Warning: things get a wiiii bit spicy

Two weeks had gone by since Archie's death and I wasn't feeling any better about it. I would distract myself with movies to stop myself from thinking of Archie. Currently, Peter and I were watching the 1984 version of Footloose, a classic. Once May had found out about what happed to Archie she offered me Peter's room here while he slept in the living room. I suggested that I slept in the living room so Peter could keep his room but she refused letting me sleep on the couch. She didn't know about Peter and I, which was best. I was scared that if she knew about Peter and I, she wouldn't allow me to stay with them anymore. A small sigh escapes from my lips as I try to focus on the movie. I just wasn't so into it anymore. My eyes look over to Peter, noticing how focused he was on the t.v. His eyes widened as he watches Chuck hit Ariel at the race tracks. There is one thing to could distract me, but it's quite... improper. I throw my legs over Peter's thighs, straddling the shocked boy. I quickly grab the t.v remote, shutting off the movie that played behind me.

"U-Uh." Peter stuttered. "W-What are you doing E-El?"

I slowly turn back around, tossing the remote to the side and soon after, making eye contact with him. "Continuously watching movies is starting to bore me." I pout. "I need something else to distract me."

The last part came out as a whispered as I neared his lips. Peter's breath hitch as my lips brushed upon his. I gaze down at his lips then up to his eyes. His dark brown eyes fluttered closed as his hands made their way to my waist. Without hesitation, I press my lips onto his, wrapping my arms around his neck. I deepen the kiss by pulling him closer into me. He grips onto my waist, swiping his tongue along my bottom lip.

You are the dancing queen.

My eyes shot open as the song began to play.

Young and sweet, only seventeen

A small groan escapes my lips, sending vibrations through Peter's. I pull away from the kiss, only leaving Peter to follow my lips as I pulled away.

Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah.

I pull my phone out of my pocket, trying to see who it was that was calling. Peter placed a small kiss onto the corner of my mouth, making his way down my jaw. My eyes glanced at the contact name, noticing that it said "Unknown". A sighs escapes from my lips as I pull away from Peter, showing him my phone.

"Gotta take this." I explain. Heat rose to my cheeks once I just realized that I had just gotten done making out with Peter. Peter had been blushing himself as he nervously scratches the back of his neck.

"O-Okay." He replies, slightly nodding his head. I nod my head as well, climbing off his lap and quickly answering the call.

I place the phone onto my ear whispering a 'hello'.

"Hey Ellie." A voice spoke up. A voice that I could recognize any day, it was Tony Stark. "I heard about Archie and I just wanted to let you know how truly sorry I am."

A small tear slowly slides down my cheek as I begin to think about Archie. "It's fine." I explain. "It's not the first time I've lost a loved one."

A hum comes from Tony as I can imagine him nodding his head. "Well, I have empty space. You know if you want to come live with me."

My eyes widened as Tony finished speaking. Was he actually offering me a place to stay?

"I wouldn't mind becoming a father figure." He adds on. "Plus we could work on controlling your powers and using your electrokineses."

This was all overwhelming. But that mean't I would no longer be a hassle to May. It takes a few minutes for me to think about my answer but once I thought of it, I was sure of it.

"I'd love to come live with you." I breath out, running a hand through my hair. I was now no longer an orphan girl.

"Great!" Tony exclaimed.

More tears slid down my cheeks at the thought of having a new family and no longer being alone.

"Make sure your things are packed, because I'll need you here in two days." Tony explains, making my heart drop. Two days?

"Don't worry about school transferring, I'll have that taken care of."

"O-Okay." I stutter, not knowing what to say.

"Great." Tony breathed out. "See you soon Ellie!"

And before I knew it, he had hung up. I let out a shaky breath, running a hand through my straightened hair. I only had three days to tell Peter and MJ. This was going to hurt very badly but it'll be all worth it. I'll have another family taking care of me instead of adding more stress onto May about having a teenage girl in her house with a teenage boy. This was going to be good. I make my way back to the living room, noticing that Peter had the t.v on, but instead of watching Footloose he was watching Spongebob. Just like Archie did the night I found out about HYDRA. A sigh escape from my lips as I gently shake my head, wiping away the tears that were visible. Once I knew the tears were gone, I walk back towards Peter. He smiles up at me as I take a seat next to him, cuddling into his side. His arm snakes around my shoulders, pulling me closer into him.

"Who called El?" He asked, his eyes focused on the t.v.

I shrug my shoulders, wrapping my arm around his waist. "Just MJ."
