Don't ask me how but, we got out... with Peter still on my back I run away from the facility at maximum speed. When we're in the middle of nowhere we pause for a second. I feel exhaustion kick in as I sit down for a bit. "Oh... I'm really tired all of a sudden" I say as I rest my head down on my legs "I think it's best to transform back before I pass out or something".

"Yeah, I think that's for the best, you can borrow my shirt or something" he comforts me when he sits down next to me.

I look at his over-sized prisoners shirt "yeah, that'll definitely fit". I transform back and Peter looks away shyly while pulling his shirt over his head to hand it to me. "Peter..." I mumble.

"Hey... you're going to be okay..." Peter tries to keep me awake, he doesn't care that I'm naked anymore and takes me into his arms. "Y/n please we're almost there" he says as he starts dressing me up in his shirt.

"I... hold me" I manage to say and I feel Peter's strong arms wrap around me tightly. I listen to his heartbeat and slowly drift off into a deep peaceful sleep.

When I wake up I notice a bright light shining down on me. I slowly open my eyes and take in my surroundings. I'm in a laboratory but it's not a creepy one. I sit up and see Peter, Natasha and Tony at the other side of the huge lab, it looks like they're having an emotional conversation. I stand up from the cheap-looking bed and make my way over to them in my pyjamas without them noticing. When I'm close enough to overhear their conversation Natasha gives me a quick look. Tony and Peter stand with their backs towards me.

"I... I really like her but I don't know how to tell her..." Peter speaks softly while looking down.

"I think you should tell her how you feel, I'm sure she will respect that" Natasha says while she winks at me. Tony looks over his shoulder with a confused look on his face but he relaxes when he sees me.

"Look who finally woke up" Tony says with a bit of irony in his voice while pulling me into a hug "I was worried about you Y/n". I hesitate for a moment before hugging him back.

"How...how much of that conversation did you hear?" Peter asks me flustered while his cheeks turn red.

"Enough" I say while looking at my feet, "were you talking about me?". I immediately regret I said that

What if they were talking about someone else

"Yeah" Peter chuckles while scratching the back of his head nervously. I look up at him and pull him into a hug "I like you too Peter" I whisper in his ear. When we break up our hug, we notice Tony and Natasha looking at us like they're looking at a cute kitten or puppy.

"I've been waiting for this moment for like forever" Natasha says to Tony when they get up to leave the room. The sound of their chatting fades away and leaves Peter and you alone in the room.

"So do you want to watch a movie or something?" Peter asks me to break the awkward silence between us.

"Yeah, let's go to my room" I suggest. We walk to my room in silence and when we arrive I put my hand on the scanner to open the door. We walk inside and sit down on the bed.

"What movie do you want to watch?" Peter asks as he starts up Netflix on my huge TV.

"Maybe a romcom?" I say "I've always wanted to watch 'To all the boys I've loved before'". I stand up from the bed, "I'm going to change first though". I walk into my walk-in closet and change into a hoody and sweatpants and sit down next to Peter again. He starts the movie the moment I sit down and puts an arm around me. I snuggle up against him and we watch the movie together.

"I really liked the movie, it was so romantic" I say dropping a hint for Peter. Peter looks at me and nods.

"Yeah, I liked it" he replies dryly. He turns of the TV and lets himself fall on the bed. His shirt slides up a little bit.

Oh shit, his abs are so damn perfect CAN'T... RESIST...

I slowly move my hand towards his stomach and gently place it on his abs. He shivers a bit as my cold hand touches his skin. I lay down next to him "Peter... are you really that stupid?" I ask him and he looks at me with a confused look on his face.

"Why.. why would you think I'm stupid?" he mumbles while overthinking his actions. I lift my hand and stroke his chest gently, I look up at him and he looks at me with a serious and a little shocked face.

"Peter" I mutter while I get up from the bed to make the situation less awkward, "I... I" but before I can say anything else Peter pulls me back on the bed, I land on his chest and he hugs me tightly. I bury my face in his chest and enjoy the warmth of his body. When we break apart I sit up and Peter puts his hands on my waist.

"Y/n" he says with a little smirk on his face "would you mind me doing more than just hugging you?"

"No, I'd actually -" and again Peter doesn't let me finish. He rolls on top of me and brings his face close to mine. Before I know it our lips connect and we share a long, passionate kiss.

Peter pulls back and looks down at me with his intense brown eyes "That felt good" he smiles at me while tucking a hair behind my ear. He rolls over and lays down next to me "do you maybe want to go to prom with me?" he asks me.

"What exactly is prom?" I inquire "I mean I've heard of it before but I don't exactly know what it is".

Peter rolls on his side before answering "it's fun" he says dryly. I look at him and he's smiling like an idiot "just say 'Yes Peter of course I'll go to prom with you'".

I roll on my side to face him and say "Yes Peter of course I'll go to prom with you" in the most monotone voice ever.

"Y/n... you have to mean it" he spoke with a serious face.

"Make me" I say to challenge him.

"Oh I will" Peter smirks while pushing me over and rolling on top of me again "if you give me what I want I'll give you what you want".

"And what would that be?" I smile.

"Oh I know you want another kiss" he says while bringing his lips very close to mine "and I know you secretly want to go to prom with me real bad".
