One Night and Forever

Maybe I Do

"Oh he's not my boyfriend" you shake your head. No way you would date Peter. Never in a million years. Not if he was the last man on Earth.

"Didn't seem like it" He muttered and went back to playing with his rings. It's not that he didn't believe you it's just how touchy-feely Peter got with you. He doesn't know why but he felt this pang of jealousy. It's almost as if he wants to be the one who caresses your arm, your face or all of you.

You come around the couch and sit next to him. As you sit down you let out a big sigh. You don't want him thinking that Peter has a chance because he doesn't

"What did you hear?" You lean back onto the couch and look at him fidgeting with his rings.

"Bits and pieces. Him grabbing your hand, calling you love, and kissing you" He got really quiet at the mention of kissing. It made him think of the first time you two kissed. He's never felt so alive before. That kiss, which went on for hours didn't feel like hours. When you two separated he felt like a part of him left with you. It was the best feeling he's ever felt when you kissed. He wants to feel like that again. But he's also afraid that it was a one-time thing. He wants to try kissing you again but he doesn't want to get rejected. He doesn't want it to be awkward either as he doesn't know when his name will be cleared

"Careful there Munson, almost sounds like you're jealous" You smile slightly. Do you want him to be jealous? You liked he cared so much about Peter being all Peter. 

"I am not jealous" He scoffs and waves the thought away. He knows he is jealous but he doesn't want you to know that

"You sure about that?" You ask him.

"Absolutely. You can date whoever you want" He mutters

"He's just a really good old friend of mine..... He's always been like that i guess" Its not a good excuse you know that. But there was nothing else to say about Peter. He didn't interest you then and he doesn't interest you now. He never will. You wish there was a way you could tell Eddie that without making yourself too open and vulnerable to getting hurt

"What did he want anyway? I couldn't really hear him" He leans back on the couch making himself a little more comfortable. He can't bring himself to look at you yet. If he does he might try something that could jeopardise your friendship and hiding spot

"eavesdropping much? Uhm he wanted to come inside and have a catch up" you laugh at the thought. You don't want Peter anywhere near where Eddie was. You knew Peter. He'd turn Eddie in the minute he saw the metal head

"You didn't say no because of me did you? because i can go and hide in the shed if you want to talk to him" He regrets saying that the instant it came out of his mouth. He doesn't want Peter to have quality time with you. He hopes you reject the offer he just put out there. He wants the quality time with you

"Despite him being an old friend Eddie, there's only so much of him i can take. And today he just hung around my work like a fly on the wall" You let out an annoyed sigh. The way he just didn't leave during your whole shift, watching you, following you. It creeped you out. And you wanted to call Eddie and tell him all about it. But you didn't want to burden him with your work problems

"you sound annoyed" he caught on quickly. He knows when you're annoyed. It helped a little bit knowing you get annoyed at Peter too

"Well i don't like it when people just hang around! Especially at my job. It's not necessary. And he keeps calling me this pet name "love" ugh" You especially hated the pet name love. It sounded so off when he called you that. It gave you the shivers and not in a good way. You don't know what it is but just something about Peter seems off to you
