Fake Date (Peter x Reader)
A/N: Hey guys! Oh my, itâs been so long since I last posted hahahaha I hope you are all doing well and that you guys are all safe and healthy!! Also, honestly, this fic was a lil hard for me to write because I honestly donât think baby cinnamon roll Peter would be like this but it was also an interesting experience and I really enjoyed writing this!! HEHE hope you guys enjoy!đ
Request:Â hey! Would I be able to request a scenario with peterxreader? I was thinking something like reader likes peter but theyâre just friends and heâs into someone else and enlists the reader on a fake date because heâs trying to make the girl jealous (like sheâs at the place they have their fake date). And the readers never been on a date before and gets upset because peter doesnât treat it like a proper date and basically ignores her all night bc of the other girl? Sorry if this is too much đ

âGo on a date with me?â
You stared at your friend, blinking. Once. Twice. Is this real? Your crush is actually asking to go on a date with you?
âPlease?â Peter asked you with a smile.
âB-but, Iâve never been on date before,â you admitted, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Peter tilted his head slightly, his brows furrowing slightly. âReally? Why not? I think youâre pretty cute.â
You felt your face turning warm and was about to say something when you saw Peterâs gaze shifting.
Following his eyes, you saw that he was looking at Allison who was another girl in your class. OhâŠyou knew it was too good to be true. You smiled back at him. âThanks, Pete, and sure, why not?â
He looked back at you, his smile widening. âThank you, Y/N! Youâre the best. Iâll pick you up at 7? Friday night?â
Peter patted your shoulder with his bright smile still plastered on his face before walking off to find Ned. You stared at his back and rubbed your shoulder subconsciously. Well, you could at least lie to yourself and pretend that it was a real date, could you?
âYou shouldnât have agreed.â
You turned as you heard a voice from behind you, seeing MJ walk towards you with her arms crossed over her chest. You gave her a weak smile and shook your head. MJ was the only one who knew about your crush on Peter. âItâll be my first date ever and itâs with my crush, isnât that what most people wish for?â
MJ raised a brow before she threw an arm around your shoulder. âIf you get hurt, donât say that I didnât warn you.â
You chuckled and nodded your head, looking forward to Friday.
Peter had told you that the place he was taking you was a homely diner so you didnât have to dress up that much. You wore a simple denim skirt and a shirt, putting on your sneakers before shouting to your parents that you were leaving.
Just as you opened the door, you saw Peter standing outside, his hand raised as if he was preparing to knock the door. He retracted that hand and moved it to scratch the back of his neck with a sheepish look. âUh, hi.â
You felt your face flush. You had gotten too excited that you were prepared to just wait for him at your porch. Tucking a stray lock of hair behind your ear, you gave him a small smile. âHi.â
He was wearing a plain white shirt with a denim jacket and dark jeans. Boy, did he look good.
âYou look good,â Peter said, looking you up and down before putting his arm out.
You grinned and accepted his arm, locking arms with him. âYou look good too, my good sir.â
Peter laughed as both of you headed to the diner, chattering and talking about anything. It was really nice and it felt just like a real date to you.
When the both of you arrived, you were directed to a booth and the both of you made your orders. As the waitress walked off with both your orders, you started to talk about a topic when you noticed Peterâs eyes drifting past you, his smile slowly widening.
Ah, itâs that look again. You really didnât know what you were expecting when the person he was looking at came to view, immediately making you shut your mouth.
Allison walked up towards your table with a grin. âHey, whatâs up guys? What a coincidence.â
âHey, Ally!â Peter replied. âOh, Iâm here with Y/N, weâre on a date.â
You looked away and muttered under your breath as you put the pieces in your head together. âYeah, a coincidence.â
Allisonâs face dropped slightly when she heard the word âdateâ, but continued her upbeat tone. âAh, Iâm sorry for disturbing then. I hope you guys have fun.â
She waved goodbye before walking away, however Peter stopped her. âAre you alone? If you are, maybe you could, you know, join us?â
âI donât knowâŠY/N, are you okay with it?â Allison asked as she slowly walked back.
You could feel Allison looking at you and you drew in a quiet breath, knowing how happy Peter would be. You forced yourself to smile and look at her. âIâm okay with it, the more the merrier, isnât that right, Pete?â
Peter nodded and scooted over in his seat so that Allison could sit down. You felt your heart sink as you saw the scene in front of you. The waitress came and put your order down in front of you and went to take Allisonâs order.
You stared at your food in front of you as you picked up a fry from the plate, listening in to the conversation between the two people in front of you but feeling too awkward to say anything. Feeling your appetite disappear, you slowly put the fry back down as Allison piped up.
âHuh?â Looking up at them in surprise, you saw Allison looking at you expectantly while Peter had that dopey smile on his face, not really looking at you, making your heart clench more.
âI was saying that Peter is so clumsy, but I canât deny that itâs a really cute trait,â Allison repeated.
You forced yourself to nod as you wiped your fingers on a napkin before saying sincerely. âYeah, heâs real cute.â
Peter turned his head to look at you when you said that, shocked. You smiled at him. âHeâs really cute and has a great personality, I really hope for the best for him.â Something that I canât give him.
Looking back at Allison, you felt your smile falter a little but you didnât want her to see your hurt as you pushed yourself up. âI hope youâll be able to give him the best.â
After saying that, you turned and immediately walked out of the diner. You donât think that youâll be able to sit there as a third wheel for another minute even though you knew that the main purpose for this date was to make Allison jealous because Peter knew sheâll be there. Sucking in a deep breath, you held back your tears as you started walking to the direction of your home.
Well, as long as Peter is happy, youâll try to be happy for him.
You had really, really hoped that you could at least enjoy this date, or this fake date, to a certain extent. Letting out another sigh, you really regretted agreeing to it. As you reached home, you noticed MJ standing at your porch, leaning against the entrance.
Stopping in your steps, you felt something lodged in your throat, your vision becoming blurry. MJ moved to stand directly on top of the steps and opened her arms and you didnât hesitate to run straight into them, the tears you were holding back now freely falling from your eyes.
âI told you, didnât I?â MJ said as she hugged you back, rubbing your back comfortingly.
âShut up,â your voice muffled as you cried into her shoulder. Of course, MJ knew this would happen, she always seems to know what would happen. You sniffled slightly. You know that you probably shouldnât think this way but you wished that Peter had chased after you at least, but you almost laughed at the absurdity of it.
âHey, hey, youâre gonna get snot all over my jacket,â MJ laughed as she put her arms around your shoulder and brought you back into your house. âComâon, letâs get you all cleaned up.â
MJ opened the door and lightly pushed you to go in first before she glanced back with a glare, watching Peter look at your back with a pained expression before she shut and locked the door behind her.
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
