(there's not so much that can be done this very instant, aside from letting her steal warmth, from gently pressing his hands across her back as a caress, and calming her. perhaps secrets, untold things might become a habit in their relationship, but this is not something he is concerned about right now.
he too wouldn't want her to worry about him. he can understand that.)
That's, like, the nerdiest thing you have ever said, and I've seen you do chemistry.
[She doesn't want secrets to be a part of their relationship, but she doesn't want to hurt him, either. Trying to protect his feelings is what got her where they are now, but whether she had told him sooner or not, it wouldn't have made a difference. She would still be plagued by ghosts.
She just didn't want him to feel like he was second best. That he was just a rebound. Yes, it was weird and confusing and convoluted by the fact that she knew a Peter Parker in her own dimension, but she didn't have what they had with her Peter, either.]
Oh, shut up. [She nudges him slightly, a small smile appearing on her face again, but she doesn't move from his embrace yet. She needed this, more than she realized.]
