Oh, there absolutely is. You're mine, but I think I would be a little bit of a villain, if I did try and keep you all to myself all the time. There's too much good and too much love in you for that, it would cost the world something.
[Which was perhaps more deep than the actual conversation they were having in this moment, but it was true.]
Yes, that's the big one. Exactly what I was thinking.
[He said that softly because hearing her say that about him made him feel... he didn't know how it made him feel. Special. Overwhelmed (in a good way) and just in general very good and a little scared.]
[With the mix of pain medication and being relaxed now, the adrenaline having worn off, it didn't even really register to Arya she had said anything that big.]
[He wasn't going to draw attention to what she'd said in case it was just pain meds or something talking. Not that he think she would say something she didn't mean, just that she might not mean to say it otherwise.]
True. I bet you'd like Wanda though. Not to date... I mean probably to date. I was just jumping tracks to which of the Avengers you'd get along with is all.
You have to be perceptive to be sneaky. Did I make it weird?
[The painkillers certainly made it easier to say, but they didn't make the decision for her. It was something she'd thought he ought to hear for a while, but the words hadn't come.]
You know, just about every person you know and line that I don't know, you've talked about me dating them. Is that - conscious, I guess? Or just happenstance?
You also always seem to think I would date them. I went on two actual legit dates before you, and one was basically a guilt date, and the other I didn't know was a date till I was there.
[Peter had to think about that because it definitely wasn’t a conscious thing that he did. And she didn’t exactly do that with him. It probably wasn’t a great thing to keep bringing up.]
I don't mind. [That probably sounded bad. She can't tell, her gauges
for that were all thrown off.] I mean I'm not saying that because
it bothers me or anything. I was just - curious?
Well, I'm a little concerned, I guess, that you might feel uncertain you
can hold my attention?
Peter paused to think about that for a bit too because it also deserved some actual thought. Initially he used to be afraid that she’d get tired of him or something but he hadn’t felt that way in a long time.]
I can say I definitely don’t think that. Actually I don’t think I could make comments like that if I wasn’t completely secure that you want to be with me and only me.
Alright, good. [That was possibly more reassuring than it should be, or at least it was one of the Them things that she didn't think she could get to make sense to anyone else. Good thing she didn't care if they made sense to anyone else.]
Well, in that case, talk about me dating anyone you like, whenever you want.
Maybe one day you'll be walking along and he'll swing down and snatch you up and take you to some out of the way place to fuck your brains out before swinging away
[Somehow, she's managed not to just laugh outright at this yet, but it's getting more difficult.] really, you think he's the wham bam thank you ma'am type?
[Peter wasn't sure if this was still in the realm of "being silly" or was kind of into "Peter you're being weird now" so like all similar situations he would exit it with grace and dignity.]
So am I going to have to sneak you in real food or do they have decent stuff here?
I'm only staying here tonight. I'm sure whatever their breakfast options are fine. It'd be silly to send you out for that when we're going to leave anyways.

You could ride on his shoulder though.
no subject
[With the mix of pain medication and being relaxed now, the adrenaline having worn off, it didn't even really register to Arya she had said anything that big.]
I get enough rides with you.
no subject
You are very, very perceptive.

I have no idea why I keep doing that.

You could definitely get it from that Spider-Man guy.

He's pretty inscrutible

no subject
I mean I believe the thank you ma'am part
no subject
[Okay he was kind of going for sexy with that but barely restrained laughter was probably better at the moment.]
I've heard he's polite.
no subject
Polite but also likely to literally scoop me up for a booty call minus the call part? Interesting combination, there.
no subject

no subject
Well you know, I've talked to him once or twice.
[Peter leaned down and kissed the top of her head.]
So if you wanna scratch that off your bucket list I could probably make that happen.
no subject
Just to be clear, right now, are you pimping me out or Spider-man?
no subject
[Peter was really, really curious what she meant about that but figured maybe it was best if he didn’t know what she was thinking right now.]
Yup, that is absolutely what I’m doing.
no subject
Weird hobby, but okay.
no subject
So am I going to have to sneak you in real food or do they have decent stuff here?
no subject
I don't know. I know I asked you to bring that burger but honestly I'm not hungry now and I didn't even look at what they've got here.
no subject
Okay. I'll bring you stuff so long as it doesn't legitimately affect you getting better.
[Because he will break the rules for her but not if it means she gets better more slowly.]
