{PP}Skype Calls

The dinging of the computer is what brought me out of my stupor. The blinking white cursor complimented the empty black of the page, my eyes trailing down the bottom right corner of the screen. The pop-up read 'Incoming Call: Peter Parker' in bright letters. My hand trailed down to the green answer button, removing the cover from my laptop webcam once the call started to go through. A few seconds later a pair of familiar brown eyes popped up on my screen, smile shining brightly from the other side of the screen. 

"Hi sweetheart."
"Hi, Pete."
"You seem tired. I hope I didn't wake you, I don't know what time it is over there."
"Nope, haven't been sleeping. But it is 2 am and I have a 15 page paper due at midnight tomorrow and all I've got to show for it is an empty document titled 'Please Kill Me I Haven't Slept In Two Days'."
He laughed.
"Well, I have a physics project due at 8 am and I'm in another country."
"Looks we're both out of luck."
"Maybe. But I guess that's what we get for enrolling in the honors college." There was a small silence. "So, where are you at this week?"
"Italy. It's the same guy whose been doing all that stuff in New York lately."
"Shit. You're being safe, right?"
"Of course I am. I know what I'm doing."
"That's what you said last time and you still ended up needing patched up at 3 am."

A beeping sound came through his end of the computer, his head hanging as he let out a sigh.
"Duty calls."
"You know I don't like being away from you this long any more than you do."
"I know. At least your in a place with wifi and cell service."
"Yeah. You really should get back to working on your essay, you know."
"And you should get back to saving the world."
"Looks like we'll both be doing things that'll keep us up all night."
"It seems to be that way. Now go, you've got lives to save."
"I'll call you tomorrow morning. I love you."
"I love you, too."

The click of my mouse ended the call.

--------------------------------------------------------

I hummed along to the sounds of the music that played through the speakers, searching through the various pieces of jewelry that layed in the porcelain dish. The beeping of the computer cut through the sound of the music, my feet shuffling over to press the answer call button. My hand held my towel up, standing up straight Peter's face popped up on my screen.

"Hey, Pete. What's up?"
"Had some down time, figured I'd call you."
"Well you caught me just in time, MJ is picking me up in an hour."
"Study date?"
"Girl's night."
"How did you get MJ to agree to go to a party with you on a Thursday night?"
"3 words. Drunk. Underage. Idiots."
"In other words, you need her to be the designated driver."
"Correct. All my classes for tomorrow are canceled and I desperately need to get drunk. Therefore, if I drunk dial you I apologize."
"Just be careful, you never know how frat boys will be."
"Oh, this isn't a frat party. Actual it's just a bunch of us journalism majors getting drunk in Betty's dorm."

He let out a loud chuckle, shaking his head.
"Oh god. For once I'm glad I'm not there because that sounds absolutely horrific."
"Yes, because parties in the engineering department are so much better."
"Look, we only blew a fuse one time."
"Don't forget about when Ned threw up all over the carpet."
"God, we were trying to get that smell out for weeks."
My hands glanced at the clock beside me.
"Okay, I've got 45 minutes. Which dress?"

I held up two dresses to the camera, holding each one to my body. Peter cocked his head and leaned forward before speaking.
"Mmmm, the blue one."
"Every single time I ask you to pick a dress you always pick the blue one."
"Because it's my favorite color. And it's the dress I think looks best on you."
I blushed.
"Well, I better go and finish getting ready. Plus, you need some sleep. You look like you haven't gotten any in days."
He ran a hand over his face tiredly.
"Yeah, it's been I think 36 hours? We've been on the move constantly since we got to Greece."
"Well, I must tell you that I am jealous. Not about the whole saving the world and getting beat up all the time, more the getting to go to Greece thing."
"Yeah, well, one day we'll take a real vacation to Greece."
"I'll be looking forward to it. Now get some sleep. I love you."
"I love you, too."
