@verdegrit : if you're gonna grab me like that, i need some sweet talk.
surely making exceptions to personal rules was alright sometimes, especially when his company carried enough chatter to fill the space for both of them. interesting it was, going from working together in their civilian lives to doing the same beneath respective costumes. peter was learning fairly quick how seamless a spider and a lantern could sing the same tune, their investigative trail for the night red hot and shortening fast. each stop and mild interrogation needn't any escalating and for once he wasn't bothered at the idea of companionship. never, when it came to kyle. except for when distraction crept in, shifting night's goals.
perhaps his first mistake was guiding the other out of his way by the waist, a thoughtless effort to clear space and continue taking the lead. his second was admittedly taking the remark that followed to the heart.
" c'mon, kyle, we don't have time for this- " oh, no you don't. ears caught a heel turn, the back of confident stride, the distance between them lengthening. his wrist took it's chance, aiming and firing at the other's waist and pulling him back over with only a flick. pure white lenses weren't any particular size, rendering the expression underneath difficult to read. free hand pushed the mask over his nose, he gave into the game. " fine. since tonight's been going so well? be good and keep that up. " gloved fingers moved to run themselves through the hair at kyle's nape, a playful ruffle more than anything. " and i'll pull out all'a the charm i keep in my back pocket after we're done here. just for you. "
