"Okay."

Peter's not sure what else to say. Lately, it feels like he doesn't know what to say a lot of the time. He wonders if this is what adults do. Not young adults like him, but adult-adults. Do they talk everything out like this? Are things always this awkward and uncomfortable? He never used to have talks like this with Ned, but the two of each other seemed to understand each other implicitly. There were times when he didn't have to say anything at all and Ned just understood. And he understood Ned like that, too.

Even though Alec said he was fine with talking, it feels like he doesn't want to. It'd be awkward for him to just sit there, so he should probably find somewhere else to hang out for awhile until it doesn't feel awkward. Peter's not sure when that'll be. He wonders if Alec feels the same way and that's why he keeps leaving. Maybe it was better that they not be roommates at all.

Peter pushes himself off the bed and thumbs towards the door. "I'm gonna go down for coffee," he says. "I'll be back later."

He wonders if Alec will be here later.
