Peter stared down aimlessly at the glass in his hand, his thoughts flitting from Pam calling out his name, to Sam Conway, so small, so scared, both people who needed him and he couldn’t help them. He could never seem to do enough. He would never be enough.
“Hey” said a familiar voice from behind him before sitting down next to him. Peter didn’t even bother to ask how he was found, it seemed like Carmen was employing everybody’s help to try and save him from his spiral and sometimes he just wanted to tell her to give up and leave him in the bottom of his glass. “You look like you could us a hug, or just to talk to someone”
“I’m fine” Peter said, without looking up, knowing that after just a look in his eyes his oldest friend would be able to know just how far from the truth that was.
It turned out Mike didn’t even need that look. “Don’t lie to me, Peter. Maybe to the rest of the squad, but not to me, you don’t have to lie to me.”
“You look like you could use a hug.” – stodds
