    Summary

    Peter’s breath stuttered. He stayed quiet for a long moment, body tense and curled. When he finally spoke, the words came out thin and cracked. “It’s fine. Besides, even if I t-told you…” He trailed off. His hand tightened in the front of Frank’s shirt, then loosened again. “God. I can’t even k-keep it together.”

    The next sob tore out of him loud enough that Frank felt it vibrate through both of their chests, Peter’s whole body straining with it. He tried to pull his knees up higher, to make himself smaller, but Frank’s arms wrapped around him prevented Peter from hiding anymore than he already was. Frank cupped the back of Peter’s head with one big hand and pressed his face gently into his shirt, the fabric dampening almost immediately. He felt the wet heat of tears and the uneven hitch of breathing against his sternum. Something in Frank’s chest shifted at the sight of it—

    The red rims of Peter’s eyes when he briefly lifted his head, the way the tears tracked down his flushed cheeks, the open-mouthed, ugly shape of sadness and anxiety. It shouldn’t have done anything to him...

    It did.

    Or: Peter goes through some new changes caused by his new spider DNA. Frank helps.
