Chapter Four
Date Night!
"Oh, look at mister fancy pants here." Sam exclaimed from his place in the Parker Kitchen. The raven haired boy was covered in flour and had streaks of frosting covering his cheeks and hair.
Aunt May was in the same condition as well. "Yeah Peter, what's with the suit and tie? I thought you'd never wear a monkey suit like it again after going to the banquet at OSCORP last year." Aunt May put in as she finished putting a flower on the cake they were working on.
Peter laughed nervously as he finished walking down the stairs into the living room. "I have a date tonight Aunt May, remember? I told you about it earlier yesterday morning when I came down for breakfast." Peter explained before turning to Sam. "You got a little something." He said as he pointed at his cheek.
Sam blinked and tried to wipe it off with the back of his hand but instead managed to smear the icing even more. "Did I get it?" He questioned with wide eyes.
Peter just nodded his head with a chuckle. "Anyways Tsuna is taking us to a restaurant tonight and she told me to wear a suit and tie. So here I am." He explained as he held his hands out to his side to show off the black suit with the red button down shirt and black tie he wore. "How do I look?"
Aunt May put a hand to her cheek as she sighed at her once upon little boy standing in front of her all grown up. "Oh you look wonderful Peter. I'm so proud of the man you're becoming." She said as she set her decorating supplies down and walked over to him, not quite touching him since she was covered in flower and icing. "If only Ben was here to see you." She said teary eyed.
Peter smiled sadly as well before taking his Aunt's hands into his own and kissing them. "He's here Aunt May, right here watching with us and he always will be." He informed calmly as he looked at her with adoration and love.
May smiled happily at that as the doorbell rang. "Oh that must be your date." She said as she wiped her hands off on her apron and walked over to the door, opening it. "Oh my." She said as she looked at the figure in the door.
"Hi Mrs. Parker, I'm here to get Peter." The very familiar honey voice said from in front of Aunt May.
"Oh yes, yes, of course, come on in." Aunt May said as she stepped aside to reveal the figure that had both Sam's and Peter's jaws hitting the floor.
"What? Do I look that horrible?" Tsuna asked as she looked down at her dress with crimson cheeks. It was a sleek strapless red dress that hugged her and showed off her slim figure and curves beautifully. She wore red heels to match her dress and gave her an extra inch she normally wouldn't have. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail that trailed down her back in curls that made Peter think of curly ribbons on Christmas presents. Her make up caused her caramel eyes to pop and her light pink lip gloss made her lips shine in the lights. "Reborn made me wear this."
"No….um…no you look beautiful." Peter managed to get out after a look from his aunt. "I'm going to be the guy to envy tonight, for sure." He assured her happily as he walked over to her and held out his arm for her.
Tsuna blushed and nodded her head. "Thanks." She muttered as she took his arm into her own two. "Shall we go then? We have reservations to make after all." She said and went to turn them back towards the door but was stopped.
"Wait! I have to have pictures!" Aunt May exclaimed as she ran towards a cabinet and pulled out a digital camera. "Pictures of my baby Nephew's first real date! How wonderful!" She exclaimed as she began to take pictures of the two blushing teens.
"Aunt May!" Peter whined as he pouted at her. "We have to make the reservations, remember?" He questioned.
"Oh right, alright then." She said as she snapped one more picture. "Then get on out of here you two! I'll see you when you get back Peter and you can tell me all about it!" She exclaimed as the two quickly skedaddled out of there and into the black Mercedes that was waiting outside for them.
"So where are we going exactly?" Peter asked as he got comfortable next to Tsuna. "You didn't tell me exactly where we were going after all."
Tsuna smiled at him and held a finger up to her mouth. "It's a secret." She replied as the car turned. It was obvious to Peter that they were heading towards Times Square where all the fancy and well known restaurants were located at. "We'll have a lot of fun though, I promise." She assured him.
Peter nodded his head in understanding as he leaned back in his seat and stared at Tsuna, checking her over and over again and again. He really enjoyed looking at her when she was dressed like this but on his tenth pass he saw something that had him frowning.
Scars.
