Whats this
Peter shuffled awkwardly, He was a blushing mess as he waited for MJ to show up at the movies. He'd snuck out behind Rhodey and Steve's back, leaving a note that he was 'staying at Ned's for the night' He'd just phone up and say Ned wasn't feeling great afterwards.
He knew it was stupid to do but he didn't want his dad or 'uncles' going over board for his first date, Especially when it's with MJ.
He still can't believe he asked her out.

"M-MJ Hey! MJ Wait!" Peter followed MJ from their final lesson, which was thankfully Art. She glanced at him as the halls swarmed with people, she turned to him with a raised eyebrow.
"What loser?" She asks, brushing some of her hair behind her ear. "I'm busy." She states with a huff. Peter blushed darkly and stutter a little.
"I...I urm....I wanted to...you see..." He groans a little, rubbing his neck a bit and huffs. She raised her eyebrow at him and smirked.
"I see what?" She asks, moving into his personal space. He gulped heavily.
"Go...Go to the movies with me - A date." He says softly, watching her eyes scanning his face. Every inch felt scrutinized as she stares at him in silence. "Y-You don't have to-I-" She cracks a grin.
"I'll meet you at 7 on Friday at the cinema, don't be late. I mean it" She pokes his chest and turns leaving. He grins and runs out to get in Rhodey's car.

So here he was, 6:55 and counting down the minutes until she showed up. He was dressed in a casual pair of black jeans, with a white shirt and a blue flannel pulled over it, he tapped his foot quietly. And then he heard it. "...is that Peter?" He froze up and turned his head to see Bucky and Steve staring at him silently before they moved towards him. He gulped. "Peter? I thought you where on your way to Ned's?" Steve asks, Peter feels his face heat up.
"I was, but Ned wanted to see a movie with me and MJ. She's running late so he's inside waiting." He lies as smoothly as possible. Steve seems to believe him but Bucky's giving him 'that look'.
"Huh. What movie are you seeing?" He questions, Steve elbows Bucky a little and Peter blushed more.
"W-we're gonna watch that Emoji movie. Me and Ned wanted to see how bad it is and MJ wanted a good laugh" He covers smoothly. He can spot the girl in question walking towards him. Bucky grunts.
"It's shit" Bucky in forms him. "Me and Stevie are watching fault in our stars. It's supposed to be romantic" He grinned at Peter and winked before turning and walking away. Peter snorts a little and rolls his eyes, MJ held back until she could no longer see them before walking over.
She looked amazing. She was in a light blue dress shirt and trousers but still managed to look beautiful.
"Look at you being all not nerdy." She lets out a low whistle and smirks at the blush on his face. "So what're we watching?" She asks and Peter thinks for a moment.
"The emoji movie, figured with it's ability to sell out to the masses and the poop jokes we might be able to have a laugh" He shrugged, She grinned at him and elbowed him lightly. He was also secretly counting on the fact the movie ended before Steve's and Bucky's so he could make a quick get away. He walked to the desk and brought their tickets and looked to her. "Food and drink?" He asks glancing at her. She smiled and brushed some more hair behind her ear.
"Sweet popcorn and a soda?" She asks. Peter smiles and nods a bit.
"Sure." He orders one popcorn and two soda's before they make their way into the room. They walk to the middle of the cinema and relax into their chairs just as the movie starts.
It took ten minutes before they started cracking jokes.
**************
"His parents look like constipated jelly beans." He mumbles to MJ, She huffs out a laugh at the thought.
"That smiley one looks like she smokes meth on the weekends" She shot back, Peter laughed a little, taking some of her popcorn. She gasps in 'offence' "I dare you. That's my popcorn loser" She shot at him.
"Paid for it" He grinned at her. She smirks back at him and leans towards him and breaths out.
"Popcorn thief"
"Artistic know it all" He leaned in as well.
"Curly haired brat." She was so close.
"Takes one to know one" He mumbles, their lips almost touching.
"Fight me rich boy." She was closing the distance when the movie came to an end and People where trying to push past them. "Fuck me." She whispers and he grins at her cheekily.
"Only with protection" She batted his head lightly and chuckles.
"Come on lover boy. You're walking me home" She grins, pulling him up. He wasn't far behind her as they chatted away happily. His hand sliding into hers as they left the cinema. It was quiet. It was nice.
"So. What way?" He asks her gently, the moon light was hitting her perfectly as they left the parking lot. Her hips swayed slightly as she held onto his hand. "This way? Cool cool" He says following happily. She glances at him.
"I don't get you loser" She says gently, keeping her hand in his she squeezes it. "I'm a no one. A social out cast who's only talent is drawing and controlling nerds. What part of that sounds appealing?" She asks and Peter struts in front of her stands in her line of sight.
"Well I mean, I need someone to draw me like a French girl. Plus you're talking to the king of nerds, hello. My rooms in the compound and tower are both designed to look like a fantasy world. How much more nerdy can I be?" He grinned at her chuckle leading her forwards whilst keeping his eyes on her.
"Ok, but...what is it? What made you go 'Oh hey that chick with social anxiety is someone I want to ask out, she calls me loser all the time but who cares' What made you want that?" She asks, Peter smiles walking up to her doorstep.
"That chick with social anxiety? You're so much more than that. You're this beautiful girl who has one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. And I live with Captain America. You're this amazing person who would spend ours listening to some one talk about their problems and give them a simple answer on how to fix it. Michelle Jones is a girl that could kick my ass and keep it in line with a look. MJ is a girl who does it with a smile" He says softly, her eyes stared into his and he took the plunge.
He kissed her.
Right as her dad opened the door.
"......I thought you where talking to a chick" He mutters, Peter stutters as MJ laughs and kisses his lips once more.
"I'm coming in now dad.....I'll see you Monday Pete" She let her self linger for a moment before running in past her father. Peter stared up at him and gulped, her dad snorted and smirked at him.
"You are incredibly sappy." He closes the door and Peter runs off the front steps and makes his way towards the tower. He pulls out his phone and called Rhodey.
"Hey Rhodey, I'm on my way back. Ned took me to the movies and I think he ate something bad, wasn't feeling good so I'll be home soon" Peter tells him down the phone. Making sure to add Ned and the movie in because he knew those soldier's would spill that they saw him.
"Ok, do you need a pick up? Steve and Bucky are out right now" He says down the line.
"Nah, I'm in the building now" Peter says, surprised by how close MJ's house was to his own, he got in the elevator and went to Tony's floor to see Rhodey waiting by the door. "Hey?" He says confused, Rhodey smirks at him a bit.
"Fun night?" He asks and Peter does everything not to tense up.
"Watched a bad movie" He says casually. "Like I think the makers where on drugs when they made it kind of bad" He says with a chuckle, Rhodey nods a little.
"Huh. So nothing interesting happen? No cute girls in sight? Ned didn't hit on you did he? Nothing wrong with being gay but I'm pretty sure he's straight" He jokes a little and Peter shakes his head.
"Nope. Nothing at all." He says calmly. Rhodey sighs.
"Fine go to bed. It's late" Peter grinned and ran towards his room, only to choke on air as he hears Rhodey laugh out and call over. "I hope you had a fun date!" Peter blushed furiously and slammed the door. Damn adults, knowing his secrets.
He would admit though, he had a fun date.
