Chapter 18
We walked up to a small lit up ice cream shop on the West side of the city. There were only two cars in the parking lot. We walked in and I saw a young man at the front playing on his phone. Wade led me over to the ice cream section, I decided to go with plain chocolate ice cream. While Wade on the other hand, went with every possible combination you could have thought of.
“That’s an interesting combination.” I said smiling.
“I like to keep things interesting. If you know what I mean Baby Boy.” He winked at me for that last part.
My cheeks turned a lovely shade of red, no doubt. Luckily my mask covered my face. “Ha. Funny Wade.” I said shyly.
Wade paid for my ice cream which was nice. We went up to the roof of the shop and sat with our legs dangling over the edge. I started to eat my chocolate goodness, pulling my mask up to my nose, but Wade was just sitting there, looking at me.
“What’s wrong?” I asked confused.
“Oh sorry, it’s not you. You’re fine, well actually you’re perfect, but that’s beside the point.” He rambled.
His mask was still on, maybe he doesn’t want me to see his face. I knew that he had scars from some kind of experiments from some Weapon X program. Was he afraid to show me, I’ve never seen them before, there wasn’t any photos in his file. When I was at the tower one day, I decided to see if I could hack into Stark’s database system, which I did. Anyway, I read up on some of the villains and heroes in New York, and Deadpool’s file was on there so, being a curious teen up to no good, I looked into it. That’s how I knew about the scars.
“Is it about your scars?” I asked cautiously. I didn’t want to push.
“Uh..no.” He paused. “Yeah, they’re not the nicest thing to look at. They make most people run away, or get sick...then run.”
{Can we trust Spidey? Will he run away?}
[ I don’t think he will run, and I really want to eat this ice cream before it melts.]
{ Plus, it’s not like you have to take it off completely, right?}
I watched as Deadpool was silently nodding to himself, almost as if someone was talking to him. He finally set down his ice cream and raised his hands to the bottom of the mask. He lifted it up just past his nose, and then started to eat. I knew that he must have worked up a lot of courage to do that. I looked looked over at him, he was devouring his nasty combination of toppings and ice cream. I chuckled a bit and he turned to look at me.
“Wha..” He said with a little bit of ice cream on the side of him mouth.
“Nothing, it’s nothing.” I said still lightly laughing.
“C’mon Spider-babe what is it?” He said.
“It’s just, who the hell can eat ten gummy worms in two seconds!” I said shocked.
“You should see what else I can eat.” He said low and seductively. He winked at me and licked the ice cream from the corner of his mouth.
We both started laughing so hard that I almost fell off of the roof. We finished and started to head back to Wade’s apartment.
“You wanna do something fun?” I asked, hoping that the answer would be yes.
“Sure?” He said slightly questionably.
We were in the city so lots of tall buildings surrounded us. I walked over to him and wrapped my arm around his waist.
“Hey, at least let me buy you dinner first Baby Boy.”
I aimed my web shooter at the closest building and we both shot up into the air.
“Holy shit!” He screamed. I smiled at this.
I swung us all around the city until we reached his apartment. He said it was like a roller coaster with all the ups-and-downs. I set both of us down gently.
“We have to do that more often.” Wade said still excited.
I just laughed as we walked into the apartment.
“So you wanna watch a movie?”
“Sure, what do you got?”
“Star Wars?”
“Always! But which one?” I said excited.
“Well it’s up to you. I have all of them.”
“You know this night started off pretty shitty but now-It’s fucking awesome!” I pulled off my mask and sat down on the couch. Wade put in The Empire Strikes Back, my personal favorite. He came over and sat down next to me. I didn’t move, because...well I really liked being around Wade, I felt safe. Like no one could ever get to me, or hurt me. It was really nice, a breath of fresh air.
Wade POV…
Spidey-kins and I were watching The Empire Strikes Back, my favorite movie. We got halfway through the movie when I felt a small head lean on my shoulder. Peter fell asleep on me. How cute. I could never have imagined that today would have turned out like this. I mean let's make a list here.
{ 1. Spider-man is like really young.}
[ 2. He’s also super hot.]
{ 3. He lives with the Avenger’s and Tin-man and Spangles are his parents.}
[ 4. He has scars, and issues just like us.]
“And five.” I whispered. “He’s absolutely perfect, and I promise not to let anything happen to him.”
I finished the movie by myself, letting Peter sleep on me. When it ended I scooped him up in my arms and carried him to the bed. He was surprisingly light. I covered him up and he snuggled into the warmth of the blankets. I took the couch and fell asleep perfectly fine.