Now Peter had scars himself and he didn't find them all that bad on people either. Some made their scars look good and even hot, but seeing that size of a scar on Tsuna…it was about the size of Powerman's fist just below her collarbone and then a matching one on her shoulder. He hadn't seen it at first because it was actually rather pale but due to his attention on her body he had spotted it.
He looked her over again and noticed that there more scars, both little and large, littering her body. But none of them took away from her beauty and really only worried him the sort of danger she got into. He knew she was mafia boss so he knew that she would be in some sort of danger but he didn't think that included getting holes punched into her those sizes.
"You're staring." Tsuna stated as she looked at Peter with cold eyes, obviously knowing what the other had been staring at. "Anything catch your interest?" She asked next with a smile that spoke of happiness but Peter could feel the chill of anger and anxiousness.
"Yeah, I wanna know what other scars you have so that I can kiss them and lick them." He stated with a smirk on his face even as it turned crimson. Peter had no clue why he had said that or where it even came from, but he was now worried that it was too much and Tsuna would want nothing to do with him. Hopefully this wouldn't bite him in the ass.
Tsuna blinked in surprise as her own face turned red as well before a brilliant smile covered her face happily. "I see." She said as she moved over closer to Peter and laid her head on his shoulder and a hand on his chest. "Then maybe we should forget the date and just get a hotel room." She said as she leaned up and nibbled on the superhero's neck.
Peter groaned as his head fell backwards before he came back to himself and instead grabbed a hold of her hand and then shifted so that he was facing her so that he could latch his lips onto her own. They kissed for several moments before Peter pulled away panting heavily. "As much fun as that sounds…I don't think I'm quite ready for that just yet." He admitted huskily as he fought to control his body.
Tsuna chuckled as well before she nodded her head. "I understand, we'll take as long as we need to." She stated calmly as she rearranged herself so that she was pushing her entire body up against Peter's laying her head on his shoulder once more. "So…you aren't bothered by the scars?" She questioned shyly, not looking up at him with her own worry.
Peter shook his head. "No, I'm not. Not the scars themselves but the stories behind them. That's what has me worried." He explained to her. "After all those aren't little papercuts…they're the size of Hulk's fists! That must've hurt and almost cost you your life." He continued to ramble on in his own worry but stopped when a hand settled on his cheek while the hand he still held squeezed gently.
"Its fine, it healed and I'm okay. There's nothing to worry about." Tsuna said as she looked up at him with glimmering eyes that spoke of happiness. "I'm just glad you don't find them ugly like some others have in the past."
"How could I find anything about you ugly? How could anyone find anything about you ugly? You are a beautiful person." Peter stated confidently and softly.
Tsuna's face returned to crimson and she didn't look up again until her driver spoke. "Sawada, we're here." The female driver stated as they rolled down the window between the backseat and front seat. "Remember, we'll be surrounding the area to keep anything from happening." The blue haired woman informed as she turned backwards to look at the couple.
Peter's eyes widened in horror as he recognized the woman in front as Lal, a person he had been warned to avoid no matter what. "Don't worry Lal, I know and I'll let you guys know if something happens. Though I doubt you guys would miss anything to begin with." Tsuna stated with a laugh.
Lal smirked as her chocolate eyes shined with mirth. "Of course, besides Reborn will be inside while Colonello and I patrol the roofs. We'll have our rifles so don't worry if you hear a shot fired." She informed them.
Peter could only gulp at the information as Tsuna began to pull him out of the car. "Alright, just be careful and try not to hurt any civilians if possible." Tsuna replied and soon shut the door behind the two.
"Oh man, please tell me she was kidding." Peter asked as he looked at his girlfriend with wide eyes.
Tsuna smiled and giggled cutely as she nodded her head. "Yeah, Lal and I are always like that. No need to worry." She informed as she pulled him into a restaurant that held several low lighting areas that were blocked off by red papered walls. It was obvious that this place was meant to be private for the patrons. "This is a really great Italian place that has awesome food. I thought you might like it." Tsuna explained as they were led to their table by a waiter.
Peter nodded his head in understanding as they were put into their own private 'room' and picked up their menus to look at. "So, how did you find out about this place?" Peter questioned as he looked at the menu, trying to figure out what he wanted though he didn't understand a damn word that was on the thing. It looked like it was all in Italian.
