Once we get to a nice rooftop I look around and can't help but have the biggest smile on my face.
"This is so cool!"
I say a bit too loudly.

He pulls his mask off and laughs
"I say star gazing but I really mean looking at the town lights"

I lean against the edge of the building and look down
"New York is beautiful"

Peter had been sitting on the ledge and looking at me.
"Yeah"
He says quietly

I breathe in the cold night air. Ive forgotten how much I love being out at night.

I look over at peter and his cheeks are pink.
I giggle and he gives me a weird look
"What?"
He asks hopping off the ledge
"Nothing"

He walks over to me and takes his jacket off and puts it around me
"You seem cold"
"I am. Thank you"
I whisper.

I put the jacket fully on then clear my throat getting an idea
"Dance with me"
"Wh-What?"

I put my hand out and he hesitantly grabs it.
We spin around in circles and just sway in the cold. I end up having to stop from having a giggle fit.

Peter lays down on a blanket on the roof he had laid out. Once my laughing fades I lay next to him and look at the sky
"Thanks for taking me here"
I say turning to him.
"Anytime"
He says smiling a bit

I sit up and look at him
"I heard what you and may were talking about when I was in the bathroom"
He groans and sits up
"You did..?"

Damn. I shouldn't have brought that up. Why did I bring that up.. I guess I'll just have to roll with it now.

"Yeah and I thought it-it was funny- not funny like haha but like uh.. ironic. That's the word.. um"
I pause and take a look at him cause he's listening like intently listening. I never seen someone give me this so-into-a-conversation look.

I go on and say
"It's ironic cause we both don't know how they relationship stuff works"

He chuckles
"Good thing it-it's not only me.."
He looks back at me then back out at the sky.
I lay back on the blanket but he stays sitting up.

"You ok, Parker?"
I ask looking up at him. He looks back at me and says
"Hm..? Uh- yeah."

I sigh. Did I just ruin this by bringing that up. I grab his arm and pull him back beside me.

"Ow"
He whines, teasing
I giggle for a second but then stop when I see hes looking at me.

"You have a pretty smile"
He whispers which makes my heart flutter

I stand up and hold out my hands
"We should get going"

He gets up and quietly says
"Already..?"
"It's late"
I whisper back

Then I look at him and without saying anything I kiss him.

Instead of pulling away he pulls me closer. I put one arm around his neck and one on his shoulder. He put both of his hands around my waist.

I move my hand from his shoulder to his cheek as our kiss gets deeper.

We both pull away and while he's still holding me I can't help but smile.

I take a few steps away from him and breathe in the cold crisp air again.

"Parker"
I say turning back to him.
He turns to me and I sigh.

Ok I have an idea but
Do I want to go through with this though.

"Vee..?"
Peter asks probably wondering what I wanted to say
"Uh- ok um.. well- uh..."
I stumble over my words not even able to say what I want.

Gosh I hate this love stuff.

Peters looking at me confused still patience and waiting for me to just spit out what I'm going to say.

"Ok.. well"
I start to say
