i’m sorry i can’t make it. an excuse, of course. it was what he was good at, making excuses. that seems to be all he ever did anymore. despite how badly he didn’t want to flake out, as usual, it just became a habit peter couldn’t break. ❛ i have um——the internship, you know? ❜ and there it was. a pang of remorse followed his own words.

❛ maybe take a raincheck? ❜ his voice carried every source of remorse, arms coming up to hold himself as he wanted to simply fold in on himself. ❛ seriously, i’m really sorry. i just … can’t. ❜

a slight laugh escaped parted lips, followed by a slow turning of his head, ❛ what happened to keeping a low profile? ❜ peter remarked, having to remove his mask as he collapsed on the edge of a building to catch his breath. his gesture came from the fancy tricks the other pulled out, something he’d certainly never done before.

❛ are you trying to one-up me? because i can totally take you down. ❜ confidence followed peter’s tone, a quirk of a grin following his statement as he pushed up from his seat, taking the time to stretch out his legs. ❛ last i checked, i’m older and wiser. ❜

❛ wait … so i think we should back up, ❜ peter remarked, though his expression remained fully shocked and mixed with confusion. he knew he’d have too many questions that followed. ❛ you can set yourself on fire ? like full on combustion ? how is that even possible ? how do you not burn to ashes ?

❛ that’s seriously so awesome. ❜ peter’s voice fell to a low tone of bewilderment as he mustered out a laugh of disbelief, ❛ can you fly like the human torch ? is that a dumb question? i feel like that’s a dumb question, but i’m just really confused. ❜

earbuds blasted alt-j a little too loudly, easily missing the fact someone was speaking to him amid the crowded hallway. it’s when he turned around and nearly pummeled into the other that his eyes widened and he yanked out his earbuds. ❛ god, sorry ! ❜ escaped in what seemed to be a clumsy mantra two or three times.

❛ i literally, uh … didn’t hear you. ❜ he tried to joke off as the boy turned down the volume of the blaring music that could be heard from the earbuds. ❛ how uh——how long have you been standing there ? ❜ a question he probably didn’t want answered.
