Yeah, exactly. Hell, I could claim it runs in my family. My parents were
like twenty when they got married. And I mean the first couple years were
probably rough, cause of Jon, but they've been the only happy couple at all
those rich dick parties for longer than I've been alive.
Right? I didn't realize how rare it was for AGES and now... my dad's best
friend married the woman he was "supposed to" like my dad did, but they're
miserable, he's had about a million affairs and their kids are awful and
half of society is convinced they aren't his and that's more normal, it's
crazy.
[She didn't think any of that would be real news to Peter, but God
knows Arya can't pass up a chance to brag about somebody she loves.]
Have you ever told them how much you admire and appreciate their
relationship?
[Peter only asked because he wish he had the chance to tell Uncle
Ben that. Or his parents, he assumed they had a great relationship from
what Aunt May said.]
No, I haven't. I mean I do admire it but - I can't wrap my head around the
Jon thing and I think I'd be unable to avoid bringing that up and it would
just be bad.
[It was hard to reconcile, for her. Her parents clearly loved,
trusted, valued each other, but her father had cheated once and her
mother had been awful to Jon, even though it wasn't his fault, and it was
just weird for her to have all three of those facts in her head at the same
time.]
[Peter honestly didn't think about that all that much and he'd never
been able to bring himself to ask about it. Mostly because he just couldn't
picture Arya's dad being unfaithful and like Arya didn't really want to dig
into it.]
We can just take the good stuff we see them do that works for us.
I just... it doesn't fit and I want to understand and I know I'll ask about
it but I also really don't want to ask about it or understand.
[No, she didn't really want to dig into it. She was pretty sure all
her siblings had individually decided to think about it as little as they
possibly could, but, being so close to Jon, it was hard for her to put it
completely out of her mind.]
[Not that her parents couldn't be silly at times but they were
definitely not as silly as Peter and Arya. And that was fine, to each their
own, but Peter liked that about the two of them.]
Fancy dress to all night diners and Halloween costumes on random days and
who knows what else we'll come up with. Oh, Halloween costumes on Christmas
eve, that'd be fun.
Family appropriate ones with the kids, when that time comes - [And
look, it's even getting easier for her to say things like that in person,
she's almost made eye contact] - and the other kind for just us
until then and then after they've gone to bed.
Actually I guess we could just start BOTH this upcoming Christmas.
Uhh, wait, what kind of costumes are you thinking of that aren't family
appropriate?
[Because Peter was doubly interested in that idea now. Obviously
they wouldn't wear those sorts around their family but he was very curious
to know what kind of costumes she meant. Also it got them away from the
"when we have kids" part of that, even though she did well with it.]
Like the one I wore on Halloween. They do make Christmas themed ones. Or
your nurse costume. Or just carefully chosen bits of actually appropriate
costumes, now I think about it.
[Peter really liked when they did stuff that was "extra" sexy. Not
that she didn't have some regular clothes that made him lose his mind but
there was something about a special outfit that was fun in a different
way.]
Oh, yes, I noticed you did. Fuck, that was an excellent night.
[Arya's just going to need a couple minutes with that memory before
she said anything else.]
I guess I basically just think Christmas eve sex like that should be an us
tradition, alongside the other traditions we're setting up.
Hmm, that's a difficult choice. I think it's a three way tie between the
look in your eyes when I finally convinced you to rip it plus the actual
ripping, and when we fell asleep after round - which one was it? - and then
you woke me up like an hour later by rolling me over and dragging my ass up
into the air and sliding right back inside me, and the teeth marks you left
on the inside of my thighs. Or maybe the sound you made when I climbed on
top of you after all that. Impossible choice, really.

Yeah, that - and also like they're underestimating us as a pair or second guessing us. Who are they to get to doubt our commitment?
[That was fair. She didn't feel like she could completely explain why it did make her angry.]
no subject
I get it. Our brains aren't fully formed yet or whatever but... just because it's rare doesn't mean we aren't for real.
[And he wouldn't ever try and stop her from being mad about that because it seemed reasonable.]
Give it some time and we'll be a super awesome story about having met so young.
no subject

We're going to have such a great story.
no subject
Your parents are pretty great like that.
[Peter has actually learned a lot about love and relationships just by watching her parents.]
And it’s going to be the best story.
no subject
Right? I didn't realize how rare it was for AGES and now... my dad's best friend married the woman he was "supposed to" like my dad did, but they're miserable, he's had about a million affairs and their kids are awful and half of society is convinced they aren't his and that's more normal, it's crazy.
[She didn't think any of that would be real news to Peter, but God knows Arya can't pass up a chance to brag about somebody she loves.]
Of course it is, it's OURS.
no subject
Have you ever told them how much you admire and appreciate their relationship?
[Peter only asked because he wish he had the chance to tell Uncle Ben that. Or his parents, he assumed they had a great relationship from what Aunt May said.]
All time best story.

Oh. I guess that makes sense.
[Peter honestly didn't think about that all that much and he'd never been able to bring himself to ask about it. Mostly because he just couldn't picture Arya's dad being unfaithful and like Arya didn't really want to dig into it.]

Yes, we can.
no subject
Plus we'll do more silly stuff than them.
[Not that her parents couldn't be silly at times but they were definitely not as silly as Peter and Arya. And that was fine, to each their own, but Peter liked that about the two of them.]
no subject
Yes, we will.
[That was a pretty perfect response, in her opinion. A perfect redirection of her train of thought.]
We'll do WAY more silly stuff.
no subject
Like we'll wear weird outfits.
[Peter figured that talking about weird stuff they were going to do was a good transition.]
Or normal outfits in unusual situations.
no subject
Fancy dress to all night diners and Halloween costumes on random days and who knows what else we'll come up with. Oh, Halloween costumes on Christmas eve, that'd be fun.
no subject
Yes! THat should be a family tradition!
Costumes on Christmas Eve
no subject

no subject
What was your favorite part?
[Peter happily nuzzled her as she thought about that.]
We could get each other outfits as early presents?
no subject
Hmm, that's a difficult choice. I think it's a three way tie between the look in your eyes when I finally convinced you to rip it plus the actual ripping, and when we fell asleep after round - which one was it? - and then you woke me up like an hour later by rolling me over and dragging my ass up into the air and sliding right back inside me, and the teeth marks you left on the inside of my thighs. Or maybe the sound you made when I climbed on top of you after all that. Impossible choice, really.
no subject
Oh yeah. I was having dreams about your ass and woke up and just... I needed it so, so badly like that.
[And he was glad they'd had the "if you want to go for it in the middle of the night that's fine" conversation.]
no subject
I love it when you need it so, so badly. Especially when I get to just be completely surprised by it.
[She stretched, smirking not unlike the cat that got the canary, satisfied all over again at the memory.]
no subject
[He had to growl a little at the stretching and the memory.]
I like being able to surprise you like that! For lots of different reasons.
no subject
Where does getting to be inside me rank among those different reasons?
