and a good bit of rest after two smuts in a row </3 writing smut is so fun but there is nothing on earth i struggle with more

The front door slams immediately after the bedroom door and Peter collapses onto the porch step. It's warm today, too warm for a sweater, but he keeps it on.

Inside, he knows Cooper will be sat in the same stiff position as himself on his bed, legs tense and hands gripping the covers. Peter changes how he sits so he can feel more at ease knowing that Cooper isn't copying him. Accidental though it may be, Peter sat down first; if Cooper is sat how he thinks he is, that means he must be copying him. Now he's just sat weird, hunched over straight legs with arms dangling so low his fingertips almost brush the dusty path up to their house. It's uncomfortable and his back is cramping after mere seconds.

It's still better than being sat like him.

Peter did not start the argument. They were eating with everyone else, and Peter asked Lila to pass him the mustard. She did and Cooper huffed. Peter glanced at him meaningfully and instantly all Hell broke loose. It's just mustard, it doesn't matter who was closest to it or who he asked to pass it to him or anything but Cooper was nasty for no reason. Peter knows he said mean things too, but at least he didn't start it. 

The front door opens and Peter's frown intensifies. If this is Cooper coming to beg forgiveness, he isn't going to say anything. He doesn't deserve forgiveness, Peter decides.

"Now," Clint says, easing himself beside Peter so they can look at one another eye-to-eye, "What was all that about, huh?"

"He started it." Peter states firmly, avoiding eye contact purposefully. He instead looks out at the sprawling fields that shield their house, yellowed in the relentless sun and weather-won into feeling like straw. 

"I didn't ask who started it, I asked what happened."

Peter takes a quick glance at his father at this. Clint's expression is not of irritation or readiness to scold, like he thought it would be - he's open, and concerned, and willing to listen. He sighs. "Cooper said I should've asked him for the mustard instead of Lila because he was closer to it."

"And why didn't you ask Cooper?"

"Because Lila was closer to me so if she was the one to give it to me, I wouldn't have to stretch or anything."

Clint nods, smiling a little bit, and Peter looks back out at the fields. "What then?"

"I..." Peter trails off, partly because he doesn't want to think about the situation anymore so he can calm down properly but also slightly out of shame. Cooper overreacted about the mustard, but not as much as Peter. Plus, Clint was there - he knows what happened, he just wants Peter to admit it.

"Go on, Pete."

"I told him to shut up, and that if I wanted his input I would ask. And that he would probably spit in it before he gave it to me anyway."

"Why?"

"Because last night he told me he was gonna spit in my food if I ever made fun of him in front of this girl he likes again and I did."

Clint nods again, still with the smile he tries to stifle, then sighs and flings his arm around Peter's shoulders. "Right. You wanna go inside and talk it out with him?"

Peter shakes his head.

"You wanna stay out here with me for a little longer?"

Peter nods. Clint's chin brushes Peter's head when he nods back and for a few minutes, the pair of them just sit still and stare. The grass moves like water, an ocean between them and the nearest people. They are all they have - Peter hates to acknowledge it, but he knows his dad will make him at some point, he may as well just make peace with that fact now. Cooper's his twin brother, he can't really do much about that, and he knows he loves him... even if he doesn't feel like it now.

"Wanna go back inside now?" Clint asks gently. 

"Yeah." Peter says, standing after Clint squeezes his shoulder. Peter steps inside first and he's greeted instantly with the sight of Cooper stood at the bottom of the stairs with Laura. Cooper glances at Peter and his heart thumps.

"Sorry. For everything I said." Cooper says, speech stilted but still heartfelt. Peter nods.

"Sorry for not asking you for the mustard."

Cooper nods, then they both share a small smile of forgiveness. 

yay all done! this was a lot quicker to write because it's on my laptop (n because it was short shit but we don't need to mention that lol) so that's nice 

and i'm so totally torn it's laughable -

i know this giiiiiirl and i wanna b with her super bad but she's in a bad place right now so she doesn't want to be anything with me (which is fair n i understand but also what if i scared her off idk i have many thoughts n they're making this whole thing super awkward)

but i also had a crush on one of my friends (sophie) for moooooonths (i've mentioned her here before i think) and the day after The Girl told me she didn't want anything to happen with me bc she's in a bad place n everything i kissed sophie??? straight up first kiss lol

and it was totally not what i expected but ooooooooh it was good

like we kissed super quickly one time, then we giggled and then again, then we went down this little pathway and found some used heroin needles n kissed some more for longer n she touched my waist and put her hand in my hair and aaaawjdewfeirhfujedhyhfjricdj KISS KISS

and the heroin just added so much MORE to the situation i'm not being dramatic when i say there's no way it could have been better

but both of us agree it's jus a fwb thing bc sophie only wants that with anyone rn n also im super caught up on The Girl

i just want her so much it hurts

i think about her and my whole heart bruises up and i stop feeling like i'm worth anything and i wish i could be better for her even though she told me straight up that it's not because of me that nothing can happen

but she knows i kissed sophie but she ALSO says fwb? but she also says she doesn't wanna lead me on but it isn't leading me on if i'm aware of what's happening lol

when i told her that she told me she was surprised i wasn't being mean about it like bae i simply know how to understand people?? affection from u is affection from u idc what kind

anyway she's texting me n i wanna think about her for multiple hours so i better go lolz

stay safe, hydrated and happy
