( placate? not exactly. instead he wonders how close is too close, and if he will find out sooner or later. Peter tries to remember the importance of not getting too attached, not letting anyone too close — but he sort of sucks at it, and he already knows if eventually Matt decides that he’s the next person in his life that needs to be kept safe from himself, it’s going to hurt like hell.
there’s no time to worry about that right now. he physically shakes his head, as if he can shake the fears out loose. the touch on his shoulder is actually surprisingly grounding, and he turns the shake into a weary nod. okay, he can do this. )
Oh, yeah. You remember Doc Oc? Rang my bell hard enough that I don’t think I could speak properly for two days. Only my aunt could understand the gibberish. ( for Peter to still be messed up after a day, it’d been quite the hit. Peter isn’t a nurse like Claire or Aunt May, but he knows enough to disinfect his hands before he grabs the gloves. it goes okay until he uses his teeth to pull on the second one. ) Crap, ( he mumbles, reaching for the second pair. sorry, Matt, his bedside manner needs work. )
