vacation?   you?   those words don't ever seem to coexist,   you sure you're the real peter parker?   (  she grinned and nudged him gently with her elbow.  )   you haven't missed much around here,   that's for sure.   no demons,   no symbiote people,   no men with metal arms   —   nice and quiet.

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀:⠀ ⠀@oscrps ,   then   let's   take   them   both   some,   hmm?   i'll   grab   some   for   miles'   dad   too.   (..)   i   don't   stop   by   as   often   as   i   should.   but   i   know   may   would   say   not   to   worry..   she   was   great   like   that.    (    he   spoke,   albeit   mostly   to   himself,   as   he   picked   some   small,   pink   flowers.    )

i think that's a nice idea.   dad has someone lay flowers at mom's grave every month but   ...   it feels so   —   what's the word   —   impersonal.   like,   why pay someone else to do it when it would be more meaningful to do it yourself?   i think that shows you care.

i don’t ..   know.   they’re like —.   just so complicated!    (     he sits there defeated.  not even sure of how he should go about this      )    and    somehow,   /i’m/   always in the wrong    ? which is ..     i don’t know.  winston-phobic if you ask me .       we had an argument earlier and i apologized with ..   ice cream sandwiches  which /was/ a good idea!    and for some reason she’s still upset!     @arachnists

peter?   peter,   oh my god,   what happened to you?

(  she nodded,   partly in understanding and partly in satisfaction at the acknowledgement of her reassurances.   then,   she shrugged her shoulders with a slight chuckle.  )   i'm okay for the most part,   you know?   just working hard.

it's okay,   believe me.   i understand that you've got more than enough on your shoulders.   just know that i'm here for you,   and i'm not the only one.   you've got a lot of people who you can talk to,   even when it feels like you don't.   i promise.

(  she laughed and hugged him back,   making the squeeze extra tight.  )   it's no big deal,   you never have to get me anything.   but i'm so glad you like them.   figured you could use a little treat.

she smiled softly,   pulling back from him a bit so she could look up at him.   "  awesome,   my treat.   we can get whatever you want.   i can only imagine what kind of an appetite you've been working up the last few days,  "   she said with a soft chuckle.

"me?   i'm fine,   perfectly fine,"   she said,   looking up into his eyes.   relief flooded hers,   and then she smiled.   "let's get you something to eat then,   yeah?   and then you can tell me everything that happened.   and maybe we'll check and see if you need to be patched up.   i have a friend who's been teaching me all sorts of medical stuff,   it's been really handy these days.
