Peter & Harley's confession and date
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
Was all they said to each other, after a few seconds of awkward silence Harley was the one to break it first.
“So was there something you wanted to talk about?” Harley asked sounding nervous as he felt his heart beating fast in his chest.
“It’s about what happened earlier today, you know…. the kiss….?” Peter said as he fidget with his finger while sounding just as nervous as Harley.
“Oh… Look if you’re mad about that you have every right to be mad and if you want to punch me or something then you ca-“ Harley tried to apologize in a way even though he knows Peter likes him, he still felt bad because he thought he made feel uncomfortable. Scratch that he knows he made him feel uncomfortable with kissing him out of no where but Peter cut him off mid-sentence when he told Harley the truth.
“I’m not mad.” Peter said as his face was starting to get a little red.
“You’re not?” Harley asked confirming if he heard Peter right.
“No I’m not mad I… uh… also didn’t… really hate the kiss either.” Peter confessed as he looked at Harley with a shy expression and his face a little red.
On the inside Harley was happy about how Peter didn’t hate the kiss, but then he realized how it’s now or never to tell Peter how he feels.
“Peter there’s something-“
“Harley I-“
Both of them started talking at once which made both of them laugh.
“You go first.” Peter offered for Harley to speak first.
Harley took a small deep breath and told Peter his feelings.
“Peter I like you, and I-“ Harley confessed but before he could say anymore Peter confessed too.
“I like you too, and I don’t mean as a friend.”
Before he could say anything Harley broke out laughing, at first Peter thought he was being made fun of but after calming down Harley started to talk.
“Sorry sorry, i’m not laughing because i’m making fun of you. I’m laughing because I was gonna say the same thing, how I wanted to tell you that I like you more than as a friend too. Granted this isn’t how I wanted to confess, but i’m not complaining” He said as he wrapped his arms around Peter’s neck, which made him smile and blush a little.
“So i’m guessing we’re boyfriends now?” Peter asked wrapping his arms around Harley’s waist as he looked up into Harley’s eyes.
“I like the sound of that, but I think we should go on a date first before we can call each other boyfriends.” Harley said with a smile.
“I’m fine with that, oh actually I know this great Chinese place. How does that sound for a first date?” Peter asked smiling back.
“Sounds great, does Friday around 7 sound good?” Harley asked still smiling as he stared into Peter’s eyes.
“Sounds like a date.” Peter agreed his smile now getting wider.
Both boys smiled and continued to look into each others eyes, not wanting to let each other go. After a minute they let each other go and went back into their room, when Harley’s door closed Peter couldn’t help but did a little hop as he went back to his room to tell Ned and Mj the good news. While for Harley he was jumping around and throwing his hands in the air as a sign of personal victory for confessing his feelings and for having Peter as his boyfriend.
Over the next two days Tony and Bruce noticed how Peter was all smily as he worked in the lab with them, a little curious as to what made Peter smile more Tony asked FRIDAY and instead of telling him, she showed him a clip of Peter and Harley conversation from the day the two went to the park. This made Tony smiled, and thought the team should see how cute the two boys are. Just like Tony they couldn’t help but smile and feel happy for Peter.
When Friday came both were feeling a little nervous about how tonight was gonna go, Harley was waiting by the elevator hoping that he dressed okay for the occasion, Harley was wearing a green v-neck shirt dark blue flannel shirt and some black jeans. Then when he saw Peter he couldn’t help but smile, he thought Peter looked really handsome in his black polo shirt and dark navy blue jeans.
“Hey, you look great.” Harley greeted giving Peter a small smile which was enough to make Peter blush.
“Thanks, you look great too.” Peter said giving Harley a shy smile which made him looked even more adorable in Harley’s eyes.
As the two of them went down the elevator, Tony thought they looked cute together, but with Tony slowly becoming a overprotective dad and how the rest of the team were slightly overprotective of Peter as well. They decided to follow them making sure he had a nice time on his date, Bruce stayed inside the Penthouse to keep track where Peter and Harley go. While Tony and the others were outside the building waiting for Peter and Harley so they could follow where they would go.
