Sneaking Out

AN: Peter does sneak out of the house in this ficlet. He lies, and goes without permission. In no way do I endorse this, so please, with the current state of unrest and your own safety, please don't sneak out.

"Hey mom?" Peter yelled, already in his suit.

"Yeah Petey?"

"First off, I thought we agreed not to call me that. Second off, Wade needs me downtown, can I go?"

"Sure." Natasha answered, biting off the end of a carrot. "Be back as soon as possible, it's game night."

"Thanks mom!" Peter ran out of the room and ordered Jarvis to open the window, and then he swung out.

Peter wasn't actually going to help Wade. He was really going across town to a campfire party. Even though he knew it was wrong to sneak out, he was pretty sure his mom or dad would've insisted on him bringing along an escort and he did not want that. So instead, he had hacked his tracker and put it on a high crime area in southern Queens. If he was back by one, he should be safe. He would just say it was a rough fight. He had it all figured out.

"Peter! You made it!" Cassie yelled, swigging her lemonade. "Wait, your parents let you?"

"Technically..."

"You snuck out?" MJ asked, and Peter was honestly surprised to see her there.

"I told them I was fighting crime with Wade."

"You're gonna get in so much trouble!" Ned said, way too happily.

"Hey Stark!" Harley Keener, the host of the party yelled, "Did you bring the sparklers?"

"Right here!" Peter yelled back, and tossed them in Harley's direction.

"Who wants a s'more?" Cassie asked. She loved roasting marshmallows and yelled at Peter every time he burnt his. She insisted that the perfect marshmallow was nice and brown, roasted to perfection, about ready to fall off the stick.

MJ thought that was a waste of time and simply stuffed her face with marshmallows, while Ned just had Cassie cook his. Peter stuck his entire marshmallow in the fire and let it catch on fire.

—

"So Stark, why didn't your old man let you come?" Harley asked, taking a seat next to Peter.

"I never really asked." Peter shrugged. "They like to go places with me and I didn't want to bring them to a party."

"Wanna take a dip?"

"Sure. Just let me change." Peter stood up, but was stopped by Harley's hand.

"I'm talking skinny dipping Peter."

Peter stopped and then put on his most charming grin. "Challenge accepted."

"You sure Stark?" Harley's voice held a bit of hesitation, but when he met Peter's eyes, he knew Peter wasn't going to back down.

—

"Race you to the dock!" A kid yelled, and started to bolt through the water. Six other teenage boys rushed after him, all diving to be first.

"Last one there gets no towel!" Harley yelled, and a group of girls onshore his one of the towels.

Cassie couldn't believe Peter had agreed to this, and MJ was just hoping that his parents wouldn't find out, because then her parents, who for the most part were pretty chill about parties, would freak out as well.
