You didn't fail him, Peter. I don't believe that for one second. [She doesn't have no know the whole situation to know that. But she does know a bit. He's told her about Thanos and being in space and the snap that erased half of humanity. But none of that is Peter's fault. He was surrounded by superheroes way older and more experienced than him. He was not the sole bearer in responsibility of anything that happened that day. But even if she says it, that doesn't mean he'll believe it. That doesn't make it easier to accept his own fate, and the fate of everyone else that died that day that he feels like he failed. Just how him telling her she wasn't to blame for Peter dying didn't make the guilt of it any easier. It was just something they would both have to work through, themselves.
It does ease some of her own worry about him when he finally locks eyes with her and smiles. The kiss helps too, though she might argue it was way too quick of one, so she returns it with a real kiss. It's not terribly long, but better than the little sneaky one he tried to slip in.]

Yeah. We're good.
