Peter's perceptive. It's what, Peter's dad said, was going to get him into college and on his way to a good job. Spending time perfecting a facade makes it pretty easy to spot one in someone else, and it's been a helpful tool for Peter. Likely it also has to do with the intense amount of empathy that Peter feels at any given moment. It's easy for Peter to put himself in someone else's shoes. Once he's experienced it, it's easier to identify it. Here, now, Peter can see that he's in control. This isn't a role Peter always likes to take -- he doesn't quite thrill in it the way Jason seems to -- it's all he wants right now. The tides have shifted again, and Peter is so happy to go with the flow.

A strong, insistent hand hooks around the back of Jason's neck and he, with forceful care, tugs Jason's mouth to his. "You're so gorgeous," he hisses before devouring his mouth in a kiss. Jason is nearly entirely past comprehension, Peter notes, and he himself finds his head spinning as he continues to twist and stroke between them. He's determined, playing his role with eager gusto. Rather than part Jason's mouth with his tongue like he wants, he nudges Jason's head up to mouth heatedly at his Adam's apple, down to his collar. He can't follow this train long before he has to be kissing Jason again.

"Tell me what you want, Jason," he's pressing with gentle insistence, a little out of his mind with how eager he feels to hear Jason's voice, to watch the way he comes further undone with every kiss and pass of his hand.