"Reborn, he likes to know where all the high class places are and will only let me go to them on business meetings or luncheons with business associates." She explained as the waiter came up to them. Tsuna quickly rattled off what she wanted and Peter looked at his menu before looking up at the waiter with a smile on his face.
"I'll have what she's having." He replied easily and watched as the man walked away before turning to Tsuna. The girl had a raised brow and a knowing look in her eyes. "What?" He questioned defensively.
"You could have just asked me to read the menu for you. I wouldn't have minded." She replied with a giggle. "You looked so confused and lost I was going to tell you what was on the menu but then you went with what I wanted so it was too late."
Peter scowled with a roll of his eyes. "I could've just thought what you ordered sounded good." He replied back.
Tsuna smirked evilly. "So you think that Frittelle di Cervella sounds good do you?" Tsuna questioned stoically.
Peter blinked at the question, unsure of whether or not that had actually been what Tsuna had ordered as he hadn't actually caught a word she had said. "Um…yeah sounds great!" Peter exclaimed with a wide smile on his face.
"You do know that's Veal brain right?" Tsuna couldn't help but laugh at the horrified look on the other's face as she laughed heartily into her hands to try and muffle the sound. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry!" She got out as she began to calm her breathing. "I couldn't help it! It was just too good of a chance." She explained as Peter glared at her while she finally got control of herself again.
"Well if you didn't order brain for us to eat…what exactly did you order?" He questioned hesitantly as he was unsure of whether to eat the food now.
Tsuna giggled again before speaking. "A linguine with clam sauce and garlic bread with cheese on it. Simple but normally very delicious to eat." She explained calmly. "I promise that nothing weird about this dish and that it will be very delicious." She assured.
Peter nodded his head but he would hold his opinion until he had actually tasted the food. "Well, besides not knowing how to read Italian so far this restaurant has proven rather nice. Reborn has a good choice in restaurants." Peter complimented as he stared at Tsuna with heavy lidded eyes. "They've got the right idea on giving people plenty of privacy."
Tsuna blushed at that as a small sly smile fell onto her own face. "I know what you mean, always a good way to keep the attention on ones partner for the night. Always helpful." She agreed readily.
Even though Peter knew that he wouldn't be doing anything Rated R with Tsuna anytime soon, that didn't stop him from flirting and making innuendos with the girl just the for fun and thrill of it. He knew that Tsuna also understood this and so she had no problem returning fire.
The two chatted for a long while until their food was brought and Peter dug into the noodles and sauce, using the bread to scrape up the sauce. "This is very delicious." Peter said as he swallowed a mouthful of food.
Tsuna giggled and nodded her head. "This is delicious, not as good as my mother's cooking but very good none the less."
Peter smiled and went to say something but was stopped when his Spidey Sense tingled and caused him to tackle Tsuna to the floor and cover her just as the entire front of the restaurant exploded inwards. Screams and cries echoed around as glass and wood flew with bodies following. "What the hell is going on?" Peter questioned as he looked up, the walls that had given them privacy had disappeared and left the entire restaurant in view, showing the destruction that had happened.
"I don't know." Tsuna said as she got up onto her hands and knees, pushing Peter off of her gently. "But I think we're about to find out." She stated as she pointed as a figure in a white suit with a purple tie stood at the entrance. The man had blinding white hair that was crazily spiked, lavender eyes that were glaring at Peter, and three triangles underneath one of his eyes. Tsuna blinked at the figure in astonishment. "It can't be." She said as she stood up.
Peter was right behind her as several shots rang out. "Know this guy?" He questioned as the figure seemed to step from one side to the other, easily dodging the shots.
"Unfortunately." Tsuna replied and then stepped forward. "What are you doing here Byakuran?" she questioned with an angry scowl and hands on her hips.
"Aw, my dear Tsunayoshi-kun! How I have missed you!" Byakuran exclaimed as he walked towards her with his arms wide open, side-stepping the bullets that were firing at him easily. "I came to rescue you from the disgusting piece of human filth that has decided to claim you as his." The man stated happily as he got closer to Tsuna.
