Peter shuts the door behind him and when he turns around, he sees Alec's pack on the ground not far away from him. He takes a few steps forward, the sound of the shower finally registering to Peter's ears.

He dampens his lips and tries to steel himself. This isn't combat, but somehow, it feels like it is. Or like it will be.

He sets his backpack down next to Alec's and sits down on the edge of the bed.

He's still sitting there when Alec comes out.
