☕ - reassuring touch, gently squeezing his shoulder from Umiko -umi-no-koe
@umi-no-koe // TOUCH-STARVED MEME
Peter sits in the chair next to the bed, a lump in his throat that he can’t quite swallow. It’s the FIRST TIME he’s seen Kameyo since he’s gotten back– a part of him hadn’t even wanted to look. He knows this is his fault, knows that HE did this. Maybe it hadn’t really been him, but Peter could have stopped it before Kameyo got hurt, and he DIDN’T. And now she’s here, still in a coma after everything. After Peter went up to space, and DIED, and returned after the defeat of Thanos. A part of him is even surprised he’s allowed in here. He hadn’t thought Umiko would WANT to see him at all, but she greeted him with open arms, and has been dealing with….his troubles ever since. Coming back from DEATH isn’t that easy.
Neither is this.
He wants to look away, wants to get up and leave and STOP staring at what he did, but he can’t tear his gaze from her unconscious face. His hands grip the arms of the chair so tight his knuckles are white, and all of a sudden his eyes feel watery. That’s when a hand gently touches his shoulder with a reassuring squeeze, and Peter finally brings himself to look up, eyes landing on Umiko standing beside him. He’s overwhelmed with guilt, and even though she told him it’s okay, it doesn’t FEEL like it.
“I’m– I’m so sorry–”
