warnings: swearing, one sexual innuendo, overall fluff
summary: Peters nervous to asking you out
a/n: pls let me know what you think
"What about just asking her, hmm? You ever think of that Peter?"
"NO! Ned, if I'm going to ask y/n out it needs to be perfect." Peter was scrambling around his room, with Ned sitting on his bed watching Peter work. "Y/n is perfect so asking her out has to be perfect. Maybe I should get a hundred flower, yea that sounds good."
"Dude, you're broke how could you pay for that?" Peter shrugged his shoulders and went back to thinking of new ideas to impress you with. "You've been trying to ask her out since middle school and now it's been what, like seven years? And you've known her longer then anyone else, do you really think that she would like a big extravagant thing?" Ned was seriously getting concerned, Peter has been smitten for you for an unhealthy amount of time and the poor guy hasn't even made a move. "When I ask out Betty all I just said 'do you want to go out with me' and we did, and I barely even knew her and she said yes, you have nothing to worry about."
Peter let out an annoyed groan, sitting down next to Ned on the bed "yes I do! What if she only see's me as a frien-"
"Peter! She is head over heels for you! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Ned shouted a little too loudly.
May knocked on Peter's door and poked her head, "Are you boys ok? I heard yelling?"
"Ye-" "Peter is being a pussy and not asking out Y/N." Ned stated bluntly, causing Peter to punch Ned in the shoulder. "Dude what the actually fuck." May stepped fully inside and crossed her arms, giving Peter a look. "Aunt May I can't, what if she doesn't-"
"Bullshit Peter, I've known y/n since diaper days and every time she comes over it's like you two are about to jump each other but your both too scared-"
"AUNT MAY, PLEASE!" Peter jumped up, his face was red and he was starting to sweat all over. "I don't want my aunt to talk about me and y/n jumping each other."
May put her hands up in defense , "look it's true and Peter you need to grow up and ask her out." And with that May left leaving Peter and Ned alone in his room.
"May has a point you know, your just stalling at this point," Ned exclaimed.
Peter sighed, sitting down on his desk chair, "all right fine, I'll ask her out tomorrow."
The next day at school Peter had sweated through 3 shirts, something he didn't realize was humanly possible, and now the last bell rang and Peter was waiting for you at his locker.
Ned patted Peters back trying to calm him down, "Buddy your gonna do great, just remember she is head over heals." Peter nodded his head, he was standing up straight and staying still, aside from his shaking. "Mj said she is gonna text me when y/n is around the corner, then I'm gonna go, are you gonna be ok?"
"Yea, yea, I'll be ok." Peter quietly said. Neds phone buzzed and he quickly pulled it out from his pocket, "MJ, she says y/n is coming around the corner." Ned patted Peters back and left.
As you came into Peters line of sight, every single outcome of the next couple of minutes came into his head. Would you turn him down? Would you laugh at him? Would you take pity on him and not mean it if you say yes? Peter wanted to sprint off, come up with some excuse but his feet seemed to be glued to the floor.
"Hey Peter? You wanna walk home together?" You spooked Peter, and now suddenly actually being in your presence was calming. Sure he felt like his stomach just did 50 cartwheels, and maybe he feels like vomiting, but actually being around you, made his heart skip a beat. Being around you made him happy, and he wanted that for the rest of his life.
"Uh yea, let's go." You both left the school and walked on the streets of Queens.
Peter had no idea what to say, Hey y/n I've liked you since middle school do you maybe want to go out? No, too forward. Do you maybe want to go out sometime? No, too unsure.
"Hey Peter? Uh-, you know how we've been friends since forever right?" Oh no, Peter thought, are you gonna leave him? Peter just nodded his head, "So, I really like you and I was wondering if you wanted to maybe go out Friday, as a date?"
Peter stopped walking in his tracks, he was looking down, was this a prank? Did Mj or Ned put you up to this?
"I'm sorry Peter, I know you don't feel the same way, I just had to ask." Not feel the same way? That's ridiculous, how could someone not like you?
Peter looked up, he thought he should probably say something, "No, y/n, I-I" Peter let out a sigh, unsure what to say, "I feel the same, I really really like you." The smile that Peter loves so much crept onto your face, "I can't wait for Friday."
Next this Peter knew you hugged him your hands around his neck, it took a second to processes what was going on but when he did he wrapped his arms around your lower back. You each pulled back, arms still round one another, and slowly you both leaned into one another for a kiss.
Peter had his eyes closed, and all he could hear was his heartbeat pounding in his chest. His hands that were wrapped around your waist slightly tightened as you depend the kiss.
You broke the kiss and he sheepishly smiled, "do you maybe want to do that date now? I don't think I can wait for Friday."
