Chapter 5
Peter awoke with a start to the tapping. He looked outside to see... "Wade? What the fuck are you doing here?" he said, sliding the window open. "Here to rescue you of course baby boy" Wade responded with a wink, shimmying in the window and sitting beside him. Peter grimaced slightly. " Thanks but I don't need it. I'm just gonna ride out the punishment, make it easier on myself. By the way if my dad finds out you're here he'll kill you." Wade chuckled at that. "Yeah something tells me he won't have much success" "you know what I mean." Peter shot back. There was a short silence "Matt's worried about you you you know." Peter sighed frustatedly. "Fuck." He didn't have his suit which meant he didn't have his burner and his burner was the only place he had Matt's number. "He send you here?" "No...well maybe but I was gonna come over anyway." Wade looked over at Peter. "I'm worried about you too you know. You seem... rattled. Matt said you seemed different than usual when you came to him last night. More....out of it. Anything happen?" Peter rubbed his face. "Nothing more than usual. He inhaled deeply. "Thugs just got a little....handsy this time is all." "Oh." "Yeah. Just threw me off a bit. I'll recover." Peter smiled lightly but Wade could tell by the look in his eyes those deeply this was affecting him. "You know you can talk to me right?" Wade offered. "About anything. Not just superhero shit but... anything." He moved his hand over to touch Peter's slightly. A bright blush spread across Peter's face at the contact. "I- I know" He managed to stammer out. "Hmm. Ok baby boy." Wade winked again. "I'm going to inform the Devil of Hells kitchen that his favourite underage vigilante is alive and well." "Appreciated. Tell him I'm sorry too please. And say hi to Frank he's bound to be around there somewhere" "They're fucking right? Like I'm not the only one who thinks that?" Asked Wade, fully sincere. "Oh definitely." Peter replied with confidently. The two laughed lightly. "Ok. Bye Wade" Peter waves, a light blush still evidenced on his face. "Bye Petey. Text me when you're back on the prowl again. "Will do."
