Chapter 9: permission

(A/N): holy crap thank you so much for 200 reads!!!! Enjoy this crappy chapter lol

"So, anything new?" Natasha asked, biting into a slice of pizza.

"Nope," I responded.

"How do you like Peter?" Wanda asked me.

I felt my cheeks get hot.

"W-what do you m-mean?" I asked.

They both bursted into laughter.

"Does someone have a crush?" They said in unison.

"I-I-" I started. I buried my head in my hands, so embarrassed.

"Y/N?" Wanda questioned, raising an eyebrow.

I sighed, and looked up.

"Ok, you can't tell anyone," I reasoned.

"Ok, we won't, we swear," Natasha grinned.

"Peter is by far the hottest and cutest guy over ever met. I mean have you seen his hair? Ugh. And his eyes, I can't even." I felt like my face was on fire.

"I knew it!!!!" Wanda exclaimed.

You know how you get so embarrassed, you want to cry? Yup. That was me right now.

"So," Nat smirked. "Are you gonna ask him out?"

It started to get hard to breath, and I felt an anxiety attack coming.

"I don't know if I even like him! Ok? Sure, he's very good looking but I barley know him. So back off, will ya?"

"I'm sorry, Y/N," Wanda apologized.

"We weren't trying to bug yo-" said Nat.

"It's fine, whatever," I cut them off. "Yes, he is very very good looking, but I'm sure he has some hot girlfriend and will forget all about me as soon as I go to school. Plus, he's really annoying, so..."

"Ok," Wanda said. "Well, just know you can always talk to us if you want."

"Thanks," I smiled.

"Anyways, are you excited to go back to school? Even though you've heard that question a lot," Natasha laughed.

"I dunno. I'm glad I don't have to deal with Amanda and Casey anymore."

"Ya, from what you've told us, they're big bitches," Nat laughed.

"That's an understatement." I chuckled.

-Peter's POV-

"So," Mr. Stark started. "Got a girlfriend?"

"N-no," I stuttered.

"Really?" He asked. "Oh that's so weird. Did you know that Y/N doesn't have a boyfriend?"

I felt my cheeks get hot, and I knew I was the shade of a tomato.

"Oh! Tha-that's c-cool?" I said, my voice cracking near the end.

Clint was trying not to laugh, and Bucky and Sam were choking on their drinks, giggling. The only serious people there were Steve and Bruce.

"Alright kid, here's the deal."

Oh god.

"Do you like Y/N?" Mr. Stark asked me.

"Yeah, I mean she's a great friend. So far, at least. I don't really know her," I laughed lightly, trying to release the tension.

"Not what we mean, Parker," Steve raised an eyebrow at me.

I figured there were two options. Tell them how I feel and be beaten into a pulp by Iron Man, or stay quiet and hopefully live.

Being the idiot I am, I chose option one.

"Ok, I think so, yes," I sighed. "She's beautiful and kind, from what I've seen, and very smart."

I looked up at Mr. Stark, and I couldn't believe what I saw.

He was smiling, and laughing.

"Yes!" He yelled, with his fists pumping up and down in the air.

"W-what?" I asked, confused. "You aren't gonna hurt me or anything?"

"Nah, kid. I've known you for a couple of years now. If I wanted my daughter to date anyone, it would be you."

"Oh! T-thank you? She probably doesn't like me though. I'm not good enough for her," I sighed, knowing I was most likely right.

"I'm not so sure about that," Bucky responded.

"Ya, we all see the way she looks at you," Bruce said.

"As do I," Thor agreed as he walked in with several boxes of pop tarts.

No one questioned him, or really acknowledged him either. We just let him sit on the couch and eat.

"Give it 2 weeks, starting when she starts school. By then she'll hopefully realize what a great guy you are, and you can ask her out," Tony explained his plan. "But not before then, got it Peter?"

"Y-y-yes sir," I mumbled.

I cannot believe this. What the shit!? Tony Stark just give me permission to date his daughter! Holy crap.

I told myself not to get my hopes up. She'll probably say no anyway.

But you never know, am I right?
