"That new friend of yours is waiting back there, by the way.", Ben pointed out, his tone less stern and almost amused. Peter shot around. Liam was leaning against the corner of the hallway, a friendly smile on his lips. "I really like that boy. You should keep him around. He's a nice fellow. And criminally handsome, I've never seen a boy like him. "Peter was close to dying of embarrassment. "You're always welcome in our household!" Ben called out to Liam. "Regardless of day or night.", he added just to make Peter wish he could disappear on the spot. 

"Thank you, Mr. Parker. Good to know.", Liam answered with an amused smirk. He was cruel enough to enjoy how Peter squirmed under his uncle's statements. "Don't forget May.", Ben reminded his nephew for a final time, then left. Peter laughed out loud at the absurdity of this situation.  "He's a character.", he told Liam in embarrassment.

"I like him." Liam shrugged, peeling himself off the wall casually. "So, did you get expelled?" he asked, looking down at his boyfriend with a frown. "No, no. I didn't get expelled. I got community service." Peter quickly declined. "Whatever that is supposed to mean.", he added with a smile. "So... What happens to our plans now?" Liam licked his lips while continuing to look down at Peter. It was almost comically how quickly he could catch Peter's full attention.

"Nothing... we're going skating.", Peter answered. "Now."  Liam rose an eyebrow. "Peter Parker wants to ditch for hanging with his boyfriend?" "I got sent home for today. And you don't care about sports anyway." Peter grinned. "Ok, you convinced me. Let's go, Skater boy. Show me what you got."

There was an empty warehouse near the river that was the perfect skate spot for Peter. Old cans and tubes lying around were the ideal parkour for jumping and spinning, and the carcass of an old ship left forgotten in the open hall was practically a halfpipe. He started with a jump over a bucket, then challenged himself to get higher and higher, the wind running through his hair and a smile on his lips.

He balanced the board on pipes and railings, casually flipping back to his feet when he felt like it was nothing. Liam was standing close by, arms crossed and enjoying the view. Occasionally he complimented Peter on his tricks or told him how good he looked. Liam clearly had a thing for skater boys, and Peter was happily delivering the pictures for his fantasies. There had never been someone so excited, so supportive of his hobby, and to have that now was just amazing.

He was a lucky guy, and to be honest, he could still not explain how he had managed to score that male model that even managed to make his rusty surroundings look like the place to be. All the adrenaline made Peter cocky, and he jumped up, holding on to the ledges of the ship, then letting himself fall back down onto his board, where he rode off to Liam, elegantly coming to a halt and flipping the skateboard into his hand like a pro.

Liam beamed at him, and Peter pulled him down to his level to connect their lips for a short, happy kiss of excitement.  "I have an idea.", he then told his boyfriend, whose eyes were almost bursting with adoration for him. "Show me," Liam encouraged him to go on about it, and Peter grabbed his hand to drag him closer to the metallic carcass.
