Save Me

Peter couldn't help notice that Ned kept looking at him, he hated that he was worried. He looked up at Ned only for him to look away quickly.

"I know you were looking at me, no need to hide it," peter said causing him to look back. "I'm fine, Ned."

"Yeah uhh..sorry," Ned said before rubbing his forehead.

"Are you okay?"

"No..uh, I'm..I'm fine."

"Ned, what's going on?" He asked, getting worried for his best friend.

"I just..uhh," he stopped and stood up, Peter watched Ned sat down on his bed.

He stood up and sat next to him. "You can talk to me. What's going on?" he asked softly taking Ned hand in his.

Peter watched as Ned looked between him and the floor. Like he was fighting with his mind. But soon Ned held a hand out, he held onto the side of Peter's head and pulled him closer to himself.

And Ned quickly put his lips to Peter's. The kiss was quick but it was enough for Peter to know what was going on. Peter soon began to panic though, he didn't know how to tell Ned that he felt the same.

He felt his heart speed up and slowly moved his hand from Ned's. He saw the look on Ned's face, like he'd done something wrong.

"I..I'm sorry, I.."

Peter stopped him by kissing him back quickly.

"It's okay," he said slightly awkwardly with a smile.

Ned smiled back, Peter could tell that he wanted more and so did Peter. Peter took his hand again, causing Ned to kiss him again. At first it was small, gentle. But then grew bigger and more intense.

They had both been so lost in the moment that they didn't hear the footsteps walking towards them until the door opened. Tony walked in, not noticing the two teens quickly moving away from each other, just saying what he was going to say.

"I'm gonna order you guys dinner, pizza okay?" He asked before seeing at their red faces and their homework lying on the floor a couple feet away from them. "What's going on?"

"Uhh..nothing..Pizza's fine with me," Peter said awkwardly.

"Yeah..me too," Ned said just as awkwardly causing Tony to look between the two wondering what had happened.

But he soon got it and smiled. "Okay. The doors staying open," he said as he walked out the door giving Peter another smile.

Peter listened as he heard him walk down he stairs he looked to Ned and the two started laughing. "That was awkward," Ned said still laughing slightly.

"Yeah it was," Peter said as he stopped, still smiling at Ned. "I guess we should probably get back to homework."

"Yeah I guess we should," Ned said before standing up and walking over to where he had been sitting and sat down.

Peter watched, he never imagined Ned liking him back but he was so glad that he did. He knew he should tell him about what happened on Monday but part of him didn't want to.

He stood up and sat back down in front of Ned who gave him a smile before going back to his work. Peter picked up his pen and tried to start again but couldn't.

He couldn't concentrate, he was debating, in his mind, whether or not to tell him.

Peter and Ned had been sitting on the floor doing Peter's catch up work for a while. Peter had gotten tired of homework a while ago. Though they'd hardly done anything.
