sort of FFH spoilers
the first time meeting him, it was weirdly... familiar. his friendly demeanour grew on peter. within the short time of meeting and getting to know beck, peter knew he could trust him.
"hey kid, you doing alright?" peter was sat in the edge of the building, mask in hand, tears rolling down his face. he shook his head. "you wanna talk about it? seems like you need it."
"it's just, you think you know all the bad things, and they happen because of you. all the things that go wrong in my life, i just can't help but blame myself. and people always say to me 'it's not your fault' but i can't help but think that. uncle ben, he died because of me, we had an argument he went after me and got shot in doing so and i wasn't there to save him, i just held him in my arms as he bled out because there was nothing i could do. mr stark said to me once that if i died it was on him, and what do i do, i get dusted in his arms. he told me to go home and- and i didn't listen. god i'm so stupid."
"hey, non of that is your fault, you had no idea that was gonna happen. you can't blame yourself for all this, it's a big weight to carry around and you've already got your own life problems. do not blame yourself." quentin put his arm around peter, rubbing his hand on the younger boys shoulder, as he cried softly, calming him down.
"thank you, it means a lot that you helped, i just keep losing people and i can't handle it." peter wiped a tear with the back of his hand.
"why don't you get back, get some rest before the mission tomorrow, then once all this is over you can go back to trying to have a normal life for the rest of summer." peter nodded his head before standing, both of them parting their ways.
/////////////////////
a few days had passed since their talk, the mission failed, and mysterio nearly died, which peter broke down crying, in addition to the rambling of how he can't lose anyone else. "kid i'm still here okay? i'm not dead, you've still got me."
"i know and i'm sorry. it's just really stupid."
"nothing you say is stupid pete."
"i um- you've grown on my a lot quentin, like i look up to you, you're someone i trust so much, and in the little time i've known you, there's something about you and it makes me wanna be a better person, and yeah..."
"you do? wow that's..."
"idiotic..."
"no i was gonna say it's surprising but i'm glad you feel that way and i'm happy you trust me."
and that's when peter gave him tony's glasses saying he was meant to give them to someone he trusts. and that for him was quentin. no doubt. peter then left the bar, to enjoy his time with his friends.
///////////////////
peter hadn't expected this. he felt betrayed. he trusted this man so much, this was the guy that helped him through his struggles and he repays him by doing this? i mean who the hell tries to kill someone. it was all an act. he never liked peter, he just wanted to get back at tony. which wasn't cool.
"i trusted you! how could you!"
"it was really easy actually."
and then it was over before it started, a lot of choice words were said, and then quentin was shot. sure, he betrayed peter but that still didn't mean he wasn't upset.
and it meant he was another person (in which at some point he trusted) was gone.
