    Summary

    “Can I ask something about your—?” He chokes on the word.

    “You can ask.”

    “Does he treat you well?”

    She blinks at him in surprise briefly before her face softens, her lashes fluttering as she nods. “He does,” she breathes. “He really does.”

    Peter nods. It’s interesting, he’d thought it would hurt to hear that, but it doesn’t. Instead he feels a sense of…peace, almost. The pain still lingers beneath it, but there’s relief in knowing she’s adored. Even if it can’t be by him anymore. “Good. Good, I’m…I’m glad. You deserve—”

    "And what about you?”

    Peter frowns. “What…what about me?”

    MJ shrugs. “Did they…treat you well?”

    “Who?”

    “The person whose perfume you’re wearing tonight.”

    Oh, he’s gonna throw up. “No, what? No,” he laughs nervously. “No, this…” he gestures vaguely towards himself, “this is just something I’m trying out.”

    MJ smirks as she ascends the steps to her apartment. “Okay, tiger.”

    Tiger, he mouths as she disappears inside. That’s new. A smile twitches at his lips.

    He thinks he likes it.

    In which Peter is definitely not waiting.

    But he is willing.
