Forever

94

Another day to celebrate comes around finally, but, this time, it's no one's birthday. Today is the day Peter finally makes it out of Midtown and graduates to move on to whatever he wants to do next.

After he's already left home to head for school, Bree is all hyped up about it as she finishes getting ready, while Pietro lays flat at the end of the bed. He's been forced to come along with her, so she doesn't have to be alone, being that the rest won't be there to overwhelm or crowd Peter. A few of them may love to embarrass the poor boy, but todays too big of a deal for them to mess it up now.

When Bree is ready, she pats Pietro's knee to get him up as she heads out the bedroom door and he lifts his head to watch her go with a slow smile.

"Cute." He sits up with a quiet sigh and follows her to the elevator.

They don't run down the stairs this time, because of her hair that she took too long of a time to do right. So he's stuck in the slow elevator, leaning against the wall while staring at her.

"Smile for me?" She hopes and he slowly grins a bit while shaking his head. "Thank you." She turns away. "You look like a grouch." She taps his chest with the back of her hand, making him chuckle as he stands up straight with his hands in his pockets. "Cheer up."

"I am..." He starts with an agape smile and she looks up at him with a small one of her own. "So excited right now." He shakes his head and she turns away with a happy eye-roll. "I can't wait to stand in the heat for an hour to watch a bunch of students that I don't care about graduate, until they get to the one I do care about before they move right back to the people I don't, it'll be so much fun." He shrugs while she tries hard to hold back her laugh. "I just can't wait."

"I knew you'd be happy." She rubs up and down his arm as the doors open and he shakes his head. "Come on."

The ceremony for the graduation is set on the football feild where the family members and friends sit in the bleachers or stand around the gate to the track. Meanwhile, Bree and Pietro sit patiently in her car, waiting to see the guests crowding the feild when it's done.

But they happen to be waiting in a not-so-appropriate way. She's just leaning her crossed arms on the center council and sitting on her knees, attached to him by the lips.

"Is this supposed to be the normal teenage experience that the movies talk about?" He jokes between kisses and tilts his head back into hers. "Sneaking around..?" He places his hand on her jawline and she slowly smiles. "Making out in the schools parking lot..?"

"I have no idea." She shakes her head with a small, but bright smile.

He slowly smirks a bit while pushing her hair behind her ear before he sees movement out of the corner of his eye. He turns to look out of the front windsheild to see the crowd forming on the field and she's quick to turn forward and exit the car. He sighs with a small groan before he follows her out while she giggles at him.

"We can run closer?" She offers, satisfying him enough to make him grin slightly.

He takes her right to the entrance of the gate, scaring a few people around them. They pretend to stay oblivious to the little bit of shocked eyes staring directly at them and Bree grabs a tight hold of his fingers to guide him through the tight pockets, until he spots the boy they're looking for up ahead.

Peter relaxes with MJ and Ned after May has forced them into multiple pictures and turns away to look up at MJ with a small smile. He spots Bree coming for him with the scrunched-up nose and smile of a proud sister. His brows raise happily as he puts his arms out for her to throw hers around his neck with an excitedly humming giggle.

"My boy's so old." She sings and he chuckles. "Time for Harvard."

May stands silent in shock without having known the two were going to be there, just like the rest, except May hasn't met Bree yet.

"Tell your dad to recommend me, I'll be in in two seconds." He jokes and she laughs a bit while backing up on her heels.

"You'd make it in easily without him anyway." She nods surely and he grins slightly as she turns to May, who now smiles brightly at her. "Hi, May, I'm so glad to finally meet you." She shakes her head with her hands together as Pietro congratulates Peter and pats his back.

"Hi!" She chuckles and Bree's eyes go wide for a moment with a small giggle. "Oh, my God, Hi!" She forces her into a loving hug, making her laugh as Peter takes a deep and nervous breath. "I am a huge fan, I can't even..." She starts as they let go with her hands on her shoulders.

"Huge." Peter repeats and MJ chuckles with Ned.

"I'm a fan of you too." Bree nods. "Peter speaks so highly of you, I've wanted to meet you for so long."

"Well, here I am." She shrugs, still not fully sure what to do before Bree backs up and into Pietro to hold him behind her as he lays his arms over her shoulders.

"I'm surprised you guys came with all the public eye surrounding you." Peter motions to the watchers and others that are completely oblivious.

"Yeah, there's gonna be a shit ton of people everywhere we go, we might as well do what we want anyway." She shrugs.

"You want." Pietro corrects and she lightly wacks his arm.

"He doesn't wanna be here, but I don't care." She shrugs again with a grin and they chuckle. "I need my guard dog." She jokes, making him smile down at her. "But we do have to leave in a minute to avoid the swarm." She holds Peter's arm with wrinkled brows and he nods in understanding. "I just wanted to be here for you, so you know we didn't forget about you, and we'll see you later tonight anyway, right?" She nods while letting him go as Pietro grabs her hips.

"Yes." He nods surely.

"Okay, good." She smiles. "Bye, guys, it's was lovely to see you again and great to meet you." She nods to MJ and Ned before pointing at May. "I'll see you all later." She turns to Pietro. "Be nice, say goodbye." She chuckles and he rolls his eyes with a tongue-biting smirk.

"Goodbye." He nods gently while they grin shyly at him. "Peter." He nods.

"Pietro." He shakes his head and he smile before the two are gone with a blur.
