Wounds That Won't Heal (Peter Maximoff Fanfic)

Chapter 11: One Touch and I Ignite

(Faith's Pov) *Same day* *Few Hours Later*

I fluttered my eyes open to the sun shining directly at my face. I groaned and hissed a bit feeling a burning sensation in my eyes. I squeezed them shut and sighed as I sat up and rubbed them tiredly. I groaned and yawned before looking over at the time and blinking a few times to let my eyes adjust for a moment.

Once I stopped seeing spots, I looked to see it was almost 5pm which made my eyes widen a bit "Shit" I whispered. I hopped out of bed and stretched a bit before walking over to my dresser to pick out something to wear for my date. I wasn't sure where Peter was dating me so I wasn't exactly sure what to wear. I also felt far too insecure of not only my body but the scars and wounds that the other kids had left behind but I wanted to try and at least look decent and have a good time tonight.

I sighed a bit and rolled my eyes before picking out a nice pair of blue shorts with a cute white cropped collared t-shirt. I stripped from my clothes and hopped into those and looked in the mirror to see the wounds were visible which made me frown a bit. I rolled my eyes and tried not to focus too much on them before brushing my hair and putting in a cute pair of hoop earrings.

I smiled softly and took a deep breath before sliding on my shoes. I grabbed my phone and was about to head out of my room until I heard a knock. I titled my head a bit and walked over and opened it to reveal Peter wearing black jeans, a Pink Floyd t-shirt and his black/silver leather Jacket. He also had a small bouquet of flowers, a toy bear and box of chocolate in his hands which made my eyes widen and face flush a bit "W-wow" I whispered,

He smiled sheepishly "I wasn't sure which one you'd like the most so I just decided to get all 3" he said nervously. I smiled bashfully and grabbed the items from his hand "T-this is so sweet. Thank you" I whispered as I set the date items on my dresser. Peter smiled and eyed me up and down "you look beautiful" He said, I blushed "t-thank you. Y-you look great too" I said,

He shrugged a bit and smiled, "I-I was somewhat insecure about what to wear cause of what the other kids did to me" I whispered and wrapped my hand around my arm. Peter smiled softly "It's okay. You don't have to be insecure. It won't make me like you any less" He reassured as he gently pried away my hands and held them gently.

I blushed and smiled softly "okay" I whispered, "Are you ready to go?" he asked, I smiled and nodded as he lead me out of my room and outside of the mansion, "So are we walking, driving or running?" I asked, Peter laughed a bit "we can walk if you want. It's not terribly far away" he said, I smiled and nodded "sounds romantic to me" I said,

Peter nodded as we walked along a trail "sooo can you give me a hint of where we're going?" I asked, he laughed a bit "Nope. You'll see it when we get there" he said, I pouted a bit which made him chuckle and kiss my nose. I blushed shyly and held onto his arm as we continued to walk along the path. Some cars came and went but there weren't many people in sight. It was calm and peaceful...I just felt so relaxed.

I took a deep breath and sighed a bit "enjoying yourself beautiful?" Peter asked, I looked at him and smiled bashfully "Just feels nice and peaceful is all" I said with a shrug, Peter smiled "well, I'm glad you feel that way" he said, I nodded as we continued our walk to wherever Peter was taking me.

After a few moments of walking, I heard the sound of laughter and excited screams from afar. I looked up at Peter and furrowed my eyebrows a bit. He chuckled and pointed which made me look to see a Carnival was open and in town. I smiled softly "A carnival?" I asked, Peter nodded and shrugged "Why not. Seems more like our style really" He said, I giggled and nodded as I grabbed onto his hand and began running "Well? What are we waiting for!?" I shouted,

Peter laughed as we ran to the Carnival and waited in line to head in. Peter paid as we got these bracelets that allowed us in the Carnival and for the rides. I looked around seeing so many kids with friends or families all having such a blast. There were so many food carts, lots of games, lots of big and scary rides. I've never been to a carnival before, let alone out like this before so the anxiety I was feeling was just replaced with adrenaline "Woah...this is amazing" I said,
