As much as he loved his wife and his family and every single one of his friends, sometimes the only person in the world who Peter could stand to be around was Thomas. It wasn't a matter of not loving anyone as much as he loved his best friend. It was simply that Thomas knew Peter inside and out. The man had been beside him through everything. Peter didn't have to be anyone for Thomas. He didn't have to act the hero. He could just be Peter.
