[ Oh my god Louis is so excited. ...It's honestly nice that someone's excited for him, though? Peter's just kind of covering his face for a moment, taking a little bit to process. Talking about his feelings is strange, but it's not necessarily a negative feeling. Not at all, actually. It's justβ new, and it does make him shy, but there's a happiness there, too. A soft little feeling associated with exploring things for the first time, things Peter has never gotten to do before. It's all quite innocent, and simple, but it still means a lot to him.
...Except he's Peter and that means his worries are always there not too deeply under the surface. And his nerves are shifting form from the pleasant little butterflies in his stomach, to the... other sort. The feeling of twisting in his stomach instead, anxieties squirming around. ]
Honestly.... I don't know I'd like to hang out with her alone I mean we hang out alone together all the time But on like a date?
I don't know if I should Like it'd be weird for me to do stuff like that, right?
[ Considering he's.... well. He's got those problems, you know, just a case of demonic possession and all. It seems wrong to even consider doing something so normal and fun with someone, even something like a harmless little date with a good friend. Like that kind of thing isn't for him. Getting closer to people... he shouldn't try to, right?
....And yet the relationship he shares with Luna just kind of transcends the concept of having to try at all. They're... a team, some kind of really important, special team. ]
She deserves to go on one and have fun, though I want to do things that make her happy So I'm.... torn about it
[Sorry, Peter, his own girlfriend is literal worlds away. He has to get his kicks somewhere and you've dropped this neatly into his lap. Besides, he genuinely wants Peter to be happy. Hell, Louis knows it's not easy finding happiness when your life is a festering pile of garbage. You have to take it where you can find it.]
no? why would it be weird i mean i get the Thing and all but i'm pretty sure that's not gonna be a dealbreaker for her she's a witch right? pretty sure she's coped with some WEIRD ass shit in her time
besides you deserve to be happy too why not kill two birds with one stone and be happy together? especially if being together makes you both happy
No you're right, she's a witch And she's dealt with some really weird stuff before She's not easily scared off from things, honestly she's.. like the bravest person I've ever met
[ Just some more gentle gushing over Luna's Greatness; this is fine. ]
I don't know though I'm not even sure what going on a date with someone even means Like I don't want to put some kind of weird pressure on anything I think she's probably the best friend I've ever had But it would be nice to take her out Just to have fun and relax, somewhere safe
I already found a good place, I think? I heard the arcade was nice and safe
[ ...It sure sounds like Peter already was forming plans for this and just kind of needed one last round of Talking It Out with someone else who isn't just his own mind. Because his own mind tends to be very negative and shut him down quickly. But sounding it out against Louis? This is... this is really nice. He's still Riddled With Worries, but he's starting to feel those pleasant fuzzies again now. ]
I don't think they have stuff like that where she's from, so it could be fun? I think she'd like playing games
see? and she's not gone running from you yet, right? that strongly suggests to me that she's not about to bail on you and you can go easy it doesn't have to be mad declarations of love right away feel out the waters maybe a little flirt here or there and maybe once you feel comfortable ask her for a really simple date
like yeah the arcade! it's super low pressure you can just have fun together and don't have to do the couple stuff and you can teach her a thing or two toes counts as bonding
[He will happily be a romance sounding board for the rest of his days. ]
She doesn't know about the Thing yet She knows I go weird sometimes, like uh. Have "attacks" But not the Thing exactly
[ Actually, unbeknownst to him, although Luna might not know it's a demon inhabiting his body, she has in fact talked to Paimon and is one of the few people who actually knows his name. Peter...doesn't even know that much yet. Somehow it's suiting that Luna actually knows more about this than he does. ]
But she hasn't run away yet, you're right There's a lot I need to tell her I just need to figure some things out first
Flirt?? Please tell me you're joking We don't all have your charming charisma
But thanks man, I do honestly appreciate the feedback I don't know what I'm doing. Ever What kind of things did you and Clem do together?
well that's okay i mean that's gonna be a long convo i'm sure it'll be fine tho i mean she seems pretty chill? just take your time with it figure shit out together
dude if you think i am any good at actual flirting i have some bubbles to pop like i was so bad at it so so so bad like "lol you drew a heart around out initials but MAYBE IT'S A POTATO???" bad
well back home we couldn't really do regular dates because apocalypse and everything our first date was literally sitting on the floor of her room eating stale pretzels with a single candle for ambience but in wonderland we went to the movies couple of dances went bowling hung by the lake- picnics are a great date idea fyi normal stuff just as a couple
[ Luna is very chill about things, and... honestly, deep down, Peter doesn't feel that she would turn away from him because of this? He just... doesn't. He knows she wouldn't. They've been through so much together, and their relationship is.. strong. He trusts her.
It'll come in time. He knows Louis is right. ]
Wait What's this about a potato You thought she drew you a potato, or she thought you drew her a potato?
That sounds really nice, though Just hanging together however you could
[ Stale pretzels or not. It's... nice. Really nice. Those little moments of spending time together in an environment where so much is at stake.... Peter's realised how that is, too. He and Luna have snagged little moments inbetween all the terror of this place. Which is one reason he really, really wants to hang out with her sometime when things aren't all horrifying. School doesn't count. ]
Do you have anything of hers here with you? Or any photos of her
[Depsite it being horribly embarrassing, Louis will never not tell the Potato Story.]
okay so back home me and Clem were having a quiet moment in the music room before we actually became an item she and i carved our initials into my piano then she drew a heart around them but i thought it was a potato and said so out loud she thought it was hilarious so bonus points for me and it made a great first valentines gimmick in Wonderland i left her a trail of potatoes around the mansion sure like twenty other people followed it too but it was still romantic as fuck
and it really was nice it's good to just have quiet moments too
[School never, ever counts.]
yeah i do! i got her picture in one of those boxes we got at christmas gimmie a sec
[ Peter's not one much for like.. romance things, but this? This is really really cute. And really really Louis.
He left an entire trail of potatoes ]
Holy wow dude That's incredible I wish someone would leave a trail of vegetables for me
[ He's laughing in amusement at the mental image, but it shows the degree of thoughtful that Louis is. And ahhh he's just looking at this photo for a long moment because it means something that makes his chest ache a little. Missing her must be so incredibly tough. ]
She is completely adorable, and yet I can see the Badass in her eyes at the same time You two make a really cute couple, man
