Author's Note: HA! I fixed it! My muse didn't troll me, although it sure did try. After this I gotta write another ship but for now Spideynova prevails.
Peter walked into the living room where Sam and Danny were. Sam was on the floor playing video games while Danny sat on the couch, earbuds in and legs crossed. Peter sighed, two days and the two still weren't talking. He was about to address both of them when Sam paused his game and smiled at him "Hey web-head, come here."
He walked over and sat down next to Sam "Yeah?"
"How was your day?" Sam asked, scooting closer to Peter. Peter shrugged, not bothering to say anything. Sam frowned at him, "What's wrong?"
"You and Danny won't talk, we're barely finishing missions and it's my fault." Peter said, not looking at Sam.
Sam's frown deepened and he turned Peter's face towards him "We do still talk on missions." he said.
"Barely. We need to sort this out." Peter said.
Sam sighed and let his hands fall into his lap. He turned around so that he was facing Danny. "Hey Danny, can we talk."
No response. Peter sighed and spoke "Danny, can we talk to you about something?"
This time Danny pulled out his earbuds and looked at Peter. "Of course."
Peter glanced at Sam, sensing his annoyance that Danny had ignored him and responded to Peter. Turning his gaze to Danny he said "What did you mean by what you said after the dance?"
"I meant what I said. I didn't think you'd add a risk to the team by having a romantic attachment to any of us." Danny said very matter of factly.
"And what about calling me the least of us?" Sam asked.
Danny stood up and looked at Sam "I was tired and got my words out of order." he said, then walking out of the room.
Peter sighed and laid back onto the floor. "Well that went well." he said sarcastically.
Sam laid down on his stomach next to Peter. "Hey, we'll figure it out okay web-head?"
"Not if he keeps walking out like that." Peter said.
Sam sighed and kissed Peter's cheek "Let's just wait it out for a bit okay? Maybe things will fix themselves."
"What if something happens before then? It's not like we're normal teens. If Fury notices then he might split up the team." Peter said, staring at the ceiling.
"Come on webs, we'll be fine." Sam said, trying to comfort him. Peter just sighed, not feeling like talking.
Peter sighed and poked at his lunch. It had been a week since the dance. They hadn't mentioned anything to the team but Ava and Luke could clearly see that there was something going on. Peter wouldn't be surprised if one of them asked about it soon. Problem is he wasn't sure what to tell them. He hadn't ever liked troubling others with his problems, even in situations where his team needed to know what was going on. He didn't get to let his thoughts wander for long before Ava sat down in front of him. "What's going on between you, Sam and Danny?" she asked.
"Uhhhh" was all Peter said.
Ava rolled her eyes "Don't even think about playing dumb Peter. I know something happened after the dance. None of you guys have acted the same." she said, sternly looking at Peter.
Peter poked his food for a moment before saying "Sam kissed me." Ava's jaw dropped when he said. He looked up from his food to meet her gaze "Then Danny found out and got jealous."
After a minute Ava nodded and composed herself. "So they're fighting over you?" Peter nodded. Ava sighed and glanced around, easily spotting the rest of the team at a table across the cafeteria. "I was not expecting that. Who do you like?"
Peter sighed and looked over at their team "Sam, but I don't want to lose Danny as a friend."
Ava nodded, thinking over the situation. "Talking to them together is probably your best bet." she said.
Nodding Peter looked back at Ava "Problem is Danny won't talk with Sam around and Sam rarely leaves me alone so I can't talk to Danny."
"You could just say Fury needs you and Danny to do something. That way Sam has to stay away while you talk to Danny." Ava suggested.
Once again poking at his food Peter shrugged "Pretty sure Danny wouldn't like that."
Ava sighed "If you don't figure something out I'm gonna lock you two and Sam in a closet until you figure it out." she said, glaring at Peter harshly. "In case you hadn't noticed your little romance drama is causing us to fail as a team."
Peter nodded and ducked his head "I know Ava, believe me I know." he looked up at her again "I'm just not sure how this is supposed to have a happy ending."
"We can't be sure you'll get a happy ending. Stuff happens, specially for us. I get that you don't want to lose him but you need to either fight for Sam or fight for Danny and you may have to accept losing one of them." Ava said, it was bluntly said but it needed to be said.
Peter sighed and nodded. He knew she was right, there was every chance Danny would leave or Sam would break up with him because it was causing too many problems. He had to talk to Danny soon. He looked at Ava "Is Sam cooking supper tonight?" he asked.
Ava nodded "I think so. Why?"
"Gives me time to talk to Danny." Peter said, thinking over the rest of the day. Since Sam would be busy in the kitchen for at least an hour Peter would have time to talk to Danny. There was the possibility that Danny would be meditating but he never seemed to mind the occasional interruption, especially not when it was something important. This was important, that's for sure.
"Just get this sorted out okay? We need the team working together." Ava said, standing to leave. Peter nodded, but was too busy thinking to actually listen to her.
When Peter got home from school he stopped by the kitchen to see what Sam was fixing for supper. He spent a few minutes there chatting with Sam before heading upstairs to talk to Danny. He didn't want to talk to Danny, merely because he was scared it wouldn't go well, but he needed to get this taken care of. With a sigh he knocked on the door to Danny and Luke's room. When Danny said come in he entered and sat down on one of the air mattresses. Danny looked at Peter "Hey, how are you?" he asked, calm as always.
Peter shrugged "I've been better."
He saw Danny frown slightly, "I would ask what's troubling you but I already know." Peter merely nodded. "I'm sorry for how I've acted. I've let my emotions get away from me."
Peter sighed "I think we all have."
Danny nodded. "Indeed. Sam and I have fought for some time over who you cared about, I let my jealousy get in the way when you liked him and it's hindered us working as a team."
"You guys were fighting over me?" Peter asked incredulously.
Danny nodded again "When we heard you were joining the team we were both happy, although neither said anything. It wasn't until after Sam found out we both went to K'un L'un that I noticed him trying to gain your affection. When I talked to him he tried to deny it, as anyone would expect from him. Admitting that I had feelings for you seemed to encourage him to talk to me but it turned into us fighting over you." he explained.
Peter nodded "What about what you said after the dance?" he asked.
Danny sighed "As I said, I've let my emotions get out of hand. It was a lapse in my judgement. I'm sorry."
Again Peter nodded "Apology accepted. Can we go back to being a team?"
"Yes, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble Peter." he said, apologizing once again.
Peter smiled and stood up, offering Danny a hand to help him up. "Come on then, supper should be done soon." Danny smiled as well, accepting Peter's hand.
Together they walked downstairs and into the dining room. Everyone else was already there and seated. Peter sat down next to Sam and Danny sat across from them. Ava raised an eye brow at Peter as he sat down, to which she simply received a nod. Danny looked at Sam and asked him about his day. Although Sam was slightly surprised he understood that it meant things were worked out. He'd have to ask Peter exactly what happened but that could wait. For now he was just going to enjoy his own cooking and the team being back to normal.
Author's note: agh that end sounded cheesy. Ends always sound bad. I hate endings.
