ᵗʰᶤˢ ᵈᵃᵗᵉ circled for the last two months . 𝒇𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 sneaking up on them ... five years completely sober , since the last time he & peter had talked about these meetings , 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 how much help they could actually do . but these floors 𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚍 & marked with jasper’s stressed footprints , pacing back & forth more than once fretting about his life to fellow ex - addicts . ɪᴛ ʙᴇᴄᴏᴍɪɴɢ ᴀ sᴀғᴇ ʜᴀᴠᴇɴ , a home from home . to be trusted & respected . 𝑡𝘩𝑒𝑟𝑒’𝑠 𝑎 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑖𝑛 𝘩𝑖𝑠 𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑠 ; ʳᵉᶠˡᵉᶜᵗᶤᵒᶰ forced with friend’s congratulations ; even a tray of cupcakes brought for the anniversary . ( ᵗʰᵒᵘᵍʰ ... 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 — peter’s spirits seeming to have dampened in the hours he patrolled this afternoon . ) 𝚟𝚊𝚐𝚞𝚎 , unnamed feelings circle around his gut . too close to unfamiliarity with husband .
the meeting goes by as it often does ... ( you 𝖋𝖊𝖊𝖑 every moment . every story of rock bottom ᵇᵘʳᵈᵉᶰ ʸᵒᵘ with understanding . in those moments your hand felt for peter’s . late or not , he was there . ) somewhat 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 , jasper’s fingers pull down cupcake liner — eyes raising to meet his beloved’s for just a moment ... just the soft overlapping of other people speaking , the last five minutes to enjoy the shitty free coffee & talk about something NORMAL . ❝ hey . ❞ elbow nudges into peter’s , brows knitted together with the 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧. ❝ ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ᵃʳᵉ ʸᵒᵘ , huh ? in your head . s’like you’ve been 𝑧𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑢𝑡 all night . ❞
