nothing

i just wanted to

say hi

[ lol ok peter obviously not

But Gwen's text does make him smile a little. She has a knack of doing that. ]

idk if you heard the news

about harry?

[ that makes her sit up and take notice. gwen fires off an experimental text to harry, already fearing what she'll find. sure enough, the number's been disconnected. oh. ]

i'm sorry peter
i didn't know him as well as i would've liked to but i know he was a good friend.

[ Peter will wait.

In the meantime, he wonders how to ... phrase this. ]

he was my best friend

still is i guess

but for a while i hated him with everything i was

it was hard to keep being that way when harry doesn't even know what happened

and now he's gone

i was trying to help him with his incentive
i get now why oscorp was so into results at least, even if it wasn't a very successful attitude to take. you can't rush science.

[ even if you're dying. her sadness for peter is like a tangible weight. ]

i can't imagine how hard it must have been to deal with both of us showing up here. trying to move on and then not being able to.
i'm really sorry.

yeah?

i tried to help him too

when i planned to save you i planned to save him too

maybe it'll work if i keep doing it anyway

i don't know

i don't really know what to do right now

[ One thing he does know is that moving on or not, he can't let go of either Gwen or Harry. It's impossible. And having this second chance, having had this second chance ... why would he give it up?

He'd be stupid to, right?

So why is he constantly screwing it up? ]

hey

don't be sorry okay?

im serious

having you back in my life is one of the best things i could ever ask for

[ it comforts her to hear that from him. she doesn't know whether it SHOULD, but it does. it means a lot. she wants him to feel like he can move on if that's what he needs. but if it's not what he needs...

well. she's here. ]

do you want me to come over?

[ it's the middle of the night but these things truly don't matter at the moment. ]

i think it'll make a difference, you being here. and maybe i'll be able to take my work with me, and - we'll figure it out. we won't let it happen.

no

no it's okay it's late

i don't want to force you out of your pjs and hot cocoa

[ Actually, that's the opposite of what Peter wants. Right now all he wants is to be close to Gwen.

He's just so - not okay. He's not okay. ]

man you've got me pegged

not that hard to throw on a coat and put the cocoa in a thermos though

no pressure i'm here either way just in a more digital capacity

thanks gwen

:)

and yea i'd like to think i know you pretty well you know

:)
i mean you probably basically know me better than anyone else if you wanna get really technical about it

listen i know how it feels to lose someone you love and not know how to keep going
and i'm really sorry that in your case that was me and harry
but we're gonna be ok peter
that's what we're here for

[ It takes a couple of minutes longer than usual to send a reply.

#overcomewithemotions ]

i know

i don't tell you this enough because i feel like i shouldn't

because maybe it's not allowed or because

i don't know

but i love you

[ And he kind of wishes he got the chance to tell Harry that, too. ]

it's allowed
it's always allowed

i love you too

you're not alone.

thanks gwen

[ She's the best. She really is. ]

guess sometimes i need to hear it

or read it

i'm gonna come over and i can tell you every day

not right now
but tomorrow maybe
for a little while

yeah?

okay

ok good

just until you build me that chocolate house
