[ He and Luna are many things for each other now, and in the moment, seeing her appear on the other side of the door, Luna's... like coming home. Like the first real sense of that word — home — that Peter's felt in a long time. For all of the things that bind them together, some of which are... terrifying now, literally binding, it's this one thing that makes his heart swell, this sense of home.
Though those nerves are still present, and as he moves inside and stands beside her, he hesitates — unsure if he should reach for her. And then she's doing it, letting him know that it's okay to, and Peter slips his arms around the girl. It's slow at first, cautious. Then it isn't, and he gives her a gentle squeeze, but firm. With it, a slow exhale of his nerves, releasing them a bit. He tries not to think about the fact that somewhere inside of him, something else exists between them, something that very likely is.... aware right now, too.
But he can still hold her, hug her. It's still all right to do that. And she still feels the same pressed to him, hugging him. Things have changed, but some things haven't. ]
Oh, so that's why you wanted me to come over. [ Peter teases, smiling as they part from the embrace. There's still... much to talk about regarding where things stand now that the demon is a more pressing presence, and what exactly its connection with her is going to entail, but for now, they can just enjoy each other's company for awhile. It's been so long since they were able to do that. And as he pulls back, he's looking her over a bit, checking for signs of fatigue or illness or... anything. He's been so worried for her. ]
Well, you definitely called the right person for the job. My nickname at my old school was Muscle Man. [ He's 100% being sarcastic right now; he's flimsy and he knows it, and his smile spreads a little. ]
