"Deadpool!" Peter Parker hisses as a bullet skims his right arm. He takes a chance and glances at where the spandex has ripped, cursing under his breath before using his webbing to swing away from the four gunmen.
"You rang?" Wade appears in mid-air, catching onto Peter's foot at the last second. Peter's heart beats faster at the sound of his voice and he reprimands himself; now is definitely not the time to be thinking like that. "Looks like you got yourself into a pickle, baby boy."
"Where the hell have you been?" Peter demands. He lowers the two of them behind a car.
"I had the rumblings only chimichangas could satisfy. Plus, I had a coupon," Wade chuckles and Peter glares at him.
"There isn't time for this. Can you, y'know, do your Deadpool thing?" Peter gestures to the gunmen and Wade puts his hands on his hips.
"Spidey, I thought we had established the correct way to ask," he cocks his head and Peter can feel his stupid smirk, even though he can't see it through Wade's mask. Peter watches as the gunmen approach and sighs, knowing there is no way of getting around this.
"Deadpool, you're the greatest fighter I've ever met and I suck. Will you please help me?"
"Well of course! Why didn't you say so, Sugar Bean?" Wade says, pulling the katanas off of his back and turning to face the gunmen. "Now who wants to be slashed first."
With Wade's help, the fight is over in a few minutes and Peter's mind is now free to roam wherever it wanted. And at the moment, it was roaming all over the muscular body of the leather-and-spandex-clad man walking beside him. Peter could feel a flush coming to his cheeks and he was extremely grateful that he had his mask on. He could think of absolutely nothing else and he knew that Wade could feel his awkwardness.
"So are you going to call me every time you're in a fight? 'Cause I'm pretty sure you're the one who told me that you could handle yourself. Or, maybe you just missed me so much you used the fight as a way to see me," Wade teases, kicking a rock into the street. Peter doesn't respond. "What's wrong, Spidey? Did you web your tongue to the roof of your mouth? I knew you were clumsy but not that clumsy."
"I'm fine. It's just been a really long day," Peter knows that he's being out of character but he honestly has no idea what to do with his feelings for the man beside him.
"Well, I know something that'll lift… you… up," Wade pops the last word in such a way that Peter knows exactly what he's referring to. And it gives him an idea. A more PG rated idea. He rolls his head as if he's disgusted and Wade laughs.
"You are so thirsty, Wade," Peter says, trying to get back into their groove while nonchalantly leading them into a dark alley.
"Well, with a face like mine, it's hard to get much action," there's a twinge of sadness in his voice and Peter's heart goes from beating to thudding. The darkness of the alley falls over them and Wade notices. "Usually when one person leads another into a dark alley, it's so that they can kill them or do indecent things to them, and I'm only 85% sure you're not going to kill me."
Peter laughs at the irony, pulls off his mask, and watches as Wade looks around, hyper-aware. They lock eyes and Peter knows that what he's about to do is going to end up really, really good, or really, really bad. Wade squirms a little under Peter's gaze, sending a ripple of satisfaction through Peter that he had never experienced before.
"Petey?" It was the first time Peter had ever heard Wade sound unsure. Peter had the upper hand and it felt good.
"Take off your mask," Peter says so matter-of-factly that he surprises himself.
"Yeah, no. It is definitely way too early in our relationship for this baby to come off," he says, making a dismissive gesture with his hands.
Well that failed, what was Peter supposed to do now?
"But man, it is hot in this suit," Wade says, pushing the bottom of his mask above his mouth.
Does Wade know what Peter is about to do? Is this his way of saying go ahead or is he really just cooling himself off? Wade's been flirting with him endlessly so this shouldn't be much of a surprise, right? Maybe he shouldn't do it, what if Wade rejects him? What if Wade was just messing around?
But what if he wasn't?
Peter closes the distance between them and before Wade can react, places his lips upon Wade's.