The two teens made their way to the Chinese restaurant, as they waited for their food, Harley went on and told Peter how he was really into robotics, Peter told Harley how he was into chemistry. Peter then told Harley about his friends Mj and Ned, and they told each other how they met Tony. Which made Harley blush a little because looking back at it now he was embarrassed about how he met Tony.
“So why a potato gun?” Peter asked as he laughed a little from Harley’s embarrassment.
“Give me a break I was like 10 or 11 at the time okay? I didn’t know what else to use to threaten a person.” Harley said as he laughed along with Peter.
As the two of them laughed Tony sent Scott to listen in on what Peter and Harley were talking about. Scott made his way around the back of the restaurant and shrunk down, he was able to make his way to their table and gave the team a summary of their conversation.
“Scott what are they doing?” Tony asked about the situation.
“They're just laughing right now.” Scott said as he looked at the two teens having a good time.
As they finished their meal Scott made his way back to the team, Peter paid for their meal and they left the restaurant Harley offered to treat him and Peter to some ice cream. Peter accepted his offer, after getting their ice cream the two of them were walk around the city, with the team still following them. Sam, Steve, Wanda, and Natasha were on top of a near by building, while Tony, Thor, Clint, and Bucky were wearing hoods and using some newspaper as cover as they kept their eyes on Peter and Harley
“So what’s Spider-Man like?” Harley asked out of curiosity.
“He’s pretty cool, he tells Mr.Stark about some of the crimes he stopped, and how he helps those around the neighborhood.” Peter said as he told Harley what he does during his patrols.
“Does he ever hangout with the rest of the avengers?” Harley asked getting more curious
“Sometimes not always, what he does when he’s doing his job as Spider-Man is completely personal he kinda keeps to himself.” Peter explained as he tried to make sure he didn’t blow his secret.
Right when Harley was gonna ask another question about Spider-Man, Tony told the other that he would try to get closer, as he was trying to get closer he bumped into a couple who were probably tourists because when they saw Tony the man screamed. When both boys heard the scream.
“IT’S IRON MAN!”
Both of them turned around too see Tony behind them, Peter hid his face in his hand while Harley covered his mouth to prevent a laugh from escaping. After the couple left smiling, Peter and Harley walked up to them Peter looking a little embarrassed and Harley trying not to laugh.
“Really Mr.Stark? really?” Peter asked trying to hide his embarrassment and anger.
“We weren’t following you we were just taking a nice walk.” Tony said as he gave the boys a nervous smile.
“Uh who’s we?” Peter asked as he gave Tony a questioning look, he then saw the team making their way towards them.
Which then made Peter give them a “really” look, as all of them made their way back to the tower, Natasha and Wanda were the first ones to apologize, the guys were next, Tony apologized was the last one to apologize but he also gave Peter and Harley their reason as to why they were following. After apologizing Peter was less angry with them, but he still felt a little embarrassed about the team following them on their date. Once they got back they saw Pepper with her arms crossed and Bruce behind her and mouthed the word "sorry" to them.
"We're gonna have a long talk." Pepper said in calm but serious voice. Which made the team flinch a little knowing how scary Pepper can be when she wants to be.
Peter and Harley made their way to their rooms, but before saying good night to each other Peter went on to apologize again.
“Sorry about tonight, didn’t think they would do something like that. Actually after saying it out loud I should have seen it coming.” Peter said as he apologized even though he had nothing to apologize for he understands that the team were just looking out for him.
“Don’t worry about it, I think it’s actually kinda nice to have someone looking out for you. Besides I still had a great time with you even if tonight didn’t really go as planned.” Harley reassured Peter.
Peter smiled walked up to Harley and gave him a kiss on the cheek, he then wish Harley a good night and went to his room. When he got there he couldn't help but smile a little, as for Harley he entered his room with a big smile on his face, and had a goodnight's sleep.
