There's that saying, that it doesn't hurt to try. Or ask. Something along those lines. Oh, how very wrong they were.
Peter "Parker" Stark, realized at the teenage age of thirteen that he wasn't straight, but bisexual. He liked girls, but he also found guys attractive as well. He was afraid to come out to his father, only to find out that his father was indeed bisexual as well. He remembered Tony's quip, "Guess it runs in the family huh buddy?" But then Tony's voice became serious, 'But really buddy, you know how proud of you I am? To tell me this, I am so, so proud. Really, super proud of my Bambi."
After an hour of cuddling, Tony asked, "You don't have to answer, but is there a special someone? Does my Petey have a crush?" Peter who trusted his dad with all his heart, plus he didn't get kicked out confessed, "His name is Harry." Tony chuckled, "Aw, my Petey pie is all grown up now." He pretended to wipe a tear as he pressed the young child that was growing up too quickly closer to his chest.
If he could keep that boy young forever, he would.
Fast forward three years to a singificantly taller and much grown up Peter who decided to take a chance, and ask Harry out. If he didn't seize the opportunity someone else would hook up with him and then he'd be upset. So just take the plunge right?
The only thing coursing through Peter's veins was anxiety as he felt like he was spiraling into an anxiety attack but breathed heavily. He approached Harry who turned around surprised to see his classmate in front of him. The two barely talked, Harry was the popular jock who was also on the football team, and Peter was the awkard quiet nerd. But also Peter "avoided" Harry because he didn't want his crush to catch him at an embarrasing moment.
Peter specifically planned all of this out. Friday's were the only day that Harry walked home alone, his friends on the football team also had dentention on Friday as well. The whole team did, except Harry. The team decided that it was a good idea to prank the football team involving a whole lot of pie and whoopie cushions. The team found it funny, as did the rest of Midtown, but the coach and the prinicpal didn't. Harry, who happened to leave early for a doctor appointment that he was dreading all day had been relieved that he left school.
Anyways, getting back to the main thing here.
Harry asked confused, "Peter? Can I help you with something?"
Peter shook his head, and then nodded. "Yeah, I was wondering if, you wanted, to um, go out with me?"
Peter's face looked desperate as he awaited Harry's answer.
This could go either two ways.
One, the most preferred way would be where Harry says yes and Peter's dreams finally come true, or Harry declines him politely and Peter cries later, and the other or, where Harry starts insulting him for being gay and anothe Flash imprompe happens. That would be the least preferable option.
What is he going to say?
AHHHHHH
Minutes pass and Harry stars laughing. Peter looks confused, he's tried to prepare himself for all the scenarios, but him laughing? Um.
It's not like a causal laugh, Harry is on his knees as if Peter said the funniest thing ever. Peter feels like an idiot, a confused, idiot. He feels his ears burn red in humiliation, if that's what's happening.
Harry keeps on laughing and Peter feels dumber and dumber. He opens his mouth to ask, "What's so funny?"
Harry slowly stands up and composes himself before looking straight ahead at Peter and answering, "You Parker. You're hilarious."
