Peter stood in front of Wade's condo complex, his gung-ho attitude having dissolved on the trip there but not his resolve. He would do this, for Wade and for himself.
So with slightly shaky hands and a lump in his throat Peter buzzed Wade and Logan's shared condo and could instantly figure out which man answered.
"What?" Spat Logan, knowing that whoever didn't know him well would be scared off easily by his threatening tone.
"It's Peter."
"Thank god. Get in here." And with that Logan hung up and buzzed the brunette in, not even letting the teen get a word in edgewise.
"Thank you." Peter replied quietly to himself as he entered the building. Quickly the brunette made his way to the condo, slightly scared of what the older would do if he where to dawdle. Just as he raised his fist to give the door and knock it was swung open by a frustrated looking Logan.
"Took you long enough. I was expecting you to show up within the first couple days. Doesn't matter now tho, just get in here." Logan demanded as he grabbed the front of brunettes shirt and dragged him inside. Though Peter was a bit taken off guard, he didn't really fight the rough treatment. There have been a few instances in the past that made it less threatening, such as Logan dragging Peter into his car when the younger attempted to assure that he could walk home in the pouring rain by himself. "The idiot has been mopping around in his room the past week and I can't believe I'm saying this but a silent Wade is far more annoying then a blabbermouth one." Logan vaguely explained before swinging open Wade's bedroom door. "Fix him." Logan demanded as he pushed the brunette inside and proceeded to close the door, shutting the two teens in.
Wade, once noticing the younger, sprung up into a seated position atop his bed.
"Bab- buddy, hey. What are you doin here?" He asked as Peter attempted to regain a bit of his composure.
"I- um, you where acting kind of weird on the phone so I wanted to check in."
"Aww, you where worried?" Wade asked but with a somewhat sad smile unlike his usual semi flirtatious tone.
"Of course. I do... care about you." Peter said, trying to make sure he chose his words carefully. This was such a sensitive situation and he honestly had no idea how to go about things. "Can I sit?" He asked and received only grunt of acceptance. Peter sat down beside his friend and the moment quickly nosedived into awkward, the brunette quickly understanding why Logan was so frustrated when Wade didn't speak as much. "Look, about that night-"
"Hey now, I already told you it was fine, just forget it ever happened."
"Why though? Why are you so determined to have use both forget about it?"
"Because you think I didn't like it?" Peter guessed in his own mind but didn't want to put words in the older teens mouth who squirmed slightly under the brunette's curious yet intense gaze.
"I'm just used to it by now." Wade offered with a shrug. "In fact it happened so often that at my old school I was called 'practice run'." Peter knew what Wade was doing, it was a defence mechanism of sorts. The older would talk so long and so fast that the other person would lose their train of thought and give up but Peter wasn't going to bail out now. The problem was that he didn't know what to do next. "All the bi-curious guys would hook up with me. The ones that didn't like it would go back to hooking up with chicks and the ones that did would come out of the closet and go find themselves a nice guy to fuck. But hey, as long as I kept my mouth shut I would get to shag every once in a while."
Peter, whilst half listening and not enjoying the older teens story, got an idea.
"Wade's so corny at times, he'll love it." This was the last thought Peter had before attempting to swoop in and plant a kiss on Wade's infamously never shutting mouth. Well that was the intent anyway. Instead, thanks to Peters slight miscalculation and Wade turning to look at him at the wrong moment, the two collided nose to strong cheekbone.
"Ow!" Was the first thing out of Peters mouth as he lifted a hand to cup his nose.
"Oh shit, I'm so sorry Petey." Wade quickly apologized, barely even phased by the smack to his cheekbone. "What where you doing?"
"I was trying-"
"Your bleeding."
"What?" Peter lowered his hand to find that it indeed was now dripping with blood. "Oh god."
"Quick, go to the bathroom!" Wade instructed, shoving the younger teen to a standing position and rushing him to the bathroom across the hall. "Head over the sink." He said as he pushed the brunettes head forward so that the blood could drip into a cleanable place. "Or is your head supposed to go back? Shit, I don't know."
