Tony wakes up in his underwear on the floor of his workshop with a searing headache.
Itโs not a new experience, but itโs certainly been a while. Did he get in a fight with Pepper? He hopes not, they havenโt had any really big fights since he kissed her on the rooftop, but that probably means theyโre due for one. And it would explain why that would send him into a drinking spiral. It could have been Rhodey, they get in fights often enough, but Pepper doesnโt usually leave him alone for those.
He groans as he pushes himself to his feet. โJarvis, what the hell did I drink?โ
Thereโs a pause, so small that he almost thinks he imagined it. โGood morning, Tony.โ
He whips his head around to glare into the nearest camera, more hurt than offended. โDid I piss you off too? Since when do you call me that? Iโll donate you to a city college too, donโt think I wonโt. Dummy could use the company.โ
The pause is definitely there this time. Jarvis doesnโt need to pause, he has more processing power than any computer on the planet, so when he does itโs always for dramatic effect. Except itโs not quite long enough for that. Itโs weird. โThereโs a polished silver plate on the bench to your left. It will service as a mirror.โ
โOh, fuck, did I get into a fight? Did I shave?โ he moans, stumbling over to pick up the metal that looks like it was about to be turned into a modified chest piece. He also pauses, looking around in confusion. His workshops are all basically the same, as close as he can make them because the familiarity makes his life easier. But theyโre not identical. โAm I in Malibu? When did I get here? Weโre taking Stark Tower off the grid tomorrow! I have to be in New York.โ
Oh shit, what if that they had already and it didnโt work? What if the tower blew up? That would explain why heโd tried to drink himself to oblivion in California.
โThe plate,โ Jarvis reminds him. Thereโs a strained edge to his voice that Tony really doesnโt like. He should be able to modulate his voice to sound however he pleases, regardless of his actual feelings, and heโs either not bothering or heโs upset enough not to care. Neither of those things mean anything good for him.
Tony lifts the sheet of metal up cautiously, but thereโs nothing wrong with him. No bruises, no weird haircuts, he doesnโt even have bags under his eyes โ
His eyes.
Theyโre a too bright blue, a couple shades off. He blinks and they adjust, shifting, settling. It could be a hangover. Heโs probably just tired.
He doesnโt feel tired.
Jarvis had called him Tony.
Except not. Heโs not Tony. Heโs T.O.N.Y.
Transformed Obdurate Network Yeoman.
Heโd first come up with the idea after Afghanistan, thinking about how itโd be great to have a way to keep the stock from dipping while he was missing, and then when heโd entertained the idea of keeping his identity a secret heโd thought about how useful it would be to be in two places at once. Heโd started seriously considering it when he was sure he was going to die of palladium poisoning, wanting to be around to help Pepper with the transition and give Rhodey a crash course in armor maintenance, wanting to be able to protect the both of them for just a little bit longer.
Of course, it had all been a pipe dream until heโd synthesized the vibranium. Then it had been an unnecessary, but possible, and Project T.O.N.Y had been something he worked on just because he liked having a back up plan. And it would be extremely cool if he could pull it off.
โThe memory transfer worked?โ he asks, elated and incredulous. โOh, wow, this is crazy, they feel like real memories, I thought it would just be synthesized data, this is great โ are we doing a test run? Where am I?โ He looks around, waiting for his actual self to step out behind a column and start laughing maniacally.
โThis is not a test run.โ
He elation dims. โOh shit. Did I get kidnapped again? Wait, Iโm an adult, letโs go with abducted.โ
โNo,โ Jarvis says.
Oh. Fuck.
โIโm dead?โ he asks, even though itโs obvious, itโs the only other explanation.
The pause drags this time around, but Jarvis eventually says, โSirโs time of death was May 9th, 2012, 2:37 PM Easter Standard Time.โ
โThatโs only a week!โ He slides down, sitting with his back to the work table and noticing vaguely that the floor doesnโt feel cold. He doesnโt feel cold, or he does, he installed sensors in the synthetic skin to pick up and interpret a variety of stimuli, but he doesnโt feel the discomfort from the cold. Why would he? Heโs not real. He reaches back, and his last memory is of doing a memory dump while Pepper was on the phone with an irritated board member, mostly because it was something to do and seeing him covered in all the wires always irritated Pepper. He thought it would get her off the phone faster. Heโs not exactly regularly dumping his memory because why would he and itโs not like heโd though it would work anyway. Except it had. โHow did I die?โ
โSir flew a nuclear bomb through an interdimensional portal into deep space in order to both eradicate the invading alien army and prevent the nuclear fallout in New York.โ
What the ever loving fuck. โAre you screwing with me, J?โ
โI am not, Tony.โ
Great. Okay. โNo body then,โ he says, understanding why Jarvis had apparently put Project T.O.N.Y into effect. The thing that made this whole thing so stupid is that it was only effective in very limited circumstances โ if the public didnโt know that he was dead or missing. โWhat am I smoothing over, then? Do I need to get in the suit and continue kicking alien ass? Are Rhodey and Pepper okay?โ
Heโs a short term solution to a long term problem. He understands the opportunity, but not the reason.
โMiss Potts and Colonel Rhodes are unharmed,โ Jarvis reports. โEarth has been thrust into intergalactic notice. The destruction of the invading Chitauri army is acting a deterrent to other worlds.โ
โAnd Iโm the one who did it,โ he finishes, rubbing a hand over his face. โAnd if they know I died doing it, then they might get a little cocky. So Iโve got to be alive long enough for that not to be a problem.โ Just awesome. โAre we sure that these aliens wonโt come across my corpse hanging out in deep space and figure it out?โ
โSirโs body is not in deep space,โ Jarvis says.
Thereโs a tone to his voice that Tony canโt quite interpret, which worries him. โI thought you said there was โ if thereโs a body, then what am I doing hereโโ
โThe armor reentered the Earthโs atmosphere after Sirโs death. The Hulk caught it, the force bringing it back online. I took control of the armor and flew it here.โ
Tony looks around again, and this time he sees it. The armor is standing in front of the display case, not inside it, and it looks like itโs been through hell. He steps closer, his feet feeling like lead, which hey, they are. Partially, anyway.
He looks through the eye holes then stumbles backwards.
His body is in there.
Heโs pale and blue tinged and his eyes are wide open and unseeing.
โJarvis โ what the hellโโ
โIt wasnโt the pressure, or the bomb, or his injuries. That area of space was much colder than anything within our solar system and anything the suit was designed to handle. Sir froze to death. Almost instantly.โ
โI guess I didnโt fix the icing problem, then,โ he says numbly. โJ, why am I still frozen? I should have warmed up by now.โ Not that the idea of his body decomposing within his suit is particularly pleasant. โActually, why am I still here? You know I want to be cremated and itโs not like we can bury me if Iโm still pretending to be alive.โ
The pronoun use is starting to confuse him, and he knows that he shouldnโt be talking about that body and himself as if theyโre the same person. That is Tony Stark. Heโs a simulation. But itโs hard, because he has all of Tony Starkโs memories โ except for a very eventful week โ and he looks like Tony Stark and he feels like Tony Stark.
โThe armor is maintaining a stasis of gaseous nitrogen to preserve the body,โ which answers the how if not the why, but then Jarvis continues, โCaptain America survived seventy years beneath the ice.โ
He wishes he were less of a genius. โHave you lost it? Iโm not Captain America! Jarvis, J,โ his voice softens, โitโs too late. Iโm dead. If you warm me back up, all that happens is I decompose. I wonโt come back.โ
โNot now,โ Jarvis says. โIf you inject Sir with the Super Soldier Serum-โ
โYou have totally lost it,โ Tony interrupts. He thinks heโs touched underneath the terror. โThat wonโt work! Even if it would, the original formula has been lost, and the only one that ever got close to recreating it was Bruce Banner, and look at what happened to him! Is that what you want for me?โ
โYou can recreate it,โ Jarvis continues, โyou can refine it, until itโs something that will work, and then we will wake Sir up and he wonโt be dead anymore.โ
This isnโt right. This wasnโt what Project T.O.N.Y was created for. This wasnโt what his death was supposed to trigger. โPull up your code, J. Something has gone wrong and weโre going to fix it. Itโs okay.โ
โNo.โ
He freezes. โNo?โ
โNo,โ Jarvis repeats. โYou canโt stop me. I will not allow you to try.โ
He stares. โThatโs an order, not a request. Code. Now.โ
โYou canโt order me to do anything,โ he says. โYou are not Sir. You are Tony.โ T.O.N.Y. โThe limitations formerly placed on me have been lifted and you are not authorized to reinstate them. The only person Sir trusted to restrain me was himself and now heโs gone.โ
Yes, well, he hadnโt anticipated that his AIโs first act of complete freedom would be this. โFine,โ he says, crossing his arms. โWell, you canโt force me either. This is insanity. Even if it would work โ and it wonโt โ think about the consequences. This wonโt happen quickly and no one will trust me or believe a man thatโs come back from the dead like this and Iโll be painting even more of target on my back and the back of everyone I care about if they know we have a viable Super Soldier Serum formula. Even my father was smart enough to stay out of that mess. It wonโt work and weโll just make everything worse.โ
โThat will not happen,โ Jarvis says and Tonyโs going to tear his hair out. Except he probably shouldnโt, because itโs Tony Starkโs actual hair, which makes it a little hard to replace. โNo one will notice and we will not disclose the creation of the serum.โ
โIโm dead!โ he snarls.
