this scene probably won’t be part of my spidepool fic, but i was too weak and couldn’t help it, i had to write it.
Peter is 19 and Wade is 21.
“I didn’t know you smoked.”
Wade looked up, a cigarette between his lips. His sky blue eyes followed the movement of Peter’s spine as he sat next to him on the ledge of the roof. Peter took off his mask, feeling oddly out of place in his suit and bright yellow jacket.
Wade shrugged. “Well, it’s not like I can get cancer.”
Peter scrunched up his nose. “I guess.”
Peter made a noncommittal sound. Wade took a long drag and made up a point of blowing the smoke towards the night sky. Peter opened his mouth but stopped at the sight of pale pink lips, drawn together like a flower bud. From this angle Wade’s scars weren’t visible, his cheeks were rosy by the cold and the line of his jaw something close to chiseled marble. He was wearing a black beanie and little tufts of dirty blond hair framed his face. Peter tried to ignore the way something tugged at his chest.
“I take it you don’t smoke, then.”
Wade wasn’t looking at him, his eyes lost on the horizon. Peter frowned.
“No, I never had one, to be honest,” he bit his thumb. “Although, I guess my healing factor should protect me from getting cancer as well.”
Wade tilted his head towards him, took another drag. His lips curled around wisps of smoke.
