OVERDUE CUDDLES

Standing outside Peter's apartment i rang the doorbell, which was quite difficult with two dogs under each arm. Luckily i didn't have to wait long before May opened the door, she gave me a warm but sad smile as she moved to the side inviting me in.

"Its nice to see you Gracie, please come in"

I muttered a small "thank you" before walking in, quickly placing the dogs down at my feet where i then proceeded to take off my shoes and coat. Leaving me in my ugly Pyjamas.

"I'm guessing that Peter called you? He's in his room sweety just go right in" May spoke softly "I'll watch over your little munchkins, they're just the cutest things" She began to scratch behind their ears as they licked her hands jumping around her lovingly.

i smiled gratefully before walking to Peter's room which was only really next door.

I didn't know whether to walk straight in or knock first? I mean May said to just walk in.

I'll just open the door then knock, guess ill compromise.

Doing exactly that i opened the door peering in to see Peter hunched over his bed with his head in his hands, you could hear the sniffles of his nose.

I did have to acknowledge though that the clothes he was wearing were quite bizarre? If it was a competition to who wore the ugliest clothes ever, it would probably be a draw.

Besides the point i knocked making Peter look up from his hands to look at me, his hair was ruffled like he'd been pulling at it, his eyes were red and sore most likely from crying. He looked so broken...

"Ah, H-Hey Gracie" Peter hurriedly wiped his eyes to make it seem like he wasn't upset all the while fixing his hair to make it look decent. He forced out a smile which held no happiness behind it and sniffed to get rid of his runny nose.

"Hey Peter....can i come in?" I softly spoke, he nodded while i walked in closing the door behind me quietly before making my way over to him.

Making my way over to him i stopped just in front of him so he was looking up at me. I though he was going to stand up or move aside so I could sit next to him but was shocked when he grabbed my waist and pulled my into a hug. His arms securely around my waist/back as his face is pressed against my stomach.

I was frozen for a few seconds before wrapping my arms round his head and putting my hands in his hair, playing with it to calm him down.

He loves it when I play with his hair.

After about five minutes of me being awkwardly hugged, not like I minded but our position looked very weird.
I pulled away, crouching down so that I was eye to eye with Peter. I took his hands that were in his lap and held them, running my thumb over his knuckles to calm him.

"So are you gonna tell me what happened?"

"You didn't see it on the news?" Peter asked confused.

It was on the news? Wow must've been big.

I shook my head side to side with a frown on my face. He sighed before telling me.
