Peter noticed the other looking rather...not in order. "Um actually no. I figured you might need these." He grabbed the napkins off his own tray of food and offered it to the other. "Bad day I assume? Those can suck. Not always a good time. But not the worst thing that could happen yeah?" He gestured at the spill on their shirt.

“Right…that’s a mechanical hand isn’t it?” Peter asks as he finally took a chance to actually notice it. “How did you get one of those? Were you in a war or something?” The younger asked curiously.

“So what if I am sleeping? I can always wake up and put it out. Material possessions do not matter much to me my love. No matter what it is we can always work through or figure it out together. And if it is as bad as you try to make it sound maybe moving in would be even better since you will have someone to help watch if something were to happen.” Jack tried to reason with him. “We can always do a test phase too to make you more comfortable with the idea.”

"But what if you don't wake up? Or I light the bed on fire in our sleep and burn you? Or.." His mouth snapped closed, realizing he was spiraling a little and worrying too much. It was in these moments that he remembered why it was so impossible that this god-like being next to him should at all want to be with him. He bit his thumbnail as he thought, staring into the middle distance for a moment as he zoned out before looking up again sharply. "Test phase? What would that look like?"

“It would be fine because I can heal myself from whatever happens. It takes a lot to hurt a being like myself.” Jack reassures him. “Test phase so you move in for maybe a week or two and see how you like it. Of course you are still able to go home any time you want to but majority of your time you would be here. Does that make sense?”

Peter was not one to really want to do anything to do with halloween but he figured a corn maze might actually be fun. It always used creativity and he thought he could scare some people while in there but there wasn't as many people as he thought there would be. "Okay I admit it was a good idea. Getting lost wasn't that bad."

“I do not have such a problem with sweet food I suppose that is a good thing though. I hear that candy and all those other sweets can be rather addicting.” He tells her. “Although funnel cake is a rare exception for me. I can have a little of that and be happy.”

“What do you mean your fire isn’t safe? I think my powers can more than handle anything you have. I haven’t had issues with fire before and this way we can work on it together. You shouldn’t have to feel like you have to do this all alone.” He tells him with a worried look.

"It's fire. It catches on things and burns and...all sorts of things. Fire isn't safe in general." Aiden wrung his hands together, nervous just thinking about it. "I'm sure, but what if you're sleeping? Or you die of smoke inhalation, or something. I don't know." Looking down, he fidgeted, not sure what the right thing to do is.

❧ open to all ( @ivycovestarters ) ❧ a diner in town

"I think I will pass on the soup. Pie sounds pretty good actually. What flavor is it though? I can be rather picky when it comes to what flavors I actually fancy." She tells the other.

"What? Hurt me? Jack, no." Aiden shook his head, frowning as the other started to blame himself. "No no, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you. You're perfect, really. It's not that it's just..." Aiden fidgeted with his hands for a minute, getting up the nerve to admit before he finally spoke softly. "I'm worried I'll fuck it up. I know you're an...ice deity or something, but my fire isn't...it's not safe. So if I'm gonna burn a house down I'd prefer to be the only one inside, you know?"

“What do you mean your fire isn’t safe? I think my powers can more than handle anything you have. I haven’t had issues with fire before and this way we can work on it together. You shouldn’t have to feel like you have to do this all alone.” He tells him with a worried look.

Aiden looked startled, surprised by the change in conversation as well as by the offer. "I, um...what? You want to live with me. Jack, I don't know.." Looking down at his hands, he bit at his lip, wanting to say yes but also deeply concerned about burning jack's house down on accident. Yes his boyfriend had ice powers but, he knew from experience how fast he could ruin things. "I do want to, but let me think about it? I..it's been awhile since I lived with someone else."

“What do you mean? Do you think I would hurt you? I promise I won’t be some nuisance boyfriend if you move in. You can still do whatever you want to do.” He tells the other confused a little why Aiden might be hesitant about living together. It’s not like they didn’t know each other. He wasn’t a horrible roommate or at least he didn’t think he was…

FOR: open, @ivycovestarters

Kate had been feeling a little adventurous as she made her way to the nearby bar. Sitting next to the gentleman where there was an open seat she couldn't help but hear his question. She couldn't help but smirk to herself. "Are you trying to tell me this seat is taken or are you trying to intimidate me?" She asks playfully.

"I'd say they're all good for the most part." The anxiety was intense sometimes, looking at the etherial god-being that had decided to give Aiden attention and worrying that he would fuck it up. But he tried not to end up on that downward spiral too often. He leaned in close and pressed a soft kiss to Jack's cheek, pleased to see him so happy. "Everything else? Oh, I suppose work's been alright. Keeping busy enough to pay the bills at least. And...that's honestly about it. Honestly when I'm not with you I'm either at work or at home."

“I have been thinking about it and we have been together a while now. Why don’t you move in with me?” He asks as he was careful so he could gauge the other’s reaction to his words. I can handle the bills and etc. I don’t have to really pay them given my powers and how old I am.” Jack explains as he looks at the other with a smile. “I mean if you think it is too soon we can wait too. I don’t want you to think you have to move in with me either it was just a suggestion.” He rambled slightly.

Aiden's eyes widened a little at the endearment, not expecting love to be said at all but knowing by the way his heart felt like it was flipping in his chest that he was delighted by it. "Your love huh?" He smiled softly, pressing another kiss to his lips before pulling away. "No, it's just how I am when I'm nervous or excited. You're...you make me feel a lot of things."

“Hopefully it is good things I make you feel for the most part.” Jack smiled happily. “Besides that, how has everything else been? I know you have been doing things other than hanging out with me, obviously. So anything fun?”

"I mean it's always nice when they are able to choose you. I have a dog myself. He is the most adorable corgi." Kate adds with a smile. "Did you want to see a picture of him?"

Kate took out her phone and pulled up a picture of her dog. “He is the best boy. But he can get into trouble sometimes as most dogs do.”

Aiden blushed a little as Jack settled in so close to him, but his arm moved around the other to hold him close as he studied him warmly. "I don't know if it's that I like to talk about my feelings or if I just....nervously blurt them out. My mouth gets ahead of my thoughts and everything just...comes out. I think my brain sorta just...shuts down when you look at me or talk to me sometimes." He chuckled softly, his hand gently rubbing Jack's shoulder.

“Either way. It is adorable my love. I can’t say that I have experienced something like that before but it almost sounds like you have brain freeze and while I am the king of frost I do not think I hold that much power to do that.” Jack teases with a small laugh before giving the other a kiss happily.

"If you want to put it that way you can say that anything that doesn't have a mouth or voice won't lie to you. The outdoors, indoors, empty spaces..." Peter went on. "People don't have to necessarily judge others either but it is within human nature I suppose."
