Jealousy ~ Parley/Parkner

Chapter 14

*PETER'S POV*

I got home after being out patrolling the city for a bit (and talking to that weird dude) and walked into the kitchen.

Aunt Natasha and my Pops were talking about something.

"It smells like food in here," I said.

"I wonder why," Pops said sarcastically, smiling over his shoulder at me.

"Hey Pete!" Aunt Nat smiled at me and gave me a hug. "It feels like it's been forever since I've seen you."

I smiled. "You've been gone for forever. Where were you?"

"Russia. Secret ~spy~ mission." She said. I just nodded.

Pops had just gotten done making dinner. "Hungry?"

"A little," I lied. I'm not hungry at all. My stomach just hurts from this whole situation. I think I'm going to take that guy's advice. Deadpool? Was that his name?

Anyway, I could at least ask Harley what we are. I don't know if I'm even ready to date again. But...he's Harley. I would definitely date him.

I smiled at the thought of him. I didn't realize how long I had been daydreaming.

"Helllooo? Earth to Peter." Pops was waving his hands in front of my face. I jumped out of my thoughts. "Oh sorry, haha, just tired." He looked skeptical.

"You're really into Harley aren't you?" He flashed a small smile and looked at me with a "you're-in-love-and-you-can't-convince-me-otherwise" expression on his face.

"Yeah." I sighed. "I really am." Everything I think about him I start smiling. "I just don't know what to say to him."

"What do you mean?" Pops asked.

"I don't know... I guess I'm just scared that he doesn't want something real. That he just wants to be...friends with benefits. And I do want something real."

Did I just put my feelings into words? I'm so proud of myself!

Pops looked at me and came over to sit across from me. "I was the same way with your dad. I mean, you know him. He's such a playboy. So I was scared that he didn't actually love me. But I asked him about it and here we are." He gestured to everything around him. "Married. Happy. And we're parents to the best kid ever." He ruffled my hair. "So go talk to him. It won't be as bad as you think."

"Okay." I stood. "You're right. I'm going now. Do you know where he is?"

"I think he's in his room," Pops said. "Okay." I ran off.

I almost burst into the room before I told myself to calm down and walk in like a normal person. I stood outside of his door, rehearsing what I was going to say when I got in there, but I stood there for too long because Harley opened the door and almost ran face first into me.

"Oh! Hey." He started laughing.

"Heyyy..." I started laughing too, awkwardly. "I was just about to come in there."

Lies. I probably would've stayed outside the door for another 10 minutes.

"I need to talk to you." We both said at the same time. My heart started racing.

*HARLEY'S POV*

I stood up and opened my door to go to talk to Peter.

I threw the door open and almost ran into him. He scared the hell out of me.

Play it cool.

"Oh! Hey Peter."

"Heyyy..."

His laugh is adorable.

"I was just about to come in there," he said, pointing at my door.

"I need to talk to you." He said it at the same time as I did.

He needs to talk to me too?? About what?!

Now I'm scared.

"Oh. Good, yeah okay." I awkwardly made a hand motion to come into my room and he walked in, fidgeting with his hands.

"So, um. You first!" I think I sound a little too excited.

"Well...I just...I just want to know if we're dating or not. Like are you my...boyfriend? Or are you just that guy that I make out with?" He let out a nervous chuckle.

"Weird. I was going to ask you the same thing." I did a half-smile and sat down on my bed. "What...do you want to be?" I chose my words carefully.

"I mean..." He seemed to be thinking hard. "I want a relationship." He said quietly. "I want something real." I nodded in agreement. "Me too." I stood and hugged him. He laid his head in the crook of my neck. "I'm glad."

I like being the taller one.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him closer to me. "I'm so glad I met you Peter Parker." I kissed his forehead and his face turned red. "I'm so glad I met you too." He turned his face upward to look at me. "Harley Keener." (A/N: God, this is so cheesy but in a cute way lol)

"I swear, your Dad better not walk in again," I said, laughing at my cute little...boyfriend?

"He won't. I locked the door." He smiled rebelliously.

"Wow, never knew I had a thing for bad boys," I replied sarcastically.

"Well better get used to it. I have a ~dark side~ that you don't know about." He looked at me with a stupid grin on his face.

"You? A dark side? That's like me saying I have a thing for women. Never gonna happen." He giggles and threw a pillow at me.

"Hey! You have a thing about throwing pillows at me don't you?" He nodded. "It's fun." I grabbed a pillow and launched it at him. "It is pretty fun," I stated with a shrug. And that turned into a full-on pillow fight. We were having a lot of fun until we heard someone banging on the door.

"WHAT ON GOD'S EARTH ARE YOU TWO DOING IN THERE?!" I heard Tony's voice booming from the hallway.

I made a "oh no!" face at Peter and he just waved it off. He opened the door. "Hiiiii Dad..." He smiled innocently. Tony looked around at the dozens of pillows lying around on the floor and us standing there, our hair disheveled and us panting from running around tackling each other.

"It's not what it looks like." Peter said.

Tony looked like he was about to laugh. "I hope not. Because it looks like you two were fucking-"

"TONY, LANGUAGE!!" Steve yelled.

I looked over and Peter's face was as red as bricks.

Awww I wanna give him a hug-

"Tony!" Natasha appeared and gave Tony a hug.

THE BLACK WIDOW IS RIGHT THERE.

I'M FREAKING OUT.

Tony looked happy to see her but kept eyeing me and Peter.

"Oh hey boys!" Nat said, waving. "Hey Aunt Natasha, this is Harley." Peter introduced me. She shook my hand, "Nice to meet you Harley."

"Nice to meet you too." I tried to keep as calm as possible. I was about to go full fanboy.
