"Yeah, Leo, Leonardo. He's- he makes me happy." Peter winces knowing that was so awkward and weird and... he awkwardly wipes at his face, trying to ignore his own tears.
"I'm really not making this any better." He is extremely aware of that, "I'm glad I'm not alone, but, MJ, I'm not going to just abandon you." He makes that clear, even if he fumbles on the delivery.
Is there any surprise Peter Parker would stay to help her? To insist upon being a friend even if he isn't wanted. He knows MJ can handle herself just fine, likely out smart Thirteen if given an opening, but he can't just let her be alone. The idea of her being at loss in a place like this when he's here feels impossible.
"I understand if you would prefer I gave you space for a while, but I don't want you to be alone either. I have friends besides Leo, and- it helped."
