i... don't really want to find out if you can withstand a fall like that? people come back to life here but... i don't want to. no. not thinking about that.

[bitras]

shit i didn't mean that i would.
just saying.

shit. sorry.

nate, won't happen. i wouldn't. i would catch myself. promise.

[overconfidently]

i just don't want anything to ever happen to you. i know it's stupid to want, especially here. but i don't.

[bitras]

I'll do my best Nate. I get not wanting that.

I don't want it for you either. you know that, right?

[overconfidently]

i know, it's just... making promises here is a bad idea, isn't it?

[bitras]

don't care.

because i will do all i can. this place may change that but i won't take chances.
if that makes sense.

[overconfidently]

i just... don't want to lose you. in any sort of way. ever.

[bitras]

i know i can't make promises here. we know what just happened.

but

i am going to do everything i can, nate.

waking up back in this place was shocking and we had to deal with all that other stuff but it meant i was here. with you.

[overconfidently]

do you think i exist where you're from? like you do where i'm from?

[bitras]

i don't know.

i haven't seen signs of mutants or heard of them at all in my world. not in any form.

[overconfidently]

i guess even if there are, i might not be there.

( because his time might be up already. )

[bitras]

if we found a way, would you go with me?

[overconfidently]

forever?

[bitras]

out of here. back home. for as long as we get yeah.

i accept if you wouldn't want to because of people in your own world. we don't even know if we can ever do that but if we could...

[overconfidently]

i've slipped into another world before. i could maybe do it again.

[bitras]

Doc's here too. He knows magic that pulled me and Peter two from our worlds.

We know it can be done. Just this place screws with it, I think. Those kind of magics.

[overconfidently]

i know. my mom and i are severely dampened here when it comes to our telepathy and the things we can do.

i don't want to be without you. i don't want to have to say goodbye to you like that again.

[bitras]

me either. losing you was like losing her and maybe we can not let it happen.

because i never want it to happen.

[overconfidently]

i don't want to wake up and find you gone like i did wade. to just... not feel you there anymore. i know it's a risk with the connection i made for us but... i can't imagine myself without it now. without being able to feel you there.

[bitras]

i don't think you know how much of my day i spend just knowing you're there.
and i like that. i don't want to lose that. being in jail was awful, even if i could text you.

[overconfidently]

As always with Nate, it doesn't really matter where Peter is, because he can be there within his mind in a matter of seconds.

Coming up behind him, arms wrap around Peter, face pressing between shoulder blades as hands gently clutch at the man's chest. Telepathically, of course, but. Nate's pretty good at making this all seem and feel real.

[bitras]

There's a small part of Peter's mind that knows it's not them physically together and yet that's part of what means the most to him. They are always close to one another and that connection lets that happen and makes it so they can always have this.

"I don't ever want to lose this," he whispers, his hand moving to cover Nate's, stroking his fingers over his hand. "I don't want to lose you."

[overconfidently]

He presses his face between those shoulder blades a little more, sinking into the warmth that feels so real there with him. Having been, what they had thought, torn from one another and so abruptly — a matter of days — Nate feels particularly... needy in some way. As though he might wake here only to find their time up and for real this time, with so many moments they've shared together to be forgotten, and countless they've yet to share.

Turning his hand some, he lets his fingers brush over Peter's, blue eyes slowly blinking despite the way his face presses between those shoulder blades. "I know," he murmurs. "I don't want to lose you either. I didn't think I'd find someone like you here..." Someone he was afraid to lose.

[bitras]

They were tossed into so much after they were torn from their home and from one another, that it was easy to pretend like life was normal again and that they're just back into their life here.

But it's not entirely true, because now that specter is hanging over their head, that feeling when they were literally and physically torn apart and lost one another.

His fingers move to twine with Nate's, clinging to him in that moment.

"I know." Again that soft whisper, the pain in his tones, the emotions almost overpowering him. "I didn't even think I could love Nate, and you proved me wrong. I can't lose you."

He never thought he'd recover... Yet here they are. He knows he'll never make it again.

"We will find a way, Nate. We have this connection. We have both traveled to other worlds and times outside of this place. We will stay together."

[overconfidently]

There's something that makes his chest flutter — a fierceness of wanting to keep this safe and protected... to keep Peter safe and protected and with him, even if that means in this place that can be so cruel to them all at times. If not for ending up here, he would have never met Peter... never met Wade... never have had the chance to experience so much of what he has here... what he has with this man.

Lifting his head some, he presses his chin between those shoulder blades then and looks up from behind Peter, still holding to him and the hand which Peter has in his own.

"I love you," words soft but so very genuine. "I love you in ways I never thought I would. You're my Peter now... you're the only one I need." A realization where, if he were to never see the Peter he knows back home again in exchange for this one right here... it's what he would want. What he finds himself wanting the longer he's here.
