@SnarkyStevie He swallowed thickly and rocked on his feet slightly. "I know you want me to stand up for myself. I'm just not as confrontational as you are."
@SnarkyStevie Peter jumped slightly, not expecting Steve to raise his voice. Anyone raising their voices spooked him.
But what Peter got was a bit of a half-assed apology. It honestly would've been enough for him but he knew Steve wouldn't take that.
@SnarkyStevie He squeaked when Steve handed him the phone and he gave him the biggest puppy dog eyes. He really didn't want to.
"Steve, you don't have to do this—" But he held the phone up to his ear regardless.
@SnarkyStevie He blinked a few times before realizing he was chewing his lip again and he stopped.
His eyes got wide as he heard the conversation. Steve was way more confrontational than he was. Always ready to fight. This conversation didn't sound like it was going well.
@SnarkyStevie He made a little "oof" sound at the smack.
But he did blush at being referred to at Steve's husband. And he was very anxiously chewing on his lip because he didn't necessarily know what was going to happen.
@SnarkyStevie "I stuttered and blabbered for a good minute before I finally got it out and I'm pretty sure the guy thought I was dumb and laughed at me after I hung up—" Don't we just live anxiety?
@SnarkyStevie The way Steve goes from 'Demanding Daddy' to 'Soft For His Boy' in no time at all could give Peter whiplash.
"Uh. . .h-hi?" They didn't go very far from each other. He was a very confused boy.
@SnarkyStevie . . .
That's valid. Because he does often forget to do his work on time. He babbled out and only stuttered a few times during his order. So that's a win.
"Uh. . .pizza should be here in about 30 minutes."
@SnarkyStevie That totally wasn't fair. He chewed at the loose skin on his lip before realizing what he was doing and stopping before just calling up the local pizza place he loves so much to make an order.
@SnarkyStevie He gasped and maybe covered his mouth to stop what would've been a moan. "Sorry!" He immediately let go of his lip, really forcing himself to not chew on it as he stood there, face flushed to hell, as he looked through his favorite food places.
@SnarkyStevie He chewed his lip gently again, that nervous habit popping up again. He may have whined as he looked through his phone to see what sounded good for dinner.
@SnarkyStevie Again. Big husband energy. He would rather Steve be too careful than just disregard everything. "N-no. I like it. It just makes me blush."
