warnings: TBD
status: In progress.
If there was one thing that was true about Peter Nureyev, it was that he was far more observant than was good for him. If there was another thing that was true, it was that he was occasionally completely blind to the most important things. So while Peter had recognized Juno's issues with his sense of identity and lack of self-worth, he hadn't realized exactly how bad both of those things were. Juno's response to a rather simple question, one that Peter had been itching to have answered ever since he had woken up in that hotel room alone, had been... a lot to process and far more than he'd felt entirely comfortable responding to through such distance. After all, he knew Juno. He knew him far more than anyone should be able to claim about someone after such short an amount of time. But he still knew him enough to know that words spoken through a comms device would have come off empty, hollow, like some piteous reassurances only made because of guilt or feeling like you owed him some sort of debt.
Which was why he'd asked where to find Juno. Things were always so much more sincere face to face, easier to put across as being important and unarguable. And as much as Peter expected Juno to argue with him on so many points, he intended to make it clear that he wasn't going to accept any of them. It was up to Peter to decide who and what he deserved, who or what he was worth, and quite frankly, he was insulted that Juno didn't think enough of himself to believe that he would be good enough for a thief, a conman, and an outright criminal. To say Peter deserved more when Juno was the one who did so much more to make the world a decent place was just... baffling, to say the least.
And as Peter approached the place he'd been directed to, he had ever intention of making sure Juno understood that. Even if it took all night.
Especially if it took all night.
