Peter shifts himself on the bed so he's sitting on the side of the bed rather than the end of it. He doesn't like it when Alec acts like this. It's not right and it makes Peter not feel quite right. But it's what's happening and he can't control the way Alec is acting. The only thing he can control is the way he's acting. And he should have done a better job of that the other day.
"I know that you're worried about me," Peter says, because reflecting upon their fight the other day, that's really what it was about. It's weird for him because he had specifically chosen Alec to gush at because Peter thought he didn't care. Peter was okay with the idea of Alec not caring and he was okay with the idea of Alec caring, but the latter was such a foreign concept to him that it was disconcerting. Like trying on shoes that fit perfectly yesterday and suddenly discovering that they don't fit.
"But when I go back, whether or not I remember everything here or not, I'm going to go there. I'm going to fight with Mr. Stark. I'm going to meet Mr. Star-Lord. I'm going to fight Thanos. I'm going to do it because it's the right thing to do. I'm going to do it because if the bad things happen and I don't do anything -- those bad things, they happen because of me."
