“Um...” you drone dumbly at Peter. “I don’t know.”
He stares back at you. He looks scared, “you don’t know?”
“I’m sorry, I...” the raucous party rumbles on inside the walls. “I can’t think here.”
“Hey, let me grab my jacket, we can talk outside,” he offers. “Wait, where’s your coat? You can’t go out like that?”
You look down and realise you left your jacket inside. In fact, he took it. You shrug and he holds up a finger.
“Please, just give me a chance.”
You nod. What else can you do? He rushes back through the door and you turn away. You try to ignore the couple sloppily lapping at each other’s mouths.
You don’t know what to think. You can barely cling to a coherent thought. Bucky’s warning echo in your head. Isn’t this proof? There are other girls, not just you. Yet, you keep asking yourself why you care about them. Peter asked you to be his lab partner, not his girlfriend.
In fact, no one has ever asked you to be their girlfriend. Why would they? You’re quiet and boring. You shrink back against the wall and peer down at the floor. You should just tell Peter to go back to MJ.
He appears and your resolve rots away. He only has his coat. “Hey, I’m so sorry, I couldn’t find your coat. I looked all over. The green one right? With the orange buttons? I don’t know what happened but take mine.”
He holds you his jacket, “Oh, it’s fine. I can’t--”
“Now what kinda jerk would I be if I let you go cold?” He insists. “I’ll be fine. Really. I like the cold.”
You blink and take the jacket. You don’t like arguing. You already feel bad enough after barging in on him and MJ. You can’t stop thinking of it. God. It feels so... wrong.
He walks you down the hall. You’re both silent. You keep distance between you as you get to the elevator and ride it without saying a word. You go out into the lobby and as you get to the front door, you grab the front of his jacket and start to push it off.
“Please, keep your coat. I should go home--”
“Just hear me out, okay?” He begs and stops you from taking off the coat. “Please.”
You face him and dip your chin, “okay.”
He sighs. You peek up from under your eyelids. He smiles nervously, cheeks pinkening, and he shifts his weight on his feet. He clears his throat.
“Look, I’m an idiot. I went into that room with MJ. I know how she is. I’m not going to play victim here. All I can say is it won’t happen again.” His jaw ticks, “I’m a dummy. I was... I was so nervous about talking to you. I know you hate parties but I thought if I was drinking I could just tell you how I feel. And of course, it just made me stupid.”
Your mouth falls open. He can’t be saying what you think he is. Right?
Before you can respond, the door to the lobby opens and you look over as MJ struts out. Her long legs are toned in her heels and her short leather skirt. Her hair is perfect and her makeup brings out her natural colouring. She’s perfect and you’re wearing a pleated skirt.
You look at Peter again and deflate.
“Peter,” MJ approaches, “why’d you run off?”
“MJ,” he sighs, “I told you--”
“What did you tell me before you had my tongue down your throat?” She smirks.
“Stop,” he snips. “I said no.”
“But you didn’t stop me,” she scoffs. “And now what? You’re scurrying around with her? Really? Her?”
“Don’t be mean,” Peter steps between you and her, as if he’s trying to hide you.
“You call it mean, I call it honesty,” she chirps back.
“Get out of here. You weren’t even invited,” he snarls as he reaches back and latches onto your wrist.
“When did you turn into such a fucking loser?” She snips and shoves him.
He collides with you but takes most of the impact. She stomps out in her clunky heels as you turn to watch her. She doesn’t look back.
Slowly, you spin back to Peter, “are you alright?”
“Yeah, fine,” his shoulders droop. “Look, I get it. I screwed up. I don’t want to ruin the rest of your night. I already dragged you here. Just, take my coat, get home safe. Be done with me.”
His eyes twinkle wetly and his nose twitches. He looks like he could cry. As small as you are, he seems even smaller in that moment.
“You didn’t let me answer,” you say.
His forehead lines in confusion and his lips open wordlessly.
“I... I’m surprised is all. It’s been a weird night and...” You sway and fold your hands. “I’m kind of a mess myself. I really don’t do well in crowds. I know you know that.” You try to smile. “And I know it’s lame but... I really do try and...” you look away and your cheeks heat up. “I don’t think I would if I didn’t like you too.”
Another suffocating silence sucks the air out of the room. You fidget and stare at your boots. You wince as Peter steps closer. He surprises you as he pulls the jacket closed and does up the zipper. As the tab reaches the top, he taps your chin and you look up at him shyly.
“Can I walk you home?” He asks as he brushes his hand down the sleeve and tickles your fingers.
A full smile breaks through and you nod giddily, “sure.” You grab onto his hand, vibrating in vibrant excitement. Can he feel you shaking?
