Peter walked out of the school and started for his normal treck home when he came across someone in the courtyard. Well- more of he bumped straight into him and almost fell.

Once Peter regained his balance he looked up at the man in front of him and noticed who it was. "O-Oh hey Flash..er i mean Eugene!" Peter stuttered out looking at the taller guy, he never really noticed how much taller Eugene was than him until that moment when he was probably 8 inches taller.

Eugene looked down at Peter with a smirk, "Hey petey," he said calmly being happy to see Peter after the occurrence of the previous night. "You in a hurry?" He asked.

"No- well not really, I just wanna get an application for a paid internship," Peter explained.

"Want me to walk with you?" Eugene offered. He really just wanted to spend more time with Peter but also didn't want him to go alone.

"I mean if you want to... if you have something better to do you cam deffinitly do that..butidreallylikeitifyoucamewithme" Peter rambled on, speeding through the last bit.

Eugene knew what Peter had said even with the speed he said it at. A natural smile appeared on his face, "You're adorable," He remarked to Peter, "I have nothing better to do, I'll walk with you over there, where's it at?"

Peter blushed at Eugene's remark and smiled, "It's at Stark Tower, it's kinda far away so if you don't wanna come it's-" He tried to say but was cut off.

"Peter, I'm coming, okay?" Eugene said with a smile as he placed his hands on Peter's arms to calm his overrunning thoughts.

Peter's smile got wider if that was even possible, "Okay, let's go then." He said intertwining his hand in Eugene's. "This okay?" Peter asked to make sure that them holding hands on the way was alright since they weren't actually dating. Even though the two had held hands that night at May's, Peter still wanted to make sure

Eugene smiled and said it was more than okay before the two continued out of the school parking lot. Peter texted May and told her he was going to Stark Tower on the way there as well. It was about a four mile walk downtown to get to the tower. The two enjoyed each others company as they walked together, neither of them able to wipe the smile off their faces. But neither of them said anything, they both just walked hand in hand, in silence, enjoying the moment.

At the Tower
4:15pm

The two arrived at the tower and let go of each others' hands as they walked in. It was a modern teched out building, with high security systems to get inside. But even in the 30 seconds it took Peter and Eugene to walk to the front desk Peter could see some adjustments that could be made. Peter shyly walked up to the desk, as Eugene stayed back, as he looked around a bit more, there were two people at the desk. One younger women that looked to be about his age and another who was probably ten years older. Peter looked at their nametags first, the younger woman's read 'Gwen' she was a beautiful blonde, and wore a black headband to keep her hair out of her face. She was tall and confident. The other woman's nametag read 'Scarlet', she had short red hair and a well defined face, she was shorter than Gwen.

"Hello, how can I help you?" Scarlet greeted Peter.

Peter smiled, "Hello, I was wondering if I could get an application for the paid internship?" He asked.

Gwen looked over confused and decided to cut into the conversation, "It's an extremely hard internship to get into kid, are you sure?"

Peter smirked, "Yeah, positive."

Gwenn shook her head but regardless grabbed an application for Peter. It was short, with some questions about who Peter is, why he wants the internship, and some science questions to ensure he'd be smart enough for the internship. Peter went and sat down to fill out the application, Eugene sat in the chair next to Peter and rested his head on Peter's shoulder while Peter filled out the form. After all of five minutes; he finished. He sat up and brought the paper back to Gwen.

Gwen raised an eyebrow once recieving the paper, "Done already?" She asked.

Peter was confused by the question, isn't that a reasonable time to finish that short of an application? So he answered, "Yeah? Was I not supposed to finish that quickly?"

Gwen smiled, "No, you're fine Peter, just no one has answered the science and math questions that quickly, but you did."

"O-Oh.. is that an issue? I can relook them if i need to- but i'm pretty sure they're correct.. or at least i think so, i can look over them again!" Peter stammered out being embarrased.

Gwen giggled a little and shook her head, "No need, they seem correct to me. I'll get these up to Mr. Stark, and someone will get back to you shortly."

Peter smiled before turning to walk away, "Thank you." He said kindly before walking back over to Eugene.

"Ready to go?" Peter asked as he looked up at Eugene. Eugene wasn't much taller than Peter, but Peter still did have to look up to make eye contact.

Eugene smiled and placed his hand in Peter's once again, "Yeah, let's go."

The two then walked the streets of New York to May's house. Peter had to get home and Eugene offered to walk him, having nothing better to do.

"Soo..." Eugene said trying to start conversation, to get to the one question he wanted to ask.

Peter looked up from the ground he was staring at and at Eugene. He had a confused expression across his face telling Eugene to keep going.

"I don't want to pressure you Peter.. but.. have you given any more thought to what I said the other day? I-It's completly fine if you haven't it's just- we're holding hands and acting like a couple, and I just want to know.." Eugene stammered.

Peter smiled and stopped walking, Eugene stopped as well. The two still holding hands, but now just standing in the middle of a close to empty sidewalk, just inches away from eachother. "Eugene I..."  


Hey everyone!! Now i know the cliffhanger sucks, especially with the slow updates (which I apologize for, I hope to get better at it). BUT this is now where you guys get to make a decision! Do you think Peter should tell Eugene/Flash he likes him back? Or tell Eugene that he needs more time? And when you guys want them to make it official :)).

I hope to get the next part out soon! Sorry about the very long wait, and thank you all for being patient with me.
