The ‘fresh’ air of the city causes goosebumps to litter her bare skin as it blows into the apartment from the open window of her loft where Peter had climbed in from. They were both still a bit battered from the shit show that went down in Brooklyn, how she had agreed to break into one of the mafia leaders safe for information on something that they had been planning while Peter distracted them outside. Little did they know that they would have gotten caught up in the middle of a shoot out with the mafia and the cops, there was no information about a raid that either had heard about and well let’s just say not only did she have a few close calls but if Peter hadn’t been there she’s pretty sure a bullet or a few would have ripped through her.
Adrenaline is still racing through her body when he shows up to check in on her, they had to split up in the end, the police couldn’t get the chance to lock her up to, and she’s cleaning up the graze wound on her cheek that is still slowly trickling blood. Peter’s hovering over her in a second and it warms her heart how much he worries, she doesn’t deserve him or his kindness, and she’s barely paying attention to his worried filled words as he cleans her up. After a few moments, she reaches up and lets her fingertips ghost over his chin, cheek, temple before she’s tugging off his mask, she needs to see his face, see he’s really okay. And as soon as their gaze meets she’s leaning in and stealing a passionate kiss, a kiss that she’s trying to pour all her feelings into so she doesn’t have to speak. Not yet, just not yet.
