Well, I mean—

[ ...she actually might have a point. He hesitates before turning toward her, leaning back against the counter and the bottle twisting in his hands. It takes him a moment, but he parrots back her words: ]

Just wasn't sure you had much to miss, is all.

[ Considering the amount of unguarded moments they shared probably could be numbered on one hand. He says it without any bite, though – just a flat statement of fact. ]

[ She huffs a light laugh at hearing her words thrown back at her, fixing her gaze down at a suddenly intriguing spot on the table, mostly just avoiding eye contact. ]

Don't know. Mostly I kept wondering what you were up to, or if we'd still run into each other if I hadn't said everything that I said, last time. That kind of thing.

[ He watches her before a few dragging steps bring him back to the table. ]

So... what happens now? Where do we go from here?

[ His movement bids her to look up at him, even as she's slumping in the chair a little and shrugging her shoulders. ]

You tell me. What do you want out of this? If it's someone to share a drink with at a bar every now and then, I'm cool with that, but I'm open-minded. I already told you what I thought last time.

[ Which was that she felt attracted to him. She realizes, of course, that this is new territory to Peter, so she doesn't say it outright again this time around. ]

[personal profile] nostalgiabomb 2016-08-22 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
... Right.

[ Admittedly, "last time" didn't go over so well, but he doesn't say as much.

He slowly slips back into his own seat, leaving the bottle on the table's top. ]


How 'bout we just— try the friend thing for now?

[ Now, at least, she can offer a little smile.

That's... a little bit of a relief, actually. In spite of what she's said now and even before, she doesn't actually know what she would do if he said pretty much anything other than what he'd just said. It hasn't been that long since Keiji died, and--it would've been easier to fool around, maybe, if she knew he wasn't expecting anything else out of it. But the friend thing casts a different light on things. Still--that, she can do. That, she actually feels ready to do. She actually sighs. ]


Sure. Yes. We can do that.

...Right?

[personal profile] nostalgiabomb 2016-08-22 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
I think so.

[ Well, that's the hope, at least. His answering smile is slight in return, almost shy. ]

I mean... assuming you're willing to cut me some slack. I'll probably need an adjustment period.

[personal profile] stealwithit 2016-08-22 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. No slack at all for you. Either we're doing our nails together and talking about boys right away or I'm out.

[ That surprises a laugh from him. ]

You don't do anything halfway, do you?

[ Kasumi, in turn, flashes a smile at him. ]

I'd be pretty terrible at my job if I did, Star-Lord.

[personal profile] nostalgiabomb 2016-08-22 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
I, uh, think it might be best if we leave the code names for when I'm actually on the clock, if it's all the same.

Not even on your own ship? Alright. Your place, your rules.

[ He lifts a shoulder in a shrug. ]

I make a point of keeping my work and personal life separate.
