Avengers High School

Seventeen

The end of Thanksgiving break came faster than anticipated, and the end meant one thing. Finals were coming. But it also meant only three weeks of school until Winter break. Too bad they'd be some of the busiest and tedious weeks of your life.

Coming back to school after the break you found most of your teachers already urging you to study. So after being handed review sheet after review sheet, you decided it'd be best to start studying.

Knowing you'd get nothing done if you studied alone you asked Shuri and Peter if they'd want to. Peter happily agreed and Shuri said she couldn't. (aka she's too smart and didn't want to waste her time)

So you and Peter agreed to meet after school then go to his apartment to study. You asked the others that you also shared classes with but they all declined. Everyone was either busy or didn't care to study until the last minute.

When school ended you made sure Tony knew where you were going. After waving goodbye to him from his locker you met Peter at the front of the school.

"Hey! You're good with walking right?" he asked when he saw you.

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Okay, just making sure, cause it's kinda snowy."

You opened the heavy school doors and walked outside, "It can't be that bad."

Luckily it wasn't bad. It was snowing but it was still bright out and it wasn't coming down very heavily.

"You coming?" you asked him, snow already falling in your face.

"Yeah, I'm just preparing for the cold," he tugged his beanie farther onto his head.

"It's really not that bad. C'mon," you said pulling him out of the doorway.

"Lead the way. I have literally no idea how to get to your place," you said.

"Alright, alright, I'm going."

You followed along beside him, almost constantly blinking snow from your eyes. As you walked you slowly felt the cold getting to you. Your nose and cheeks stung and you knew that they were red.

You wrapped your arms around yourself to warm up. Peter glanced over to see you attempting to warm yourself.

"Yeah, not bad my ass," he said.

You turned your head to stick your tongue out at him. But before you could even turn toward him you slipped on the icy sidewalk.

You flew backward and yelped, "Shit!"

Before you could land harshly Peter's arms wrapped around you. He slipped and almost went down with you before gaining back his balance and sitting you both upright.

You looked at his face to find it close to yours. Backing away from him you almost slipped again but caught yourself.

"Nice reflexes," you said punching his shoulder.

He chuckled, "Yeah, you're welcome."

He stuck his hand out towards you. You gave him a questioning look, not knowing what he wanted.

"Take my hand. I don't want you to slip again.

You smiled, feeling a blush spread across your cheeks. Slowly you intertwined your hand with his.

"Let's go banana heels," Peter said, gently pulling on your hand.

"Banana heels? Shouldn't that be Steve?"

Peter's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion.

"I mean, you saw him playing Mario Kart right? Dude just started driving into the bananas. He wasn't even trying to avoid them!"
