Peter could not get over the newness of being able to speak to Beth.
It was an impossible reprieve in this hellish life, and it was a gift that Peter never knew that he needed until it was given to him. It was so surprising how it took another person to remind him that Peter was a living, breathing human being- one who once had hopes and dreams- before he had became a plaything, a test subject.
He was a person again.
Before Beth had come into his life, silence had been a constant companion- for better or for worse. This had all changed with his introduction to Beth. Peter had been locked inside his mind for so long, the sudden relief of finally having someone almost made him weep.
And when Peter and Beth had started talking, they never stopped.
Peter would talk about physics, chemistry, biology- anything and everything that popped into his head would come tumbling out of his mouth. Peter would spend hours rambling about the mysteries and certainties of the universe, talking himself hoarse- until he could speak no more.
Beth would talk about art, history and various cultures around the world- in moments of silence she would spout out little factoids that would both amuse and bemuse him. At times, Beth sometimes sang lullabies or hummed familiar tunes.
They did anything to kill the silence.
They never really spoke about themselves- not about friends, not about family, and especially not about their past. Peter knew it was intentional on his part- it was too painful to think about, let alone speak. He had a feeling that it was the same for Beth as well.
And it was good.
Until it wasn't.
A/N- Yeah, I know I suck. I have been really busy since I last posted (work, school, other responsibilities, etc.) Either ways, I do hope you guys do enjoy this chapter.
