He's not so sure there's anything that can be done. How do you remove something from someone's DNA? Seems impossible, even for a telepath like himself to do. Still, he can't help but smile a little at how stubborn the other man is.
"I'm glad you're here." The words are soft, fingers tightening some in their grip on the other man's hand. Just sitting there with him, head still to his shoulder. "I just... I don't know. Feels quieter sometimes when I'm up here." He's sure he's told Peter this before. Even if he can't be as high as he'd like to be.
His thumb strokes over Nate's hand, trying not to think about it all. Trying not to think about how much it hurts. So instead stroking his fingers along the back of his hand, lightly resting his cheek against Nate's hair. It's enough to have this. At least for right now.
"I'm always going to be here as long as this place lets me. Okay?"
Even as he says the words, he realizes how much he means them. Whatever Nate needs, he's going to do his best to be there for him.
"Naw, I get that. Being above the city, away from the people and the lights and the noise, I get it." He gives Nate's hand a squeeze. "And we can stay up here as long as we want."
