Chapter 16
Peter watches Wade in amusement as he tries out all the new add-ons. Wade has skin on all of the muscle tissue now, covering every part of him that's been regenerated so far. He's got eyelids and the upper half of his arm bones done. Wade gleefully tells the box to grab the remote and watches as he makes the box pause the movie for a second.
Wade is so grateful and happy fot this he actually forgets to thank Peter. He clicks play on the remote before rolling around to the kitchen. He rolls around for a little bit. He rolls over to Peter, who is lying on the couch with an arm under his head and watching the Princess Bride for what could possibly be the millionth time in his life, wait, scratch that, his billionth.
"Hey, so, Petey Sweety, first let me start off by saying thank you. You and your delicious ass are great and wonderful and fuckimg thank you," Wade states. Peter smiles in response, amusement clear.
"Why do you keep making it seem like me and my ass are separate entities?" Peter asks. Wade rolls his eyes and ignores this in favor of continuing his earlier sentiment.
"Anyway, baby boy, I was just wondering what the fuck have you eaten today?" Wade asks. Peter frowns, and Wade knows his answer.
"Nothing," Peter admits, a little tentatively. As if he feels guilty. He totally does.
"Peter!" Wade yells in a rather scandalized tone. Peter bites his lip and looks away.
"Sorry," he grumbles. Wade huffs.
"You're buying pizza!" He delcares. Peter's eyes go wide in horror.
"What? No! I don't have money for pizza!"
"I'll pay you back!"
"Wade, I literally have two dollars to my name! I have no money for pizza!"
"Then buy the cheap shit!"
"Wade!"
Wade responds with a glare and a dramatic speech about how great pizza is. Peter groans and finds some place with two dollar pizzas and orders, which makes Wade place a satisfied smirk on his face. Then Peter goes back to watching Princess Bride.
Wade's been with Peter for almost a week now, and they've watched it so many times he knows at least a quarter of the lines by heart, so he copies them with Peter. When Inego Montoya's famed lines show up, they all but scream it.
Peter hurries to answer his door and give the pizza man his last bits of money, dropping the pizza down on the coffee table. Opening the box and grabbing a slice. Wade tries not to stare jealously and falls into a ramble.
"Do you want some?" Peter asks, not even a minute into Wade's ramble. As if he knows Wade wants some, which he does. He can sort of interpret Wade's rambles and what they mean now.
"Yeah," Wade admits. Peter bites his lip in thought. Wade can't eat because even though he has the organs, he doesn't have his, um, nether regions or ass yet. Peter frowns, trying to come up with a solution. The pizza's actually pretty good, he's definitely choosing it from now on.
"It's fine, baby boy. Buy me some pizza when I can eat it and we'll call it a deal!" Wade responds in a strangely cheerful manner. Peter sighs in defeat, going back to eating. Though he is significantly more resigned and glum.
When they rewatch Princess Bride, he's pretty sure the neighbors can hear him and Wade screaming through the soundproof walls.
"MY NAME IS INEGO MONTOYA. YOU KILLED MY FATHER. PREPARE TO DIE."
