"you scared parker?"
he was. he really was. "no."
"oh? is that so... prove it."
"make me." he felt the other boy's lips brush against his own. and peter loved it.

"babe? where's the remote?"
"it's on the couch!" peter shouted from down the corridor, walking into the lounge of the avengers compound, the rest of the avengers sat around the kitchen, confused. "you didn't look hard enough..." peter picks up the remote, handing it to harley before walking over to steve who gives him a blueberry waffle.
"thank youuuu!" harley runs up behind peter, wrapping his arms around the smaller boys waist spinning him round, luckily peter had placed his plate down.
"have you eaten harley?" he shook his head, "harley you need to eat." harley pulled a face before walking back to the tv.
"what should i wear?" harley asks in the midst of the quiet.
"for what?"
"rosie asked me on a date..."
"ro- i what? that's great, a date?" peter stuttered out.
"yeah i guess." harley shrugs his shoulders, his sight never leaving the tv.
peters eyes water slightly, "i, go with whatever, you'll look great no matter what."
"thanks peter." harley stands up, stretching before going to his room.
"you alright kiddo?" tony places his hand on the kids shoulder, who in return peter sucks in a breath and walks off to his room.

harley had left for his date about twenty minutes ago, when peters phone went off,
harles:
i got stood up and this is embarrassing, you mind coming to the restaurant and eating with me? i'll send the location, dress nicely ;)
peter:
yeah i'll be there soon
"i gotta go, harley got stood up, i need to change." just as peter was about to leave tony stopped him, "you sure he got stood up?"
"wh-" peter froze in his spot shaking his head, "go get ready pete." and then he was off, quickly getting changed into a black open-collard, button up top, with a pair of black slacks.
he made his way to a little italian restaurant, "what're you under, sir?" the woman at the front desk asks, "um keener? my friend is here already,"
"have a good night sir." the woman smiles politely, leaving peter to walk over to his best friend.
"you made it, and you look... wow..." peter blushes under harley's gaze.
"sorry she stood you up."
"got something better from it. i went ahead and ordered for you, hope that's okay." peter nodded taking a sip of his drink.
they eat their dishes, laugh contently, talking about anything that comes to mind. harley asks for the check when peter nips to the washroom, paying for their meal, adding an extra tip, which peter shakes his head at. "come on."
"where are we going?" peter questions. the two had been walking for fifteen minutes, certainly not in the direction of the tower. then harley sits down, on a bench in the park, leaving peter confused, sitting next to him. "what're we doing?"
"sitting."
"there... there was no girl was there..."
"nope, just wanted to go on a date with you, chickened out of asking you and came up with this instead." any signs of harley's nerves were now gone as he faced the younger boy, staring deeply into peters eyes. "is that okay?"
"yeah." harley watched peter gulp, seeing his adam's apple bob up and down (which he found hot). he ran a hand through his hair, figuring out what to say next, only to come up with nothing.
and so he inches forward, so there was hardly any room between the two. he knew what he was doing, but there was no going back. and i guess peter knew what the boy was doing also, since he didn't back away, but did quite the opposite.
"you scared parker?"
he was. he really was. "no."
"oh? is that so... prove it."
"make me." he felt the other boy's lips brush against his own. and peter loved it. soon his hand was caught up in harley's hair, the other boys arms wrapped around the spider-lings waist.
"all this flirting, all this time, god parker i love you. i have done since we we younger."
"i feel the same, i love you too.
