( there probably isn't an answer. how many times has Peter heard the same? I'm sorry about your parents. your uncle was a good man. it was just one of those things people said, and while they had the best of intentions it didn't ease the leeching pain of losing someone. once again Peter feels like his words have failed him, because there's so much more he should have said if he knew how to say it. truthfully, if he was brave enough to say it. he can't seem to claw the words out of his chest, even though maybe Matt might like to know he's not the only one to lose someone too soon. he hates that they have it in common.
the stitches are uneven and there might be an excessive amount of them, but Peter thinks the wound is as closed as it's going to get. he cuts off the thread and fishes wearily through the kit to find a bandage to cover it with, touch still careful of the likely bruised ribs as he puts it on. )
Don't be sorry. ( while his thoughts might be reeling spectacularly, Peter is certain Matt has nothing to apologize for. well, except maybe the hitting too soft thing, but he's over that for the present. he can tell Matt is fading on him, which is a mix of reassuring (he should absolutely rest, he needs to desperately) and terrifying (what if he doesn't wake up?). one thing is for sure, though, it is easy to make the promise, ) I'm not going anywhere.
