The apartment
(At Peter's apartment) off-camera
Karamo: "So we all know that you are spider-man and stuff and also that you are trans but if you say anything on camera that you are not comfortable with sharing just ask any of our crew and we'll make a note of it so we can cut it out. The same goes for questions you don't want to answer. We're not here to make your life any harder, okay?"
Peter: “Okay, Thanks.”
(Peter's apartment building) on camera.
Tan: "So which one is yours?"
Peter: "7th floor and we are gonna have to take the stairs. The elevator is just an empty shaft"
Jonathan: "We have to go up SEVEN stairs?"
Peter: *looking down* "uh yeah"
Karamo: "And you do this every time?!"
Peter: "oh, no I usually go in and out by different means if you know what I mean."
Antoni: "but there have to be moments that you are forced to take the stairs. Like when you have a bag of groceries."
Peter: "oh yeah I guess. but super-human and all. It's not so hard for me I guess"
Tan: "jealous! but let's go up. I wanna see your closet."
This time the time skip is brought to you by Charlie's sister: Sydney! <(@_@)> She is not so fond of Him and Dee after they made all their clothes bright pink (don’t ask me how but they did it.
Peter: *swings open his door* So this is it. Home sweet home or whatever"
Tan: "I anticipated small but not this small"
Bobby: "Ah, lovely a mattress on the floor."
Karamo: "can we?"
Peter: "yeah of course do your worst"
*everyone goes to their interest thingies*
(Jonathan and in the bathroom)
Jonathan: "This is so small I barely fit" *goes to stand directly underneath the shower so Peter and the camera guy can fit as well* Please don't turn it on I don't want to get wet today"
Peter: *grins* "I won't i promise"
Jonathan: "Okay, so, what do you usually do with your hair and skin?"
Peter: "Not a lot. I use shampoo and conditioner once a week and I shower almost every day because of patrol. I really hate it though so I usually shower in the dark. I never really know which one of the 2 I grab first"
Jonathan: "Can I touch your hair? *peter nods* okay I think your hair is actually pretty well taken care of. I would cut it a bit to let it take shape but it looks good. You do really need to moisturize and stuff. Do you get breakouts a lot?"
Peter: "sometimes. Working with a mask on doesn't really help. and especially with Testosterone. it's getting better though. I tried using face masks but they made me think too much of the "lady nights" aunt may and I used to have. God, I hated those"
Jonathan: "well I can work with that thanks. now go to the others before they start pestering me"
(Antoni in the kitchen)
Antoni: "Do you have anything other than energy drinks and take-out in your fridge?"
Peter: "not really"
Antoni: "why not?"
Peter: "I have so many energy drinks because my metabolism is super fast so I need a crazy amount of calories to keep up. Those help. I don't have a lot of time to cook. I spend most of my mornings and afternoons at the compound working and studying. In the evening I go on patrol and I'm usually home around 1 am. By then I'm usually too tired."
Antoni: "But do you like to cook?"
Peter: "yeah I do. I used to cook a lot with my uncle. when he passed away it was either me cooking or take-out because m-may (his voice breaks a bit) really couldn't. every time she tried it ended in disaster."
Antoni: "and Mj and Ned told us something about pizza Saturdays?'
Peter: "That's a tradition of ours. Every Saturday we get together, eat pizza, and watch, well, queer eye actually. Shuri and Harley join if they are in the city. We used to make the pizza ourselves, they never ended up quite right but it was fun. then the oven broke and I never really got to replacing it so we just ordered. We tried to go to their places a couple of times but they both have siblings so it is packed. "
Antoni: "what would you think, if I teach you to make a good pizza and make sure you get a good oven"
Peter: "that would be amazing"
Antoni: "settled. Bobby get over here for a sec."
(Karamo and Tan in the hallway at Peters closet)
Karamo: "Hey Pete can you get over here? thanks. We were snooping around and found this *points at the drawer with medication* if you don't mind our asking, why do you have so many meds?"
Peter: "Oh, it's okay really. Uhm this is testosterone, those are my anxiety meds, that are my antidepressants and those are my sleeping meds for PTSD."
Tan: "So, you have depression and PTSD?"
