[Leo watches him eat that toast, making sure it doesn't cause any issues. Two years and the world has started to rebuild. Some foods were able to be reverse engineered and made again, others they still had samples of and could regrow. Bread was a newly reconstituted food, between the necessary yeast and sugar, it took a while. But Leo's just glad he isn't violently ill from it immediately.]
Cuddling I can do. Think that's enough to clear the whole day's schedule.
[Peter will realize just how lucky he is to be eating bread later on, when he's less overwhelmed and dazed. Actually putting food into his body is already helping him feel a little more steady.]
[He smiles watching him a little longer before grabbing his phone to shoot off a quick text, and then sets it away. He'll make it up to his assistant later; they can accept everything on his behalf for today.]
[Peter polishes off the rest of the toast. He picks up the glass of water to at least get some water into him before he sets it aside.
Peter ends up leaning back against the headboard for the moment with a slow gusty exhale. It becomes clearer how tired he was the longer he lays back.] C'mere, hero. I think we're owed some cuddles.
Oh, we are absolutely owed some cuddles. With interest. And a consolation gift.
[Leo watches him with relief - that he's fine eating, that it's seemingly staying down? Peter's pretty successful attempts at levity. Leo takes the moment to move the tray out of the way, to the foot of the bed for now, before climbing up to sit next to him, leaning against the headboard himself.]
[Peter wants to hold onto the levity for as long as he can, given the rest of the day has been... rough. Too many highs and lows rolled into one.
The ressurected man shifts to lay lightly against Leo, just trying to settle. He is going to accept feeling good while it lasts. He's still drained and wrung out, but the toast at least did its job.]
Lot to make up for. [He presses a light kiss against Leo's chin, then his jaw.]
[He settles with Peter right there against him, wraps one arm around him loosely to keep him close. But Leonardo smiles at the attention, tilting his head down to kiss Peter's temple, pressing his face against him.]
[Peter exhales softly, just content to hold onto his husband. He feels grounded like this. Given everything else that happened over the last few hours he feels wiped.]
Maybe we can actually have a full honeymoon. [He enjoyed what they could get last time, but now, well, the war was over and the two actually had the time.] Just you and me, somewhere else if there is even a place we could go to.
[He gives Peter a gentle squeeze of a hug. The idea of a proper, real honeymoon after everything... There's really only the city here that's been being rebuilt since everything happened. He'd have to warn Peter to prepare him for it.]
We should look into it after you've gotten more settled.
It'll be a dream we can achieve this time. [Peter is just going to get comfortable right here. As far as he's concerned, he belongs right here. He's tired, he's comfortable and he has something in his system, so he can avoid that jittery no food feeling.]
We talked about going to a lake once or twice. Maybe we can figure that out, if there are any clean ones left.
I know some work's been put in to the water filtration to start pumping back into the city and some of the homes that've been built already.
[He can feel Peter's exhaustion. He trails his thumb up and down Peter's arm while they talk. Sit. Be here, breathe each other in occasionally. He'd missed this. A hole in his life for over two years that is gradually refilling the longer Peter is here.]
That's good, I was wondering just... how the infrastructure stuff was going to work again. Everyone who we had in base at the time weren't really equipped for a lot of things we needed done for after the war. [He muses a little tiredly, just content to cuddle into his husband. Its hard not to be Commander Parker given he had put so much of his time and energy into being what everyone else needed. He and Leo had no choice. The two had stepped into being leaders.]
If there isn't, it can be rebuilt. Just going to take time.
I know. [He rests his forehead against Peter's temple for a moment.]
We kept a list of what needed to be priority installation and went from there. Everyone's been working their asses off the last two years since it all ended. You'll be surprised when you feel up for going into the city.
[The direct contact earns a soft pleased exhale from the brunette. His eyes just slide closed for the moment.]
I'm excited about everything, but my god, it's going to be a culture shock. You'll be stuck with me staring at everything dumbfounded like when we tried to explain TV to Casey.
[Peter laughs softly at the sentiment.] I guess its not, I still just want it to be... us you know? Peter and Leo. No commander titles in sight. No need to lead.
[He squeezes Leo's hand in his own.] I'd like to see everything with you.
[Everything about him goes soft, even as he squeezes Peter's darker stained hand in his own. It's fine. Leo doesn't care at all, because it's Peter.]</small.
Soon as you have the energy for it, I'll show you everything.
You better. I want to see it all with you. We have all the time now, we can just see and do everything.
[Peter is still trying to come to terms with the dark stains he can see on his hands. He wonders distantly if he needs to cover himself up more now. It will be a reminder to both of them for the rest of their lives together that Peter isn't quite right anymore.
Will he make every other magic user in the area flinch? He still hasn't re-met the rest of their family, so he isn't sure what their reactions will be.]
I'll have to wear sunglasses or gloves when we go out, I'm... [He trails off a little with a sigh.] We'll worry about that later.
