Stargazing
Over the next few weeks Peter and Harley spent the rest of the summer vacation, by just spending time together. They would go on some simple dates like dinner or going to the movies, one time when Harley was video chatting with his sister and mother, he introduced them to Peter. They instantly loved within the first few seconds of meeting him, with summer coming to end soon they tried to make each day count before Harley had to leave. The next morning it was the last day before Harley had to leave, and he was in a surprise. When he woke up for breakfast, he was greeted a big stack of Steve’s famous pancakes along with a note saying to meet him at Central Park. After finishing his breakfast, he got dressed and headed off.
Once he got there he looked for Peter, when he couldn’t find him he saw a statue with a piece of paper with his name on it along with an envelope. When he picked it up, it showed it was a note saying “Even though we didn’t have our first date yet, this is technically where he had our first kiss. As for our first date go to where we had it.” A little confuse about the little scavenger hunt he was going on, he couldn’t help but be more curious about what the team or Peter had planned. Reaching the restaurant they had their date, he stepped in to find the place empty. He looked down at the floor and saw some arrows leading him to a table, on it was a fortune cookie with another note. The note said “You’re halfway done, just go to the place where we had a sweet treat after.” Getting more curious he started to figure out the little hunt he was on, before leaving he opened the fortune cookie and read the fortune saying “Something good will happen, when the time comes”, he then left to the place he and Peter went to after their date.
He made it to the ice cream place, and was instantly called up to the front by one of the employees. Making his way to the front, the employee gave him another note along with his favorite ice cream flavor. Looking at the note it said “The quest is almost done just come back to where you started.” He finished his ice cream as he headed back to the park, he was expecting someone or something to give him another note. Instead he saw made him stop in tracks, he saw Peter sitting at a table with a flower in his hand. Harley couldn’t help but smile, to him Peter looked just amazing the first day he met him. Harley’s smile didn’t go away as he walked towards Peter, he was greeted by the flower and a kiss.
“So what did you think of the quest you went on?” Peter asked shyly as his arms were wrapped around Harley. In response Harley let out a small chuckle and kissed Peter again.
“It was a little confusing at first, but it was really fun. It was nice going to the places we went to when we started to date.” He said giving him a small smile.
“I’m glad you liked it.” Peter said giving him one more kiss before pulling away from him.
As the two sat down and had their lunch, they sat and ate in silence. The two would looked up at each other every few minutes, they didn’t say anything they would give each other a smile. Thankfully Peter broke the silence.
“Hey I’ve been thinking. About us. And even though you’re going home tonight, you’re the best boyfriend I’ve dated. That’s why I want to keep doing this, d-dating I mean.” Peter said calmly but he could feel his heart beating so fast from the fear about what Harley would say.
Hearing that Peter wants to keep the relationship going, made Harley go wide and a huge smile appeared on his face.
“I was actually thinking the same thing! You have been one of the few people that has been to make me smile. And when I heard Tony wanted me to spend the summer here I wasn’t expecting to get the most awesome and adorable boyfriend.” Harley said as he took hold of one of Peter’s hand and started to cress his knuckles.
Peter couldn’t help but blush a little at the compliment and smiled that Harley felt the same. Once the two finished their meal, they didn’t know exactly what to do next. They could go back to the tower and watch a movie, but Harley had another idea.
“Hey how about we go web-slinging again?” Harley asked giving Peter a smile.
“You sure? aren’t you still a little traumatized or something?” Peter asked half jokingly.
“A little but this time, I think it’ll be more fun.” Harley replied giving him a small smirk.
Peter couldn’t but laugh a little at Harley’s playful attitude, he then went on to change into his Spider-Man suit thankfully no one was around to see him change into it. Once he was all suited up, the two of them held onto each other and started swinging in the air. Unlike last time when Harley was terrified, this time both him and Peter were shouting out of excitement and laughing at each others silliness. After swinging around for about an hour, they landed on the roof of Peter’s apartment building.
“So what did you think this time?” Peter asked as his mask retracted to show the smile he has on his face.
“It was more fun this time.” Harley said giving Peter a quick peck on his lips.
Peter smiled and looked into Harley’s eyes before going in for another kiss. As they pulled away the wrapped each other in each others arms, since Harley was a little taller than Peter, he rested his head on top of Peter’s, and Peter buried his face into Harley’s chest. Not wanting to let each other go, Peter reluctantly pulled and told Harley that they had to go back. Harley let out a groan but agreed, the two swung back to the tower. Peter went to take a shower, once he was finished and dressed he saw that the whole living was dark. Then he heard FRIDAY telling him that Harley was waiting for him on the roof, when he got there, he saw that there was a blanket on the ground and that there were lit candles surrounding Harley.
“Hey darling.” Harley greeted as he went up to kiss Peter.
“Wow and here I thought I was suppose to make you speechless.” Peter joked as he looked at the picnic blanket and candle lit dinner.
“Actually this wasn’t me.” Harley said as he handed Peter a note that showed it was signed by Tony.
Peter opened the note, and both him and Harley started to read it.
“Hey boys, consider this our way of saying sorry for following you on your date, hope you enjoy!”
-The Team
Both boys stared at the note, and for the next few seconds they were quiet before breaking out in laughter.
“How much you wanna bet Pepper was the one who came up with the idea?” Harley asked calming down from the laugh attack.
“Honestly it could be her idea.” Peter replied calming down as well.
When both of the boys were calm they leaned in for a kiss, and went on to have their dinner. Once they were done, they put away the plates, but before leaving Peter commented how the stars looked tonight. Harley looked up and couldn’t explain why but he felt at peace. Without saying anything Harley moved the basket aside and laid down, Peter looked over at Harley which made him say
“You plan on joining me?”
Harley’s questioned made Peter smile, and he snuggled closer to Harley and rest his head on Harley’s chest and the two of them just looked at the night sky full of stars.
