Lokitty: Hello everyone! We are finally back and I do apologize! I barely managed to get this chapter up this weekend because I underestimated the amount of work I had to do! Special thanks to the member who left a review (who I had actually meant to thank in the last chapter but it didn't show up and it still won't in this chapter so I do apologize, not sure why it won't show though...also explaining the "and for" in the last chapter), the guest 'Hikari no Yami', and to all of the people who favorite and/or followed the story, it keeps me going knowing that people actually enjoy my story!

Deadpool: And a thank you to Slothinator for being awesome! And now, for the journey into my mind…

Spidey: That's not scary at all.

Lokitty: Ya let's not do that…instead let's see what happens next, in the relationship of Peter and Wade!

Feelings like love and care weren't something Wade was used to, in fact he was used to just the opposite. He was a mercenary, so he couldn't care or have humanity or anything like that. People called him a freak, a lunatic, they feared him and ran away screaming when he took of his mask. But Peter was different, he didn't mind the scars, or what Wade did for a living, because he was that one person who special. Out in the world Deadpool would still be a freak, heartless, scary, and a bit mental, but when he was with Peter he was funny, nice, and caring. He cleaned his place up when Peter came by, (though it was messy any other time), and they had corny movie nights. Peter cared about him in more ways than one, the only slight problem was that they had agreed to be friends for now, (which was Pete's idea but he regretted it now), and to be honest Deadpool didn't like this very much.

It had now been a week since they agreed to this, and Pete was debating talking to Wade about it. They were sitting on Pete's couch watching Pacific Rim, a movie Wade had insisted was good because it had giant robots fighting giant aliens, every boy's dream. Peter was about to say something when Wade blurted out a question that caught Pete off guard.

"Why do you like me?" he was watching Pete nervously.

"Why do I like you? Do you mean as a person or, more?"

"In general, as a whole," [Finally, you got that off your chest.] (What if we don't like his answer?) [We leave.]

"Well, you know how to make me laugh and cheer me up when I'm down, and make some killer pancakes. You're the only person who knows my secret identity and you treat me like a normal person. You're always there for me and you keep me company, honestly if I didn't know any better I'd say you lived with me," Peter watched the merc's reaction, hoping that was what he wanted to hear.

"But, look at me," Wade looked at his hands.

"I am," Pete lifted Wade's chin and kissed him softly. He pulled back only enough to speak, "I don't care about the scars Wade, or how dysfunctional you may be, I care about you." The merc smiled and pulled Peter close. "Are you ok now?"

"Yes, I just needed to hear that."

"Good, so could I ask the same question…?" Pete blushed shyly. He'd never planned on actually asking Wade what he liked about him or anything like that, but he might as well now. Wade let go of him and looked at him sternly.

"You are not allowed to be insecure. You're too adorable and sexy to be insecure! And you hair's fun to mess up!" Wade ruffled his hair and Pete swatted his hand away.

"Wade I'm serious!"

"I know I know, I meant it though. You're very adorable and extremely sexy, especially after a shower," Wade winked and Pete blushed. The merc had seen him in only a towel before but never naked. "You're really smart and clever and I love smart people," he kissed Pete's forehead, who was blushing more.

"Thank you, not just for that but for staying around."

"Of course! It's not like I plan of leaving anytime soon soooo you're pretty much stuck with me!" Wade swung an arm around Pete's shoulder and leaned back, pulling Pete with him. Pete curled up into him and smiled, turning up the volume on the TV. "I promise I won't ever let anything bad happen to you," Wade wrapped his other arm around Pete.

"Thank you," Pete curled into him more and fell asleep in the merc's arms. Wade grabbed the remote and turned it off, then grabbed the blanket that was close to them and pulled it over the two of them. He's so fragile looking when he sleeps. [Because he is fragile, he may be tough but he's still breakable.] (What are you implying?) [That Wade shouldn't have made that promise, you can't watch him 24/7! You shouldn't make promises you can't keep.] But I can keep this promise! I don't have to watch him all the time like a babysitter. I was just letting him know I would protect him at all costs, keeping bad things from happening to him. (Of course he can keep this promise! It's not that hard to protect someone when you can't die.) [Hm, fair enough. Now go to sleep, because I'm tired.]Wade yawned and closed his eyes, falling asleep to the slow breathing of Peter on his chest. Of course he could and would keep his promise! Peter was a smart kid and if he did get into a situation where something bad could happen Wade would swing in and save the day! Just like Spider-man! For once, Deadpool would be a hero not for selfish reasons, but because he really, truly cared about somebody.

Lokitty: Hello peoples! Yes this chapter was actually pretty short compared to the others, but I wanted it to be just this moment between Wade and Peter, and didn't want it to be full of other things that lost the main focus of this chapter. We're back to no time line for the next chapter…

Deadpool: But it must be posted in a timely fashion!

Spidey: Why?

Deadpool: Because, reasons.

Spidey: *Sighs*

Lokitty: One last thing, for those of you who made it to this chapter, (yay thankie), you may have noticed that the writing style has started to change a little as well as the editing, (italicizing and underlining Wade's conversations with the voices to make it easier to follow along), and that is something I chose to do on my own. I just wanted to make sure none of you guys were getting confused and I'm practicing for the future to become a better writer. Thanks for reading this far and I hope you keep going with us!
