[unsurprisingly, it is not difficult to make peter let go, because he wasn't holding on very hard, and he just laughs when isaac frees his foot. he does, however, twist his wrists to try and catch isaac's hands instead.]
[yep, isaac has definitely discovered his plan. and luckily the floor doesn't give a damn about spilled water, because peter has entirely forgotten about the glasses by the time his back hits the mattress. he's not going to let isaac win too easily, but the conclusion is rather forgone.]
[Isaac doesn't use his strength the way he does when he's fighting, lets Peter have a little give and take before he finally pins the other wolf down by the shoulders, breathless and laughing, his legs pressed on either side of Peter's hips.]
Holding it hostage so you'd get me like this.
[He leans in a little until their noses are almost touching with a wicked little smile quirking at his lips.]
[Isaac stares down at him for a long few moments, practically feeling the other boy's heart pounding as they sit there. He wants to kiss him again- of course he does, what else would they do in a position like this?- but Isaac still doesn't quite know where that path will lead, and the uncertainty makes him pull back a little, head tilted with that same little grin.]
[Isaac can hear it and he's not sure what to make of it- the indecision makes him just stare up toward the ceiling, and there's a fair amount of regret starting to surface. If there was a moment- well, that was it.]
One of us should probably clean up that water, I guess.
[he rolls off the mattress without stepping over isaac like he usually does, and if he's gone longer than it would actually take to go get a towel to mop up, well. he has to sleep next to isaac, and he'd like to actually be able to sleep.]
[That's sort of what he'd been afraid of, but Isaac doesn't say anything, just focuses all of his attention on trying to rearrange the blankets to look somewhat livable before laying back down with a huff.
Pointedly, he grabs at where he left his gameboy and starts his game up again and doesn't think about it. Even when his little character is just walking around in circles doing absolutely nothing, he doesn't think about it. It's too much to consider right now, not when everything is still heated from the moon.]
[peter is, at least, courteous as one can be about it, his hands smelling strongly of soap and not much else when he reappears with a towel and cleans up the water, and he steps over isaac and settles back into bed like everything's normal. he's a seventeen-year-old boy, but he's not that kind of jerk.]
[Isaac is thankful for that much at least, and he settles a little further into bed when Peter comes in. He also acts like nothing happened, and makes a grunt of acknowledgement when Peter asks him the question.]
The farming one. I forgot to feed my cows yesterday so two of them got sick.
Poor cows. Do you give them medicine or something?
[peter never got into that game. the idea of pretend animals suffering because he was too busy or forgetful to play a game seems a touch too guilt-inducing for him. he cranes his neck to look over at isaac's screen, but he doesn't move closer like he normally would. peter doesn't know why isaac rejected him, but he did, so now it's back to being passive, to letting the other werewolf set the boundaries, to making things isaac's choice.
he's just about as zen about it as it's possible for a teenager to be, no hidden anger and pretty minimal frustration.]
I have to sell like, an entire crop of carrots to afford it.
[Which sucks and Isaac is rolling his eyes at the notion, but he's still harvesting carrots, and tilting the gameboy down so Peter can see what he's doing. He leans forward too so he can have a good view of the screen, an action that sort of rests their foreheads together, maybe. Isaac feels bad, but he doesn't know how to bring it up, and he's desperately trying to make this situation not awkward. Harvesting video game carrots is pretty easy and boring though, so he sighs.]
But my chickens laid eggs this morning so I can sell those and still turn enough of a profit to expand my farm a little.
[when isaac's forehead touches his, peter seems to relax, tension going out of his neck and shoulders, and he moves over enough that isaac doesn't have to hold the gameboy in a terribly awkward fashion so that they can both see the screen.]
Don't chickens lay eggs every morning? Or am I being too logical here? What're you going to add?
[maybe it's weird, but peter seems interested in isaac's video game farm, not just making small talk to fill awkward silence.]
[He's glad that Peter seems to have relaxed somewhat- he can't really feel any hostility or even any sort of upset coming from Peter, which is a surprise in itself and he finds that he's thankful for it.]
Every other morning. And I don't know.
[Isaac is far more invested in this video game than he cares to admit. Peter knows this.]
I could get some pigs, but they're really expensive to upkeep- but they give you a lot of money back in a few days when you sell the bacon. A sheepdog would protect my sheep against the wolves though.
[peter is, in general, pretty good at not being awkward about things most people would find awkward, and he finds the current scenario vastly less uncomfortable than some other options.]
You've got some lazy chickens. Or maybe not, it's been awhile since I lived anywhere with hens.
[he makes a little hmm sound.]
I'd say sheepdog, but which is better in the long run?
[peter values protection over profit, which is another reason he would probably be bad at this game.]
It just depends. Pigs are high cost-high reward because you sell them to the meat market when they're fully grown and you get a ton of cash. Sheep are a pretty dependable income 'cause they always grow wool if they're not dying.
[Isaac considers it a little more, before directing his character off to the kennel, browsing over the puppies there.]
You're right though. I should probably protect my farm a bit more before I expand it.
[He peeks up at Peter and gives him a little grin, buying the puppy without a second thought. When the name selection pops up afterward, Isaac grins before naming it PETER, and then there's a little dog following his sprite around.]
[while this is happening, peter's smile slowly widens into a grin, and then he laughs when he sees the little peter dog following the little isaac sprite. it's not exactly inaccurate, after all.]
You're cute. I should've picked one that looked more like me. But that one was the cutest.

Closer to you.

[that was a definite yes. he tilts his chin up until their noses bump, his chest still heaving.]
It kinda worked. If that was my plan, I mean.

I think you just gave up the game, Rumancek.

Well, I tried.

[Isaac rolls off of him then, letting his shoulders hit the bed with a little sound.]
Commendable, even.

Not actually that good at business-y money stuff.
