Some people are like that with dating, too. Or they want to be with someone rich and famous who's good in bed even if they don't care about them as a person. Like I said, not everyone is good like you are.
I'm curious about what life is like in this parallel universe where you can scope out fuck buddy potential AND seduce me once it's been confirmed. I kinda want to see that side of you.
And because I know you're gonna start thinking a mile a minute, I'm not wishing for anything different between us or how we started dating. You were already really confident to kiss me first.
not sure that universe is all that parallel. alternate, definitely. but i think that one has a couple left turns this one doesn't.
[ Peter isn't quite so sure he can imagine that. What he can imagine is spending something like two years poking and nudging and making jokes in various directions until he worked out if Tony would, at the very least, let him down easy. ]
i'm - i don't know. i mean, i know why i did it, but it was still fucking terrifying.
Well, probably not too alternate, unless that version of me is different enough to have said no to you.
[ Something in Tony makes him believe that even if they had started sleeping together under different circumstances, the same feelings would have been caught eventually. ]
I'm glad you did it, even if you were momentarily possessed by a braver version of yourself.
you've never seen a single episode of Star Trek have you? mirror universe - they all have goatees and they're the evil versions of the prime universe
[ you're safe, Tony, Peter likes the goatee ]
uh - it was both of those, plus being somewhat annoyed that you had either not listened to me or forgot everything i said explaining your good qualities and were throwing around more things you thought were negative. i didn't have the emotional energy to talk that out again
[ which he can explain now, but had nothing in the tank to do so at the time ]

[ offensive gross. ]
clearly i'm just more honest?
because if all i wanted was to sleep with you, i'd've just said that
[ maybe. eventually. from behind a tree. ]

[ definitely not exactly like that ]
i'd have to kinda scope out the territory first. make sure you weren't gonna just laugh in my face
[ because that'd be hugely embarrassing and he'd have to move to the north pole or something ]

[ because they always have a goatee - it's like the alternate universe sign of evil ]
that sounds way cooler than the truth

[ Asks the man with a goatee. ]
Nah, the truth that you were nervous or terrified or whatever but still went with your gut is way better.

Oh. Then I can chalk another win up for beating myself up if that's what finally pushed you over the edge.
