we all have secrets

Uhm, hey! My name's Peter (yeah, like the amazing Peter Parker!) and I like things like books, science, comics, photography and videogames.

[saphiraindie]

So, I’m guessing you didn’t have a date either?

Oh haha, very funny. I can’t see why you didn’t have one, did you ask someone?

[theamazingpetertravis]

To be my friend? Yeah, I asked them to come home after school some day after school to play the new Pokémon game but it didn't work. I can't understand though, it worked so well in kindergarten..

Okay, fiiiiiine, I didn't ask anyone. I actually tried to ask this girl from Chemistry but she made it pretty clear that she had no intention of going me with me even before I asked her, so yeah. No asking.

[saphiraindie]

Oh, he’s not stupid. Not at all! I just… he’s not really into the whole dance thing.  *frowns* Why was it a mistake? I’m sure you could of had fun.

[theamazingpetertravis]

Well, I can't say I don't understand why.

Oh no, me and my imaginary friends were having a blast.

[saphiraindie]

Nah, but it’s totally okay! I actually wanted to go with someone anyway so if someone else had asked me I would of turned them down, which I hate doing.

I didn’t see you there, though.

[theamazingpetertravis]

Oh. Oh.

I'm-I'm sorry.. Uhm.. I hope that bloke realised how stupid he was. [smiles] Oh I.. I didn't go. I showed up at that sort of pre party thing to make my father happy but it turned out to be a mistake so..

[saphiraindie]

No, but I didn’t stay very long. It was the same as every other dance and I didn’t have a date so.. Kinda boring.

[theamazingpetertravis]

You-you didn't have a date? 

[saphiraindie]

So that dance was pretty uh…

Yeah. Did anyone have a good time?

[theamazingpetertravis]

Was it really that bad?

[hanna-sullivan]

I give up.

This idea of trying to start running in the mornings is just not working out. 

Can you tell I’ve been working on my jokes while not working on running?

[theamazingpetertravis]

Why-why would you sacrifice hours of blissful sleep to go running?

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

Still wondering if I should go to the dance...

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

There was..? What happened?

Yeah. Did you have a girl you wanted to go with? 

[theamazingpetertravis]

It got.. Complicated. She moved to another state so apparently there was no point for us to still be together..

No. I mean, yes. I mean maybe?

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

Still wondering if I should go to the dance...

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

Come on, dude! You need to be more self confident! There has to be some girl that likes you!

Nah. I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal. 

[theamazingpetertravis]

I seriously doubt so.. I mean, there was.. But yeah, not anymore..

It's not.. But it's still nice to go.. With someone you really like, you know..

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

Still wondering if I should go to the dance...

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

True. So, you didn’t ask anyone?

[theamazingpetertravis]

I.. Have no one to ask.. I'm not exactly "popular" among girls, you know..

I'm assuming you didn't ask anyone either?

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

Still wondering if I should go to the dance...

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

Heh. Yeah. Maybe I should just stay home. I wouldn’t be missing much, would I?

[theamazingpetertravis]

Well, I'm not a huge fan of school dances but I don't know.. I'm actually considering going anyway..

[claytonsaulrp-deactivated201403]

Still wondering if I should go to the dance...

I have my suit and stuff.

Just, not to thrilled to be going alone, though.

[theamazingpetertravis]

You and me both, mate..

You and me both..

[leah-carlton-deactivated2015070]

Oh, come onnnn! -laughs- You know I didn’t mean it like that! Well, I guess you are kind of a teddy bear, but who doesn’t like teddy bears?! No one, that’s who! But seriously, Peter, you are so smart, funny, charismatic, attractive…. Oh my god that’s embarrassing… -blushes and covers her face with her hand- forget I said that, ummm so ya great guy blah blah blah.

[theamazingpetertravis]

Attractive, uh?

And I thought you had a bad opinion about me! [laughs and lowers her hands to be able to see her face again and plants a kiss on her cheek] Thank you, Leah-Pea. You really cheered me up.

