Peter Stark: one shots

tennessee part 2 [parley]

i sit down in my seat, ready for the academic decathlon competition. i stare at braden, not taking my eyes off him for a second until i see a bead of sweat drip off his forehead. he knows who i am. they all do.

i look over at kie (whos on the other team) and smile. then search for harley sat in the crowd and smile sweetly when i see him as he blows me a kiss and winks. i beam back at him as i nod at my teammates reassuringly. not that they really need reassurance, we're all super smart so theres a low chance well lose.

as the questions begin, theres barely a second after each is asked before our team buzzes, some even before he finishes the question. every so often the opposing team gets a question right and its only really kie that answers. i see braden beam with pride every time. he doesnt deserve it.

once the competition is over braden comes over to us to shake liz's hand. she ignores him, like the rest of us. its not bad sportsmanship, its just because he bullies harley who they all took a liking to at the coffee shop.

braden scoffs and waltzes back over to his team. harley runs up to kie and gives her a hug. with my super hearing i catch him whisper 'you did great kie.' she did. the rest of the team not so much.

i walk over to harley, kie and their friends "hey harlssss!" i wrap my arms around his waist as he turns to face me. "we were gonna go to the cafe again to celebrate. did your team want to come?"

i see them all frantically nod at coming with us and grab harleys hand, dragging him back to my team followed by rose hill's. i guess they chose to ignore us being all lovey dovey.

when we get to the cafe, we push together the same tables as before and all squeeze round. i sit on harleys lap to save room, mj sharing with kirsten.

i lean down and place a small kiss on the tip of harleys nose and he pulls me in, pecking my lips. i hear mj make a gagging noise and kie laughs at her. i just raise my eyebrow at their current situation and they both stop.

after we order some food, i look away from my conversation as one person on harleys team speaks up "s-so are you peter stark?"

i nod at them and their eyes widen in excitement. "i knew it!" i hear them whisper to their friend. they turn back to me "and a-are you dating harley?"

i nod again and snuggle closer on his lap. "thats awesome! and are kirsten and your friend dating?"

"honestly were not sure." harley laughs and wraps an arm round me. i hear mj laugh as kie pecks her on the nose.

my friends laugh a little and carry on with their conversations. i peck harley on the nose and then hop up off his lap, much to his disappointment.

"im just going to the bathroom!" i whisper and then look over to braden. "hey can i talk to you?" he nods and i walk towards the mens bathroom, hearing him follow behind.

as soon as he steps in, i grab him by the colllar and slam him into the closest wall. i see the colour drain from his face and i lean slightly closer, my arm pressing lightly on his neck.

"i heard that you've been bullying harley, my boyfriend?" he gulps loudly before shaking his head frantically. "i don't believe that in the slightest. if you ever do anything to harley again i wont hesitate to hurt you. i wont hesitate to ruin your life. you know who i am. you know what im capable of!"

i lean back and take my arm off his neck as he frantically nods and runs out of the toilets. i chuckle to myself slightly and make my way slowly back to the group. i smile at harley and sit back on his lap, joining in with the conversation.

—————————————[saying goodbye the next day]

harley pulls me into his chest as me wraps his arm around me. i nuggle my face into the crevice of his neck and take in his comforting smell. i lean back and pull harley into a kiss. he stuffs his tongue into my mouth and i wrap my arms around his neck.

he pulls back and rests his forehead against mine. he leans down and pecks my nose before taking a step back and passing me my bag.

"message me when you get home safe and call me when you can okay?" he says softly pulling me into a last hug.

"okay. as long as you let me know if braden bothers you again?" i look him in the eyes.

he sighs. "fine."

i peck him on the lips before running over to the bus, waving goodbye to kie as she hugs bye to mj. i place my bag in the bottom of the bus and hop on, sitting next to ned. i wave to kirsten and blow a kiss to harley then slump back in my seat, preparing myself for another long journey.
