   → PETER’S EYES NARROW SLIGHTLY IN QUESTION AT HER STATEMENT; more an order than a question, and he supposes he doesn’t really have a CHOICE in the matter; he has to go shopping. He’s probably the WORST person for that job- after all, all he usually wears is sweatpants or SKINNY JEANS; no in-between, & he can’t see that CHANGING any time soon. So as she pulls up, he walks over to the passenger window, leaning in with a goofy grin plastered across his face. He’s questioning her motives.

         – “ I THINK YOU SHOULD RE-ASSESS MY SHOPPING ABILITIES, E. ” –

   He opens the door ANYWAY; he’d rather be held hostage by his friend in a shopping mall than not have friends at all, anyways- & he climbs into the car. He’s barely got a THING on him; he has his wallet & phone in his pocket, a HUGE camera hanging from his neck, but notmuch else. He’s probably dressed WAYYYY too casually for Elektra’s tastes, too; but hey, that’s her fault for sneaking up on him !

         – “ BUT I’LL TOTALLY WATCH YOU TRY ON CLOTHES FOR FOUR HOURS, IF          THAT MEANS YOU BUY ME SOME STARBUCKS. ” –

the car she has chosen is –– needless to say –– a statement in of itself. a red maserati that is bound to get heads to turn. what can she say? she still loves the extravagant life that comes with her money. plus, there’s nothing wrong with treating oneself for a day, and in that moment, she feels a little bit more generous than usual.

“it’s your lucky day, peter.” she takes off her sunglasses and places it on her dashboard. “the shopping is not for me –– it’s for you.” eyeing his clothes up and down, her gaze should be more than enough indication that she disapproves of the way he’s dressing. sure, it can be charming, but being a man in his thirties, he ought to put in more effort to dress up, especially if he’s ever going to get a job better than being a photographer.

                 ♚  THE KING HAD HIS PIECES ON THE BOARD AS HE   LIFTED UP   BEN’S HEAD    as hair was gripped tight. the unmasked boy was   UNCONSCIOUS    ----   and quite beat up in the same vein.  ben had come a little on impulse it seemed   . .  but it had been   beaten   into submission, that much was clear by the time   PETER  had shown up.  

❝       it    makes sense   that    RICHARD’S BOYS    would cause me the most trouble. its almost   ironic   that he’s still causing me problems even now   . .   but  . .        ❞ a trail off as his grip   tightens   on the hair within his grip ‘fore letting go, watching in quiet interest as it falls limply.

❝       now     ----   lets make a deal, hm     ??        ❞

   → A HEAVY, IRRITATED SIGH FALLS FROM SLACK LIPS, TIRED of arguing with his brother, tired of trying to make him see REASON. He’s a loose cannon at times, and even if Peter isn’t the best voice of reason, he still feels like he has to be SOME FORM OF IT. He doesn’t feel like watching the other die one of these days, & if that takes a bit of NAGGING, then so be it. Unfortunately, his twin doesn’t see it the same way, & so such conversations often led to crossroads like THESE.

         – “THEN STOP ALMOST GETTING YOUR DUMB ASS KILLED ! THIS REALLY          SHOULDN’T BE MY CONCERN, BUT IT IS ! ” –

                  🕷  BEN’S EYES NARROW AS HE RIPS OFF HIS GLOVES WITH HELD RESTRAINT.    the whole   ORDEAL   of tonight’s patrol came to a head the moment he was rushing in after being told   not to.   rushing in sometimes got the job done but   THIS TIME   it left him with a broken hand, what felt like   SPRAINED RIBS   and a twin brother that was currently snapping at him.  ben’s eyes roll as he glares at his twin after a moment, throwing the glove   AT HIS FACE.  

   → PETER’S HEAD ROLLS TOWARDS THE SIDE OF THE COUCH AS Miles finally speaks, groggily, having woken up. He offers a slight, equally-tired smile, and shakes his head, stretching one of his arms out in front of him until his elbow pops. Miles falling ASLEEP on him is the least of his worries, literally speaking. The kid is nice to have around, he GETS how Peter operates, & besides, the elder Spider can’t shake the feeling that Miles needs someone to watch over him.

   He’d volunteered a LONG time ago. He wasn’t going to back out now.

         – “ DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT. YOU OBVIOUSLY NEEDED IT. ” –

   Peter sits himself up slightly, looking over at Miles, hands clasping in front of him, elbows leaned atop his knees;

         – “ YOU HUNGRY ? ” –

                 🕸   THE TEEN RUBS AT HIS EYES AND BREATHS IN SHARP AS HE STRETCHES OUT UPWARD,    a strained sound leaving his lips as he does so. an eye closes as he deflates, readjusting his back some with a shift, followed by a cracking sound as he goes through with it. rubbing his face slight he looks over to peter, idly hearing in the back of his head the pop that came when peter stretches out. 

he fumbles for his phone that sat in his pocket, going through for any messages or alerts that may have anything to do with his father or any of the other    CHAMPIONS.    finding nothing he places the phone down    IN TIME   for his hunger to be called out.   

Who is a night owl: Both? Leaning more towards Peter because he does all his vigilantism at night.

Who is a morning person: Peter because the boy is allergic to nightmares I mean sleep

Are they cuddlers: HELL YES

Who is the big spoon: I’d like to say it switches but normally Peter?

Who is the little spoon: Again switches but normally Harry. Especially in verses where Harry’s still sick.

What is their favourite sleeping position: On their sides when they go to bed, one of them somehow ends up on top of the other when they wake up though, just a tangle of limbs.

Who steals all the blankets: PETER IS THE BIGGEST BLANKET HOG (he’ll deny it though)

What they wear to bed: Peter wears boxer shorts and little else unless they have company spending the night, I like to think Harry has a ridiculously expensive set of silk pjs.

Who likes seeing the other wearing their t-shirt: Both? I know Peter likes wearing Harry’s stuff but ADORES seeing Harry in his sweatshirts.

Who falls asleep mid-conversation: Hardcore Peter. The boy doesn’t get enough sleep

Who wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares: BOTH. Although probably Harry more often because Peter’s trick to avoid nightmares is not sleeping.

Who accidentally punched the other in their sleep: Peter. 

Who can’t keep their hands to themself: Probably Harry.

Who said “I love you” first: Peter.

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background: Both.

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror: Peter. Harry’s gotta know he loves him :D

Who buys the other cheesy gifts: Harry. He’s got the cash to burn.

Who initiated the first kiss: Harry. Peter’s too anxious.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning: Both, depending who’s up first.

Who starts tickle fights: I don’t know if they do tickle fights? I think Peter’s far too prone to accidentally start real fighting if he gets over sensitized.

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower: Both??

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch: Both dependent on the day, but usually Harry I’d think. Unless it’s in verses where Harry keeps Oscorp, than Peter is usually the culprit. 

Who was nervous and shy on the first date: Peter. 

Who kills/takes out the spiders: Harry. Peter ain’t risking another radioactive spider debacle

Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk: HARRY :D
