[Peter's not the most romantic, it's true. His timing is bad, he's pretty poor at gift-giving, bad with communication and almost perpetually later. He's aware of all of this and it's pretty amazing that Gwen puts up with it, but.
When you wake up to an annoyed girlfriend after kind of a bizarre out-of-body experience and try to make it up to her, only to have the guy you're sorta bummed about be invited on your date--? Pete might not be a relationship genius, but that's a real mood killer.]
No, no, um, it's-- cool. Next week is just perfect.
[Since he doesn't want to meet Finnick at all, next week is just as good as any time. Like medicine; just get it over with.]
Just shoot me a text or something on where I should meet you two. When you know, I mean.

[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-27 05:38 pm (UTC)[ Unhappy girlfriend is unhappy. ]
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-27 06:16 pm (UTC)[HEY, SORRY, OKAY? He didn't know that becoming a kid and falling into a coma were as normal as the common cold around here.
He had to be reminded that he'd missed Valentine's Day.]
I was wondering if... we could hang out, or something?
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-27 10:09 pm (UTC)And do what?
[ You better impress her or this relationship is on the rocks. She gets her mean streak from her daddy, fyi. ]
[Voice] /backdated to before the event, btw!
Date: 2013-02-27 10:17 pm (UTC)Okay. So Valentine's Day is really important to girls.
Noted.]
Look... uh.
[How to put this?]
I fell asleep. For a week, or something, I don't really know what happened.
I thought we could, you know. Go on... um, a date. To uh...
Well, it was Valentine's Day.
[The best he can do. He feels bad about it; no one expects
The Spanish Inquisitionpost-childhood sleep-comas.][Voice] missing all that event goodness
Date: 2013-02-27 10:21 pm (UTC)She was cockblocked. ]
So you did plan something for Valentine's Day?
[ You aren't a complete failure? She has misjudged you. ]
[Voice] He'll be up on that too, but pretend this is after he woke up sob. Life is busy.
Date: 2013-02-27 10:26 pm (UTC)[NOPE.]
...Well I would have-- [Possibly.] --If I hadn't been seven years old.
Been having kind of a rough month, sorry.
[Voice] He can make it up to her by bending over.
Date: 2013-02-27 10:29 pm (UTC)[ You said you didn't have friends that were girls. ]
[ sighs ]
...I wanted us to go to that dance.
[Voice] No.
Date: 2013-02-27 10:55 pm (UTC)Yeah. My parents--
Well, nevermind.
[He was an awkward kid because his folks had just died; but he won't bring that up to someone who just lost them.]
Nah, I can't dance... probably better I didn't embarrass you.
[Voice] He'll be a man finally!
Date: 2013-02-27 11:01 pm (UTC)Not even slow dance?
[Voice] He is a man. That comes after 'spider' in his name.
Date: 2013-02-27 11:05 pm (UTC)[Voice] Only when he's a hero. In this relationship she's the man
Date: 2013-02-28 02:35 am (UTC)I suppose I'll have to teach you how to dance.
[Voice] This is why he prefers MJ.
Date: 2013-02-28 02:38 am (UTC)...No, no! It's cool.
I can also do the robot slowly.
[He's going to grin, bite his lip and hope that counts as slow dancing.
...Or that she gets the picture that he can't dance. Like, at all.]
[Voice] Her Dad probably preferred Flash. But not everyone gets what they want :l
Date: 2013-02-28 02:51 am (UTC)So, what did you have planned?
[Voice] Her Dad's opinion is invalid because he's de-- ...derp. A derp. Yeah.
Date: 2013-02-28 03:00 am (UTC)[Did his hip dimestop moves ruin that idea for you?
Uh, then. Just as planned.]
You free next week at some point...?
[He's not answering that question. Would ruin the surprise.
Also he's not 100% sure yet, but he has some ideas. Good ideas? Unsure.][Voice] :|
Date: 2013-02-28 03:25 am (UTC)[ He has to learn for the wedding! ]
I think I'm free next week. [ pause ] You're not going to tell me what you have planned, are you?
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 03:29 am (UTC)[Joked lightly. ...Sort of a joke, anyway. He can hope.
No more weddings, his fragile teenage ego riddled with commitment issues can't handle it.]...Who said I had anything planned?
So, see you next week?
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 03:34 am (UTC)Weddings are great. He just doesn't realize it yet.]Oh so if you have nothing planned, can I invite Finnick? He wants to meet you.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 03:42 am (UTC)[Because if this is a girl-test, please tell him.]
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 03:47 am (UTC)[
A test for a three-some. No, not really.][Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 03:51 am (UTC)Fine.
[Well, so much for planning.
Let the awkward ensue.]
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 03:54 am (UTC)Or you can meet him another time? He's really nice. I think you two would get along.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 04:00 am (UTC)See you both then.
Later.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 04:04 am (UTC)Peter, wait.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 04:07 am (UTC)Okay.]
Uh... Yeah.
What's up?
[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 04:12 am (UTC)You can meet him later. We haven't had much time together.
You still haven't spent the night, yet.

[Voice]
Date: 2013-02-28 04:26 am (UTC)Okay, if you're sure...
I'll see you then. [ Are they at the 'I love you' phase yet? Probably not...might be too soon for, Peter. So she just hangs up. ]
