"Peter. I like you" You say, taking a sigh of relief. "Y-You like me?" He stutters. "I-I can't. I'm sorry" He blurts and swiftly walks away from your apartment to his, which is located right next to yours. Leaving you alone.

====

You walked down the hallways. Feeling empty and lonely. Peter and Ned were your only friends and now, you had no one. You regret confessing your feelings for Peter in the first place cause now, it felt like everything was falling apart.

As you walked further down the halls, you see Peter and Ned standing at their lockers. Peter looks.... sad? Why does he look sad? He should be the one that's happy. You scoff a little and walk away before they could approach you.

====

Lunch rolled around and you were sitting at a small table. Alone. You had no friends apart from MJ, Peter and Ned, but you could never sit there. It would only be awkward and you're pretty sure Peter hated you.

You ate your BLT sandwich and looked down. You thought about Peter. How he stutters when he's nervous, or when he blushes like crazy for no reason or when he fiddles with his fingers. You were snapped out of your thoughts by a voice. "May I sit down?" You hear a unfamiliar voice speak. You look up to see a handsome boy. "Yeah, sure" You reply and he sits down. "I'm Joey" He reaches out his hand for you shake. "Y/N" You say politely. "I'm new here. Thought you could maybe show me around?" He smiles and you nod. Your eyes light up. Finally, someone to talk too.

As you were having a conversation with Joey, Peter and Ned noticed. Peter sighs. "I'm so stupid. Now Y/N will never talk to me again" He groans and Ned facepalms mentally. "Maybe you shouldn't have said 'I'm sorry, I can't'" Ned states and Peter nods in agreement. "She'll just end up getting hurt anyway" He murmurs.

"So yeah, I basically confessed my feelings to my best friend and now he will never talk to me again" You say sarcastically and he chuckles. Wow. That laugh. Cute. "Why would he reject you like that?" He asks and you shrug. You admire his beautiful ocean eyes and his curly blonde hair. This boy's cute.

The bell rang and you walked Joey to his next class. Your next class was with Peter and he sits next to you. Great. Joey walks into his Biology class and waves goodbye. You hurry over to yours and enter it. As you sat down next to Peter, you feel yourself getting nervous.

The whole class was talking except for you both. Obviously something happened between you two and everyone noticed. Class began and you guys had to choose partners for a project. You look over to Peter who is looking down. "Listen Pete. You don't have to talk to me. We can finish this project and then you don't have to talk to me ever again. If you want too, at least" Your voice was soft and hurt. Peter looks at you and you gave him a sad smile. "It's not that Y/N... I just miss you as a friend" He admits. You let out a shaky breath and nod. "Sure Pete. I just need some time" You say and Peter smiles a little sad.

It was the end of the day and you and Joey were grabbing some coffee. Peter knew about this but didn't do anything. Peter wanted the best for you.

Your 'coffee date' went fine and you both had an amazing time. "I'll text you" He said and left. You smiled to yourself, letting out a sigh.

======
You were walking home, looking on Instagram. Scrolling through memes. You look up from your phone to see that you were almost at your apartment. You fondled with your keys in your bag and finally found them. You opened the door to you apartment complex. You walked towards the elevator and waited until it opened. When it did, you stepped in and pressed 'floor 5' where your apartment was located. You texted your mom to say you were almost home. The elevator dinged and you stepped out. 'Number 36' you thought and opened the door slowly until you heard someone crying next door. Peter lives next door. Was that him? What happened? Is he okay? You stopped yourself from unlocking your door and headed over to his door. You grabbed all the courage you had, and knocked in his door.

You hear someone shuffling over to the door and seconds later, it opens to reveal a Peter with red eyes and tear stained cheeks. "God Pete. What's wrong?" You say and hug him. Peter hugs you back. "Peter. I'm sorry for ignoring you. Our friendship shouldn't be ruined by my stupid heart." You reassure him but he shakes his head, still sniffling. "I-It's not that-t" He stutters. "It's just—" He sighs. "You deserve someone to be happy with and someone who can make you laugh and feel good about yourself because you deserve the world" He says and you say nothing. "I'm just not good enough for you" He starts sobbing again. You pull him onto the couch so that you both are sitting. "Which is why I turned you down" He says fiddling with his fingers.

"Peter. You are good enough for me. You are so kind and smart and such a gentleman. You make me smile by just being happy yourself." You say to him and scoot closer. You wipe away his tears. His bottom lip trembles. "Peter, you are the most caring, precious, cutest, smartest, funniest guy I've ever met." You say, holding his hand. He stares into your eyes but looks down after a few seconds. "You deserve someone like Joey" He states and you shake your head. "I don't deserve anything. In fact, you are too good for me" You smile sadly.

"That's not true" He says and you sigh. "You are so beautiful. People would kill to be with you. I can't express how much you mean to me and how good you are to this world." He says and you smile again. "This is what I mean Pete. You make me feel good about myself" You say and lean into him. Your noses are bumping against each other and your lips are inches away from touching. "You deserve the world Peter" You say before closing the gap between you two. Your lips touches his. You move your arms towards the back of his neck and his rest respectfully on your waist.

You both pull away after a few minutes. "Be my boyfriend?" You ask and he nods shyly. "Just remember that I'll love you no matter what" You say and peck his lips.

"What about Joey? Now that you're mine, he'll need to back off" Peter says sternly but joking a little. You chuckle and nuzzle your face into his chest.
