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 ]

[ because they always have a goatee - it's like the alternate universe sign of evil ]
that sounds way cooler than the truth
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
it made sense at the time

Like I said, I'm thankful for whatever reason it was that made you kiss me, even if I may not have seemed thrilled from the jump.
no subject
you asked why the alt-verse ones would have one and be evil. so i told you why
it probably wasn't the best time to spring it on you. but - i did
no subject
There's always so much going on for both of us, I'm not sure a better time would have ever come if you'd waited.
no subject
obvious that you're not evil?
pretty sure i could've been in a bit of a better space emotionally, but otherwise, yeah
no subject
Do you regret how you did it?
no subject
no, i don't
i was super mad at you when you threw on the brakes and built a brick wall, but that didn't last as long as i made you think it did
no subject
no subject
because i was a bit unhappy at the whole 'we should wait' part
[ Tony wasn't wrong. Peter was just - impatient. ]
