Just about, I suppose.

But it isn't just about Juno LIKING him. He's uncomfortable with the idea that he's hurting Juno.
That WE'RE hurting Juno. And I don't think he's wrong.

[compellingstatement]

[Jon can't pretend to be utterly blase about this given their situation with Martin before.]

I'm sorry.
Dealing with this from any side is wretched.
Are you in love him?
Adalwolfe.

[There's another lull in Peter's answers, though it doesn't take a full half hour this time. At most, it's a few minutes.]

Yes.
I realized it when we thought we had to leave.

[compellingstatement]

[That does complicate things. Jon breathes out.]

I can try talking to Hawke.
Remind him that someone else's emotions aren't actually his responsibility.
Or I could speak with Juno, I suppose.

[Tell him to stop being a jealous prick. Or at least be quieter about it.]

[rosebyanyother]

I appreciate that, but please don't do either.
Again, Adalwolfe isn't wrong and if anyone should be speaking to Juno, it's me.

And I will. Soon.

[He just has to do...something else first. Something he doesn't want to do very much.

[compellingstatement]

All right.
But I am here if you need me for anything.
Or if you need someone to talk to about it?
I can be here just to listen, too.

[rosebyanyother]

I know. I'll probably take you up on the offer soon.

[Really, he might not actually talk. But allowing himself to be upset about this in Jon's presence when he hasn't been able to be that around anyone else...Peter probably does need that.]

[compellingstatement]

I'll be here.
Just don't wait too long.

[They're words he's said to another boyfriend in a very different context... but he'd like Peter not to self-destruct, either.]
