"Peter! Come here! Look!" Ned yelled and pointed aggressively at the window to one of the stores, causing everyone around us to look at us like we were crazy.

"Be quiet! I'm coming!" I yelled back, walking over to where he was standing. "Ned, why are you showing me a pair of Hello Kitty pajama pants?"

"Because we are all sleeping over at your house tonight and I'm making you wear these."

"Hold on. Since when are you guys staying over and why do I have to wear those?"

"Since like 5 minutes ago when I saw these pants and needed an excuse for you to wear them." Ned informed.

"That still doesn't answer my question as to why I have to wear them."

"You never know, Y/n might have a thing for guys who wear Hello Kitty pajama pants."

I froze for a second. Is it really that obvious that I like Y/n? Does she know? Does she feel the same? Shit, does MJ know? I definitely don't want MJ finding out, she'll tease the shit out of me or tell Y/n. Or both!

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Y/n's voice ringing through my ears from behind.

"Who likes Hello KItty pajama pants?" She asked.

"Uhhh-" I blanked out.

"Peter! Peter does!" Ned exclaimed.

"I do not!" I retorted.

"MJ, tell Peter he's wearing those pants tonight." Ned directed.

"Peter, you are wearing those pants and you are going to like it." MJ spoke aggressively.

"I'm not buying those!" I yelled.

"We will!" Y/n chipped in with a laugh.

I playfully rolled my eyes and gave up. There was no use in trying to convince them otherwise. They're all too stubborn and to be honest, MJ scares me. I sighed as the three of them walked into the store and grabbed my size off the shelf before walking up to the checkout counter and splitting the total price three ways. The cashier handed the bag to Ned and they all walked over to me, forcing the bag into my arms with shit eating grins.

We walked out of the store. MJ and Y/n went into a store that Ned and I refused to go into so we wandered around the mall until they were finished. 

We met back up at the entrance of the mall about twenty minutes later. Y/n had two bags hanging from her arm as she walked over to us. MJ had one and was spinning it around in her hand as she walked next to Y/n.

"What did you get?" I asked.

"Clothes and some other little things." Y/n responded and MJ nodded in agreement.

"Let's go! We got some pajama pants to force Peter to wear!" Ned exclaimed.

Y/n laughed as did MJ. We walked out of the building and down the sidewalk, making our way to the train to go back to my place. We hopped onto the train and it was packed. There were only two seats available. Ned and I stood, leaning against the metal pole as we let MJ and Y/n sit down.

"How's your leg?" I asked Y/n.

"It's hurting a little bit, but nothing I can't manage." She smiled.

I returned the smile and pulled my phone out  of my pocket. I texted May that we were on our way back before sliding it back into my pocket.

"Excuse me, sweetie. Are you okay? That looks like a nasty cut." An old elderly woman asked Y/n.

She had pale gray, feathery, curly hair which was cut short and fell just below her chin. She was wearing an off white cardigan with a salmon colored, loose fitting top, a pair of khaki dress pants, and a pair of slip on, white tennis shoes. She had a simple perl necklace with a matching bracelet and earings. Her glasses rested on the lower bridge of her nose and a small, golden wedding band rested on her left ring finger.

"I'm fine, Ma'am." Y/n smiled back.

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" The old woman questioned.

"Car wreck. Everyone's fine."

"Okay, that's good. Take care, dearies." The woman smiled and walked away, sitting down on the other side of the train with who I assume was her husband.

The train came to a halt and we all got off. We walked down the sidewalk until we reached mine and May's apartment. I pulled my keys out of my pocket and unlocked the door before swinging it open and walking in, as did MJ, Ned, and Y/n.

"May, we're back! Ned and MJ are here too!" I announced, tossing my keys onto the table.

May popped her head out from around the corner and smiled. "Hey, guys! Make yourselves at home." She greeted and walked over to Ned and MJ, giving them each a hug before turning to Y/n and doing the same.

Y/n hesitated like last time but it wasn't long before she sunk into May's arms and hugged back. After a little bit, Y/n pulled away and smiled at May.

"May, is it cool if MJ and Ned stay over tonight?" I asked.

"Of course! I'll be in my room if you need anything." She responded and smiled once again before heading back into her bedroom.

"Let's play a game." Y/n pitched.

"Like what?" Ned asked.

"Mario Kart?" I suggested.

We all agreed and I pulled out the controllers. Y/n turned on the TV and Ned went to get snacks. MJ set up the game and grabbed two of the controllers from my hands, handing one to Y/n.

Ned came back in with his arms filled with snacks and drinks. He placed the stuff down onto the coffee table and I handed him the controller before sitting down on the floor with my back against the couch.

Ned sat down next to me and MJ and Y/n climbed onto the couch behind us, sitting boxes of candy in between them.
