summary: nobody can say he didn't try.
“I don’t want it to be like this.”
Peter drags in a breath, facing Jason with huge, angry eyes. “It didn’t have to be. You picked this,” he says stingingly.
And it’s true, but that doesn’t mean Jason can just let it go. Because, yeah, he can be with Ivy, but it’ll still be Peter that he thinks of every second of the day and dreams of every second of the night, and he’s beginning to understand that that’s just not going to be enough.
Jason catches Peter’s wrist as he tries to storm away, pulling him back and kisses him, right there in the hall where anyone could walk in and see them, and when he pulls away, seconds or hours later, Peter’s eyes are still huge, not angry anymore, just shocked. But a slow smile is creeping over his face, and he’s looking at Jason like he’s answered some question he didn’t even know he was being asked, and this time, that might be enough.
