"I never really thought much of myself." For Peter? :3 - Heroes anon
I heard how Peter let out a chuckle of disbelief next to me.
“That was incredible, Y/N!” He uttered as I lowered my hands, finished with using my powers.
“Thanks” I shrugged feebly, focusing on not locking eyes with him.
“What’s that shrug about?” He asked, moving closer to me.
“I never really thought much of myself” I simply replied, not really wanting to hide my insecurity anymore.
For a moment, my comrade heaved a few deep breaths to recover from the action we had just left behind. Then he stared at me with the surprise crossing his features.
“But you are great! And your powers...”
“It’s not that great, Peter” I reluctantly tilted my head to glance at him. “No big deal”
“I’ve had your powers, in case you forgot” He chuckled, surprisingly supportive and insistent. “And they’re not easy to control and cope with”
I smiled a little, moved by his kind words and determination to let me know.
“You shouldn’t feel so insecure, you’re an amazing person” His hand gently rested on my shoulder, slightly going down to rub my arm.
I was pleased seeing that this boy I had recently met was so kind-hearted and genuine felt all the lovely things he said about me. Maybe because they were true, or he thought them to be.
“Thank you, Peter” I flashed him my sweetest smile, which he reciprocated.
The both of us were flustered by the sweet and intimate moment, so we shyly looked at each other as we began walking away.
