Peter sorta wishes he'd let Alec just make up a daydream about girls or money or something.
"I have this daydream sometimes, where I'm applying for colleges and I don't let Mr. Stark know where I'm applying because I really want to get in because of my own merits and not because he had some extra pull," he says. "I go into Columbia for the college interview and I'm not freaking out at all. I'm confident and all my answers are exactly what they want to hear and I know it."
Peter nods lightly. His eyes are opened, but set on a fixed point, like he's watching it all play out in front of him, like on TV.
"Two weeks later, I get the acceptance letter. I've got a full scholarship and May doesn't have to worry about anything. And it's close by so I can commute so I can still live with May and protect Queens."
He looks over at Alec and doesn't say anything. Not because he doesn't know what to say, but because he doesn't really have anything else to. Sometimes, even this daydream feels completely out-of-scope, like taking on alien forces or winning Mr. Stark's approval.

But what else were daydreams for?
