Library [01/14]

Sam had a careful balancing act going on as he tried to hold on to the stack of books he was carrying and unlock the library at the same time.

"I really do," Peter said, grinning at him in a rather self-satisfied fashion. "Though you did forget to put me on your list. I may not share coffee with you now."

Now it was Sam's turn to pout. "I didn't forget you. I don't have a list. I was just...I don't know what I was on Saturday. Temporarily crazy, I think."

"Couldn't tell the difference," Peter replied. Though he gave Sam his coffee to make up for it.

"That makes me feel so much better," Sam said, taking the coffee like a good little addict.

"Seriously though, you sound better," Peter said. "Whatever it was."

"I don't feel like I'm bloated and fat, so I think that's an improvement," Sam said.

"Should I not offer you the donut then?"

"I don't think that will make me worse," Sam said, looking innocent.

"If you're sure," Peter said. "I don't want to be responsible for contributing to your shame spiral."

"Shame spiral?" Sam asked. "Where do you even learn a phrase like that?"

"I'm from New York," Peter said, handing over a donut. "Pretty much everyone I know is in therapy." Peter took a thoughtful bite of his own donut. "Except the ones who should, probably."

"Are you suggesting I should be in therapy?" Sam asked with a smirk.

"That depends," Peter said, deadpan. "Do you feel that donut is a substitute for love?"

Sam laughed. "Not really, no."

"Then you're fine," Peter said, flashing a grin at him.

"That's probably about as close to a professional opinion as I'll ever get," Sam said, happily taking a bite of donut.

"Well I am practically a nurse," Peter said. "That counts, right?"

"I guess so," Sam said. "So, have you really given that serious thought? The nurse thing, I mean."

"I know I want to help people," Peter said. "Sometimes I wonder where that'd fit with the heroing."

"I guess heroes need to pay the bills somehow," Sam said. "I think you'd make a great nurse, as long as you don't mind the sight of blood."

"Mine or theirs?" Peter joked. Taking a sip of his coffee helped him avoid eye contact, as well as avoid pointing out that thanks to his family's money he never had to worry about paying the bills.

"Well, hopefully it'll be other people's blood, but I guess you shouldn't be squeamish in general if you want to be in the medical field."

"Hasn't bothered me so far," Peter said. "Not that I've been cutting people to test this."

"I have to say, that would not be a good use of your healing talents," Sam pointed out.

"Plus I think Nathan would let me spend a night in jail if I got caught," Peter said. "Just to teach me a lesson."
