Literally a year later and I finally update How to Spend Time With Family. I'm so sorry it took so long.
In this chapter: Charles has separate talks with Peter (who hates it) and Erik (who hates himself).
---
Peter's never been one to hold onto grudges, or even draw out spats or want to continually harass someone past a few minutes, because, see, doing anything for that length of time requires a whole lot more effort and attention and normal person time than Peter really has or wants to spare, like there are so many other things he would rather be doing than wasting it on someone who can't even get on his level, so really what would be the point.
When someone annoyed him in class, he stole all their pencils or tied their shoelaces together and called it a day, maybe even stuffed their locker with soggy toilet paper, but only if they were still being an asshole after the first warning, because once the deed was done, Peter had other and better things to occupy his mind with, and if the other person was still on their same brand of bullshit, well, that was on them. Peter had moved on and grown up and gotten a fucking mortgage by the time high school hazbins even caught on to the fact that they'd been had.
(Honestly, that was Peter's general opinion on high school, anyway.)
And that was just how it went, and continues to til this very day.
Everyone is lightyears behind him so much so that dealing with any back and forth exchange better be at least entertaining if he's going to continue to go back to it in between all the stuff he wants to do, like running and finishing his stack of comics and beating every arcade game in the tri city area and shoving five whole Twinkies in his mouth and so on and so forth.
So, no. Peter is not one for grudges.