Peter balked at the description of himself as he glared at the man. "Excuse me. What did you just say you said excuse for a marshmallow? Tsuna came here with me of her own choice! I didn't force her." He stated as he walked forward, intent on taking care of this guy.
Only he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder and Tsuna's voice. "Don't Peter, I'll handle him." She stated as she walked forward with a glowing orange flame on her head and her eyes glowing the same color. "You have ruined a date night Byakuran. I don't know what the hell you're thinking but I am not letting it continue." She snarled out as she clenched her gloved hands that held a blue jewel on the back of it. Peter blinked at them wondering when she had put them on.
"But Tsunayoshi-kun, you're supposed to be mine!" He exclaimed with a whine in his voice as he pulled out a white box. "Come back with me and I'll give you anything you could ever want!"
Peter scowled deeply at that and went to say something when a hand covered his mouth and pulled him backwards. "Stay out of it." Reborn said calmly as he pulled himself and Peter away from the two and then outside. "Let's get up higher so that we can watch the action." Reborn said and dragged Peter up a building.
"How much you wanna bet that he's going to be eating that Box of his?" A blonde man said as he sat on the edge of the building. He wore camo pants and a jacket with a white shirt underneath. He also wore a headband with a black pin with the numbers 01 on them.
"No bet, he's going to murder that marshmallow for interrupting his date." Lal said in return with a thing of popcorn in her hands. "Besides Colonello, we should bet on how long Byakuran is going to last this time around." She said seriously.
"I give it about ten minutes. Tsuna looks really pissed off this time around." Colonello stated calmly as he took some popcorn and popped it into his mouth.
"Are you seriously betting on how long it'll take my girlfriend to kick some guy's ass?" Peter questioned as he and Reborn walked up to the two military trained guards.
"Yep." Reborn said as Colonello choked on his popcorn. "I give him five tops."
"Girlfriend?" The blonde gasped out as he choked on the kernel stuck in his throat.
Lal just shook her head as she hit the blonde on the back and helped him spit up the popcorn. "Yes we are, would you like to join in?" She questioned him with a raised brow just as a white dragon and a man white wings shot up high into the air.
"Um…no…and was that a dragon?" Peter questioned as he watched in amazement as the two flew into the air, shortly followed by an orange blur that was wearing a red dress. "Was that Tsuna!?" He questioned next.
"Yep." All three answered as they watched the battle in the skies.
"She tends to get exceedingly annoyed whenever a date gets interrupted and she can't enjoy one normal night out with a potential suitor." Reborn said as Colonello stared at him in confusion while Lal just ignored them both.
"I can understand that." Peter laughed as he sat down next to Lal and watched the battle. Byakuran was dodging punches and using his dragon to intercept Tsuna's attacks. "I think he's going to regret interrupting tonight." He said as he took a handful of popcorn from the pack that Lal was holding out towards him.
"No doubt." Lal stated just as Byakuran attacked, tearing Tsuna's dress hip down as she dodged away.
"You son of a bitch! Do you have any idea how much this dress cost!" They heard Tsuna yell as she flew away and pulled out her own box from nowhere and slammed her own finger into it. A lion with a mane of flames flew out of the box and floated next to Tsuna with anger shining from its eyes. It wore some sort of helmet and had blue bangles on its front legs. "You're paying for that you freakish marshmallow!" She shouted out just as the lion leapt at the dragon and tore it away from the white haired man.
"Mou Tsunayoshi-kun that's so mean!" Byakuran said as he watched his dragon turn back into flames and into its Box. "How is that lion so much stronger than my dragon? It shouldn't be able to do that." He complained as he dodged another attack and then squeaked as he ducked underneath the lion where its jaws had just snapped shut.
"I don't care! You ruined my date! You ruined my dress! You ruined my mood! I should kill you again you bastard!" Tsuna snarled as she launched forward, slamming her fist into Byakuran's stomach and then a kick to the face that sent him flying into a building. "You better leave now before I decide to disintegrate you again." She growled out angrily.
