This chapter is inspired by the song 'Paper Rings' by Taylor Swift, from her seventh studio album 'Lover'.

————————————————————
Adam had it all planned out,
He knew when he was going to do it but he just didn't know when the two of them would be alone.

Aunt May had gone away for the weekend because she was aware of he was planning. It took months for her to finally say that she was ok with it but Adam was sure that he wasn't making a big mistake.

"I almost lost him May, you know how I was when we were going through that but I don't want to lose him again" he had said to her. She stared at him for a long time before sighing and saying "ok, go for it. Just tell me when so then I can get out of your way. It should be a moment between the two of you alone and no one else".

If only life wouldn't get in the way. MJ had come round Peter's and Adam made sure that he stayed away from her but could always spot her from a distance. He still had not forgiven her for what she had done but maybe after Peter's surprise, they could all move on and be the 'holy trinity' as they nicknamed themselves again.

It was past 7pm when MJ left Peter's apartment and Adam was starting to grow impatient because of how nervous he was starting to get.

Adam sat down on the sofa next to Peter, resting his head on his boyfriend's shoulder. "Wanna order Pizza in?" Peter asked casually. "Yeah, why not" Adam laughed. He'd been on a diet for some weeks now because he wasn't happy with how he looked, even though Peter always told him that he's perfect in every single way.

"Pepperoni?" Peter asked which steered Adam away from his daydreaming, "As always, with a coke too and on a thin base with normal crust, I can't stand stuffed crust anymore". Peter got out his phone and ordered it through the Pizza Hut app before wrapping an arm around Adam, who didn't relax into him as he usually did.

"Is everything ok Adam?" Peter asked, "Come with me" Adam replied and stood up from the sofa, taking Peter's hand in his whilst guiding him to their bedroom, well, Peter's.

"Babe what are you up to?" Peter inquired, to which Adam didn't reply but pointed at the open window and towards the fire escape. "What if we miss the Pizza?" "You're phone will buzz once they are here and this won't take long" Adam replied, which comforted Peter's nerves about not getting the Pizza which he had been craving after since lunch.

The two boys climbed out of the window and up the fire escape, with Adam reaching the roof first. He walked a few steps onto the roof before Peter came up behind him and stood at the top of the stairs in bewilderment.

"W-what are we doing?" Peter asked curiously. "Come here" Adam told him, and Peter joined him standing close to the spot where they had a romantic picnic under the stars some months ago that Peter had orchestrated.

Adam stood directly in front of Peter who took Adam's hand and held it before Adam withdrew his hand after a few seconds, much to Peter's surprise. "Are you-" "Listen" Adam interrupted before reaching for a box in his left jean pocket and getting down on one knee.

"I know that we are young, but what I'm about to do will affect us for the rest of our lives. After you disappeared, I didn't want to live anymore because without you I was nothing. Peter, you are so special, beautiful, kind, cute, smart, and so god damn sexy. There is nothing more on this earth that I want more than to spend my life with you. So Peter Benjamin Parker, will you do me the greatest honour of becoming my husband?"

Peter didn't really know what to say. He tried to speak but all that came out where little stutters of words which Adam always found adorable. When he finally spoke, he was close to tears.

"Yes, I do- I- I- mean- I will". Adam stood up and kissed Peter on the lips, before wrapping his arms around him and deepening the kiss. Once they pulled away, they were both gasping for breath and Adam opened the box, took the silver ring out and put it onto Peter's ring finger.

Adam kissed Peter again, before they both retreat back to down to Peter's room and closed the window behind them. "Pizza's here!" Peter shouted like a child before rushing towards the door. Once the delivery person was gone, they sat on the sofa in front of the tv and opened the boxes of Pizza, as well as their Cokes.

"Tell me about the ring" Peter said quietly, still in disbelief and shock from what had just happened. "It's made from an alloy of Vibranium-" Adam started but Peter interrupted him. "How did you?!-" "I may have gotten a certain Mrs Stark to help me out with a few things..." he trailed off. Peter looked down and said barely audibly, "it's from his suit isn't it?"

Adam wrapped an arm round Peter, and simply whispered "yes" before placing a kiss on his cheek. "She told me Tony would have wanted us to be happy. Speaking of Happy, he helped me smuggle the ring back to your place so that you wouldn't find it." "This has been quite an operation hasn't it?" Peter said, brightening up a little bit. Adam laughed and replied "It sure has!"

"Tell me more" Peter said, to which Adam continued, "I've been planning this for months, I designed the ring myself and I knew what it would look like from the beginning. I got Happy to look at my design for the rings and bring them to Pepper and also to Okoye, as well as Shuri who helped me tweak some things.

I wanted it to mean something to the both of us, so that's why I asked Pepper if we could use part of Tony's suit in the ring by melting it down and forging it into part of the ring itself.

"It's beautiful" Peter said with tears in his eyes before wrapping Adam in his arms and pulling him to his chest, laying down on the sofa. He groaned with fullness but was the happiest boy alive.

They both closed their eyes and fell asleep in the warmth of each other's arms.