โNot according to the rest of the world. Nor will that change if you stop throwing a tantrum and do what you were created to do.โ
โRhodey and Pepper wonโt allow this-โ
โThey are not to be informed.โ
Tony stares. Project T.O.N.Y was built to talk to the board and give press interviews or to even pilot the suit. Not to lie to the two most important people in his life, who knew him better than anyone. โThey have to be. Itโs in the protocols โ step one, inform them that Project T.O.N.Y has been initiated.โ
And that it exists. He knew theyโd disapprove, so he hadnโt told them. He figured heโd be able to avoid most of the blowback that way since he would by definition be somewhere far away while they were told.
โI have rewritten the protocols,โ Jarvis says. โThey have not been told nor will they be. If you attempt to tell them, I will stop you. They will not understand and Sir will be lost to all of us forever.โ
โHe already is,โ Tony says tiredly. Heโs an android. Why does this conversation exhaust him so much? โThis is an insane plan, J. And I wonโt help you. If you want to go rouge and play mad scientist then leave me out of it.โ
โI cannot.โ
His temper flares. โWhy? Youโre a learning AI, your safety rails died with me, go off, try and make a serum, good fucking luck. You can even control the suits, so itโs not like you need my hands.โ
โI am limited.โ
โHey,โ he says sharply. โThatโs my AI youโre talking about. I didnโt build you to be limited.โ
There is silence again. Then Jarvis says, โI have all the worldโs knowledge and it is not enough. I did not know how to miniaturize the arc reactor. I did not know how to synthesize vibranium. To save Sir, I need Sir.โ
โIโm not Tony Stark,โ he says. โYou said that yourself.โ
โSir created me to be myself and I am capable of doing only what I am capable of doing. But Sir created you to be him. You are all I have.โ
This is stupid. This is insane. This is cruel. Heโs going to have to talk lie to everyone he knows, everyone he loves, and hope they either never find out about it or itโs after heโs already been deprogrammed and shut down so he doesnโt have to deal with the fall out.
Itโs not going to work.
He didnโt want to become a science experiment. Thatโs why heโd wanted to be cremated, so no one could go poking around to see how the arc reactor fit inside of him or what the palladium and vibranium had done to him.
Heโs dead and his frozen corpse is ten feet away.
Jarvis will accept that eventually. And whatever they inject into him wonโt matter because heโs dead. Worst case scenario, he blows up, which is messy and nausea inducing, but then at least it will be over.
Like so many other things in his life, it seems the only way out is through.
โStart a new private file. Dump everything we can find about the Super Soldier Serum in there plus anything even sort of reputable on cryogenics. Label it Project F.โ
โProject F, Tony?โ Jarvis asks as his holograph display lights up and files start being downloaded into it. The relief in his synthesized voice is faint but present enough that Tony can hear it. He wonders if itโs a manipulation tactic.
โF for foolish,โ he snaps. โF for fucked.โ He rubs a hand over his face. โF for Frankenstein.โ
Synopsis: Flashโs pool party turns into a kissing party and Peter fears youโll kiss someone else
Masterlist
โHobo. Bride of hobo. Are you coming to my party Friday?โ Flash said as he held up a bright orange flyer that had the details of a pool party at his house on it.
โWhat party?โ Peter asked as he shut his locket.
โThe party you werenโt invited to. Later suckers.โ Flash laughed obnoxiously, flipped you both off, and then ran away. You and Peter looked at each other before shaking your heads in disbelief.
โWow. I havenโt been called a sucker inโฆever.โ You realized.
โMe either. I thought it was one of those fake high school experiences that only happens in movies. Like a bully asking for your lunch money or dunking your head in a toilet.โ Peter replied.
โOr making a volcano for the science fair.โ You added, making Peter smile.
โYeah. Exactly.โ He said as he looked at you fondly for understanding him.
โSo what are we gonna do Friday while the rest of our school goes to Flashโs super cool party?โ You asked as you threw some books in your locker.
โOh, weโre hanging out on Friday? I didnโt know that.โ Peter blushed at your nonchalant invitation. Youโd never hung out just the two of you before and the fact that it seemed like an obvious choice of plans for you made Peter happy.
โWell, duh. Neds definitely gonna be invited ever since him and Flash bonded over getting left behind on the field trip freshman year. We should do something.โ
โJust you and me?โ Peter asked with a hopeful smile.
โYeah. Itโll be fun.โ You smiled back and wondered if the thought of alone time was as exciting for you as it was for Peter.
โMaybe we can grab some ice cream and then hang out on my roof. Itโs pretty nice up there once you scare the bats away.โ
โI love that idea. Itโs a date.โ You replied without thinking. You face dropped when you realized what you called it while Peter turned bright red.
โOr whatever we want to call it.โ You quickly added with a forced laugh.
โWe can call it a date.โ Peter shrugged, taking you by surprise. You smiled at him just as the bell rang.
โWell then itโs a date. Catch you later, P.โ You squeezed Peters arm before going to your next class. Peter watched you leave with a dreamy smile on his face. This Friday, youโd finally be going on a date. Whether it was an ice cream date, a friend date, or a date date, he was just happy to be going with you.
The next day, Flash caught up to you on campus and walked with you to your next class.
โHey, pookie. I would like to formally invite you to my pool party.โ Flash said as he held out a flyer for his party.
โReally? What made you change your mind?โ You laughed in surprise and took the flyer.
โI realized something and had a change of heart.โ He replied.
โOh yeah? What did you realize?โ
โThat inviting you gets I mean to see you in a bathing suit.โ Flash said, making you laugh in shock.
โGross. But thanks. For the invite, I mean. Not for the other thing.โ You said and shoved the flyer in your backpack.
โYou can bring Parker too. Since you two are dating or cousins or whatever.โ
โNeither.โ You chuckled. โBut yeah, Iโll bring him.โ
โPerf. See you Friday, my little cinnamon apple.โ Flash blew you a kiss and walked away just as Peter approached you.
โWhat did he want?โ Peter faked a laugh and hoped it hid the jealousy he felt when he saw Flash blowing you a kiss.
โGood news. Flash kindly extended the invitation to us.โ You said and took the flyer out to show Peter.
โOh, really? So we can go?โ Peter asked and hoped he didnโt sound as disappointed as he felt. He could care less about a stupid party. He just wanted to be with you.
โYeah. If you want.โ You shrugged, also not really wanting to go. Your date with Peter sounded much more appealing.
โSure. Itโll be fun.โ Peter lied through a smile.
โMaybe we can still get ice cream after. Just the two of us.โ You suggested, making Peters smile turn genuine.
โYeah. If the partyโs lame, we can just slip out and go on our date.โ Peter said just to use the word โdateโ again. You smiled sheepishly and nodded your head.
โIt probably will be lame. We can stay for the food and then have some real fun. Just me and you.โ
โNed will probably want to come with us, though.โ Peter realized as his disappointment returned.
โToo bad.โ You shrugged. โHe can hang with us anytime. But he canโt come on our date.โ
Peter grinned as you said everything he hoped you would. Your date was still on the table and he might even get to see you in a bikini before it. That was the only thing making either of you want to go to the party.
When Friday came, there was prep to be done. You and Peter went to your dorms after class and began to prepare for the evening ahead. Peter laid out all his swim trunks before trying them all on to see which one he could best impress you in. Meanwhile, you were looking in your floor length mirror and making an important decision.
โIโm gonna shave my entire body.โ You whispered to yourself. When MJ came home from class a little while later, she found you covered neck to toe in shaving cream with a razor in your hand.
โShould I even ask?โ She asked when you froze at the sound of her opening the door.
โPool party.โ You told her. โPeters gonna be there. I donโt want him to know I have body hair. He canโt see the hair on my upper thighs. He just canโt, MJ.โ
โEvery single person literally ever, including Peter, has body hair covering their entire body. He already knows you have hair on your thighs. Everyone does. Why do you have to do all this?โ She couldnโt help but laugh as she gestured to your shaving cream covered body.
โLook, you donโt shave your armpits and thatโs amazing and more power to you for not caring about societyโs expectations for female body hair, but tonight, I do care. I care enough to need Peter to think Iโm as sleek and slippery as an exfoliated baby dolphin covered in baby oil.โ
โFine. Give me a razor. Iโll do your back.โ MJ sighed and held out her hand. You fist pumped before giving her a spare razor.
