he comes late to the date again with a big scratch on his arm, the same arm and scratch Spider-Man got from his resent fight 2 minutes ago Hey sorry I’m late babe I had to-
I see him come in with a scratch on his arm and know it’s not from me because I didn’t touch him today what happened to you?!
he looks at the scratch Oh this? I- It’s nothing don’t worry about it
he says with a nervous laugh and tries to change the subject as he grabs your hand and leads you to a table for two in the corner of the restaurant
I look at him and then look away just go...
he grabs your wrist gently to stop you from walking away Hey babe I’m sorry what’s wrong?
Peter.. where were you? i asked looking at him with a raised eyebrow
he takes his jacket off and sits down at the table uhh well… something happened on my way over here, but it’s nothing to worry about. How have you been babe?
looks at arm what happened to your arm?
he looks at the scratch and then tries to hide it behind his back trying not to worry you Oh uhh I just- hit it on a wall while doing some work around my apartment its nothing serious
I look at him what happened?
he looked nervous but tries to hide it Ohh this?
he chuckles a bit
Just uhh- I tripped on the sidewalk and fell.. that’s all
save the day again? I look at him knowing it’s true
he notices the look on your face No no, I uh- I had some work stuff come up last minute I swear
looks at him where were you really?
he looks at you with wide eyes realizing he messed up uhh I just-
I shake my head Peter.. it’s okay.. I chuckle softly Go ahead..
he sighs and sits down in front of you I just- had to do something real quick and then I got here as soon as I could but- he looks down at his arm that’s still bleeding a little bit
... crosses arms looking at him pissed off where were you?
I was just… helping an old lady cross the street! he says nervously trying not to give himself away
looks at him angryly Peter...where were you?
he sighs knowing he got caught I uh-
he fidgets with his hands, not making eye contact as he looks at the ground
I was uh- out
i sigh Peter where were you?
he looks down at the ground knowing he will have to lie again I was just... I had to- I uhh
he can’t think of a lie and looks back at you, you can see the lie in his eyes and he knows that you know
I look at him my eyes full of hurt and sadness why do you always come home late Peter
he looks at you noticing the look in your eyes, he knew what that meant I…I’m sorry babe i just have a lot of things to do
he rubs the back of his neck knowing this excuse was getting old real quick and would soon not be believable any more
