[Jon huffs a sigh and squeezes Peter's hand gently.]

Me, too. Some days.

[Not all or even most, but some.]

I'm trying to make it right where I can... just do better where I can't. Part of doing better is having a reason to be better. You've become one of them. So... thanks for that?

[rosebyanyother]

Well.

[Peter doesn't know how he feels about being thanked for this, the same what he didn't know how he felt about being thanked for not caring about Jon's asexuality. So: his tone is just a little bit light, even as he lifts his gaze and smiles a bit at Jon.]

I think I can count on one hand the times I've been someone's good influence. That's novel.

[...He squeezes back just the same.]

I would like to keep things a little more interesting for you. I'm sure you're fully aware that I'm an incredibly boring person with an ordinary office job and all that.

[It's all got to be quite a lot and he needs something to break the tension.]

[It does break the tension a bit. At least, Peter chuckles and finally drops Jon's hand. Though not before he brushes his thumb over his knuckles softly and fondly.]

Yes, you're very mundane. But at least there are other reasons to like you.

My glasses? I knew you must like them.
