. with me"
"Oh... um well let's do it"

He opens the window and he seems excited cause the window goes past where it's meant to stop
"Did you just break your window?"
I worriedly ask.
He turns to me holding the bottom half of his window
"Uhh.. not important"
He throws the broken window part on his bed and I start laughing but calm myself to not wake may.
He puts his mask on and goes out the window but takes a jacket and blanket with him. Then he takes my hand as I sit on the windowsill and look down.

He's sticking to the wall.. oh my gosh can he get any cooler

He puts his arm around my waist and I put my arms around him.

"Hold on tight"
He whispers
