It had been exactly two years since you joined the Avengers as the resident kid genius. Tony had picked you from Midtown along with Peter for his internship, and he quickly found that you were an even better hacker and programmer than he was. Pretty soon he had you working alongside him, helping him make prototypes and suits.

That's when you first met Peter Parker.

You were with Tony after school one day, tinkering with E.D.I.T.H's programming, when Tony introduced his other intern. You knew Tony had another intern, but you'd never met them before. They always came in at a different time, though you knew it was a boy from your school.

You had no idea it was Peter Parker.

"H-hi, Y/N!" Peter stuttered, blushing when you nearly dropped your screwdriver. You smiled shyly, gripping the table as Tony started to tell Peter something about thermodynamics. You tried to keep working, but you just couldn't focus. Peter kept looking back at you when he thought you weren't looking, trying not to make eye contact with you.

He was so distracting, and it didn't help that you'd had a crush on him since fourth grade.

The first time Peter asked you on a date, you were wearing your "ugly pretty clothes" and binge watching Gilmore Girls. Your parents were gone for the weekend, so the house was quiet on your own. But you were in no state to see your mail man, let alone the cute boy interning with you when he knocked on your door.

"Peter?" You asked, opening the door to a very nervous Peter. He was holding something behind his back, and when you tried to look he moved back. You were well aware that he was wearing nice, clean clothes while you looked like a rat's nest, but there was nothing to do about it now.

"Hey, uh, you home alone?" He asked, realizing most of the house was dark. You nodded, blushing when you realized you were wearing a tank top. Peter noticed and decided to try very hard not to look at your body and focus on your face.

"Yeah, my parents are gone for the weekend. Wanna come in?" You asked, and Peter took your invitation. When he got inside, he shakily handed you a bunch of flowers and asked you if you wanted to go with him to stargaze on Friday.

"I mean, you don't have to. This is weird, I'm sorry, I should go." Peter rambled, after you stood silent for a moment. You were so shocked you just stared at the flowers in your hands, peonies which were your favorite. Then you remembered Peter Parker had just asked you a question and you snapped back to life.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry. I was just caught off guard, I wasn't expecting this at all. I mean, I've liked you for who knows how long and you're so cute and smart and I'm such a nerd so I never thought you'd......what I meant to say was yes absolutely. I'd love to." You finished, biting your lip nervously. What if he didn't mean it, or he decided he didn't want to go with you anymore? Peter turned back around and grinned.

"You mean it? Really?" He asked, trying not to smile like an idiot. Peter had fallen for you months ago, but he only really screwed up the courage to ask you out after his talk with Tony. Tony had told him that he was pretty sure you liked him back, and even told him what your favorite flowers were. And here you were, looking like a goddess and telling him that you thought he was cute and had liked him for a while now.

Why hadn't he done this sooner?

"Yeah, I mean it. Like, I really like you." You said, your face going red. You weren't one to be so open about your feelings, but Peter thought it was adorable how your cheeks tinted when you talked to him. He felt the same way about you, his stomach had butterflies in it if you even looked at him.
