[ There was no question about it. This was Richard he was talking to. Still, it felt weird. Knowing Richard had made it out alive, did that mean everyone else had too? All the people that died fighting Thanos? He shrugged. He couldn’t care less now, for he had one of his best friends back and all he could do was leap forward and wrap his arms around the man to tug him into a tight embrace.

Peter came over to hug him and he’d returned the favour, arms crossing over arms that were already around him. It was then that the doubts washed away, it was Peter and it was all that mattered. The details could be discussed later when they weren’t in range of prying eyes and hearing ears.
Richard rest his head against Peter’s shoulder, glad for the physical contact that Peter had given him so easily. He’d pressed back when his best friend squeezed him, and huffed out a chuckle.
