Peter and Harley?

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

*PETER*

I couldn't stop thinking about it. All the way back to the tower and this whole time in the lab. Why did he grab his hand away from me like that? Friends can hold hands so it wasn't too weird?? Was it??

"Hey pete can you pass me the red dye real quick" Harley said pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Oh uh yeah sure" I said tossing him the dye.

We had been working in the lab for over 4 hours and it was almost 8:00 now.

"and we're done!" Harley exclaimed looking like a proud mom.

"Finally" I replied. The time had gone by pretty fast as we were quite absorbed into the work but about half an hour ago I had realized just how hungry I was.

"Oh wow we missed dinner." Harley said with a sigh.

"We could order takeout"

"Yeah sounds good. Any suggestions?"

"Ooh let's get Thai. I know a good place"

"Alright we can watch some tv while we wait."

We ordered the food and settled onto the couch and started watching some show called "the flash".

We were probably halfway through the episode when the food came.

"Okay I'll admit I was skeptical but this is the best larb out there" Harley said right as the Barry Allen was unwinding a hurricane.

"I know right! I larb this larb" I replied with a giggle. Ew please tell me I did not just giggle.

Harley just chuckled in response. Sure he can do a cute, sexy chuckle and I have to giggle like a 14 year old clown.

"Oh shoot I forgot to text may and tell her I was staying the night."

Peter: hey may. I'm spending the night at the tower

May: Okay
May: is it just tony and pepper there?

Peter: oh I'm actually hanging out with the other intern

May: oh that Harley kid you told me about

Peter: yup him

May: so are you gonna tell him you like him

Peter: I don't like himmmmmm

May: sureee
May: have fun on your date

I decided to just not respond to that and hope Harley wouldn't see me blushing.

"Oh were you texting MJ?" he asked sounding kind of down.

"Oh I was just texting my aunt. Why?"

"Oh you were just kind of blushing"

"Oh it's just hot in here"

It was not at all hot in here.

About three episodes later it was about 10:00 and we were slowly inching closer and closer. In fact if I just leaned up my lips would be right on his cheek. I have to admit I was paying more attention to him that to the show.

I slowly made contact with him. I pressed my knee against his first and when he didn't pull away I leaned my head on his shoulder.

We stayed like that all comfortable until my phone went off.

"Whose texting you Parker?" Harley asked looking over from the tv show.

I checked my phone real quick.

"Oh it's just MJ. I'll text her in the morning."

Suddenly Harley shot up.

"What's wrong harls?" I asked trying not to sound too worried or hurt.

"I uh I need to sleep." he replied.

"It's 10:00?"

"Yeah well we have to be up at 2:00 am to pull off the prank"

"Oh okay I guess I'll sleep too then. Not like with you or anything. Just like sleeping. Yeah." I replied.

"Night Parker" he said with a sad smile

"Night I guess"

(A/N aaaah sorry this chapter is super trash but they're so close to not being idiots and telling each other their feelings)
