Late Night Knocking - Peter

Liz had ended up going out to the spot she had shown Peter months ago and she just sat and thought and cried and repeated. When she finally made it back to the inn, she took a long shower and tried to sleep, but as the night waned on and she continued to toss and turn, Liz found herself in PJ bottoms, Peter's back-up shirt he kept at her place, and his hoodie. She hovered outside his room door wondering if he was asleep. Wondering if she should knock. Wondering.
After a moment, she knocked softly.
After a moment, she knocked softly.

"I don't want to get my hopes up in case it doesn't or can't happen."

Date: 2018-09-16 08:53 pm (UTC)"I have to... Eventually. It's not fair if I don't. She's my best friend." She paused again, shifting her head so she nestled against his a little. She glanced behind him to the wall. "Do you think I'm being a bad friend?"

"I don't think I would have gone through with it, anyway." Not after that realization on the roof.

Date: 2018-09-17 03:16 am (UTC)As far as what a fistbump was...
Peter takes Liz's hand and curls her fingers into a fist, then balls up his own. Then he lightly strikes his fist with her own.
"Fistbump," he says, smiling at Liz.

Date: 2018-09-18 02:19 am (UTC)She realized she was still sitting on his lap. She leaned forward and kissed him, then carefully slipped off of his lap. "How are you and Annie, doing, by the way? I see her come into the clinic once in a while to talk to Loki."

Date: 2018-09-18 03:30 am (UTC)"My mom still says that about me sometimes." She offered what she hoped was a reassuring smile. "I think... I think you're doing a good job. I know she really loves you."

"Did you want to spend the night tonight?"
