Nova was walking down the streets towards the school, her heels clicking against the concrete with every step along with a splash with every puddle she had the misfortune to step in.
Nova orignally wasn't planning on going to the stupid dance, but MJ made her promise to at least make an appearance and said that it'll take her mind off of a stupid boy like Peter.
Nova couldn't help with agree with MJ.
That Peter was stupid, of course.
She was almost at the school when she saw a blurry red and blue figure in the distance. Nova squinted her eyes through the light drizzling rain and saw that the figure was Peter in his old suit that looked like kids pyjamas in her opinion.
"Peter?", she whispered to herself before shouting, "Peter!"
Peter turned around and looked around for a second before he spotted Nova, standing in the rain with slightly damp hair and a fancy dress on.
He couldn't help but think she looked beautiful.
"Nova? What are you doing here?", Peter asked. "I didn't think you'd come."
"Of course I came", Nova laughed. "Okay so MJ made me come but that's not the point, the point is that I need to talk to you."
"Nova, now really isn't a good time-"
"Please", she begged. "Just listen."
"Okay", Peter nodded. "What is it?"
Nova opened her mouth, but couldn't find the right words to say.
"I thought love was just something idiots thought they felt", she said after a short pause. "You know, like Sage", she laughed. "Whenever I'd walk in on her and Pietro, even if they were just watching a movie together, I'd gag and say they were being gross, but Sage always told that I wouldn't find it gross when I find love", Nova started to tear up. "Sage always had faith in me that I'd find someone like she found Pietro, but I'd always deny that I would, because I never truly ever thought I would."
"That's why I always denied my feelings for you", Nova admitted making Peter look up at her. "Because whenever I let someone in I loose them and I didn't want to loose you too", Nova's eyes glazed over.
"All it ever took since the first time we ever met was a look in my direction and my face would be a shade of tomato", Nova laughed while her eyes pooled with tears.
"But you have a have a hold on my heart that I could not break even if I wanted to, and trust when I say that there were times when I wanted to. It has been overwhelming and humbling and even painful at times but I could not stop loving you more than I could stop breathing", she said fiercely.
"So we can ignore eachother, pretend the other person doesn't exist..but deep down we know it wasn't supposed to end like that, like this", Nova sighed. "And I can't keep doing this."
"Do what?", Peter asked, taking a couple of steps forward.
"Pretend that we're just friends!", Nova blurted out slightly frustrated before she sighed softly.
There was a second of silence before Nova's eyes softened as she blinked back tears and took a deep breath, looking down.
"I think about you all the time, I think about you before I go to sleep and I think about you when I wake up, I think about when I'm not with you and when I am with you I still think about you. You're constantly on my mind and it infuriates me", she admitted uncertainly, slowly looking back up and meeting Peter's eyes. "Do you ever think about me?"
"All the time", Peter nodded with a relieved and happy smile.
It's now or never.
"I am hopelessly, irretrievably, in love with you", Nova breathed out with a small smile on her face as tears ran down her face, although the rain hid it well. "More than you'll ever know."
It didn't even take a second for Peter to run up and kiss her, with his hands cupping Nova's face while Nova had her hands on Peter's neck.
It felt like a million butterflies in Nova's stomach and a million fireworks going off in Peter's while the two stood kissing in the pouring rain, and they both felt like they were the only two people in the world because in that moment they were.
In that moment, they were the only thing that mattered to eachother.
"I love you too", Peter whispered as they both pulled away and came up for air, their foreheads resting against eachother.
Nova had her eyes closed and Peter brushed away her tears and rain drops on her cheeks with his thumbs.
"But I have to go", he whispered.
"I know", Nova replied after a couple of seconds, finally opening her eyes again and looking into Peter's eyes while he stared lovingly into hers.
"Now go!", she laughed, pushing Peter away. "Go on! Go!"
"Your not coming?", Peter asked Nova, but Nova shook her head.
"This is your moment", she told him. "Good luck."
"I'll see you later, have fun at the dance", Peter told Nova as he kissed her cheek before running off. "I love you!", he shouted as he ran.
Nova laughed and shook her head before following the faint sound of music to the gym where the dance was.
"Oh my god, where have you been? I didn't think you were coming!", MJ said as she ran up to Nova the second Nova made her way over to the table. "Nova, you're drenched!"
"I know", Nova grinned.
"Is everything alright?", MJ asked her, giving her a weird look.
"Yeah, everythings great", Nova replied, still smiling. "Everything is just fine."
Which finally, wasn't a lie.
And for the first time in a long time, Nova truly was happy.
