Earth Raiders progress report [comprehensive British and American]

This sounds too much like a love story, or maybe it was a love story in the first place.Joshua looked at the boy who seemed to be answering this question seriously, and couldn't tell the difference for a moment.

He realized that if Peter often answered questions like this in the future, it would be a big challenge for him to analyze and understand, but now they are in a relationship, so this answer should be partly flirtatious, and Peter's expression is not completely The smile, which has an element of seriousness, is therefore only half a love story, and he is indeed answering the question.

"But it's not from me," Joshua said, "do you want me to give it to you as a birthday present?"

Since the issue of gift involves himself, it can be logically deduced that this is the best gift. As an individual, a person is usually not considered as an object that can be called a gift, but there is no such saying in history, which is usually Set in feudal or slave times, people are beauties who can be kept as slaves, as marriage gifts, or simply to please.

Now is the age of civilization, and people have individual human rights. Although similar incidents have occurred on some occasions, they are still not recognized by the majority. Therefore, it is logically untenable to treat people as gifts. From Dr. Cooper, there is another explanation for this statement.

"Theoretically, I can do anything for you," the brown-haired young man began to explain what he said. After all, from a modern point of view, what he just said could easily give the impression that he disregarded human rights. Peter's face turned red suddenly "But as a gift, you can ask me to do most of the things within a certain time limit, such as helping you finish your thesis, or accompanying you to the museum, and maybe occasionally helping with the destruction of corpses, etc."

The time limit means that the relationship is uncertain. It is true that they seem to be developing smoothly now, but no one can guarantee whether it will end in a breakup, even if it is like Khan, he thinks there is no need to worry about whether it will end in the end. No longer able to be a family presence, and there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents like his sudden arrival in this world, so if Peter asks him to come back from another world, he may not be able to do it.

Peter completely took Joshua's mention of destroying corpses and destroying traces as a joke to adjust the atmosphere. After all, the image of his boyfriend in his eyes is not a person who would destroy corpses, but at the beginning Joshua said to put himself As a gift, he completely lost his mind.

Perhaps it was the sequelae of the article in that forum, which caused some of the pictures described above to appear in his mind sometimes, but this cannot be completely blamed on him, after all, it was the first time he saw himself and Joshua as the protagonists. Generally speaking, when one party in love says to give oneself as a gift to the other party, it means... Who made the website later appear many works with different themes with them as the protagonists, and among them One of the articles is about gifts.

In fact, Peter wasn’t completely delusional. The scope of what Joshua said was basically anything. If he made such a request, Joshua might not refuse it after thinking about it, because he The main direction of worry is that if it is only one time, he can probably get away with it, and his Gotham reorganization plan is about to start. If he is lucky, this problem may be resolved.

But fortunately, although Peter has been a little obsessed with fan works recently-not all restricted-rated ones, but also daily-oriented, plot-oriented and cookie-oriented-after Joshua explained that, he still embarrassedly deleted the picture in his mind temporarily , and did not make a request that seemed more suitable for a birthday like a coming-of-age ceremony. To be honest, he was a little distressed.

Because Joshua is almost pampering him at ordinary times, he has almost nothing to make a wish based on the advantage of his birthday, and he is also reluctant to ask Joshua to do something, let alone Joshua is actually Joshua today. birthday is right.

But in any case, being able to ask to do anything is already very attractive. Maybe Joshua said that because he believed that he would not make excessive demands, and he didn't want Joshua to do things that would embarrass the other party. , but he didn't want to live up to this trust, so he didn't intend to veto it in the end.

"Then I hope you don't think today's dinner and cake are not very tasty." After much deliberation, Peter could only think of this at this time.

This request is surprisingly simple, but if the object is Peter, it is not surprising. He is a good student and a superhero. With his character, he basically does not make embarrassing requests, or Even in the usual relationship, even though Peter felt that Joshua had pampered him very much, in fact he basically didn't make any demands.

"I don't think so." Joshua said, and the two returned to the dinner table.

What Peter said makes it easy to infer that he made today's dinner and cake by himself, but since the other party didn't bring it up at the beginning, it shows that at least he still has confidence in the final product. It can be inferred from the usual relationship , according to his boyfriend's personality, unless it is very urgent and there is no time to remedy it, otherwise even if the final product is really bad, he may choose to go out to buy it.

