the second you heard the front door slam from the comfort of your bedroom, you knew it was going to be one of those days.
within minutes you could hear yelling and cursing in the other room. jesus, the whole building could probably hear it.
your mood immediately soured. you tried to put on your headphones and blast your favorite album, but it was no use.
finally, you got up, climbed out your window, and made your way down the fire escape. as soon as your feet hit the pavement, you took off running.
peter's house was only a few blocks down from your apartment complex. besides, your mind was keeping you distracted.
you finally stopped at his two story house and made your way over to the tree that you had grown use to climbing. just a few feet up and you could slide open the window. he never locked it.
he turned around in his swivel chair as he heard the glass slide. you didn't even have to say anything for him to know something was bothering you.
"parents are fighting again. can i stay here for the night?" you asked in a small voice.
he frowned and nodded his head, "yeah of course. always."
you gave him the best smile you could muster and sat down on his bed, "so what're you up to?"
peter shrugged, "editing photos for photography class."
you quickly got up and made your way to the computer, "can i see?"
he clicked through a few and you shook your head in disbelief.
"peter, you're so talented. seriously, you could have a career in this," you told him.
"that's the dream," he said softly. part of him wondered if he was really good enough. and what would he do if he wasn't?
you picked up his camera, breaking him from his destructive train of thought.
"what are you doing?" he asked cautiously.
you turned the device on and pointed it at him with a grin.
peter shook his head, "put it down!"
you frowned, "no way, parker. i'm the photographer now. just sit there and look pretty."
you actually got a laugh out of him.
"you're gonna break it. you don't even know how to use that thing," he stated.
your jaw almost dropped in offense, "i'm a quick learner."
peter reached to grab the camera from you, but you dodged him and snapped a couple shots.
"give it back, dork," he said as he got up. peter covered his face as the camera flashed once more.
"name calling!?" you gasped. "now you're going to have to pry it from my cold, dead hands."
in the long run it wasn't that hard for him to get the camera from you. he had the advantage of height.
but you made sure to put up a good fight. ask his shins.
you watched over his shoulder as peter began clicking through the photos you took.
half of them were blurry and he wasn't even in frame for the other half.
"i don't know, parker. you may have some competition," you said confidently.
peter gave you a side eye and after a long moment of silence, the two of you burst into chaotic laughter.