"What the hell is going on?" Logan asked, stepping into the washroom and finding the two panicking teens. "Jesus Christ what did you do, hit the kid?"
"No no, of course not!"
"I'm sorry." Peter apologized, finding that he had lost any ounce of control over the situation.
"You, get some ice in a bag and wrap it in a towel."
"O-okay." Wade accepted in the rare case of him listening to orders.
"Okay Parker," Logan started once Wade had left the room. "Keep your head forward a bit and pinch your nose." Peter did as instructed while keeping a curious eye on Logan who checked his watch. "Your gonna stay like that for 10 minutes straight and no checking to see if it's stopped got it?"
"Yes sir." Peter said, voice slightly altered thanks to his nose being held closed.
"Have you broken your nose before?"
"Yes." To be specific he had someone do the honours for him.
"Well that explains why you bleed so easily."
"I got the ice." Wade announced as he swung around the corner.
"Alright give it here." Once the makeshift ice pack was handed over Logan carefully placed it against Peter's nose and cheeks. "We've got it under control here, you go and clean up any blood the kid left behind."
"But-"
"No buts! I'm not payin for cleaners because you wanna play nurse with your boyfriend, now go!" Wade hesitated, looking as if he was about to say something but reluctantly left.
The next 10 minutes were some of the worst in Peter's life. He stood there stewing in mortified embarrassment as Logan complained about not being a doctor and having to deal with 'shit like this'. Thankfully the brunette was eventually released once the 10 minutes had passed and the bleeding had stopped. While Logan checked to see 'the mess Peter made', the teen was left to clean the blood off himself. As he did, Peter honestly considered just walking out to avoid any other stupid things he could do but remembered why he'd come in the first place. He couldn't leave now, he was so close. So instead he made his way back to Wade's room and found the older rolling up his bed sheets.
"There, done." Wade announced to himself in relief as he tossed the bedding into a hamper and proceeded to pick up a cup of red tinted water with a brush siting upside down in it. He turned and froze when he noticed the younger standing in the doorway. "Baby boy, how you doin, your poor little nosey still hurt?" The older placed the cup down on a nearby shelf and put his hands to the brunettes cheeks. Peter let Wade squish his cheeks around jokingly, a smile coming to the brunette's face at the usual silly treatment.
"A bit." Peter admitted.
"What where you even thinking? I know I talk a lot but is headbutting me really the best way to shut me up?"
"No, I was trying to kiss you." It was out of his mouth before he could think about it. It would have been played off as a silly joke like usual if it wasn't for the circumstances. Instead Wade's expression fell along with his hands to his sides. "I know my attempt was pathetically sad but I was trying to kiss you."
"Aw no, you don't want to do that baby boy. It may be a lot of people's fantasy's but getting involved with a bad boy isn't a good idea, especially with your clean record."
"You wanna brake up with me?" The moment it left his mouth Peter regretted his choice of words but reminded himself that this was happening because he hadn't been direct enough. He needed to show the older teen what he thought and felt about there relationship, strait and to the point.
"What?" Wade asked, obviously taken off guard but the colour forming in his cheeks showed that part of him was happy to hear Peter imply such a thing. "Where umm, not dating Peter."
"Where not?" The brunette asked, eye's falling to his shoes as he found himself getting almost unbearable embarrassed. He was never good at dealing with a sudden change or jump forward so initiating it himself was proving to be much more difficult. "You could have fooled me. I mean aside from kissing or... anything beyond that, we pretty much are a couple."
"We are!" Wade said, face lighting up like a fire work at this revelation.
"Ya, I guess."
"You can't guess Peter." Wade said, tone falling to one rather serious along with his expression.
"Well I don't know, I've never dated anyone before. Never even thought about dating a guy before you so how am I supposed to know?" Peter retaliated, more out of flustered embarrassment then honest uncertainty, though it was very much there.
"Right, want to go for a test run then?"
"No." Peter shot down immediately, making Wade's rising smile fall. The brunette knew it was meant more as a joke but the offer was obviously still rooted in a bad past.