Byakuran moaned as he held his cheek and pouted at the other. "Don't worry Tsunayoshi-kun, you shall be mine eventually and then I can buy you as many pretty dresses as you want…though I had no idea you were into such things." He said with a sly smirk on his face. "It could lead to so many fun nights~!" He said as he flew backwards, dodging another punch. "But for now I shall take my leave. Until next time my love!" With that the man flew away and out of sight.
"Five minutes. I win." Reborn said as he looked at the other two with a smirk on his face.
Colonello scowled as he handed over fifty dollars while Lal just raised a brow. "I never made a bet, just you two did." She stated with her own smirk while Reborn scowled at her angrily. "Now then, I think we better flag her down so that she knows where we are." Lal stated as she stood up and waved her arms with a blue flame coming out of her hands.
"Reborn…why are you calling Tsuna a…Omph!" Colonello huffed as a swift punch to the stomach shut him up, causing Peter to stare in confusion at the two.
"Don't worry, they do that all the time." Lal said as Reborn whispered something into the blonde's ear and then stood up while dusting off his suit.
"That's the end of this date then." Reborn stated as he looked over the edge again, taking in the destroyed restaurant with a keen eye. "We better stay out of view as well, I don't want to have to pay for that."
"We should just tell them to bill the Millefiore Famiglia for the destruction since it was their boss who did it." Lal commented as she hefted her gun onto her shoulders and watched as Tsuna came for a landing.
"That's a brilliant idea." Colonello wheezed out as he rubbed his stomach. "So should we take the kids home then?"
Peter frowned at that as he thought about this long awaited night coming to an early end. Then that's about the time he remembered that one place that Harry had taken him and MJ to several times before. "Hey, how about we not go home just yet." He said just as Tsuna landed on the building. "I know a place…that is if you still want to go with me Tsuna." Peter said as he looked at her with hopeful eyes.
Tsuna blinked in surprise for the third time that night before nodding her head. "Yeah…I still want to go with you." She said as a small and soft smile fell onto her face. "Where are we going?" She questioned as she followed Peter towards the roof entrance that would lead them into the building.
"It's a surprise." Peter returned with a smirk on his face that caused a pout to appear on Tsuna's own.
"How mean Peter!" She exclaimed as the two disappeared inside with three amused adults right behind them.

"So you had us get new clothes for what exactly?" Tsuna questioned as she looked down at the short orange plaid skirt she wore with a black button up shirt with an orange tank top and then black Mary Jane flats. Her hair was loose but still curly from the earlier hairstyle.
"The place I'm taking us to isn't exactly formal wear." Peter explained from where he wore his red dress shirt opened to reveal a white t-shirt and a black skinny jeans. He still wore his dress shoes as well while his suit jacket was thrown on the seat of the Mercedes they rode in with Lal and Colonello up front while Reborn rode in another car. "You'll enjoy yourself here though, my friend Harry used to take me and another of our friend here to relax and enjoy ourselves."
Tsuna nodded her head in understanding as she pulled on the short skirt so that it would cover a little bit more of her legs. "Okay, well, are we going to be there soon?" She questioned as she looked outside to see themselves near where the Avengers Tower was.
"Yep, just a few more minutes and we'll be there." Peter explained as he pulled out his wallet and pulled a card out. "We'll be able to get ahead of everyone with this." He explained as he showed the blue card to Tsuna. The card had a serial number on it and a large stylized A on it.
"What exactly is this place you're taking us too?" Tsuna questioned as she took the card into her hands and looked at it carefully. "The Avengers View?" She questioned with a raised brow.
Peter nodded his head. "Yep, this place was made after the Avengers became a team. It used to be a hotel but was refurbished into a club with all glass windows and facing the Avengers Tower. It was made so that people could watch the Avengers come and go and get a glimpse of their heroes. It was turned into a club later to bring in money to keep it open."
Tsuna hummed and nodded her head in understanding as she handed the card back. "So how come the special card then? Is it normally a long wait to get inside or something?"
"I can be but this card will get us up to the top floor where some of the better dance floors and bars are. The bars are nonalcoholic but I advise on not leaving your drink unattended." He warned carefully as a hard look entered his eyes. "This might be a teenager joint but there are still a bunch of jerks out there waiting to get what they want however they want."
