Fight Or Flight | Peter Parker & MJ

Boy Talk: Take Two

               "Peter... I'm sorry man." Ned says, coming to the bed and sitting beside me. "You kinda just have to... Let her go."

               I laugh a little, running a hand through my hair, "You're really great at advice, dude." I tease lightly.

              "Hey! I'm trying my best! I don't really know how to help you since girls just come so naturally to me."

              "Heh... Right..." I say, looking at Ned with a soft smile. Honestly, I don't know if I wanted advice. I think I just wanted an escape and... Someone to talk to... "I guess it's just hard because... I see her everyday... How am I supposed to get over her when we live together."

               "I don't know, man... Maybe you should have got a college dorm."

               "Yeah, maybe." I fall back onto Ned's bed and look up at the ceiling, he follows suit. "I just wish it wasn't so... Complicated..."

               "Women." Ned says, I exhale out of my nose.

               "I think it's mainly me... I screwed everything up and now we're in this weird grey area... At least to me."

               "You think she's leading you on?"

                "... I don't know... We're friends, you know? She's just acting like herself and shit... Like, it's my fault for still feeling this way... I'm thankful being Spider-Man is my excuse to be out so much, but even then she caught on."

               "MJ's always been able to read us."

               "Yeah..." I close my eyes, putting my arm over them, "That's the worst part..."

                Ned sits up, "Maybe you need to take your mind off of it..." He grabs my wrist gently and lifts it up from my eyes, causing me to open one of my eyes and look at him, "Wanna play Rocket League?"

                I smile lightly, "Yeah... Let's do it."