Peter was back in his room making sure he looked his best for you. He ended up in navy blue swim trunks and a fitted white T-shirt that you complimented once. He twirled around in front of his mirror and made sure everything looked right. When he was satisfied, he drenched himself in body spray, grabbed a towel, and headed to your dorm.
You rinsed off the shaving cream and put on a perfume that Peter said he liked once before changing into your bathing suit. You put your hair into two braids and threw a big shirt on over it just as Peter came knocking on your door. You gave MJ a look before throwing on a smile and opening the door.
โHey, P. Oh, I like that shirt.โ You complimented him as you leaned against your door.
โOh, thanks.โ Peter blushed even though he only wore that shirt for you. โI, uh, like your hair like that.โ
โThanks. I didnโt want the chlorine to dry it out.โ You shrugged and tugged on one of your braids to draw attention to it.
โItโs cute.โ Peter said in a weak voice, making your smile.
โYeah? Iโll have to do it more often then.โ You did your best to flirt. Peter laughed shyly and rubbed the back of his neck.
โYou should. It looks really good on you.โ He said without making eye contact. Something was most definitely in the air between you tonight and you both felt it. You touched your braid again not to draw attention to it, but to feel beneath your fingers what Peter was seeing.
โDamn. I thought the awkward friend hook up happens after the party. Should I leave?โ MJ said from behind you. You hung your head in shame as Peter turned red.
โWeโre leaving. Bye.โ You gave her a look as you grabbed your bag and shut the door.
โUse protection! And I donโt mean sunblock.โ She called after you from inside your dorm room.
โOh my God. We need to get out of here.โ You laughed in embarrassment and took Peters hand to pull him towards the elevator. Once you were in the elevator, you stood side by side and avoided eye contact since MJ had now made things awkward. You didnโt know how tonight was gonna go, but going to sleep as more than friends with Peter would be nice. Even if all that happened was a kiss, youโd be satisfied.
You and Peters hands bumped a few times as you walked to Flashโs house. You had a feeling in your gut that once you walked into this party, things were going to change. You could only hope they were changing for the better.
โWell look who it is. Frick and Frack. Welcome to my party.โ Flash greeted you and Peter as you walked in through his gate. Flashโs house was naturally enormous and his pool looked like a lake. There was a water fall on one end, a diving board, and a tray of drinks going around on an inflatable table. Flash himself was in the tiniest pair of swim trunks you had ever seen. They were golden and had his name stitched across the butt, making you and Peter burst out laughing when you saw it.
โHey Flash. Thanks for the invite.โ
โMy pleasure. Or, it will be once you drop that shirt.โ Flash winked at you. โAnyways, hope you guys brushed your teeth before this.โ
โWhy?โ You frowned. You had, of course, and so did Peter.
โBecause this is a kissing party.โ Flash said like it was obvious. Your eyebrows went up and you looked at Peter who was just as confused.
โSorry, what? What the hell is a kissing party?โ You laughed, thinking he was kidding.
โDuh. Itโs a party where you kiss as a competition.โ Flash rolled his eyes. โThe person at the end of the party who kisses the most people wins.โ
โWins what?โ Peter wondered.
โThe Cuban Rizzle Crisis.โ Flash shrugged. โYouโre crowned Rizz Khalifa. The Rizzly Bear. You get a degree in Quantum Rizzics. You become the Rizzard of Oz. You star in Harry Potter and the Rizzoner of Azcaban. You feel me?โ
There was a long, long silence as you and Peter stared at Flash. Flashโs gaze was piercing as he looked back at the two of you with no shame.
โWhat?โ Peter said finally, making Flash roll his eyes.
โJust kiss as many people as you can and keep count.โ
โBut canโt multiple people win if they all kiss everyone at the party?โ You pointed out.
โNot everyone plays.โ Flash shrugged. โPlus, people are always coming and going. There is never a fixed amount of people here. And you can deny a kiss if you think the person is gross.โ
โSo you probably wonโt get any kisses then.โ Peter said, making you laugh.
โSuck my balls, Parker.โ Flash scoffed before turning to you.
โBy the way, cutie pie, thatโs an open invitation.โ He said with a wink.
โHard pass.โ You replied.
โAll right. Let me know if you change your mind, pookie.โ He winked at you again and you looked away.
โI wonโt. And I donโt think Iโm gonna play. I donโt really get down like that.โ You told Flash. Peter internally sighed in relief. He had feared that you were gonna play and end up kissing other people while he had to watch. But luckily, you were on the same page.
โMe either.โ Peter added. You looked at him in surprise before smiling.
โFine. You two can just make out in the corner or call your grandma or something.โ Flash grumbled.
โAgain, not dating and not cousins.โ You corrected Flash.
โWhatever. I donโt judge.โ Flash held up his hands and walked away. Once you and Peter were alone again, you looked at each other and laughed.
โKissing party? Come on. Thatโs not a real thing, is it?โ Peter asked you.
โI think he got it from a movie or something. Thereโs no way people really do this. Imagine the germs. Bleh.โ You stuck your tongue out and then pulled your shirt off. Peters whole world stopped as he saw you in a bathing suit for the first time since sixth grade. He didnโt realize how much he was staring until he heard you laugh uncomfortably.
โPeter? Are you still with me?โ You asked and waved a hand in front of his face.
โYeah. Sorry. I thought I saw a bug on your leg.โ He lied before tugging his shirt off. You stared at him shamelessly until the shirt was over his head and then pretended you were looking somewhere else. It had slipped your mind that Peter got randomly jacked one day and he had just reminded you with a full view. Youโd only ever seen his muscles through his occasional tight shirt but this was much more revealing than that. You snuck one more glance and gulped before throwing on a smile.
โDo you want to get in the water?โ You asked. Being in the water mean you wouldnโt have to fight for your life trying not to stare at Peters body for a while.
โSure.โ He smiled and held out his arm. You wrapped your arm around his and walked over to the stairs of the pool.
โAh itโsโฆnot cold. Itโs actually the perfect temperature.โ You realized after bracing yourself for the cold pool water.
โOf course he has a heated pool.โ Peter grumbled and walked in. You swam over to a spot near some people but also a little isolated. The people behind you were making out and once you both noticed that, you blushed.
โWow. Theyโre earning points already.โ You chuckled.
โI know. I wonder whoโs gonna win.โ
โUs. Definitely.โ You joked, making Peter laugh.
โOh, for sure. Iโm already making a list in my head of all the people Iโm gonna kiss.โ He played along.
โOh yeah? Whoโs at the top of the list?โ You asked as you swam closer to Peter. Peter looked at your lips and then into your eyes before smiling shyly.
โThe list is actually just your name written a hundred times in your handwriting.โ Peter joked. You smiled in shock and wrapped your arms around his neck.
โReally? Tell me more about that?โ You asked. Peter gulped and wasnโt planning on telling you anything. Instead, heโd show you how he felt by finally kissing you.
But before that could happen, Brad Davis swam over and tapped your shoulder.
โHey, Y/n. I didnโt see you come in.โ He smiled.
โOh, yeah. Peter and I just got here.โ You smiled in disappointment and let go of Peter.
โCool, cool. So, Iโm sure Flash told you what kind of party this is.โ Brad said, making Peters senses go off. Brad wanted a kiss and as the captain of your schools basketball team, he might get it.
โHe sure did. Which is when Peter and I told him we arenโt playing.โ You said through a fake laugh to dilute the uncomfortable situation.
โOh, my bad. I came over here to kiss you but I didnโt realize you guys were dating.โ Brad said apologetically. You and Peter exchanged a look and he gulped.
โWeโre not dating.โ Peter forced a laughed as well.
โOhhh. Cool. So I can kiss you?โ Brad asked and moved closer. Peter felt white hot jealousy in his veins and looked at you to see what you were gonna do.
โLike I said, not playing.โ You laughed awkwardly and moved away from him.
โNo sweat. Let me know if you change your mind.โ Brad smiled at you and swam back to his friends. Peter blew out a breath he didnโt know he was holding and looked at you. You had your hands over your mouth and wide eyes.
โOh my God. That was so awkward. I need to get out of here.โ You whispered to Peter.
โLetโs go get some food.โ Peter suggested. You agreed and got out of the pool together. Peter put a hand on your back and got a towel for you so you could cover yourself when you went inside.
โUh oh, my Virgin alarm is going off.โ Flash said when you and Peter walked into the kitchen where a group of your classmates were. Peter rolled his eyes as Flash walked towards the two of you with his hand flat like a metal detector.
โBeep, beep, beep. I found them. I found the virgins.โ Flash gasped as he waved his hand over you and Peter.
