𝙾𝙷, 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚂𝙴𝙰𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙰𝙻 𝙱𝙻𝚄𝙴𝚂. peter knew them all too well, so he could understand completely how alice was feeling. he didn’t mind talking about it though and in fact, hearing her exercise her own christmas demons made peter feel ... un-alone with his.

❛ what is this? confession? ❜ peter teased her apology. he knew everything between them was all in jest, else they wouldn’t be able to have moments like these.

he watched her as she stood up, noticing the exhaustion in her posture. she’d be okay, sure, but it still didn’t help the fact that she wasn’t okay now. neither was peter. they’d overcome it together -- like family, just without the blood.

❛ yeah, i know ❜ he replied, lifting himself from the edge of the desk upon which he was perched and pulling alice into a warm embrace; leaving a small kiss on her head as a token of reassurance.

“ i just wanna see you smile again ” / edited it a lil to sound like pete :D

         alice was wrapped in an oversized hoodie, legs up in the chair over at janine's desk. cold, tired, and having stayed nearby them for the last day or so - maybe it was the comfort. just being near them near christmas was helpful to her serotonin, both her parents gone and only really having the guys as family for the holidays. thank god for janine, who was a big help to any holiday spirit, but now ? she was in a better mood with it. as she sat in the chair, thinking about how peter was being the most adorable, being ... like a brother.

peter venkman and alice hathaway had such a weird friendship, it seemed more like a brother that alice had always wanted. hearing his words after she dazed out, there was a smile. " you know, sorry i tried to trip you going up the stairs to egon's lab earlier in the week and we both kinda wrestled ourselves on the stairs. i am kinda mean to you, " there was a small smile poking out the side of her mouth, getting up out of her chair. " you're a butthead, though. that makes me smile. i just have the seasonal blues, i'll be okay peter. promise. "
