Although he was already back on the safety of the rooftop, Peter refused to let go of Deadpool's hand.
"'Pool, I.."
"Sweetums, if you feel uncomfortable we don't need to talk about it."
An awkward silence ensued, which was rare considering that Peter was with the infamous Merc with a Mouth. He could see that Wade was trying to refrain from saying anything brash.

"So, what do you say, baby boy? Do you wanna try?" He tilted his head towards the nearby rooftop exit.
Peter paused, then scrunched his eyebrows together and nodded determinedly, tightening his grip on the other's hand.
"Yeah."
