Avengers High School

Twenty Five

Arriving at school after Valentine's Day you felt very giddy. This would be your first time seeing Peter after that night. The night you ended up locked in a closet together and sort of made out.

"I don't think I've ever seen you so excited for school," Tony said as you got out of the car.

You gave him a bit of a shrug, feeling your cheeks starting to burn.

"Oh, you're just excited to see your boyfriend," he said teasingly.

Your cheeks were now on fire and a dopey grin spread across your face.

"It's so gross how into each other you are."

"Yeah, well it's your fault you have to deal with it. You're the one that locked us in a closet together."

"A monster of my own creation," he said, shaking his head. "By the way, I think you owe me a thanks for that."

You gave a solemn nod, "You're right. Thank you, Tony, for being a pain in the ass. If it wasn't for you I would not be with my very lovely boyfriend."

"Why, you're welcome."

"Okay, but seriously I'm gonna go," you said pointing behind you.

"Okay, I better not catch you sneaking out of class to make out with Parker."

"Yeah, yeah, bye Snark Ass!"

As you walked through the school hallways everyone you knew would give you a knowing smile. By the time you got to your locker, you were a blushing disaster. Knowing you were bound to run into Peter any second didn't help much either.

Shuffling through your books you pulled out the ones you needed. Closing the locker and looking up you made direct eye contact with Peter. He was a few feet away but already turning you into mush.

Shy smiles spread across your faces as you began to slowly inch toward one another.

"Hi," you said once you were close enough.

"H-hi."

You both stood there, unsure of what to say. Luckily the bell rang solving that problem for you.

"Uh, do you wanna maybe walk to class with me?" Peter asked, scratching the back of his neck.

"Yeah! I mean, yeah, we're going to the same class so, yeah."

"Right, yeah. Um, shall we?"

You nodded.

You walked closely together, shoulders bumping occasionally. Slowly your hands intertwined and your dopey grin returned.

The moment was ruined when you heard Carol wolf whistle from behind you. She got in front of you, sending you both a wink before walking into her classroom.

"Our friends are so annoying," you whispered.

Peter nodded in agreement, his cheeks tinted pink.

By the time lunch came around you weren't sure how many times you'd been teased by the others. But you didn't really care. Why should you when Peter is finally by your side?

To get away from the teasing you and Peter found a fairly empty hallway to hang out in during lunch. You both sat with your backs against the wall and your head rested on his shoulder. Vending machine snacks were scattered around you.

"Hey, would you want to come with me to take pictures on my camera after school?" Peter asked.

You shifted to look at him, "Yeah, that sounds fun."
