[She likes to always play it cool, to act like she doesn't care. But the truth is that MJ cares very much, something that she's well aware Peter knows. So she doesn't really care about the way she pauses when her end of facetime first connects and she sees him. He's always able to put a smile on her face, even when she's trying her best to play aloof.]
Hey.
[And just like that, her stupid smile ruins the whole act. She's laying in the dark too, curled up on her side with her phone lazily held so he can see her face.]
I was thinking you could come over here tomorrow. For the project.
[ Oh, yeah. He's picking up what you're putting down, MJ. She can probably catch the way his expression brightens, eyes alight almost immediately at her suggestion. They're just two dweeby peas in a pod, the way they can make each other smile like idiots. ]
Yeah — yeah. That's a good idea. Way easier than over chat or something.
[oh, she catches it. Peter's happiness is hard to miss, he seems to radiate good vibes and energy each and every time he smiles. She's pretty sure they're the definition of opposites attract.]
We could order pizza. Make a night out of it.
[She forgot they're making this about the project. Oops.]
Like a date. One where we don't have to be out and around other people.

no subject

no subject
it's not like i'm going to ask you to sneak out and come through my window
but that might be a good seduction technique. i'm not really sure since you know
i've never been seduced before
before i met you obviously
[please just facetime her so she'll stop this awkward rambling]
text ➝ video ;
like zero seduction skills
until you
so i guess we're kinda figuring it out together?
which is cool
and um
yeah ok i'm gonna turn this thing on now hold on
[ Definitely absolutely switching over to FT to avoid this permanent text conversation memorializing their awkward advances.
Annnnd there we go.
He's on his back, phone hovering over his face which glows like a moon in his otherwise dark bedroom. ]
