"How have you been feeling honey?" May questioned with a patient smile.
"It's fine," Peter sighed as he laid his head on the table. Once Tony had left, it seemed like he took all the joy with him. Peter wondered if this is what love felt like. Or if he was just being overly emotional on a man who didn't care.
These thoughts hunted his dreams.
"You don't talk about Tony anymore, did something happen?" May inquired with a tilt of her head.
"He got transferred to a different clinic. Him and another housemate kept fighting so Sam separated them," Peter informed her.
"Ah I see. Do you miss him?" May leaned in closer, placing her arms on the table.
Peter looked down and nodded his head, "I understand why, I can't depend on anyone during my treatment. I wish that wasn't the case though."
"You'll be out of here soon enough. Sam has been keeping me updated on all of the progress you've made. I'm so proud of you," May smiled with glassy eyes.
"In recovery it's dangerous to latch onto one person. You have to want to get better for yourself. And I know you do, or else you won't be here right now. You have to really want it. Who knows? Maybe once you get better you can see Tony again," May spoke while running her hands through her nephew's hair.
"I understand. I'll get better-do better. I'm sorry I keep breaking my promises. You don't deserve this," Peter sadly spoke.
May hummed, "Maybe not, but I stick around because I love you. You need to be nicer to yourself, love yourself."
"Sorry to interrupt, visiting hours are over in five," Sam said, knocking on the door as he entering the room.
"Okay," May nodded and stood up, "I'm so proud of you." She kissed the top of Peter's head and left with Sam.
Peter sat up once he heard the door close. How was he supposed to love himself when he didn't even like himself? He keeps hurting May and it almost feels like the self-loathing is eating him inside out.
The door opened again and Thor stepped in with a grim expression. Wordlessly, he sat down and slumped in his seat. Peter waited for the man to sat something.
"I didn't realize how much I hurt him. I need to get better if I want my life back. If I want to see him again," Thor spoke in a harsh tone.
Despite what May had told him previously, he found himself nodding to what the blond had said. He felt the exact same way.
