[the full moon has long come and gone, but peter still hasn't stopped thinking about it. it's been a long time since peter was scared of isaac but that doesn't mean it isn't chilling to witness the tenuous hold they have on their humanity. he wonders if isaac understands, really knows, how strong it makes him. in the brittle day after when they're both raw and uneasy, they sleep most of the time, peter rolling over whenever isaac jolts awake, curling up behind him and dropping sleepy murmurs and half-awake kisses over his neck and shoulder until isaac's breathing calms.
it's not until days later that he gets around to asking, though, once things have had time to settle out a little. they're lying in bed in the dark, and isaac has just roundly defeated peter in the last pokemon battle he can tolerate for the evening, so peter snaps his ds shut and drops it on the ground behind his head before he sets his head in the hollow of isaac's shoulder.]
Can I ask you something? You don't have to answer, course.
