Peter Parker & Klara Coulson
Peter was more than a little excited to be spending New Year's Eve with Klara. Maybe he should have been spending it with his family - Pepper and Morgan, anyway. Ryder was here at the party, too. But honestly, he needed this. Maybe a new year meant things would get better.
He had promised Klara they'd only stay as long as she wanted and he'd meant it. He'd gotten a few video games in and had gotten some of the snack foods. But her comfort was his top priority. Never mind that he was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of people. And wow, there were a lot of people. It had never used to bother him before but these days... Ugh.
So he showed back up at Klara's side, touching her hand lightly. "How're you holding up?" he asked, offering a small smile. While he wasn't quite brave enough to say they were a couple, he thought maybe he could safely say they were something outside of friends. And even as her friend, her comfort had always been a priority to him. Now it was just...a bit more, was all.
