[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.

There's gotta be something out there.

[Leo trails his hand down Peter's arm, carefully taking his hand like that.]
I don't mind at all if it means you get to see the rebuilding world after the war you helped end.
