Peter expected a lot of things from his words. Laughter, maybe. A swift and harsh rejection. At best, maybe Jesse saying that they were just meant to be friends, something like that. In other words, he'd expected nothing good to come from his words. He wasn't the one to expect or hope for a happily ever after, not with his past, he was okay with that.
Now, what he hadn't expected was to get tackled. Or kissed, for that matter. All he knew was that he was suddenly on his back, there was grass in his hair, and his eyes were as wide as saucers. "I' guess that's a yes, then?" He shook his head. "And a sign would've been incredibly helpful, as a matter of fact. Would've cleared things up nicely." He admitted, sitting up slightly. "I warn you, my dating experience is pretty limited, I haven't exactly had a lot of opportunities while I was busy crushing on you." He said, still blushing enough to put a fire truck to shame. He could imagine his mother's embarrassment right then. Beyond her serious holdup on PDA, which was a sin in her book, she'd been a hardcore religious nut, from what he remembered about her, which wasn't much. The idea of having a son who was dating another guy, it would've given her a stroke. He had no idea what the gods thought about the LGBT+ community, but he figured that at least some of them had to be a little closeminded.
As usual, his mind was rambling in a way that only his could, going off on a tangent to try to distract him. He hadn't come to camp for dating opportunities, but... He was a teenager. An older teenager, but a teenager nonetheless. He was allowed to enjoy some parts of that, and Jesse was hardly a small benefit to his time at camp. Hell, between Jesse and Ginny, Peter actually felt like he was useful occasionally, whether it was by comforting Ginny over her 'recent' breakup from Silas, or just being around Jesse, which was a calming effect on its own.
"We could skip the waiting part altogether and go swimming now. I doubt there would be anyone at the lake, and we can get away from.... People." There were a few people in the arena looking at them, which always made Peter a bit uncomfortable, like they could see right through him.
