Work Text:
Hearing Peter is not just in a play but playing Doctor Faustus in Doctor Faustus rocked Ben's socks just a little bit; not because Ben has ownership of everything to do with Marlowe or even because Ben has much experience with theatre (disregarding some primary school plays) but because he remembers seeing flyers around campus and almost went to the audition himself.
He honestly hadn't even realised how much time had passed since the thought of going had entered his brain until now because hearing that not only was that opportunity gone but Peter has it and was by all means thriving in it feels devastating in a way that Ben has no idea what to do with.
