Protector (Peter Parker)

Liz

After Peter asked Isabella to homecoming they became inseparable. They did everything together and Ned wasn't questioning it, he saw how happy they were and he just wanted his best friend to be happy. 

Isabella was beyond happy, she wasn't on assignment anymore and she was just hanging out with Peter, the boy who was taking her to homecoming and made her feel as normal as she could. 

As they weeks went by and Homecoming inching closer and closer Isabella got more and more nervous, she had never been to a dance and she barely wore anything fancy so what would Peter think when he saw her? 

"Earth to Is-Bella. Earth to Bella." Peter said waving a hand in front of Isabella's face making her blink a couple times. They were in the cafeteria and Ned was going on a rant about Star Wars which Isabella would normally pay attention to. 

Peter found it difficult switching from Isabella to Bella and he had a few slip ups but Isabella was quick to explain it away, she didn't want anyone else knowing who she was. 

"What were you thinking about?" Peter asked and Isabella shrugged a little turning towards the food in front of her. 

"Nothing, I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night so I was just spacing off." Isabella explained and took a bite of the sandwich she brought. 

Peter didn't exactly believe her but he didn't push her. When Isabella didn't want to talk about something, she wouldn't no matter how much someone pushed. 

While the day was going on Peter had gotten excused from the class he was in to go to the bathroom but he was really going to meet up with Isabella for a couple of minutes to check in on her. Isabella had done the same thing and was nearing the spot Peter and her were going to meet when she heard Peter's voice talking to someone else. 

"Hey Liz." Peter said and Isabella stopped walking and pressed herself against the wall, listening to the conversation. 

"Hey Peter." Liz said as she softly kicked at the floor. "How much trouble did you get in for skipping the Decathlon?" Liz asked and Isabella bit her lip. 

"Well I got detention for life." Peter nervously chuckled and Isabella heard Liz laugh a little. 

"I'm just glad you got yourself back together because you were acting really strange." Liz said and Isabella sucked in a breath. 

Liz was sort of flirting. A strange feeling came over Isabella and she wanted to leave but she stayed to see what Peter said. 

"Yeah, so is May. She wasn't exactly happy." Peter said and looked down. "You excited for homecoming?" Peter asked, filling the awkward silence since Liz wasn't leaving. 

"Yeah, but I've been so busy planning it I haven't found myself a date." Liz said and Peter didn't reply. After a minute Liz laughed a little. "Peter, wanna go to homecoming with me?" She finally asked and Isabella's heart dropped. 

Isabella didn't wait to hear Peter's response, she ran down the hallway and back to her classroom. There was no way Peter would say no to Liz. He was going to cancel on her and say yes to Liz. 

What Isabella didn't know is that Peter immediately turned down Liz's invitation. 

"Oh...I'm sorry Liz but I already asked Bella to go with me." Peter said, not meeting Liz's eyes. 

Liz nodded and smiled a little. "It's okay Parker. I should get back to class." Liz said and walked away. 

Peter sighed gently as he went to where he was supposed to meet Isabella but she wasn't there. He texted her twice before he went back to class, wondering if she was okay. 

To Isabella's disappointment she had Spanish next which meant Peter would be asking her where she was and she wasn't in the mood for that. 

As Isabella sat down Peter sat down next to her and looked at her. 

"Where were you? Are you okay? Did something happen?" Peter rambled and Isabella had to fight the urge to laugh at his nervousness. Then she remembered Liz and she sighed. 

"Why don't you ask Liz?" Isabella asked as she opened her Spanish notebook. She glanced at Peter who was looking at her with confusion written all over his face. 

"What? Ask Liz? Why would I ask Liz? Wait...did you hear her ask me...?" Peter asked and watched Isabella's hand move to her arm. He sighed and shook his head. "You obviously didn't hear me say I already asked you to homecoming then. Bella, I turned her down." Peter explained and Isabella's hand dropped as she looked at him. 

"Really?" Isabella asked softly. Peter nodded and smiled gently at her. 

"Of course, I asked you and I only want to take you to homecoming. Not Liz. Don't worry, you're the only girl for me." Peter said as he gently took her hand in his. Isabella's face flushed red as she smiled. 

"Oh come on! You said yes to Penis Parker?!" Flash exclaimed causing both of them to look up at him. 

Isabella rolled her eyes as she responded, "Yes I did because he's a much nicer person than you and he's a pretty great kisser." Isabella said as she looked back at Peter and winked, signaling him to play along. 

"So is she by the way. It's amazing." Peter said with a big smile on his face, wishing he could finally kiss her but the teacher walked through the doors, signaling the start of class. 

Peter dropped Isabella's hand and turned toward the front of class. Isabella's face was still slightly pink and she couldn't get the thought of kissing Peter out of her head. 

Both Peter and Isabella were dying to kiss each other but whenever they were about to, something always interrupted each other. Homecoming was going to the their chance to kiss, and Peter wasn't about to mess that up. Isabella was the one for him and he was going to show her at Homecoming.

Little did they know, something was going to distract both of them from dancing the night away let alone having their first kiss that night. 

A/N: 

It's a Saturday for me, so happy Saturday! 

I have given you two chapters to read! 

Sorry this is sort of a filler, I just thought there should be a break from the action/Tony stuff. More interesting stuff is coming, I promise.
