[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're not ever useless. I'd rather you stay here than have a non hospital breakfast.
But. They are going to give me probably a whole packet of instructions when I leave, what to do with the bandage, dosages, restrictions. If it'll make you feel better, you can be 100% in charge of that.
[And she would even do her best to actually follow all those instructions, even the restrictions.]
[If for no other reason that he was maybe one of the few people that could convince her to follow the majority of the restrictions. He might have to get creative with incentives but he knew that ultimately she wanted to get better as fast as possible.]
[Oh, there was no maybe about that. Even if she were planning on telling more people about this injury. He was also about the only person that she could stand having fuss over her.]
No it'll help because I'll know you're taking care of yourself.
[Because Peter was pretty sure he could fuss over her without making it seem like he was fussing over her. He liked doing things for her and this was just an extension of that. Let her ride his face for an extended period of time, make sure her knife wound was taking care of... tomato tomahto.]

I have no idea why I keep doing that.

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

no subject
He's pretty inscrutible
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
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.]
no subject
no subject
Okay. I just... feel super useless since the only way for you to get better is to just wait.
[And Peter was not the best at waiting. He was categorically closer to "the worst" when it came to waiting.]
no subject

Oh, I can definitely help with all that stuff.
[If for no other reason that he was maybe one of the few people that could convince her to follow the majority of the restrictions. He might have to get creative with incentives but he knew that ultimately she wanted to get better as fast as possible.]
I'm going to be the best nurse you've ever had.

[Oh, there was no maybe about that. Even if she were planning on telling more people about this injury. He was also about the only person that she could stand having fuss over her.]
Just keep being you.

I can do that. It's pretty easy around you.
