"You can't be an elf two times in a row!" Peter stated. I rolled my eyes as Peter, Ned, Walter and I all walked down the street in search of renaissance costumes. "Fine. I'll be a..." I started and dragged on. "A princess?" Walter suggested.

Peter and Ned's eyes lit up. "Yes! But obviously we would need a prince!" Ned said in excitement. "Fine, I'll be the prince" Peter and Walter said in unison. They looked at each other, "It's cool man you don't have to." They said in unison...again. "I'll be it! No I'll be it! No!" they continued.

"Okay! Stop! Gosh I'm going to blow my fucking brains out if you guys talk at the same time again!" I said. "How about no one is prince, nor princess' I say step on that idea. "But-" Ned started. "But, nothing Ned. I don't want to be a helpless girl who waits for a prince. end of story." I said. I heard all of the boys huff.

"Alright! So let's split up!" I suggested. Walter and Peter got all giddy, "I call Y/n!" That said...together. I rolled my eyes and Ned huffed. "Me and Ned. Walter and Peter. Come on Ned." I said gripping onto Ned's arm and dragging him off to find a costume for tomorrow's event.

Ned and Y/n

I yanked clothes back as I looked for a costume. Everybody else had their costumes and just had been looking for accessories.

"So what exactly are you looking for?" Ned asked me from the other side of the rack look through some clothes. "Ughh! I don't know, something...Me!" I said angered. I tried not to stress but I couldn't help it. This thing was like prom for nerds. That's exactly what I need right now.

"What about...this..." Ned pulled up a beautiful green and yellow dress. It had red roses running down the spine and ribbon for days. I know I said no princess, but it can be a surprise.

"It's absolutely gorgeous" I went to go try it on and what do get, it fits pretty. Showing off my body that I wasn't so fawn of. Yet that's what gave me even more confidence.

Ned and I had purchased the dress along with some sliver heels to match.

"Hey? What's up with you and Peter?" Ned asked as we walked to the store both Walter and Peter were. But that was a long way so I had time.

"We've been going." I said looking at my feet. "It was one small kiss! It probably didn't mean anything to him. We were just- in the moment." I said, twirling my bag. But that's all Ned knew. That we only kissed. That night we almost had sex...

Flashback (the night Jonah died)

"You're wrong. I know exactly what it feels like." He went to go sit on a bench and I followed. "When I was 4 my parents died to a plane crash. My Uncle ben died when I was 15"

"I'm so sorry Peter." I said with pure care. and sorrow. I folded my hands and leaned back on the bench. "I couldn't imagine losing my parents and my uncle too. I'm sorry Peter. It's just- I love Jonah. He was the only person to understand my feelings. Sure he was an asshole but he was always there for me. Always!" I said weeping. Those weeps turned into tears. Peter hugged and comforted me that whole night.

We had went back to my house to break the news to my mother and Peter tagged along. When we told my mother she couldn't breathe. He knees were weak. She had rigged breathing and sweaty palms. Tears immediately ripped out of her eyes. She asked us to give her a moment. so Peter and I went to my room.

"It'll get better you know." he said sitting on my fake furry rug. "Yeah, I hope." I stated as i sat on my bed. I felt empty. Like something was missing.

"Don't look Im going to change." I told Peter. He turned away as I hurried to throw on a large tee shirt and no pants. I slid into bed and told Peter he could look.

"Uh- do you want me to leave?" Peter offered slowly packing up his things. "No- can you...stay?" I asked. No one was there. My mom was in another universe, but I couldn't blame her. That was her son.

Peter sat on the ground fiddling his fingers, "Can you- lay with...me?" I asked. He nodded and crawled over the covers into my bed.

"What do I do? I can't pretend like nothing happened" I said as we both stared at my ceiling.

"Just wait. It'll become bearable eventually. That hole will close but you'll always have a empty part of you" Peter finished. I rolled over to my side to face him and he followed my act. We started into each other's eyes. I looked at his eyes then his lips and back to his eyes. His hand cuffed my cheek as we closed the gap between us. Lips locking. I pushed the blankets off of me to sit on his torso, straddling him. Deepening the kiss even more. But Peter pushed away.

"Hey? I don't think this is a good idea. You're not in a good place right now and you just need a way to coop." He said to me while holding my hands. Tears threatened to fall and they did. I balled up into his chest. Still having each leg on him. "It's okay. I'm here for you" He said petting my head.

Flashback oVeR

Meanwhile: Walter and Peter....
Peter's POV

I yanked back clothes on the rack as Walter was on the other side mocking me. I huffed, he huffed. I tried to ignore it and walk away but he followed me leading up to my following reaction...

"What the fuck dude! What's your problem! Do you like fucking hate me!? Because I gotta know if the feelings mutual bitch!" I shouted. I don't know where it came from but I was pissed and I needed to know what I did wrong.

"First you take Y/n away from me. Call her your best friend. Kiss her, yeah I know about the kiss and then act like nothing happened?" Walter said, "She was supposed to be mine! My best friend, my girlfriend, my wife!" He says shaking his fist below his waist.

"What about her? What about her decisions? How she feels? What she wants! I don't know if you noticed man but Y/n is her own individual person. She does what she wants when she wants. That's why- that's why I love her." I said relieved that I let that out. I truly do love her and I wanted her to be mine. But I knew I had to let her choose.

Walters face grew in anger. Fist balled to it's tightest. Heated face just ready to punch me. And he launched his first punch. Of course I got the spidey-tingles and felt it coming but I didn't want to make a scene.

"Dude! Chill!" I said dodging his punches. Me being my clumsy self, I tripped into a clothing rack and Walt sat on top of me still punching me. I just blocked him not wanting to engage in his impulsiveness.

"Please no fighting in the store!!" The workers say. He continued punching me.

"Walter!!" Y/n yelled. I've never ever heard that tone from Y/n. It had shaken me a bit. Walter stopped looking up at her and I shoved him off of me.

"One second. One fucking second was all it took for you to rip each other apart! I can't fucking believe you guys! Do you need a fucking babysitter! Act your fucking age! Whatever little war that's been going on between you guys- end it." She said sternly. "Let's fucking go!" She said walking towards the car.

Once in the car I drove home with Peter in the passager seat. Ned and Walter decided to walk since they needed to go to the grocery store.

"I'm sorry Y/n." Peter said breaking that awful silence that never sat between them. "He kept pushing my buttons and Im sorry" He said looking over to you.

"I saw the whole fight Peter. And I heard everything." The car came to a sudden park. "I- I love you too." I said pulling the key out of the ignition. Peter smiled and so did I. We embraced this moment it was one of the many few we had.

We began to head up to my apartment. We're going to cook some food, watch tv, paint, Oh! I'm going to let Peter do my make up and I'm going to give Peter the ultimate dude makeover.Since my mom was out for a few weeks due to a business trip I was welcome to any friends over.

This night we'll be a night to remember.