[saphiraindie]

"Oh, so you wouldn’t marry me? Why Peter, i’m offended! I thought that we were really in love. That hurts." Saphira smiled a bit and talked in a joking tone. Looking at him now, in the moonlight was so different then usual. Deep inside, she knew she had liked him for a while but love was so.. wrong. It wasn’t real. Saphira was cynical about it and she knew it, but it was true. Her emerald eyes looked into his for a second before she smirked and moved a bit closer to him. "I think I would make a good wife actually…" her index finger lightly touched his chest, drawing shapes over his shirt. "I guess you’ll just have to miss out…" She smirked and moved closer to him once again, acting as though she was going to kiss him before suddenly hugging him. "Great words, by the way. Very charming."

[theamazingpetertravis]

"This is why they call me heartbreaker, darling." Peter replied, faking an extremely exaggerated cockiness with his body language. Sometimes he wondered how different his life would be if he were half as cheeky as the Jock at school, how it would feel to know you could get to know a girl like Saphira without her putting you instantly in what they called "the friend-zone". He thought about the first time he met Saphira and how he knew right away that there was something special about her, that she wasn't just a pretty face (but God, was she beautiful) and how he wished he had the courage to ask her out.. He honestly hadn't thought about all of that in what seemed like ages but it was so hard not to let his mind go back there with Saphira looking at him with those big, sparkly eyes and her fingers grazing the thin material of his shirt. "Y-Yeah.." He said, too confused by her gestures to actually form a real sentence. For a split second he panicked, thinking that she was going to kiss him and hoped with all his heart that she didn't realise what was going through his mind. "T-Thanks.. And uhm.. Sorry about.. That, you know.." He avoided her eyes, way too embarrassed and confused to look at her. "I mean, that sort of kiss or whatever.."

[saphiraindie]

Finally Home {Spider-boy and Wonder-woman}

[saphiraindie]

People started chanting and that’s when Saphira started to blush. The green eyed blonde hoped that her makeup was covering it. “I-um-” She fumbled with her fingers, feeling as though she was converting back to her wallflower self and that’s when it happened. Peter leaned in towards her and within milliseconds he firmly kissed her. Without thinking she got lost for a moment and tried to remember what was happening. Don’t keep going. Don’t kiss him back. Think about this. Her eyes fixated on him as he pulled away and sat down across the table from her. “Handsome, I think we need to get going. It’s getting late.” She stood up, placed a hundred dollar bill on the table then moved over to him and placed her hand on his hand. Without thinking twice about it she moved to the doors and walked outside, still holding his hand in her own, as her thumb stroked it gently. “What- you- that was amazing.” She leaned against a wall. “Good um.. good acting in there.”

[theamazingpetertravis]

The last minutes of their stay at the restaurant felt like a blur to Peter. Saphira ended up paying for both of them, no matter how much he insisted they at least split the bill. The slightly chilly air hit them as soon as they walked out of "The Blue Lounge" and he hoped that would wake him up from that weird state of mind he found himself in. "Uh?" He asked, not really sure about what Saphira had just said. "You mean the speech?" He said, ignoring the kiss on purpose. "Yeah, uhm, thanks.. I just thought that would be what I would say if, you know.. I mean, not like we were together or anything, just.." He sighed in exasperation, mentally slapping himself for his awful communication abilities. "I guess it's how I would propose if we, you know.. Weren't us." Weren't us? What the hell does that even mean, Peter? "Y-you too though! I mean, the crying was.. Wow, for a minute I almost believed you were serious!"

