what if i'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you? and what if i kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into? and what if i really thought some miracle would see us through? what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you?
Peter didn’t pay attention to most people
It’s not that he didn’t care but rather it’s that his brain worked so fast he didn’t have time to slow down for others
But somehow, despite that, you somehow managed to catch his attention
Which was sort of odd because you didn’t really stand out
You weren’t rebellious, weren’t outspoken
But what you were, was nice
Maybe even overly nice
At first Peter found it slightly annoying, how nice you were
And he thought, ‘no one’s that nice.’
So he made it his mission to break you
You’re reaching for an item and he instantly zips by, takes it before you can and suddenly he’s across the room waving to you with item in hand
You’re on your way somewhere, he stands right in front of you blocking your path and you two are caught in a little sidestep dance until he finally lets you go by
Despite his irritating behavior, you were always nice to him, and the more he pushed the more he realized that you were just in fact…well nice
After some more time spent with you, he became less annoyed with you and more annoyed with others
More specifically the way others treated you
One night when you two were hanging out, you mentioned how another classmate asked to borrow something of yours a while ago and had yet to return it
That’s when he asked, “doesn’t that bother you?”
You weren’t dumb, you knew exactly what he was talking about
But instead of giving some deep answer like he thought you would, you just shrugged and said, “it’s nice to be nice.”
That wasn’t good enough for him.
Peter made it his mission then and there to help you stand up to people
He spent the next week trying to teach you how to reach your inner meanness
And when that failed and you found yourself apologizing to him
All Peter said was, “if we can’t unlock your inner meanness, then I’ll be your inner meanness.”
You were about to ask what he meant by that, but before you could he leaned close with a lopsided grin and said, “that means you’re never gettin rid of me.”
From that day on, Peter was always by your side
If anyone tried to bother you they’d have to go through him
