[ sam absolutely notices the sudden moments of tension. he's not exactly a peter parker reader, and he's absolutely certain there are people more equipped to be able to tell, but also? peter's not a great liar. like. at all. but there's also something about the lies that sam is starting to get a bit worried about. whether or not peter means for it to happen that way, concern swells.

but then sam has to remind himself - years. peter just lived through years. of course there would be things, beyond just suit-related, that he wouldn't want to talk about. maybe not right now, maybe not ever. and sam realizes he needs to respect that, and lets peter keep going. lets peter share what he feels like sharing, relearn his way through the streets. ]

MIT? Damn. I mean, I'm not all that surprised, with your whole thing. But hey- [ the seriousness in sam, here, is suddenly a lot more parental than authoritative. ] I get wanting to take a year off or whatever, but you need to make sure you're still living your life. Go to college. Go to frat parties. I know you've got the suit and it makes you think you're responsible, but you're not the only one out there saving people. [ listen to captain america, peter. he knows what he's talking about. ] Don't let it take over everything, you hear?
