"Honey, can you get that? It's Peter." Tony asked you when FRIDAY alerted you that someone was waiting in the lobby.

"And you want me to bring him up? Why can't you do it?" You panicked over the thought of being alone with Peter after your last conversation.

"Because I'm the belle of the ball and the belle does not bring her own guests up from the lobby. She has other people do it for her. Plus, I don't want Peter to see my outfit until he's up here." Tony explained as he adjusted his tie.

"You're such a diva. And why do you also make yourself a girl in these scenarios?" You asked as you went over to the elevator.

"Don't call me that!" Tony called after you. You rolled your eyes and took the elevator down to the lobby. Peter had been nervously fiddling with his shirt and did a double take when you stepped off the elevator. You smiled weakly at him and smoothed down your dress.

"Oh. Hi." Peter said as his face reddened.

"Hi. Sorry, my dad asked me to come get you."

"You don't have to apologize."

"Oh. Right." You smiled tightly. "Well, come on in. Dinners almost ready."

"What did your dad make?" Peter asked as you stepped into the elevator.

"Well, my dad hasn't "made" anything since he found out there weren't real raspberries in raspberry toaster strudels. But our chef made gnocchi."

"Fuck yes." Peter whispered to himself.

"What was that?"

"I said that sounds delicious." He lied. You rode up in silence for a minute as you watched him. He was keeping his eyes on the ground and you could tell he wasn't thrilled that you were with him.

"Look, Peter, I know you're upset about the way our conversation went the other day and I really want a chance to explain myself." You said as you stepped in front of him.

"You don't have to explain anything. I understand." Peter said calmly.

"You do?"

"Yeah. The kiss was a heat of the moment thing and you just want to forget it happened. And I am totally okay with that." Peter said and forced a smile. It wasn't actually how he felt, just something he had told himself to say to avoid anymore crushing disappointment or awkwardness.

"You're okay with that? With pretending it never happened?" You asked and felt the same level of disappointment Peter had felt.

"Yeah." Peter lied. "Why wouldn't I be? I won't hold you to anything you did during a high pressure situation. I think we both want to move on and pretend it never happened. So let's just forget about it."

"If that's what you want." You nodded stiffly and stepped to the side so that you could hide how disappointed you felt over hearing him say that.

"If that's what you want." Peter shrugged and suddenly felt unsure of his plan. He was no longer confident that he correctly guessed how you wanted to proceed.
