Re: quicklog: jason t/gwen s
[Jason didn't know why Gwen tipped a little bitter there, whether it was about Tony or something else entirely, but it didn't pass beneath his notice. Nothing really could, with Gwen, if things were ever going to be different.] Stark would build just about anything for people he likes. [As far as he knew, that hadn't changed with Gwen, unless they'd had some sort of falling out that he hadn't caught wind of yet. He'd been out of her life enough for the past month that it could be the case.]
No wonder he doesn't let you order. [He sliced into a pancake with his fork, and slid the bacon on its little blue-rimmed diner plate over to her side of the table, tofu cheese be damned.
Jason wasn't the world's biggest fan of Peter Parker, a feeling he was aware was entirely mutual. He did have enough respect for him, however, to assume he wouldn't really have ditched Gwen just because he felt weird about being tugged between her and Mary Jane. The guy was a hero, after all. There were crappy heroes out there, and Peter came off as a little bit the self-righteous kind, but he seemed like he actually cared about Gwen, whatever his actual feelings were. It wasn't a mark in his favor that he hadn't gone, though, whatever it was he'd intended.]
I messaged him when you didn't answer me. [He took a bite of his pancake.] I think he was going to meet you at the door, but I didn't find out in time to tag along. [If he had known, he probably would have gone straight through. Jumping into dangerous doors without asking too many questions sounded like something he'd do, however stupid. In things like that, his head never ruled him. That was part of the problem.
He listened as she talked about Flash and Mary Jane, and he picked up his coffee cup, wrapping both hands around it. This was edging into dangerous territory - but preventing it wasn't there wasn't going to stop it from coming up, was it?] I don't know if you want to hear what I think about her.
