[ Peter would like to say he doesn't leap to the opportunity to hold MJ's hand, but he definitely takes her cue with a fair amount of enthusiasm, fingers finding hers and slowly lacing together.

It's not the first time they've held hands or anything, but it's still new. All of this, really, is new to him. He's pretty sure he's never liked anyone as much as he likes MJ, and every time they hold hands or hug or - well, kiss, it feels like lightning. Really, really awesome lightning. ]

There's this really cool place on 87th street. They just opened a few weeks ago. I thought maybe we could get ice cream there.
