It's pretty hard to beat free food. [He jokes quietly back, slowly trying to warm back up.] Even if April probably did it to ensure we'd stay here and talk.
Admitting it worked to her means she's going to be really pleased with herself later. [April will that specific level of smugness only a sibling can achieve. Peter is learning the ins and outs from this family.
Both are mildly unaware the rest of the Hamato clan are betting on the date now.]
Technically, she's in a grade above mine. So, I'll have to deal with it at lunch, and Ned will freak out. [Peter has no idea how he'll navigate that aspect of things.] MJ was acting a little weird, so, I'll get some reprieve there maybe.
[Peter is also oblivious to that MJ has a crush on him. That will be equally fun to navigate.]
So, it means we'll have more patrols to ourselves then. We can hold hands after kicking butt. [The romance is high bar here. Peter is really fond of the idea though, given his expression.] Maybe we can actually hunt down a food truck without it exploding.
It'd be nice to actually do something food-related without having to go 'is Meatsweats involved?' every time. [Peter muses with a laugh.] There is this one truck near Hells Kitchen, that makes these really good walking tacos.
The truck is usually out pretty late, so, kinda perfect for us. [He is still working on the pizza slice.] They take only cash, so makes buying stuff a little hard if you don't have pockets.
[Now Leo knows why his boyfriend added pockets to his costume.]
[Turtle hands are also welcome, it will take Peter a bit to realize he can invite hands in.] I'll probably be on patrol and end up sending you a picture of where it ends up so we can maybe plan something.
I have pockets now, so, I can at least carry stuff for you if you want. You have a lot of stuff in your pouch already.

I mean, only if you wanna. Sorry, I shouldn't be... I shouldn't make you feel rushed.
[The fact kissing won't quite work exactly as expected given their species difference hasn't occurred to Peter yet.]
no subject
Just, uh. Maybe something to talk about after here?
no subject
[He's not in a rush. Peter is just more than a little smitten with the other teenager.]
no subject
[TAKES A BIG OL' DRINK OF WATER.]
Later! Yes. Perfect. Until then, we have free food and good atmosphere here.

Leo is suddenly very interested in his glass of water.]
May wanna take it easy around MJ.

He should.]
I'll tell you about it later.
[Or best not to tank their first date.]
no subject
Oh, uh, okay. Add that to the later list. [He tries to joke a little, smiling at Leo.]
no subject
[Just taking another bite of his pizza finally now that all that is settled. But MAN he is just! Thrilled.]

Oh yeah? Like what else?

Iiii think it does, for us at least.

[Hueso would probably enjoy Leo going literally anywhere else to eat sometime.]

Huh. Yeah, that makes sense. I'll make sure to grab some when you wanna go.
