John rolled his eyes and reached across and shoved Pietro's shoulder. "I was getting a drink, asshole."
He had another beer in his hand and then he tipped his head, catching the brunette's eyes again. "And what's wrong with being a little unavailable?" He challenged Pietro. "Something to be said for taking your time instead of going for just anything." His lips twitched into a smirk. "Not everybody's as quick off the mark as some." He was clearly teasing, given how relaxed his body language was and how his eyes shone.
The truth was that John? Had a lot of self-esteem issues. And those... well, they were hard to get over.