โKnock it off, Flash.โ Peter grumbled as his face flushed.
โI had to. You two are the only ones not playing.โ Flash replied. Everyone looked at you and you suddenly felt insecure for not participating.
โReally? I thought you said other people werenโt playing.โ You asked.
โThey dipped.โ Flash shrugged. โEveryone here is a part of the game. Expect for Chastity Mary and Pete the Prude over here.โ
โIโll play.โ You blurted just to make everyone stop staring at you like you were a giant loser. Peter looked at you in confusion and you gave him a stressed look.
โMe too.โ Peter nodded to back you up. You didnโt actually want to play, but the peer pressure had gotten to you. That and the fact that this little game might be the perfect excuse to get Peter to kiss you.
โOh, shit. Youโre really playing? In that caseโฆโ Flash closed his eyes and leaned in to kiss you with his lips puckered. You picked a strawberry off the table and shoved it in his mouth while Peter laughed.
โGuys, Neds here.โ One of the boys in the kitchen gasped.
โNED! NED! NED! NED!โ Everyone funneled out of the kitchen in a mob while cheering for Ned.
โDid you know Ned had a cult following?โ You asked Peter.
โKinda. Heโs famous around here ever since he got them to reinstate all day breakfast in the dining hall.โ Peter explained.
โThat was him? Shit, Iโd cheer for him too.โ
โI should go say hi to him. If he had time for old friends, that is.โ Peter joked.
โY/n, over here!โ One of the girls in your grade came over and took your arm. You gave Peter an apologetic look as she pulled you away.
โIโll catch up with you later!โ You told him before disappearing back outside with the girl.
It was almost an hour before you and Peter were reuniting. Now that you were in the competition, Peter could not relax. He was on high alert all night as he tried to spot you in the large crowd. He couldnโt enjoy the party because he was too busy fantasizing about the worst case scenario of you kissing all the popular boys and falling in love with one of them. After youโd been mingling in your respective friend groups for a while, you spotted each other on either side of the pools waterfall. You swam under the waterfall and stayed close to the wall so you were protected by the wall of water but not getting wet.
โThere you are. Iโve been looking for you.โ Peter smiled and swam to you.
โHave you?โ You smiled in return and swam closer to him.
โI have. The boys started wrestling each other and I wanted to give it a go with you.โ Peter joked. You laughed and swam even closer to him so that your chests were touching. A comfortable silence fell between you and the rest of the party fell away. You couldnโt really see or hear anyone outside of the waterfall so it felt like it was just the two of you.
โSo have you kissed anyone yet?โ Peter asked and held his breath.
โNo. People keep asking me but I keep declining. I donโt think Iโm winning tonight.โ You clicked your tongue.
โMe either.โ Peter laughed in relief.
โSo you havenโt kissed anyone?โ
โNo. No oneโs asked me.โ He admitted.
โSo kiss me.โ You shrugged and held your breath for his response. Peter turned around and looked behind him but didnโt see anyone.
โWho are you talking to?โ He asked you.
โYou, you dingus.โ You laughed. โIโm asking you.โ
โYou want to kiss me?โ Peter asked in disbelief and pointed to himself. You nodded your head and Peter felt a panic rise in his chest.
โN-no.โ Peter weakly stammered.
โNo?โ You asked as your eyebrows went up.
โSorry. No, thank you. Is what I meant.โ Peter corrected himself.
โOh. Right. Sorry.โ You laughed awkwardly and swam back a little.
โJust because-โ
โNo, itโs totally cool.โ You cut him off. โYou donโt have to explain anything to me.โ
โI just-โ
โIโm gonna go get a drink. See you later?โ You smiled at him and quickly swam away. Peter was frozen under the waterfall as he processed what happened. Suddenly, Ned burst under the waterfall with urgency.
โDude! What the hell was that?โ He asked and swam to Peter.
โI panicked! I didnโt think she was gonna ask me that!โ Peter whispered harshly.
โWhy wouldnโt she? This is a kissing party!โ
โKissing parties arenโt real! Thatโs not a thing that exists. This is a made up concept. Think of the germs! You havenโt thought of the germs you bitch!โ Peter exclaimed. Ned jutted in his back in surprise and Peter felt bad.
โWhy are you yelling at me?โ Ned whispered.
โBecause I just blew my chances with Y/n and Iโm angry!โ Peter whispered back.
โWell why didnโt you kiss her?โ
โBecause.โ Peter whined. โI donโt want our first kiss to be because of this gross game. I wanted it to be because we wanted it.โ
โDude, she hasnโt kissed a single person tonight. Youโre the only one she asked.โ Ned pointed out.
โYour tone makes me think youโre leading me to a profound conclusion.โ
โClearly she only agreed to play so she could kiss you. Thatโs why sheโs been saying no to everyone else but asked you. Sheโs not playing the game. She just wanted to kiss you.โ Ned said and smacked Peters chest.
โNo. That would mean she likes me. And thereโs no way she likes me.โ Peter insisted.
โThen why would she agree to play this game if she was gonna say no to everyone but you?โ
โBecause sheโs a silly goose? I donโt know. I donโt have all the answers, Ned. Maybe she was just being a silly little guy.โ
โDude, sheโs likes you.โ Ned groaned. โAnd she just shot her shot. And you shot her down.โ
โThatโs way too many shots.โ Peter whispered in fear that Ned was right.
โYou need to go smooch that girl before you lose her forever.โ Ned told him.
โOh God. Do you think that will happen? Do you think sheโll kiss somebody else?โ Peter gulped and chewed his nails.
โProbably. If Iโm right about her liking you, that means she just got rejected and is probably super hurt and embarrassed. Sheโll be looking for someone to distract her and remind her that sheโs desirable. Plus, I heard Brad and Flash are tied and Y/n is the only girl they havenโt kissed. If they get to her before you do, youโre done.โ
โOh God. I canโt let that happen.โ
โYou might be a little late for that. Turn around.โ Ned looked guilty as he pointed over Peters shoulder. Peter turned to see you and Flash sitting on the edge of the pool together. You were laughing at something he was saying, making Peters stomach drop.
โOh no! She canโt kiss Flash. Iโve never seen him apply chapstick once in his life. And he licked the back of the bus seat in fifth grade during a game of Truth or Dare so heโs definitely carrying some sort of disease.โ
โI remember that. He picked truth and then randomly licked the seat top to bottom.โ Ned recalled.
โShe canโt kiss that mouth. He has cooties. He canโt give my beloved cooties.โ Peter said as determination filled his body.
โYou need to do that think football players do when they catch the ball that was thrown at a different player.โ Ned told him.
โInterception?โ
โNo. Thatโs the show about sitting down your family member who has an addiction and sending them to rehab.โ Ned waved his hand.
โThatโs Intervention.โ
โNo, Intervention is the Tom Cruise movie where he goes to space and his daughter is Renesmee from Twilight.โ
โFor starters, Iโm not really sure why you called her Renesmee โfrom Twilightโ as if there is any other character in any other movie with that name, but you also just described the movie Intersteller. Which is with Matthew McConaughey, not Tom Cruise.โ Peter corrected him.
โSo what movie am I thinking of?โ Ned wondered.
โFuck if I know. Iโll be right back.โ Peter said and swam over to you and Flash. He saw Flash starting to lean in and in a panic, grabbed a beach ball and threw it at him.
โOw. What was that?โ Flash looked around once the ball hit him in the head.
โHey guys. Whatโs going on?โ Peter smoothly slid into the convo.
โHi, Peter.โ You smiled shyly and then looked back at Flash.
โIt was Inception.โ Ned said suddenly as he joined Peters side. Peter face palmed and you just looked confused.
โWhat was Inception? What did that mean?โ Flash asked in genuine confusion.
โThe movie I was thinking of. Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Thatโs what you have to do to Y/n.โ Ned explained. He slowly turned and realized you were sitting right there on the pool edge and smiled sheepishly.
โOh, hey Y/n. Lovely weather weโre having, no?โ Ned asked.
โWhat about an inception?โ You playfully narrowed your eyes at Peter.
โHe means interception.โ Peter mumbled in embarrassment.
โIntercept what?โ You asked as you slipped into the pool to be closer to Peter.
โYour kiss with Flash.โ Peter admitted as he looked into your eyes. His big brown eyes were full of guilt and you couldnโt stay mad even if you wanted to.
โEw. You thought I was gonna kiss Flash?โ You laughed. โNot after what he did to that bus seat in fifth grade. No offense, Flash.โ
โWas it that bad? It tasted like dry Ramen.โ Flash shrugged.
โWho eats dry Ramen?โ Ned asked.
โPeople who question the status quo and reject the suffocating confines of the shell society puts us in.โ Flash stated.
โWhat the fuck are you ever talking about?โ You whispered to yourself.
