He'd had a plan when he'd arrived here, one that hadn't included this side trip first of all, one that might have ended with him getting back together with MJ, but things had turned out different. And Peter'd had to make a choice, whether he was going to spend his time here waiting for something that might never come or if he was going to live the life that was directly in front of him. And well - he'd decided the immediate was the life he wanted, not some fantasy of a life that was out of reach.
And then there had been Claire, her arrival without pants in the middle of the street and Peter had kind of been gone over her ever since, even if he hadn't quite realized it then.
Huffing softly, his breath against her shoulder Peter let out a soft chuckle - he didn't need to see her face to know she was rolling her eyes at him. He hummed a pleased sound though when that was followed with a press of her lips to his skin a moment later.
"I would," He agreed immediately and easily, without a thought for all the little things that needed to line up just right for such a thing to even been possible, "If you'd still have me, back there - with a world of possibilities before you." Peter knew what he was, was a lot. It had been too much for he and MJ to navigate together. He didn't know if it was actually possible to be this with anyone, here though - in this place it was easier. He wasn't doing the real Spider-Man thing here, he was friendly and taking care of this one single neighborhood, but it was a far cry from fighting crime.
