/ / * * feels like a hanna montana moment 

@strongshields * ⸝⸝⸝   HSJSJW BEEN HAVING HIM,, think he's the one I've had the longest

@STXRKISMS         (  . . .  )       PUH-LEASEEE  thank  you  smm  <3<3

well,   so did you.   glad you went with her.   but yeah,   everything's been fine.   dad's   ...   dad.   no changes there.

@oscrps  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀[     he   laughed,   a   genuine   grin   on   his   lips.     ]     mj   dragged   me.   but   i   fought   tooth   and   nail.   :)   good.   this   city   deserves   a   break.

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.

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀:⠀ ⠀@oscrps ,      (      peter   couldn't   help   but   chuckle.   hard   mode—-   that   was   good.   he   walked   along   the   park   trail,   keeping   in   stride   with   her.     )      hard   mode.   (..)   the   flowers   are   nice.   maybe   i'll   pick   some   for   may.   her   headstone   could   use   some   love.   :)

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀:⠀ ⠀@webberjr ,   winston-phobic—-   i'll   unpack   that   later.     (     he   chuckled,   offering   a   reassuring   grin.   girls   were   far   from   his   strong   suit,   they   are   quite   complicated,  but   he'd   learned   a   little   in   his   time   around   them.     )     well..   have   you   talked   to   her   / about /   the   argument?   material   goods   and   food   isn't   always   the   answer.

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 

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀:⠀ ⠀@webberjr ,      (     he   tilted   his   head   as   the   suspense   tore   at   his   insides.   it   wasn't   until   the   other   had   spoken   that   he   let   out   a   sigh.   mostly   in   relief   but   partially   of   more   anxiety.     )     / girl /   advice?   (..)  alright,   hit   me.   what's   going   on?

(  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.

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀:⠀ ⠀@oscrps ,   i   know.    (    he   assured   her.   and   it   was   true,   he   really   did   know   that.   didn't   make   it   easier   of   course   but   the   thought   was   there.     )    how   are   you?     (    he   wondered   out   of   a   mix   of   curiosity   and   wanting   to   focus   off   of   himself.     )

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.

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀*⠀ ⠀@oscrps ,
                  (      he   gasped   ,   making   it   a   point   to   do   it   a   tad   dramatically   ,   and   picked   them   up   .      )      well   now   i   feel   horrible   i   didn't   bring   anything   .      (      he   engulfed   her   in   a   hug   ,   a   stupid   grin   on   his   face   .     )      thank   you   .   :)   i   love   them   .

of course!   it's nothing major,   but here,   a late valentine's day gift.   (  she held out a small box of chocolates and a stuffed animal.  )

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.
            
            /  I NEVER FIB

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀*⠀ ⠀@oscrps   ,   he   chuckled   at   her   words  ,   surprised   but   never   shocked   at   how   much   she   accomplished   regularly  .   "sounds   good   to   me  .   "   he   agreed  ,   relief   flooding   into   him   as   well  .   seeing   her   safe   and   running   to   him   with   open   arms   / always /   cured   more   than   a   nap   ever   could  .
               †  ∖      UR  FIBBING

"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.  "
            
            /  YES WAY

yeah.   (  she rubbed her face gently,   a soft sigh leaving her lips.  )   no matter what i do,   i can't get him to slow down.

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀*⠀ ⠀@oscrps   ,   oh  ..     *     he   sat   down   beside   the   other  ,   his   face   dropping  .    *     i'm   so   sorry   del  .

i   ...   it's dad.   he's really   --   he's not doing so great.

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀*⠀ ⠀@manintheair   ,      *      peter   slowed   to   a   pause  ,   furrowing   his   brows   in   thought  .   he   had   never   been   trained   or   taught   by   any   individual  ,   it   had   all   been   pulled   from   pieces   of   advice   he   gathered  .   and   most   of   that   advice   was   his   technique  ,   not   his   natural   understanding   of   a   fight  .   he   focused   on   his   breathing   for   a   second   before   meeting   the   other's   eyes  .     *     can   we   try   old   fashioned  ?   i   don't   think   i   can   even   remember   the   last   time   i   had   to   fight   without   the   tech  .

[      sam responded quickly to the continuous flow of webs , letting his wings help him dodge . hey , if peter could use his webs , he could use his tech too !  he watched the other's expression closely , coming down to the ground and raising his hands up .   ]   hang on . do you wanna do this the old fashioned way ? or we could keep going with our "newfangled technology" , as steve would say . up to you .

݁⠀ ⠀.̲.̲.̲⠀ ⠀*⠀ ⠀@manintheair   ,   you   want   to   sparr  ?   lets   do   it   then  .     *      his   pent   up   frustration   was   obvious  .   with   the   stress   of   heroing  ,   the   events   he   went   through  ,   and   balancing   his   hero   loss  ?   it   was   no   surprise   the   younger   one   was   cracking   under   the   pressure  .   he   was   abnormally   tense  ,   resulting   in   the   flurry   of   webs  .      *