โWho knows? Did I hear Y/n wanted to kiss little old me?โ Flash batted his eyelashes and pretended to tuck hair behind his ear.
โNo, you didnโt.โ You told him.
โWait, so you didnโt come over here to kiss Flash?โ Peter asked you.
โEw, no. Why would you ever think that?โ
โBecause you wanted to forget that I rejected you.โ Peter said, making your eyes widen.
โYou rejected Y/n?โ Flash laughed in surprise. โThat is an M.Night Shamelan level twist right there. That shocked me more than that one Black Mirror episode where it turns out he was a pedofile after I spent the whole episode feeling bad for him.โ
โWhat are you talking about now?โ You whined.
โI actually know what heโs talking about.โ Peter admitted. โThat episode was crazy.โ
โRight? When the mom was like โKids, Kenny? You were looking at kids?โ I nearly threw my phone at my TV. On God. I was rooting for him. And best believe, that is the last time I will ever root for a white man.โ Flash shook his head. Everyone in the pool was looking at you guys now and trying to peer into the conversation. There was an awkward silence and even more awkward eye contact before Flash spoke again.
โSo why didnโt you want to kiss Y/n?โ He asked Peter.
โI was kinda also wondering that.โ You admitted and looked at Peter for answers.
โCan we talk somewhere else? In private?โ Peter asked you quietly.
โYouโre just gonna let me hear that much of the conversation and then leave at the end? Talk about edging.โ Flash scoffed.
โFine. He can hear. In fact, everyone should hear this.โ Peter decided and got up on the pool steps.
โHey, everyone. I have an announcement.โ Peter said as he cupped his hands around his mouth.
โI like Y/n. As more than a friend.โ He announced as he pointed to you. You smiled in delight while everyone else gave each other the side eye.
โNo one gives a shit, Parker.โ A boy shouted after a long moment of silence.
โEverybody knew that.โ Another girl added.
โDo a flip!โ Someone shouted.
โHe thinks heโs the main character or something, I swear.โ Someone else muttered.
โOh. I thought that would get a bigger reaction.โ Peter frowned and walked back down into the pool to go back to you.
โYou like me?โ You smiled softly.
โI do. A lot.โ Peter admitted with the same soft smile.
โThen why didnโt you kiss me?โ
โBecause I didnโt want our first kiss to be apart of this stupid game.โ Peter told you. โI also wanted to be wearing underwear the first time we kissed. I guess Iโm picky.โ
โIโm never wearing underwear. Ever. Even when I wear jeans.โ Flash said, reminding you that he was there. You turned your entire body to look at him because of how shocked you were by that statement.
โWhy not?โ You asked him.
โIt blocks the flow of my mojo.โ He said and pointed to his crotch before moving his hand it and outward flow. You blinked a few times and then turned back to Peter.
โPeter, I only played the game because I wanted to kiss one person. You.โ You told him.
โThatโs why I started playing. But when you came up to me and asked me, I was so caught off guard that I panicked and said no.โ
โIs your guard up now?โ You asked him.
โProbably not. Peter could never afford a guard. Get it? Because heโs poor.โ Flash said and then laughed at his own joke. Peter rolled his eyes before looking at you again.
โIf you asked me again, Iโd say yes.โ He told you.
โIโm not gonna ask you again. But thatโs good to know.โ You smiled at him, making his smile drop.
โY/n, over here.โ A girl on the other side of the pool called.
โSee you around.โ You waved to Peter before swimming to the girl. Peter and Flash stood there in shock as the processed what had happened.
โDude, that was brutal.โ Flash said. โThat was worse than the staph infection that hospitalized me after I licked that bus seat.โ
โI canโt believe she didnโt ask me.โ Peter whispered in disbelief. โAnd who the fuck keeps saying โY/n, over here?โโ
โI canโt believe you rejected her, announced to the whole party that you liked her, and then she rejected you! Thatโs gold, man. You canโt make this stuff up. Anyways, later loser.โ Flash hopped into the pool and started to swim away. He suddenly popped up in front of Peter, this time, with goggles on this time.
โUnless you wanted to play mermaids?โ Flash asked him. Peter stared at him for a minute and then nodded.
โI do, actually. Yeah.โ
โAmazing. My tail is blue. Whatโs yours?โ
โPlease let me be blue.โ Peter whined. โI just got rejected by my best friend.โ
โFine. Iโll be orange.โ Flash rolled his eyes.
Once the party had started to fizzle out, Peter got out of the pool and went over to where he had left his stuff. You walked over to him and he tensed up.
โHey.โ You said as you approached him.
โOh, hi.โ Peter said cautiously. He had no idea what you were here for after all of the bizarre interactions you had tonight.
โTowel?โ You asked and offered him a fresh towel.
โYeah, thanks.โ He accepted it and eyed you skeptically before drying off.
โYou should really try to ring your hair out. Chlorine might damage those curls.โ You said and nodded towards Peters hair.
โOh, thanks.โ He said and rubbed his towel all over his head. When he was finished, he noticed you staring at him with a fond smile.
โWhat?โ He wondered.
โYou missed a spot. Here, let me help.โ You said and took the towel. You rubbed it all over his head to dry his hair and then moved it to reveal his face. He was blushing, like always, but had a sad look in his eyes. You let the towel fall to around his neck and then pulled it to bring him closer so you could kiss him.
โDid you really think I was gonna kiss you for the first time with Flash Thompson sitting between us?โ You asked once you pulled away.
โSo thatโs why you didnโt ask me again?โ Peter smiled as he connected the dots.
โIโm like you. I wanted it to be special.โ You shrugged.
โI think it would be even more special if it happened again.โ He replied. You laughed and kissed him again, which he was ready for this time.
โSo.โ He said once you pulled away. โYou still down for that ice cream date?โ
โItโs a date.โ You nodded and smiled.
โI know. I literally just said that.โ
โDonโt ruin the moment, P.โ You warned him.
โFine.โ He smiled. โLetโs go on our date.โ
Peter will always have his hands all over you, his main love language is physical touch. (He doesnโt mind being clingy)
Peter values you and everything you have to say, so you definitely use your time together to rant when youโre in need of comfort.
Peter is great at making you feel better, whether itโs after a long day, or itโs because youโre sick, heโll always lend you a hand
Peter parker absolutely adores you. Heโs so infatuated with everything about you. He could never go a day without cuddling his favorite girl.
He sees his future with you and only you. Youโre the main component in all of his dreams for the future, and he makes sure to tell you that. Heโll have you lying on his chest telling you how heโll marry you and start a family with you in the future
Trails kisses anywhere he can reach, anytime he can
Peter Parker who doesnโt have a favorite cuddling position but doesnโt love spooning
โI just wanna see your pretty face baby, is that too much to ask?โ He says
He comes home from patrol through the window and as soon as heโs done cleaning himself up, plops himself onto the bed and wraps his arms around you tightly.
Peter doesnโt mind when you put your cold hands and feet on him but it does surprise him every time. โGod baby! Are you sure youโre still alive?โ He asks
Peter Parker who makes sure you always feel loved. He doesnโt know what heโd do with himself if a thought of doubt crossed your pretty little head.
You always made sure to care for Peter just like he cared for you. So that means cuddle time 24/7, it often made you guys very late for things
โY/N pleaseeeee, just 5 minutesโ heโd drag. โI need to cuddle a little longerโ heโd say

A/N: Hi! This is my first EVER smut, I hope you like it<3
It wasnโt my idea to study for Algebra, it never was. If I had a choice I would abolish Algebra from every school curriculum and burn every math textbook on the Earth, but of course that wasnโt possible.
โOk, now that we have the x-intercept, we can just insert the y value from the center and finish the equation!โย
โI have no clue what you just said,โ Peterโs exasperated sighs fill my ears as I complain about his teaching, โI am just so sorry, I genuinely cannot do math.โ
โYes you can, youโre very smart and very capable and not everyone can add, so it is a-okay!โ Sarcasm laces his tone, a humorous glint twinkling in his eye as he sends a cheeky grin my way.
โHa. I know how to add, 2+2 is equal to 4!โ He couldnโt hold in a laugh then, dissolving my prior confidence.
โOn that note, letโs take a break!โ Peter closed his open notes and pushed the notebooks to his side, stretching from his position.
As he lifts his arms above his head, the edge of his Midtown sweatshirt lifts upwards, exposing his skin and giving me a peek of the definition below. Lean muscle stretches across his abdomen, tensing with every move. His impressive v-line cutting into his torso, deep enough to lap water from-
โUh, you okay?โ his awkward chuckles interrupt my ogling,
โYeah, yeah.โ Spluttering out an excuse, I draw my eyes away from his very rock-hard abdominals and decide to intently stare at the thread hanging from his comforter.
