Yeah, once she chills out. [ She shrugs, knowing that she'll have to return the cat to the neighbor eventually.
At his question, she nods, moving to stand up quickly, smoothing out her shirt as she does.] I'd like that. [ There's a brief, very awkward pause before she holds out her hand because... that's what they should do, right? It'd be nice to hold hands...]
[ 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.
[ The thing is about MJ is that she's just as excited to be holding his hand or kissing him, her excitement is just more... subdued. It isn't because she doesn't like Peter as much as he likes her, oh she does. It's just... well, holding hands is a huge, big deal for her, she wouldn't hold hands with just anyone. Nor would she give up her precious alone/reading/drawing/conspiracy theory research time for any guy.
Peter Parker is special.
And she feels that lightning too, she's just a different flavor of awkward about it. ] It's the cruelty-free place, right? [ Oh Peter, you know JUST the way to her heart.
See? She's smiling and holding his hand just a little tighter.]
[ Augh, her smile is doing funny things to him, it's kind of the best feeling in the world.
It makes him feel like he can do anything; he's buoyant, like those really dumb songs about floating in the clouds because you're like - in lo .. like with someone. Yeah. Uhhh.
Whatever, he's grinning in her direction, we're just going to ignore those super intense feelings for now. ]

[ Peter is teasing, of course.
He squeezes her hand in his. ]
No problem. Walking means we get to like, talk and stuff. You know, if you want to.
