Slowly but Surely (Peter Parker x Harry Osborn Fan fic)

Chapter 9

When Peter opened his eyes, he felt his muscles stiffen. He sat from the bed and stretched his arms when suddenly realizing that he wasn't on his bed but on his couch. Peter's eyes widened 'The couch?!' his mind screamed as he looked around and his body relaxes when he remembered he's at Harry's dorm.

He stood from the couch and grab his bag from the floor. He was about to leave but remembered Harry. Right, he almost forgot about him. Peter went to Harry's room but seeing he wasn't there, Peter was confused. Did he left? Peter grab his phone and saw the time that its already close to 5PM. Peter pocketed his phone and looked around the dorm and he didn't see any traces of Harry.

"I guess he really did leave" Peter mumbled and swing his backpack on his shoulder. He walk past the center table and stopped when his eyes caught a yellow thingy. He went back to the table and saw a sticky note and seeing the hand writing, Peter couldn't help but to grin "Thank you for the chocolate, I'll see you at the cafe later yeah? And don't say NO. I already checked your sched, your last class is at 8pm. So I'll see you after 8. And please lock the door when you leave, thanks. H" Peter's smile reached his ears after reading it and he couldn't believe Harry's this thoughtful. 

He suddenly felt this tingling feeling inside of him.

Peter pocketed Harry's note and left the dorm.

********

Harry's now at the cafe waiting for Peter. He can't still believe that he kissed the man. As he remembers the stolen kiss, Harry can't stop smiling and he can feel his cheeks heated. He put his finger tips on his lips and man, Kissing Peter was more satisfying than any girls he had one night stands with.

But Harry felt bad though, he usually don't feel bad when he steal kisses from the girls but if its with Peter, he feels really bad that he'd stole a kiss from him. What if Peter was awake the entire time and was only pretending to be asleep? What if Peter felt violated? He was supposed to meet Harry at the cafe but seeing that its already close to 8PM, he became anxious and nervous.

Harry never feels this nervous before on dates. Wait, a date? Harry paused. This isn't a date. This is just a hang out. Harry's knees began to shake under the table as he stared at the door. What if Peter won't show up because he did something to him? His thoughts are whirring. This was the first time he felt so nervous if that Person won't show up. He's never been like this to the girls he'd dated. If she won't show up, that's fine but with Peter, he really want him to show up "Please show up" Harry said under his breath.

And with that, the door opened as Harry's eyes widened seeing Peter walking inside and in an instant, the entire movement from the cafe went in slow-motion as Harry sees Peter lips formed into a smile. Harry's heart badumps seeing Peter walking towards him "Hi Harry!" Peter greeted as Harry's eyes blinked "Sorry for being late, I'm not usually like this...there was a student traffic! Yeah, student traffic!" Peter gave out a small chuckle as he sat opposite to Harry.

Harry on the other hand was mesmerized by Peter's cuteness that he stared at him longer and then began to slowly form a soft smile. Peter caught his smile as his heart beat suddenly beats fast. Peter's cheeks turned red and put his hand on his nape "Uh...why are you staring at me for?"

"Because you're cute" as soon as Harry said this, Harry's eyes widened from his response as Peter did too. Harry cleared his throat and loses his smile "I meant, you are cunt for being late!" Harry mumbled as he saw Peter's expression turned into a hurt one. Harry instantly regretted that he said that. Harry sighed as he cleared his throat "No I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that...What I really mean was, you are..." Harry took a deep breath "...cute"

Peter's hurt expression has now turned into a smiley one. He didn't responded to Harry's statement but he instead diverted their topic "So uh, have you eaten?" Peter asked as Harry shake his head. They've ordered their food and ate in silence. Peter doesn't know what they're doing but for sure he's feeling a not-so-friendly hang out. Its more like a date as Peter sees it.

As they were eating, Peter glances at Harry and he's again staring at him. He can't believe that he's with Harry Osborn. The man whom all the girls adored. He was supposed to be with some girl tonight right? But instead, he's here with Peter, eating tuna melt sandwich and drinking frappe. Peter examines Harry's face and his heart can't stop beating so fast every time he sees his beautiful blue eyes. Peter stopped his eating as he concentrates on Harry's face.

Oh god, he's seriously attracted to this man!

Harry on the other hand was contemplating if he's going to tell Peter that he kissed him earlier. Harry stopped eating as he grab a napkin and wipe his lips and then put his hands on the table and his fingers began to fidgets with the napkin.

Harry took a quick glance at Peter who's also staring at him but when their eyes met, Peter averted his gaze away. So Peter's also checking him out? With this thought, Harry's heart beat fasten and he can feel his pulse pulsating. He can't believe he's developing an attraction to Peter Parker!

Harry decided to tell Peter because he really feel bad for stealing a kiss from him and for the first time in Harry's life, he actually feels bad for something.

Harry looked at Peter and he took a deep breath "Pete?" Harry called as Peter looked at him with those big chocolate brown eyes of his "Uhm, I just want to tell you something" Harry mumbled as Peter looked at him with confusion "Uh sure, fire away" Peter said as Harry is sweating like really sweating, Harry gulped "You see, there's something had happened" Harry started "Okay"

"Uhm, I kind of did something"

"What is it?" Peter smiled.

Harry's heart is beating fast and it feels like it will burst out of his chest "Uh, you can hate me and all but I just want to say that I uh―" Harry gulped, should he really tell him? Is Harry ready for Peter to hate him?

As Harry didn't say anything, Peter sighed "I'm sure its not that bad Harry" Peter said as comfort but Harry is still freaking out and his thought are scattered everywhere!  Here goes nothing! Its now or never!

"I kissed you" Harry whispered as Peter stared at him before speaking "I'm sorry, what? You were whispering and I didn't heard you" Peter replied as Harry took another deep breath "I kissed you Peter, I'm sorry" Harry said again as Peter's eyes slowly widens. HE DID WHAT?

And realizing this was Harry, a humorous man, Peter gave a small chuckle "Ha, you got me there Harry, who put you up to this?" Peter asked as Harry shook his head "No one. I'm telling the truth, I kissed you, while you were sleeping" Harry said and Peter can see sincerity and he's indeed telling the truth. Peter's entire body shake and he suddenly felt all hot.

He gulped and touched his lips as his cheeks turned red and feeling his lips on his fingertips, Peter imagined on how Harry kissed him. His heart beat fastens and he can feel it drumming inside his chest. Peter didn't know how to react so he stood, grab his backpack and ran.

He exited the cafe and ran away from Harry.

This was not a good plan after all.
