Late Night Knocking - Peter

[st_hotflashes]

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.

Liz was pretty sure she'd feel the same about the room even if it was crawling with monsters, but she didn't say that. Instead she joined Peter further up the bed and lay on her side facing Peter. "Muffins sound good."

She leaned over to kiss him softly. "Good night." She wanted to thank him, but she he'd say something about that.

Peter returns the kiss with one to Liz's forehead and pulls her closer. It's very nearly fall now and things are starting to feel colder, but when he draws Liz closer to him, it feels warm. Almost uncomfortably so.

But Peter still holds her because he finds some comfort in being close to her, and he thinks maybe she does, too. And no matter what happens in the future, this moment will still exist for the two of them, even if neither one of them remembers it.

When Peter finally dozes off, he dreams of taking Liz home to meet May.