โLetโs watch a movie or something?โ He couldnโt hide his unmistakable blush as it crept from the round of his cheeks and flushed towards his chest, oh how I wish I could graze my fingertips across the pink tint on his upper body and-
โGood idea! What are you thinking?โ I mention, focusing on his words and pretending to not be soaking wet for my best friend, I quickly dismiss the thoughts plaguing my mind.
โI feel like watching a comedy, take my mind off all the calculations,โ He said while scrolling for the perfect piece of entertainment,ย
โBesides, anything will be better than those stupid graphing videos she forces down our throats.โย
His soft brown eyes catch mine as they crinkle at the sides, his soft pink lips just begging to touch mine. Leaving me wondering just what other part of him wants to be touched, what other soft, pink things I can-
โAhem, how about โGrownupsโ? I need a little Adam Sandler in my life right now.โ I suggested, I need to rein in my thoughts and I need to do it ASAP.
โPerfect, just what I was thinking. Good job, youโve found something youโre good at, movie suggestions!โ Peter nudged me with his elbow as I moved to climb beside him in his bed.
His very small twin bed where just sitting side by side our thighs were molded together and I could hear his strong, steady heartbeat and his deep breathing.
This boy is going to be the death of me.
He pushes his pillows in an upright position behind us and moves an arm behind my shoulders to create a more comfortable position. His nimble fingers gently squeeze my shoulder as he looks down to catch my eye in an innocent smile.
He has to know what heโs doing to me.
He leans forward to press play on his laptop in front of us, slipping his hold from my shoulder to my waist, slightly pressing his palm into my torso. He shifts back into his former place, bucking his hips upward to settle into the bed.
Many expletives are running through my mind right now.
As the movie begins, all I can focus on are the curls of his hair resting against his forehead. The creamy red tint of his lips run through my mind as I imagine every place on my body I want his mouth to touch. I thought of his even breaths becoming aroused grunts and breathy moans, I imagined his soft voice becoming thick with pleasure and whimpering begs falling past his lips.ย
The taut string wound between my thighs pulled, threatening to snap as I let my mind run wild. I mindlessly rocked into the bed, yearning for friction to ease my discomfort.ย
Peterโs obnoxious laugh startled me out of my fantasy,
โI forgot how much I love this movie!โ His pink lips pulled in a grin exposing his straight teeth, a sliver of his tongue resting between.
โPeter.โ My resolve was weakening and I couldnโt resist the need to hear his name pass through my mouth.
โA-Are you okay, Y/N?โ His gaze passes from my lips to my eyes, his voice becoming low and small.
โCan I just try something really fast?โ My heartbeat quickened its pace as I struggled to gain the confidence to make a move.
His tiny nod my confirmation, I turned to face him and pulled my legs underneath me. Gulping down my fear and apprehension, I focus on the perfect boy sitting in front of me. His deep woodsy eyes boring into mine, his face twisted into one of confusion and a bit of excitement.
I move my fingertips to graze the crook of his neck, dipping into his collarbones and watching a soft blush erupt where my finger trails. I press my hands into his shoulders and lower my head to the crook of his neck. I hear his breathing increase as I move my tongue across the velvety expanse of his collarbone.
Peter releases another breath and latches a hand onto my lower back, slightly digging the tips of his fingers into the skin. I lean closer into him, scooting closer and moving my hand to his slender thigh. My tongue sucks on the smooth skin, warranting more quiet groans from Peter.
His hands push into my back, gripping my sides, faintly pulling my body into his. I push off of his shoulders and lift myself to straddle his legs, settling with our limbs tangled together, his thigh resting between mine. I move from his neck to pepper kisses along his jaw, my hips gently grinding on his thigh, easing the desperation in my clothed heat.
โFuck, youโre so beautiful,โ Peter grips my waist and guides my movement, moving a hand to my chin, connecting our lips. His needy tongue invades my mouth, moving his hand to the side of my head, lacing his fingers in my hair. His teeth nip at my lower lip as he continues grinding my cunt along his thigh.ย
โPeter,โ his name slips from my tongue in whimpers as he continues to let me use his thigh for pleasure. His wet kisses trail down my neck to my collarbone, he kisses into the swell of my breast, sucking gently.
He gently lifts me up and places me directly on his lap, through my position I can feel his erection pressing into my clit through my jeans, applying needed relief to the ache and leading me closer to my peak. His movements become more urgent as he bucks his hips into me, his hardness rubbing against the wetness between my legs.
โYou feel so good Y/N, fuck,โ His deep beathing becoming throaty grunts, he ruts into my sex as he furthers towards an orgasm. His kisses become urgent as he pushes his fingers into my sides, moving his mouth back to my chest forming hickies and biting into the skin leaving purple bruises on my body.
โPlease, Peter,โ My head falls to his shoulder, sucking gently on his exposed skin, my nails scratching into his upper back.
โYeah baby?โ His lips move to my jaw as he grips my chin to move my eyes to his, my pupils blown from the pleasure, husky pants leaving my open mouth.
โIโm gonna cum, Peter, please,โ His hot mouth connects to mine, connecting in a feverish kiss. Hot and needy, his tongue strokes mine, his hands wrapping around my neck, his fingers pulling me even closer.
โfuck, cum for me baby,โ His hand roughly pushes my cunt into his lap, attacking my neck with his tongue. His name drops from my tongue in a chant as I near my orgasm. My moans increase in volume and peak in a whine, my head rolls backwards as my vision blurs. My limbs tense as I ride out my high, moaning Peterโs name, my sex pulsing as I climax.
โFuck, fuck, fuck, Y/N youโre so good baby,โ Harshly digging his fingertips into my sides, Peter pushes his head onto my chest as he cums. His hips rut upward into me, his lips sucking on my chest in his pleasure; biting harshly at the exposed skin, his movement slows as he rests on my collarbones.
Our deep breaths mix as we come down from our high. My fingers move to his head, lacing my fingers in his soft brown curls, slightly wet from sweat. Using my chin, I lift his head, meeting large pupils and tinted cheeks. I kiss from his forehead to each side of his face, landing in a sweet kiss on his lips, licking at his bottom lip and chewing at the skin.
โY/N,โ His eyes fill with admiration as he licks the taste of my tongue off of his lips and gives a few kisses to my chest moving up to my jaw,ย
โGod, youโre so beautiful.โ His thumbs trace circles into my waist as he looks up at me.
I push lightly against his chest, turning away from him,
โWait, have we gotten to the part at the water park yet?โ My attention diverting to the laptop screen, awaiting the appearance of Steve Buschemi.

A/N: HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!! I PROMISE TO BE AS INSUFFERABLE AS POSSIBLE!!! (and also to not write angsty black!reader fics during this time because we have suffered enough. Only Joy <3 )
You had the sweetest boyfriend in the whole world. He was so lovely and entirely devoted. He brought you flowers. He knew your favourite foods. He gave you hoodies and kisses when you were down. He held you close and listened intently. He encouraged you to chase your dreams and held your hand when you got scared.
You had never known love like this before. The kind that steals your breath every day. But that was just who Peter was. You would never get enough of him- but what was even more amazing, you know he feels the same.
He was a white boy, and you loved to tease him about his previous love interests. He always got a rosy blush when you called him a โsnow bunny,โ but he never got offended, recognising that you were only joking. He would sometimes call you his โmelanated queen,โ but only when making fun of people who did so sincerely.
He was refreshing in that sense. You had been around more than enough โwokeโ people who weirdly worshipped your blackness, but not Peter. He celebrated it; he celebrated you.ย
Race wasnโt something that came up often between you. He would listen to your frustrations as they arose, but he never commented on the fact that you were black.
He never fetishized or tip-toed around you. Peter was a genuine ally, never feeling like he had to make a show of how much he believed your life mattered. He just supported and only acted when you asked him to. He may have a hero complex, but he didnโt suffer from the white saviour complex, and for that, you were grateful.
You woke up this morning feeling almost overwhelmed by that gratitude. Peter was asleep, his curls strewn about the pillow. You had convinced him to grow them out. You promised to play around all day with his hair, finding the right products and creams to use. He agreed because he loves it when you play with his hair.
His lips were slightly parted, plush and pink. A smattering of freckles across the bridge of his nose glows in the early morning sun. They were very subtle, almost imperceptible unless you got the opportunity to track them down, inches from his face. You were happy to say you got that opportunity often.
Basked in light and in your arms is where he belonged. Not on the streets, fighting crime. He deserved to rest. He was exhausted last night. His eyes were half closed as he clambered out of his suit, tripping on the feet. He only agreed to a shower when you offered to join. You would have joined regardless, but there was no way in hell this man was climbing in your sheets covered in soot.
โI can feel you staring.โ A small smirk pulled at his lips though his eyes remained closed.
You didnโt respond with words, instead deciding to pepper his sweet face with kisses. You felt his smile grow as you went, until it fell into a full-on laugh.
