"Sober is better," Peter agreed, he was a big fan of sober, particularly after it had been revealed to him just how stupid he could get when he wasn't. He didn't want to wake up regretting anything ever again especially not when it came to Claire or even John. This place was complicated enough at times without adding to it with anything like that.
Claire had been right that night, to put a pause on things, before they got carried away with themselves. Because Peter would have been all too willing to fall into bed with the both of them that night. But in the end it had been the better thing to walk John home and put himself to bed after without giving into that so they could all take a little time before moving on to anything more.
And he'd have said as much if Claire hadn't kissed him. But as it was the easy warm press of her mouth against his said more than enough. He lifted a hand to her face, his fingers fitting themselves against the curve of her cheek as he kissed her right back.
"Is it that obvious that I like him?" He wondered when he did finally pull back to catch a breath. As if he wouldn't have kissed John on his own that night.