[saphiraindie]

Finally Home {Spider-boy and Wonder-woman}

[saphiraindie]

Saphira stared at him, truly and completely stared at him while he asked her to take off her rings. She was quiet. Finally, after a few seconds she clued in with her eyebrow raised and begun sliding her rings off of her fingers. Her mind was blank. What was happening? He wouldn’t go through with it. No. Never. It was Peter, Peter Travis for christs sake. He was nervous… he was a nerd… he wouldn’t put on a show like that but within a few seconds he was getting off his chair and the blonde was staring at him with wide eyes. She wasn’t actually acting anymore, he had now shocked her. “Pe- Peter! Oh my gosh.” Her mouth fell open and she looked around at all the people. “Peter what are you doing?!” She whispered, looking at his eyes intensely until he began talking and then it happened. Right in front of everyone in the restaurant she began to cry. Why was this affecting her so much? It was fake. It was fake and she shouldn’t have been reacting. Saphira just stared at him and nodded lightly. “Uhuh- I- Um-hmph” Her words were completely caught and she moved forward, pressing a soft kiss against his cheek while batting her eyelashes against his skin. “I think you win.” she blushed, pulling back slightly. “Yes. Yes I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” Claps erupted around them. “Free dessert for the lovely couple!” Yelled the waiter with a loving expression.

[theamazingpetertravis]

Peter's smile faltered a bit when Saphira started crying. Wow, she really was good. If he didn't know better he would've though she was really touched.. Or maybe she just kind of liked the speech? Everything was getting more and more confusing. Peter was starting to go back to his seat, the fact that they actually had all eyes on them finally sinking in, when a guy from one of the tables screamed "Come on dude, kiss her!" He didn't even have time to think of a reply when more people started chanting "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" He looked at Saphira, hoping she was the only one who could see the panic in his eyes and then gently cupped her face, kissing her softly but firmly on the lips. He kept his gaze fixed on her as he pulled away, smiling embarrassedly as he finally sat down and the waiter finally brought them dessert. He almost didn't notice though; his mind was lost somewhere in between the past minute and it certainly didn't seem like it was gonna find its way back anytime soon. What the hell was that?

[leah-carlton-deactivated2015070]

... I'm sorry Pete... I know you loved her. Hang in there, ok? Rae doesn't know what she's miss'in. -smiles- Your a good guy, you'll find Miss Right someday.

[theamazingpetertravis]

Apparently when people, especially girls, say "you're a good guy", what they really mean is "you're sweet like some kind of teddy bear or a gay friend but that's pretty much it mate, sorry about that." [laughs]

[saphiraindie]

Finally Home {Spider-boy and Wonder-woman}

[saphiraindie]

Saph looked down at her menu and like Peter, handed it to the waiter. She was going to win at this. It wasn’t hard, she just found it funny. Although… a part of her enjoyed talking to Peter like this. She brushed it off and glanced over at him, then leaned in and whispered. “You do look good, by the way. I wasn’t acting.” She wasn’t trying to play him or anything. She just loved the site of him blushing. Her thumb subconsciously stroked his hand as she leaned back away from him and toasted with him, getting stares from the people around them. “Oh my gosh… what if he comes back and we say that we aren’t together anymore? Do you think they’ll bring us free dessert?” She laughed a bit with a radiant smile.

[theamazingpetertravis]

Peter couldn't stop himself from turning red at the girl's words. It was no secret his self-esteem wasn't exactly as high as the Eiffel Tower, but for some reason he always believed Saphira whenever she said something like that. He trusted her too much not to. "Thank you." He smiled. "But I'm sure at least a good 80% of the people in the restaurant is wondering how could someone like you be with someone like me!" For a moment, he found himself thinking about it. Saphira and him? That would've been ridiculous. Totally absurd.. Right? He mentally kicked himself and tried to focus on the blonde's words. "I have a better idea." He stated, an evil expression on his face as he pointed at Saphira's hands. "Take one of your rings off and hold it between your fingers with a shocked expression on your face." Saphira looked slightly confused for a second, before finally doing what he suggested. With a last playful glance at the girl, Peter got up and kneeled down right next to Saphira's chair, taking the hand that wasn't holding the ring in his and feeling all eyes on him. "Saphira Murray, as soon as I met you I knew you were gonna be special. What I didn't know, is how hard I was gonna fall for you. It's been three years since I realised how lucky I was to have you in my life and I never, ever want to risk losing you to another man. What I want is to make you happy and when I can't, be by your side when you're sad, angry or frustrated. I want you and everything about you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?"