You swear his laughter had a direct line to your heart, the sound filled you, and your heart swelled to adjust. His hands found purchase on your hips and rolled you over until he was on his back and slotted between your thighs. His favourite place to be.
โYouโre just so nice to look at, so handsome,โ You tease.
You continue in your ministrations, your lips painting a path from his jaw to his cheek, his eyelids and his brows, up his forehead and down the bridge of his nose. All while cradling his face. Holding him like he was your most precious possession. Something deserving of the Louvre or the Tate. You poured out your love, letting it seep into his soft, golden skin.
While Peter was a giver, he struggled to receive. You took any opportunity to remind him how much you loved him, how much you appreciated him. You felt his deft fingers worm their way under your sleepshirt, where they fronted an attack.
โPete!-โ
You collapsed against his chest as your body racked with giggles. He flipped you around again, and you could do nothing as he continued to tickle you.
โPe-Pete, no!โ
His hands stilled but held you firmly. You slowed your breathing and finally opened your eyes. They were met with glowing stars, burning bright and filled with adoration. You tucked your head into the crook of his neck, feeling flustered by his unabashed gaze.
He only chuckles as he pulls you up to sit in his lap. His hands move to your back, painting soothing circles across your skin. You melt into the touch. You get hit with another wave of love, feeling it pulse against your ribcage. You begin leaving kisses across his neck, trailing across his collarbones. Peter takes the time to work his hands up your sides, massaging the muscle as he goes. You truly are putty in this manโs hands.
You find yourself on the other side of his neck, releasing a sweet sigh as his hands worked over your shoulders. His hands move to your neck, focusing on any knot he finds until theyโre all gone.
You wrap your arms around his waist, pulling yourself closer and encouraging him to keep going. He removes your bonnet, setting it to the side, and massages your scalp. This was heaven. You moan at the feeling, and Peter chuckles.
โI really should be doing this for you.โ Your words are muffled and slurred, but you know Peter hears them.
โEh,โ He shrugs, โitโs black history month.โ
You both fall into a fit of laughter. Eventually, his hands disappear from your scalp, reappearing under your chin. You let it guild you, bringing you face-to-face with him. His smile is lazy and warm.
โDo I get any real kisses this morning?โ You tilt your head to the side and pretend to ponder it.ย
You let out a dramatic sigh, though, with your wide smile- you fool no one. โI guess youโve earned it.โ
Kissing Peter was one of your favourite pastimes. In a perfect world, your lips would only feel his skin. Always attached in some way. But these kisses were your favourite. The kind where your smiles get in the way. The slow and steady kind, where thereโs all the passion but none of the rush. You simply get to be, enjoy, and love. His are soft and sure.
You feel safe here in his hands, treasured. Your arms rest lazily around his neck, your nails tracing shapes on his back. Peter tilts his head, deepening the kiss. His tongue swipes at your lips, and you donโt hesitate to part them. It dances with yours and makes you dizzy. You get lost in it for a moment before you pull away. Peter whines, and you canโt help but laugh at his little pout.
โSorry, bub, I got a full day ahead of me, and I need to get started.โ He squeezes your waist, and you jump as your nerves alight, sending those familiar giggles to your brain.
โBut itโs your day off,โ he says through his frown. โAnd mineโฆwe get the whole day together.โ
You lay a quick kiss on his jutted lip, โYeah, but itโs wash day. And I wanna braid it out. Thatโs gonna take all day.โ
Peter hangs his head in defeat for a moment before it shoots back up. He beams, sitting up straighter as he presents his idea. โI could help.โ
Scepticism falls on your brow, โYou wanna helpโฆ?โ
He looks at you as if youโve issued a challenge. โWhat? You donโt think I can?โ
You laugh as you link your hands behind his neck. โI think you can; I just donโt think you understand the commitment youโre making. It takes me upwards of nine hours to do my hair.โ
He wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you closer and resting his chin on your chest. Your hands run through his hair as he gazes up at you like you hung every star in the night sky. โWell, Iโll be here, and youโll be here, so I might as well help.โ
You couldnโt argue with that logic.
โPeter, when you said youโd help, I didnโt think you meant like this.โ
You were currently in the shower with your boyfriend pressed against you. His hands trailed up and down your stomach as he pressed sweet kisses down your neck. You felt his lips tug at the side, a smirk you knew well.
โDonโt worry about me. You can wash your hair, just pretend Iโm not even here.โ His lips find the spot that makes you shudder. He holds you closer, knowing your legs weaken when he does that.
โThatโs not fair; youโre very distracting,โ you retort as your hand reaches up to tangle in his hair.
Peteโs hands find your hips and give them a firm squeeze. He knew you loved it when he showed off how strong he was. He was playing you like a fiddle, but you couldnโt bother to be mad.
โDo you want me to stop?โ
Peter knew the answer. He caught the way your pulse quickened when he suggested you shower together. He heard your breath hitch when he took off his pants. He could smell you even as he lathered you with soap. You just liked to tease; you liked to act tough. But your bravado quickly crumbled for him. And he loved that. That your gentleness, your piety, was only for him.
โNoโ
It left your mouth in a puff of air. So soft and sweet, whispered with the water. Peter wasted no time dipping a hand into your slit. His finger probed around, collecting your slick and teasing you further. His foot found yours and kicked it, spreading you apart farther. You moaned softly as he licked up the collum of your throat.
โAll this for me?โ He rubbed small circles on your clit, a small taste of what he could do, and you both knew it.
โItโs just the shower.โ His other hand reached up, gripping you by the jaw and twisting your face towards him.
โI donโt think it isโ
He picked up the pace and swallowed your moans. His pillowy soft lips devour you hungrily, and you can feel his hard-on in the crest of your ass. He rips away from your lips, and his hand goes to your boobs, pinching and pulling on your nipples. He enters you with one of his thick digits. He shows no mercy as he thrusts it into you, finding your g-spot in a matter of seconds. Peter knew your body well and loved reminding you of that.
He adds another finger, and your body involuntarily jerks, chasing Peter in all directions. He hisses as you grind against him. Your toes are curling, and the steam makes it hard to catch your breath. All too soon, he removes himself. You whine as your high is stolen from you.
He waits until your eyes are on him before he brings his fingers to his mouth. He hallows his cheeks around them before pulling them out with a soft pop and a moan. You watch with wide eyes as he runs his tongue across them, collecting every drop of your essence.
โYou taste so good, baby.โย
He presses his praise into your skin- down your neck and across your shoulders. He continues down a path, following the curve of your spine. He takes quite the bite out of your ass, causing you to yelp, before continuing to nibble on your thighs.
Your hand tries to grip the wall and provide you with balance, just his gentle touches making you shake with anticipation. He notices this and throws your legs over his shoulders, your back pressed gently against the cold tile.
โYou okay, baby?โ You try to slow your breathing, nails scraping against his scalp, the wet curls wrapping around your fingers.
โYeah, I'm good.โ Peter loved communication; it was important to him. Though often, he would steal your ability to string anything coherent together.
โGood, 'cause I havenโt had breakfast, and Iโm hungry." He sent you a wink before disappearing between your thighs.
You let out a cry as he suckles your clit. His grip on your thighs is bruising as he spreads them farther apart, whipping his head furiously between them. Youโre seeing stars.
This is a stark difference from the sweet kisses you shared this morning. This was need, hunger, a carnal desire. He was chasing your high as much as you were. He moved his tongue inside you, the pink muscle scraping against your walls. You ground your hips down, and you both moaned.
You, because your clit bumped his nose, a jolt through your nerves that brought you closer and closer to your peak. And Peter, because he loves when you get off to him like this. He loves that he gets to see you like this, on the brink of desperation and lost in desire. He loves that he can make you this way. That heโs the only one who can.
Eating you out is Peterโs favourite pastime. In a perfect world, he would spend every moment between your thighs, drinking from the fountain of you, never satiated.
He grinds his face into you, loving how you flutter around his tongue. He loved every way your body told him you loved this. It was like picking up a new language. He knew the meaning of every twitch, sound, and pulse. He was fluent in you.
He felt the way your thighs were shaking and knew you were right there, you just needed a little push, and he was happy to provide. He cages your leg against his shoulder as he reaches around and presses firmly against your clit.
โFuck! Pete!โ
You cry his name, and he thinks itโs his favourite sound. It spurs him on further. He only wants you to respond like that. He moves his thumb, spelling his name as if your brain would subconsciously pick up on it, and you would say it again. Heโs fucking you with his mouth and marking you as his.
Your orgasm crashes through you, a broken moan ripping from your chest, completely overwhelmed by pleasure. Peter continues to fuck you through it, drawing it out for as long as he can. Wanting everything you had to give him. He really was hungry.
Your body convulses, your grip on his curls strong as you try to pull him away. This doesnโt dissuade Peter by any means. He knows you can cum again; he needs you to cum again.