"Jeez, don't have to be so harsh about it."
"Sorry but I'm not going to use you like a tissue. I know it may come as a shock but I do listen when you rant and... I'm sorry... for how you where treated by other guys." Wade's expression of course started surprised but quickly faded into a familiar smile. Not a cocky, goofy, or defying grin but a light, almost thankful smile.
"It's alright. Gave me time to prepare." Wade said with a shrug, smile soon slipping into a sly one.
"Prepare for what?" Peter asked, half knowing he was taking bait.
"You."
"Me?" The brunette repeated, blush darkening a bit more at the images that flooded his mind rather then the fact that Wade wanted to do that.
"Ya, gotta make sure everything's perfect for my baby boys first time." Wade explained, joyfully putting emphasis on the word 'my'. Despite his embarrassment, Peter couldn't stop a smile from wiggling onto his lips at seeing the older light up once again. "That's assuming you let us take the next step." Wade added with a raised brow, purposely jabbing at how slow Peter had taken things.
"Well you gotta do it so I can figure out if I like it." Peter was part mortified that he said something like that but was also kind of proud of himself for actually sounding kind of smooth. Wade seemed to agree as his grin grew.
"I see, well then." The older slowly approached the brunette, leaning down a bit so there eye's where level with each other. Wade paused, simply to see Peter squirm a bit as he watched Wade with curious and excited eyes.
Suddenly Wade pecked the younger on the check, showing that he was superior in the dive kiss technique.
"Like that?"
"Hmmmm." Peter hummed with a far to cheeky grin than Wade could handle. Before the brunette could give an answer, he received another peck to the temple.
"That?"
"I don't know, try again." With a playful chuckle Wade obliged, kissing the brunettes forehead. "Maybe you need a bit more practise." Wade gasped in mock hurt as Peter tried to hold in a chuckle.
"You picky little shit." Wade deemed jokingly as he poked Peters side who tried to duck away.
"Hey."
"You deserve it." Wade declared as he went straight to offensive, hands reaching for the younger teens torso.
"Wait, no fair!" Peter shouted as he backed up but was quickly caught between Wade and the bedroom door. The scared teen immediately took the opportunity, no mercy being shown as he tickled the squirming brunette. Peter piratically shrieked before laughter burst through. He switched between trying to protected his ticklish areas and trying to grab at the older teens hands but Wade proved to be faster.
Eventually the assault ended and Peter was left as a gasping, giggling teen pressed up against a door. Once regaining a bit of his breath he looked up at his friend with a lot more confidence then he started with. Wade then placed his palms on the door behind the younger teen, sliding the atmosphere back into the romantic zone way smother that Peter thought possible. All Peter's past attempts at making a romantic mood with girls crumbled almost immediately like a badly made pastry but with how touchy Wade always was, it was more like a logical next step then a leap of faith.
Wade began to lean in slowly, giving Peter both time to prepare or duck out if he should so wish. The brunette tried not to giggle in slight excitement, stomach flipping as he closed his eyes and let Wade take control, knowing that he needed a bit more practice.
Their lips slid together and it was awkwardly stiff because of Peter and wonderful and perfect and Peters already racing heart from the battle felt like it was about to explode. Wade made a little noise into the brunettes lips that Peter couldn't define but it sounded nice so it was okay.
After a bit Wade backed away, leaving just enough room for the two teens to smile at each other, content enough to not need words at the moment. Then Wade began to lean in again and Peter prepared for another kiss but instead there foreheads where simply pressed against one anothers.
"Thank you." Wade whispered, smiling so brightly that it was a shame that the brunette couldn't see it from his position. The words 'your welcome' where on the tip of Peters tongue but instead he decided to say what was a bit more accurate.
"Thank you too."
I did it! I came up with an ending!
It's kind of funny because I wrote this story any spare moment I had but then I get to the part where Peter returns to Wades room and I stalled. I just couldn't think of anything for weeks but I got something! Hopefully its satisfying for everyone.
Thank you to everyone who read all the way through, hope you enjoyed. ^^ And I will see you in the two epilogs!