Peter: "yes *plays with his sleeves* I have major depressive order. Have had that for as long as I can remember. Learned to live with it. Got PTSD because of Spider-man. It's a thing people don't always realize but actually, all of the avengers have PTSD. It sucks but we have each other. That helps. Plus Mj, Ned, Shuri, and especially Harley are amazing,
Karamo: "that sounds like a lot"
Peter: "I guess it is. I don't really know any better."
Tan: "Okay, so your clothes. I see only long sleeves. why?"
Peter: "I- I Uhm. I used to self-harm... It's okay now I am almost 9 months clean but I just am not really comfortable showing my scars."
Tan: "understandable. but have you been wearing long sleeves the entire summer as well? and if yes do you want to keep doing that? cause then I am going to be a bit creative"
Peter: "I don't know..? I mean I was actually wearing a lot of short sleeves at the beginning of summer. It was going really well until Harley and I went to a book shop, and we were looking for a present for his sister's 6th birthday in the child section but then a woman came up to us with her child and said to Harley: "have you seen what your sister did to herself?" and Harley was... Harley was amazing "Yes I know what my boyfriend did. but I am actually really proud of him because it has been half a year without any new ones"
*peter's eyes start to tear*
"and she walked towards me saying something along the lines of "filthy slut begging for attention" and then she walked away. After that, I kinda made the unconscious decision to stay away from short sleeves."
Karamo: "Can I hug you?"
*Peter nods and Karamo gives him a hug. Jonathan and Tan join in"
Tan: "That was just really shitty. And in no way your fault."
*after some more talking and jokes they all end up in the kitchen area.*
*someone knocks on the door and it opens*
Harley: *sticks his head in* Hello?"
Peter: *jumps up to hug his boyfriend* Hey! what are you doing here?"
Harley: "I missed you. plus I want some say in our new place."
*Everyone gives Harley a hug and they introduce themselves. Eventually spreading out again. Harley, Bobby, and Antoni are talking in the corner of the kitchen while Karamo, Tan, Peter, and Jonathan go through the deck of pictures Peter had laying on his desk*
Karamo: *gives Peter 2 photos. 1 of his parents and 1 of him with uncle Ben and aunt May* "hey. are these your parents and your aunt and uncle?"
Peter: "yeah. Those are my parents, I can't really remember them. And that is my uncle Ben and aunt may. They took care of me after my parents died. at least they did until..."
Jonathan: "So she is the one who kicked you out."
*peter nods, tears forming in his eyes while Harley holds him from behind (He, Antoni, and Bobby stopped their conversation when the others started about Peter's family)*
Antoni: "and she never had a moment when she turned her opinions around. or at least considered doing so?"
Peter: "No. I was out the moment I said the words. I got 10 minutes to pack and was out. The first few months I would go back every evening after patrol. Hoping she would reconsider and would let me back in. She never did. I stopped going but I don't think I ever stopped hoping."
*everyone hugs and the scene cuts of*
*(>0<)* This is Sam who now brings the time skip and is currently trying to break up the fight between Their older siblings Charlie and Sydney
(In the Fab 5 loft) on camera.
Jonathan: "Peter is pretty far in his transition already but you see that he's still kind-of uncomfortable with certain things. I hope that I can help him accept himself more and show him that he doesn’t have to let dysphoria rule his life."
Tan: "I hope that I can show Peter that that one shitty lady was special and that there are places he can wear short sleeves without any looks. If he isn't comfortable with that I at least want to show them some fancier ways to wear long sleeves and some different types so he has some variety."
Antoni: "I promised him that I would teach him how to make a good pizza but that's not the only thing I want to do. He mentioned his fast metabolism so I want to teach him how to make a quick and easy snack that he can make and take almost everywhere.
Bobby: "I want to create a nice home for Peter. but this time one that actually feels like a home. It seems like he hasn't had a space that really feels like home. I think because he didn't want to get attached. I've been there. but I want to try to help him let his fears go so he can find some actual comfort. And, of course, I'll make it functional for both Him and Harley.
Karamo: "Peter obviously has a lot of shit going on mentally. I want to help him find peace with what happened cause it's clear that he's still shaken. and understandably so. The most important adult in his life threw him out for his identity at 14. This can seriously f*ck with you. I want to try to give him the closure he needs.
*Karamo picks up a phone and calls someone* Hey! yeah, Karamo speaking. I Have an idea but for that, I need your blessing"
