oh! no that's not what i'm talking about no no no that was very okay trust me nothing to be sorry for if i was texting you about that it would've sounded way different
nah i wanted to touch base about the whole spider-woman thing that's not actually something i casually talk about ever i think i was just trying to impress you
oh. alright, awesome. just wanted to make sure. some people are pretty open about that kind of thing here, but i'm not totally there yet.
i'm going to say it was 25% because i was drunk for the first time since forever ( spider bite, for whatever reason, makes it really hard for me to actually get drunk ) 25% because everybody knows having a super hero identity is an automatic conversation hook science/techno babble isn't my forte, but talking about metahumans is pretty easy c: and the last 50% is because you're impressive
I'll spare you my theories on your metabolic rate for now. Your math adds up, but I'm flattered I'm accounting for such a high percentage. "Very okay." That is encouraging.
[ it takes her a little bit to respond, mostly because she had to get up and close her bedroom door. nobody's home, but, better safe than sorry ]
it's not like that night was a blur or anything, i can remember details but i've been thinking about what it'd be like to slow things down a little bit too the fact that we were rushed was pretty fun, but taking our time could be too
i'm actually the most impatient person when it comes to anything, but especially the idea of kissing you again like i did the other night you might have to help me learn how to slow it down a bit
It's not always easy. But it is almost always better in the end. Delayed gratification can make you want something even more than you ever would have wanted it if you'd just taken it right away.
[ just sort of staring at her phone and blushing like an idiot. she can't handle this! oh god why did she think she'd be able to handle this? can't handle it in a good way though, yeah. so she'll keep playing along. ]
[It's tempting, very tempting, to answer that question with a call. He knows the effect his voice has, he just doesn't usually care about it. But that would undermine the exact lesson he's imparting now, namely patience.]
Imagine what needing it will feel like. Good night, Ms. Stacy.

But that is interesting. And unexpected.
Why exactly would you want to impress me?

I'd be lying if I denied it might have been the highlight of my evening.
Or that I hadn't considered it again.