And when he came back, there was no anxiety on Peter's face. His boyfriend was not that proficient in acting, far from being able to perfectly pretend to be calm when he was anxious. So Peter was indeed waiting on the sofa in the living room with his computer in his arms after finishing all the arrangements, and he had plenty of time.

Joshua is stating a deduced fact, but in Peter's eyes, this has become another way of showing connivance by his boyfriend - anyone can judge that what he just said revealed that these dinners and cakes were made by himself Yes—although after tasting it, he thinks that the taste should be normal even if it is not delicious, but no one can guarantee that this will not be his taste after being devastated by Aunt May's cooking skills and his previous failed works. Something went wrong.

Although this possibility is really very small, after all, his self-healing ability has not disappeared.

His boyfriend is as refined and elegant as he looks when eating, which is one of the reasons why Peter judges Joshua is well-bred. Occasionally, he will have a sense of loss that eating in front of the other party will make him look too different from Joshua, Occasionally—admittedly he had thought about it before reading those articles, but not so often then—he kind of wanted to just shov his boyfriend down on the dinner table.

Because Joshua looks too abstinent, his hair is meticulously combed, and his clothes are basically shirts, daily suits, and trench coats. He can hardly find a few casual styles from the other party's wardrobe, and he is basically wearing leather shoes every day. , can basically be regarded as the standard equipment for office workers, but even when they are at home on vacation, most of them are shirts, just like the model who is always well-dressed, it will inevitably make people want to see a less well-dressed look.

For example, when meeting the other party for the first time and being hijacked.

In fact, he had thought that if Joshua was so indulgent to him, maybe he would act like a baby and the other party would agree, just like every time he wanted a hug or kiss, as long as he said it, Joshua would not He would refuse, but Joshua rarely offered to hug or kiss him, so he guessed that maybe his boyfriend was not as keen on physical contact as he was.

So although he may have an advantage, since they are already in a relationship based on marriage, they have enough time to take their time and let Joshua adapt slowly, which is definitely better than forcing "I think it's time for us" Here we go" is a much better development.

"I think this taste can still be classified as normal, far from unpalatable." The brown-haired reformer said that when he put down the tableware. There was no trace of reluctance in his expression. No.

In any case, unless there is a danger of food poisoning, food made to express one's heart is usually best judged as good. This is probably a hidden normative etiquette in human social interaction. Peter cooks for his birthday Yes, and he only knows one thing about chocolate, not to mention that this is indeed food that tastes normal, and he didn't lie.

After confirming that Joshua was indeed not reluctant, Peter also put down the tableware in his hand—thank God he didn’t find anything unpleasant when he ate it—smiled: “That’s really great.”

The following part was a bit naive, making wishes, blowing out candles, cutting cakes and so on was very similar to the process of children, but Joshua didn’t know the difference between adults’ birthdays and this, so he didn’t raise any objections, although the actual In the link of making a wish, he just closed his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.

Peter stayed in the guest room that day, because it was indeed a bit too late, and it was not so safe for a student. Although they all knew that Spider-Man was not that weak, Peter was still just a college student who didn't look very strong on the outside. However, it doesn't make sense to let Peter go home alone at this time.

The next day was basically the same as the previous days. Joshua went to the company and Peter went to school. Fortunately, there was still food for breakfast in their refrigerators, and there was no embarrassing situation where they didn’t know what to ask the guests for breakfast. But that day was indeed not as peaceful and smooth as before.

Joshua received a message during his working hours that something went wrong with his otherwise smooth plan, even though he thought he had perfectly hidden superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Justice League, etc., as well as most government personnel. , it seems that he still needs to go to Gotham himself after work. Fortunately, Spider-Man has a mission today, and they don't need to have dinner together.

The problem may lie in Spider-Man's mission. As usual, aliens invade, but this time the aliens are actually very easy to defeat, and the number is not large. They are just survivors of an unknown planet. It is said that That planet, like Superman's Krypton, perished due to some cosmic phenomena, so it came to Earth, but it's a pity that this alien is not as friendly and kind as Superman.

The trouble is that their abilities seem to be able to draw out the dark side of people or the animal instincts of humans like Loki's soul gem. In short, there was a short period of chaos on the scene, but after all, they have experience before, and they solved it better than last time. The speed and efficiency are much higher, and there are no casualties.

On the way back, however, Peter felt some kind of spider instinct awakening.
