Skidding to a light stop before him, head tilted a fraction with focus on the other’s glasses, mostly. “Hey, um— Those are some pretty uh, pretty cool glasses, man.” x.com/lambentrunt/st…

Interaction was not Peter’s strong suit either, given how often he tripped over his own words, but he did try, from time to time. “You’re uh . . you’re welcome.” Nodding somewhat, shifting on his feet. “Are they like . . specially made, or?” x.com/lambentrunt/st…

“That’s pretty neat, I guess.” Nodding, the boy shuffled his feet a little, hands shoved into the pockets of his jeans. As mentioned, socialization was truly /not/ his forte. x.com/lambentrunt/st…

Snapping to then, as realization dawned that he’d not yet introduced himself, mentally kicking himself for such directly after. “Oh, hey, um— I um— I’m Peter . . Parker.” Nodding slightly, a small smile was offered. “Hi.” x.com/lambentrunt/st…

Nodding rapidly whilst squirming still, given as he was literally incapable of remaining still, arms crossing over his chest. “Yeah, um . . . that’s pretty neat, I guess.” Shoulders shrugged, gaze flickering elsewhere. This was why he rarely interacted with people. x.com/lambentrunt/st…

“Wha—“ Lashes drawn into an owlish blink, an /almost/ offended expression coming across his face, though he knew the other was right. Awkward might as well have been Peter’s middle name, rather than Benjamin. “N-no! I’m not awkward. I’m— I’m like . . the opposite of — x.com/lambentrunt/st…

— awkward, y’know?” Cool was the word that he was looking for, lie or not, shoulder attempted to lean on the nearby wall, though he misjudged the distance, and stumbled slightly before regaining control of his feet. “ . . . yeah.” x.com/lambentrunt/st…

Don’t mind Peter, he’s just . . . hanging from the ceiling whilst playing his game on his phone.

Don’t mind him. He’s just currently settled in the middle of the floor . . . building with Legos.
