█ KATE

[metabolizes]

» CONTINUED FROM HERE «

( running is always a rush, no matter how far the distance, but it's always better when he's running with someone (especially with someone he cares about). he loves being able to share that rush, seeing it reduce people to fits of giggles or breathless awe. it may be something personal he offers freely, but with kate it's different. there's almost always a promise of something else at the end of the line.

his hands drift from her hair to her face, settling against her cheeks, warm and solid. normally, he might have something witty to say in response, but he finds the words get lost somewhere between his ribs, his heart thundering in his chest. the sentiment he wants to convey spreads through his face, his mouth curving upward as he leans in closer.

there's a question in his eyes, habit of spending so much time in eudio (and, well, just general decency) — is this okay? am i going too fast? can i kiss you? )

I'm all yours, babe.

2am;; un: bill.nye

[ Well, hey. Here's a little throwback moment for ya, Wally.

(It certainly feels like a throwback for Peter.) ]

psa: its 2 am

[metabolizes]

( he can't help but break out into a completely delighted smile, snorting an obnoxious laugh. this really is always going to be their thing, huh? (he wouldn't have it any other way.) )

( roughly five minutes later, though it's probably more like seven, wally finally responds. sometimes the science really takes over. )

ok lets get this clandestine 2am burger rendezvous started 😏🍔

( he skids to a halt by peter's room a minute or so later, a grin spreading wide across his face. )

Hey, so. I may or may not have been fiddling with the way the replicators, well, replicate things — mostly because, I'm serious, I really miss Chicken Whizees — and I think I got 'em programmed so they make a pretty mean space burger. If you'll follow me, Mr. Parker.

( he bows slightly, arm sweeping in the direction of the observation deck. if they're going to have 2am space burgers, they may as well do it right. and the mess hall simply doesn't have the right ambiance. )