Tsuna smiled at Peter and nodded her understanding. "Alright, that's fine. I'll have your back if you have mine." She stated and her smile grew even larger as Peter nodded with his own smile. "Great than no worries."
"Yeah." The superhero nodded in agreement as the car came to a stop outside of a normal looking building.
"We're here. Reborn will follow you inside and keep an eye out. We'll let you know if something happens on the outside." Lal informed them.
"Yes because that worked out so well last time." Peter drawled out as he followed Tsuna out of the car.
"Hey, we're only human!" Colonello called out next with an angry scowl on his own face that matched Lal's.
"Yes but you're supposed to be the best." Tsuna replied with a chilly air about her. "You missed on purpose and didn't inform me on purpose…expect a pay cut…all three of you in the next few days." She informed calmly with a chilling smile.
The two paled and Peter swore he heard cursing coming from somewhere behind them but couldn't find who it was. "I forgot why we don't make Tsuna mad." Colonello muttered as he settled into the car.
"Don't forget why next time then." Tsuna replied as she pulled Peter towards the building. "So…how are we getting in?" She questioned as she looked at her date.
"Using this card." Peter said as they came up to the door where a scanner was set off to the side. "It'll open an elevator and take us all the way to the top. Most people have to pay for these cards in advance and they'll only work once. Mine will work all the time whenever I want." He explained as he waved the card in front of the card and the door opened to reveal the elevator.
Tsuna nodded her head in understanding as they walked into the elevator and then the doors shut and it started to move. "Cool." She said as they waited for the elevator to come to a stop.
Peter nodded his head as well as the elevator stopped and opened to reveal a large room with blaring music. "We're here." He said as he pulled her out onto the floor and twirled her. "How about we dance a while." He suggested as he pulled her up against his chest and swayed back and forth even though the music was fast paced.
"Sounds like a plan." Tsuna replied as she began to spin them around until she was doing spins and flips, Peter helping and catching her as she did. "Wow, you can keep up, that's great." Tsuna got out breathlessly as they slowed down enough to where they were simply moving against each other quickly, her back to his chest.
"Hey, I can move when I want to." Peter stated with a laugh.
"That's good to know!" Tsuna shouted out as she picked up the pace again, Peter easily keeping up and moving with her. "That means we can have all the fun we want."
With that the two danced the night away under the watchful eye of Tsuna's tutor.

"But I want more!" Lambo complained as Ryohei pulled him away from the ice cream shop they had been had for the past half an hour eating ice cream of all kinds.
"I know but it'll give you a stomach ache to the extreme!" Ryohei explained with a serious look on his face. "I cannot allow you to eat that much or Tsuna will extremely kill the both of us."
Lambo paled at the mention of Tsuna and instantly cowed remembering when the brunette had chewed into him for getting sick from eating too much candy. He didn't want to go through that again.
"Ah ha, I've found two more of the pieces I need." A voice said from behind the two males, causing Ryohei to let Lambo's hand go and stand in front of him protectively, hands held up ready to fight.
"Who are you to the extreme?" Ryohei questioned with narrowed eyes, quietly activating his bangle on his arm. He knew in someway that this slicked back haired man was not someone to mess around with. He needed to be on his guard.
"Oh me…no one of importance…not like you and that little boy right behind you." The man stated as he tapped his cane on the ground, the blue glow from the gem on top of it caught the Boxer's attention before he returned it to the man's face.
"What do you want with us?" Ryohei questioned next as he prepared to attack. He wasn't going to waste time when it seemed that this man was obviously after them for whatever reason. "Lambo, run." Ryohei whispered.
Lambo gulped and shook his head as he clutched to his older brother figure. He didn't want to let go of the boxer due to the fear coursing through his body. It was obvious even to him that this man was much stronger than anyone they had faced.
"It won't matter if he runs away or not, I'll get him and you without trouble." With that the man disappeared, causing Ryohei to blink in surprise and then fear as a feeling of sleepiness overcame him.
"Lambo….runaway…" Ryohei got out just as he fell to the ground dead asleep.
What he didn't see was Lambo also falling asleep next to him, leaving the man standing over them.
"Three down…four to go."