“You still cold?” He asks as he tugs you towards the door. You shake your head but as you step outside, he puts his arm over your shoulder and pulls you close. He walks you down the pavement as a blistering wind blows around you. “Gotta keep my girl warm, huh?”
“Your... girl?” You squeak.
He hums and squeezes you tight, “all mine.”

I just started animal crossing because my asd family member didnt want to start it alone and the little yellow dog reminds me of Art, i just unlocked a flower crown and i feel like im dressing him up. Thinking about how i want to buy Art cute little clothes and smooch his face
If they played games, what games do you think art, tashi and patrick would play/ have on their phone? off of the top of my head patrick would have some old school shit like fruit ninja
Omg imagine they all play sims, arts got a little garden, patrick is having affairs, getting the characters pregnant with alien babies, loves creating drama and watching social services get involved, tashi is putting people in square walls and removing all the doors and windows til they starve to death 😍
This is SO TRUEEEE
in terms of 2006 era here are my thoughts:
For Art: he still plays Pokémon ruby and emerald on his gameboy advance. Its beat to shit and gets hot when he uses it but it tucks into his gym bag or pocket so he always keeps that thang on him. He would also have flappy bird on his iPod touch in 2012 and he would take that so seriously……..
For Patrick; he LOVESSS his PSP and his PlayStation. He plays GTA and hits pedestrians with his car and goes to the strip club. He also plays rollercoaster tycoon on his laptop in class and builds rollercoasters that launch the passengers into the ocean or sky.
For Tashi: nintenDOGS 💜 Tashi has a pastel pink Nintendo DS and she plays nintendogs and diner dash <3 her dogs are a black schnauzer like her dog that’s named after him, a white chihuahua named Cookie, and a chocolate lab named Marco. also she runs cooking mama kitchen like it’s the fucking NAVY. In downtime at tournaments and stuff she whips her DS out and goes crazy.

Daily Log 2
Trying out (probably just temporarily) making short daily-ish notes about things, in an attempt to see if it helps me be more reflective or productive lol.
Activities: Much less than yesterday, felt sick and sleepy so barely got anything done. It was also warmer inside today.. Very much dreading summer. I still feel like the people who ~~ love warm weather sooo much~~ must also have central heating and air and are able to escape the warmth, or at least have cool airy houses where they can get cross breezes or something.. I just fail to see how ANYONE could enjoy sweating all day because it's like 75F indoors, etc. grrbb,,, the headaches, sleepless sweaty nights, constant physical discomfort, etc. The next few days look cloudy and rainy though so.. yEs.. haha HA
Got a new charger for my old 2004 nokia phone so it actually turns on now, and recorded myself going through the ringtones and games. I might add the footage to a currently not fully edited video of me also looking through other electronics (old phones, turbo twist math, etc.). I love old ringtones actually and if I were rich, I would love to collect old phones specifically just to have a catalogue of what they're like and all of the sounds they contain.
Managed to have a tiny burst of energy and take photos of 3 outfits before my arms and shoulder started hurting and I got too warm.
Sent email to one doctor.
Translated like 3 words for the Avirrekava poem thing I mentioned yesterday. My language document is not organized very well at all so I've kind of lost my flow of working on it. I've heard about people making searchable dictionary type things for their conlangs, so I'd like to look more into that maybe. As well as making a custom font, though I don't know if that's more difficult for syllabaries (so wouldn't be directly linkable to a plain english alphabet keyboard?? eh?). Anyway, I need to finish the tapestry/painting thing/etc. soon though since I have no good place to put it. The canvas is warping a little just laying haphazardly on my closet floor lol.
Made one quick mspaint background image for the next batch of song snippet things for my jokey music youtube.
Edited like 10 minutes of the Giant Worldbuilding Slideshow Project.. couldn't focus on that either since being at the computer today irritated my shoulders and arms.
Notable sights: Saw 6 baby ducks and their parents swimming in a nearby pond!! It's interesting how their colors seem to change so much, and the young ones have the little spots on their back. Not much else, I was not very active lol..
Goals moving forward: Still working on consistent sleep schedule. Focus on social activities, finding new friends in the places I want to move, communicating with ones I have. Physical therapy exercises. Plant nasturtiums. Finish and upload videos, edit pictures, post the poll adventure thing that has been sitting in a draft for weeks (I thought I would get it done today, but alas.. I don't even have to do much, just proofread and post it, I just keep having no energy/being preoccupied with other things/hurts to be on computer.. grrr.. I want to continue the story lol >:T).
Notable foods: HAD ASPARAGUS YEaaaaaghhhHHHH!!!!!!!!! Asparagus SQUAD!!!!!!!!!! ... Also a few pieces of smoked gouda with lunch, one of my favorite cheeses.