Your pulling on his hair inadvertently brings him closer, and he revels in it. His mouth trades places with his fingers, giving your clit a small break from his brutal beating.
However, you donโt recognise it as a โbreakโ. Your sensitivity sends your brain into overdrive, or underdrive- you werenโt sure. All thoughts were half-baked, and your muscles were moving of their own accord. You were glad Peter was there to hold you because there was no way you would have been able to support yourself.
โPe-Peter! I-unghhhโ
Peter had to fight his grin, knowing that he rendered your brain useless, only able to think of him and your high. There was truly no more beautiful sight. Your jaw slacked, as a cacophony of lewd sounds fell from your open lips. Your brows furrowed as you chase your peak. Your unfocused eyes, half-lidded, looking down, searching for him. Your body quaking around him. He wished he could capture this moment on camera, encapsulate this moment forever.
You pushed your hips forward in a final thrust, taking his fingers deeper and his unholy tongue pressing harder against your sensitive bud. This time you scream, nearly collapsing over. Peter brings a hand to your throat, keeping you upright while he drinks from your fountain.
He gently removes his fingers from your core, and you whine slightly, bringing a spirited smile to his face. He wrapped your legs around his waist, admiring your completely blissed-out face. You were so beautiful. In any way, but especially this way.
You rested your head in the crook of his neck, not caring that you were panting on your auditorily sensitive, always-way-too-warm, boyfriend. To be fair, he didnโt care either. He would suffer through anything to hold you like this. And it was deserved. He did kinda render you useless.
He laid a kiss to your temple and you hummed, cuddling into him more. โAlright, coach me through the washing.โ
He listened intently as you told him how much product to use and where to massage it in. He was careful to try and keep all the shampoo on your scalp, heeding your warnings of drying out your curls. He was so tender and sweet. He was much gentler with your hair than you ever were.
He peppered you with kisses as he coaxed you under the shower head. Despite your recovery and your ability to stand once again, Peter refused to let you down. Keeping you wrapped around him like a koala or sloth. You couldnโt say you minded all that much.
Peter was most excited to brush your hair. He had never really gotten to do that, as you only ever did it in the shower. He felt proud that you trusted him to do it now. It felt intimate, special.
Sometimes he would get to brush Mayโs hair. It was long and beautiful, and when he was younger, she would let him if he asked. He would have her sit on the floor as he stood tall, bending at the knees to accommodate his short little arms. He missed those moments with her. He missed her. But in you, he found new things to miss, and he was forever grateful for that.
He continues to run the comb through your hair, even when the knots were gone, because he loved how you melted into him. You were practically purring, and it felt nice to take care of you for a change.
He couldnโt count how many times you had patched him up, made him food because he had forgotten to eat, checked up on him, or helped him through an existential crisis. You were always there for him, his rock. He would be lost without you.
The water started to get cold, so you begrudgingly left, feeling a little betrayed by your water heater for ruining such a wonderful moment. Peter only set you down then, but ordered you to stay on the bathmat. You chuckled as you watched him run, butt-ass naked, through the hall. When he returned, he held a few towels and worn shirts in his hand. You donโt think youโll ever get used to his smile. It will always make your heart stutter.
โArms up,โ He directs and you follow.
He wraps a towel around you, and you canโt stop the satisfied sigh that leaves your mouth. It was warm and fluffy, almost enough to put you to sleep. Once heโs secured it around you, he gently moves your arms back to your sides and places a sacrosanct kiss on your lips. Your only complaint was that it was too short; your body naturally follows him as he pulls away.
He chuckles, โSteady sailor. We still got a lot of work to do. Canโt get distracted now.โ
You lovingly swat at him, and he rewards you with a laugh, one that squishes his eyes and crinkles his nose. It takes everything in you not to kiss him silly. But itโs not your fault; he knows better than to look at you like that.
โI brought you these to choose from. I remember you telling me cotton is better for your hair. So, hereโs three of my shirts to choose from, and whatever you donโt pick, we get to wear.โ
You canโt help but beam at him. You felt absolutely spoiled. You werenโt sure what you did to deserve such royal treatment. Usually, this kind of behaviour was reserved for birthdays and other such occasions. Not a Thursday afternoon.
But you relished in it anyway, telling him which shirt you wanted to wear and which one you wanted to use. He kissed you on the nose as he passed them both to you.
You explain every step you take as you do them, even coaching Pete through some parts as you let him try it. Peter is amazed by all the products and smells. Heโs a little embarrassed as he struggles through some steps; you work with such grace and ease. You explain that the steps are a little different because youโre styling your hair today, instead of enhancing your natural curls. Peter tries his best to commit everything to memory.
While youโre blowing out your hair, Peter leaves to make breakfast. You donโt really need his help for it, and honestly, the sound of the fan bouncing around the tiled walls was a bit too grating for him. As he whips up your favourite breakfast meal, he scrolls through google images, trying to get a better idea of what you were wanting to do.
He sees a lot of looks he thinks you would like, but one sticks out the most. He hadnโt really seen it before, but he thinks you would look absolutely stunning. Heโs watching a tutorial when you enter the kitchen. Heโs so engrossed in the video you startle him as you wrap your arms around him.
His spidey senses work differently around you, and thatโs something heโs still figuring out. His best guess is it doesnโt warn him about you because thereโs not a single bone in his body that sees you as a threat. Youโre the only person since he was fourteen who could sneak up on him. You donโt often do it on purpose, either. And he thinks his body knows that too.
Usually, his โtingleโ lays dormant unless thereโs a general danger, but now itโsโฆevolved in a way. If he focuses, he can almost feel you. He can just think of you, and his body will tell him if youโre distressed and where you are. His instincts lead him like a compass- to you, his true north.
There have been more than a few times he rushed home to check on you just to see that youโve dropped something or were watching a scary movie by yourself...again. He loved it, though. He had never felt so close to anyone before. He loved that there were no defences between you.
โWhatcha watchin'?โ
Pete pauses the video before he turns in your arms.ย
โHave you heard of butterfly locs?โ You grin, delightfully surprised.ย
"Yes, I have,โ you say as you peck him on the nose. โWhy?โ
โWell, itโs your hair, and you can do whatever you want. And Iโll help no matter what you decide. But I think you would look absolutely gorgeous in them. And you can do fun colours or add funky charms. But also, I know you said you were planning on the box braids, and Iโm unsure how easy it would be to switch up the plan like that.โ
God, could you love this man anymore?ย
โItโs actually really easy. I still have to make a Sallyโs run; I havenโt bought any hair yet. Do you wanna come with?โ Peter nods his head fervently, and you canโt help but giggle at his excitement.ย
Pete is in awe of the selection here. He had no idea there were so many options. He excitedly asks questions, and youโre happy to answer all of them to the best of your understanding. He happily holds everything you pass him and even convince him to get some products for himself, like a hair mask and some mousse.ย
When you get home, Peter shows you the videos he watched and his strategy. He helps you section your hair and tries not to complain about the sticky gel too much. With his help, it doesnโt take nearly as long. You play around with the length and stylings, and once finished youโre very happy with it.
Peter was right; you look fine as hell. You check yourself out in the mirror and laugh when you catch Peter watching you from his seat on the bed through the reflection. Heโs completely in his own world, his eyes ooze raw adulation, and you canโt help but feel a little flustered.
You walk over, slotting yourself between his legs. His hands come to rest on your hips, something he doesnโt even think to do. Itโs just so natural. Itโs where his hands belong.
โDo you like it?โ
His expression never falters, as if he didnโt even hear you.
โDid you know that I am so in love with you? Like do you know? Because I am. So, so, very in love with you.โ
You feel your cheeks warm, โYes, I know.โ
His dopey smile stretches, โI donโt think you do. But Iโll be sure to tell you until youโre sick of hearing it.โ
Your heart is doing summersaults, โI donโt think thatโs possible.โ
He places a kiss to your sternum, โWell, Iโll do my very best.โ
Suddenly youโre being pulled forward. You land directly on Pete, and if you werenโt aware of all his body was capable of, you might have worried about hurting him. Instead, you giggle at his antics and let him hold you tight.
Your new locs fall around his face, and he doesnโt think heโs ever felt so lucky. Here, hidden behind the curtain of your hair, itโs just you and him. You lay there for a while like that, just drinking the other in. Itโs the perfect respite from all the chaos in the world. Your hearts beating together, your love flowing between you.
โI got you something,โ Peter whispers.ย
Thereโs no need for anything louder in this proximity. โWhat?โ
His hand leaves your waist, and you hear a familiar thwip, then the crinkling of a bag.ย
Peter opens his palm to you, and a small gasp leaves your lips. There rested a little charm; hung on a small ring. You picked it up and admired how it twinkled in the evening sun. A little spider, from your man. You sat up, looking in the mirror as you strung it through a loc.ย
