And he would say as such, except Natasha's last message suggests that maybe, if they continue to broach this topic, it's best done face-to-face, where there's less chance of ... misunderstandings.
So as he swings through the city, it's with haste. He just wants to get there because he knows that the truth can sometimes take a huge toll, emotionally speaking.
And he wants very much to reassure her - in person - that yes, he absolutely feels the same.
For as much as he doesn't really want to show up empty-handed, Peter also doesn't want to waste time stopping, especially while he's in costume. Inevitably, he'd get tied up doing something or the other and right now, she's his first priority.
When he does eventually slip through the open window, he makes a silent promise that next time, he'll knock at the door properly, and he'll have flowers or food or something fitting for the woman that he ... well, that he's got big, big feelings for.]
[It was good to discuss such things in person. Nat wasn't really worried about miscommunications between them, but she wanted to touch Peter and hear the warmth in his voice when they talked about things as wandering as feelings, a topic that Natasha hadn't broached with anyone in ages-- not true ones at least.
The widow was incredibly talented in pretending, or was that acting. She was very good at her job and getting things from men as she needed, but this level of commitment meant closing off a certain aspect of her career that she employed without feeling because the new and emergent feelings she did have were far more important now.
Hearing Peter come in, Natasha drops what she's doing and smiles.]
