Peter Stone watched as his best friend, Riley Stavros, tried to find clothes to wear for his date with Zane. He had called Peter over to help him in a moment of weakness, but he wasn't much help.
"Just wear something you'd normally wear. It's The Review, Ri, nothing too fancy." Peter said, watching Riley sift through clothes.
"Good point. When did you get so smart, Pete?" Riley asked, smirking. Peter just rolled his eyes and smirked back.
"I've always been this smart, I've just hid it." Peter finally replied, before excusing himself so Riley could change. He came back in a few minutes later, he needed to bring something up to Riley. "So, do you think you might tell Fiona you're gay?" He asked, nervously.
Riley whipped his head around and looked at him. "Why would I do that?" He asked, defensively. Peter was afraid of that. He really didn't want to fight with Riley.
"Just cuz, you know, her and Zane are close and he'd probably want to ask her for advice on you and stuff. And she might be more helpful in talking to you about the 'gay stuff'. She has a gay cousin, so she kind of knows about this stuff." He realized he was rambling and shut up, waiting for a reaction.
Riley, for his part, was silent. He was actually considering Peter's words, instead of rejecting them immediately. Maybe hanging out with Zane (even before their date tonight) was changing him. "Maybe you're right, Pete. I still need to think about it, though." He looked at the clock, it was six forty-five. "But I gotta go, Pete. I told Zane I'd meet him at The Review at seven." He left after that, Peter following him out the door. He was going to hang out with Fiona tonight, because Zane had his date with Riley and her brother, Declan, was going on a date with Holly J and she didn't want to be alone. So he was going over there.
When he got to the Coyne house he knocked on the door, marveling at the size of it. Fiona answered a moment later, wearing designer sweats (he never thought he'd see her in them) and her hair pulled back by a headband. Even when she wasn't trying she still looked good.
"Peter, hi!" She said and smiled. "Come in." She moved out of the way and he walked in, once again surprised by the sheer size of the Coyne mansion.
He followed her into the living room where a huge flat screen TV sat, along with popcorn and sodas. They were going to have a scary movie marathon (Peter had to really work to get her to cave, though, she hated scary movies).
"What movie are we going to watch first?" He asked as they sat on the couch.
"I don't know. Decs recommended we started with Friday the 13th, but I don't really care. The other ones we have are A Nightmare on Elm Street, all of the Chucky movies, Halloween, and Dead Silence." She replied.
"Let's just start with the Chucky movies, they're kind of gory, but not too scary." Peter said. Fiona sighed and put it in, and sat by Peter again.
They had made it through Child's Play 1, 2, 3 and Bride of Chucky and Fiona had held her own pretty well. Peter was actually impressed with her, considering how he knew she hated scary movies. But then Seed of Chucky came and towards the end, when Jennifer Tilly's limo driver was going to get killed, Fiona hid her face in his chest. At first, Peter was shocked that she had done it, but then he wrapped his arms around her protectively until she thought it was safe. She then promptly turned the DVD player off.
"I think that's enough scary movies. Why don't we watch Spiderman or something? We have all three of them?" Fiona asked and Peter nodded. Spiderman was a pretty good movie, and at least it wasn't a chick flick.
Fiona put the movie in and settled back on the couch, a little closer to Peter than her original position, but he wasn't complaining. He just thought it was because she was still shaken up over the Chucky incident.
They finished the movies and Peter decided to bring something up, before he had to leave to make curfew. "I told Riley to consider officially coming out to you. He said he'd actually consider it." He said.
Fiona smiled hugely. "Really? That's great!" She said and hugged Peter happily. He felt a spark when she did, but fought it back down, but thought it was stupid to. Why? They were devising a plan for Riley to face his fears and come out and he couldn't even face his fear of telling Fiona he liked her? Lame. He needed to tell her. He just hoped he didn't make a complete ass out of himself and set himself up for heartbreak.
"There's something else I need to tell you, Fiona." Peter said, seriously. Fiona looked at him, smile still on her face and her eyes were still shining as she waited for him to continue. "I like you, as more than a friend or whatever the hell we are. I don't know when it happened and I don't know why, I just know that it did. I get it if you don't like me back, though. Why would you?"
Fiona was silent for a moment, processing his words. When they finally did register in her mind, she leaned forward and kissed him. It was hesitant, but sweet and got the point across that she liked him back. When she pulled away, she smiled at him. "I like you, too, if you didn't guess." She said, smirking. He smiled back and kissed her again.
He left a few minutes later to make curfew and she stood in the doorway, smiling. She knew things had changed in the plan now, because she and Peter had started having feelings for each other. The sole mission still stood, though. She wanted Riley to be "out and proud" and with Zane. She needed to ask Zane how their date went tomorrow.
But those were in the back of her mind. Most of her mind was taken up with the fact that she had a new boyfriend. A boyfriend that she really liked. And, at that moment, that was enough for her.
Hey guys, long time no update, eh? I've been busy and this fic kind of got put on the backburner. I know I've done a bunch of oneshots since I published this, but those are easier for me to write. I hope you guys are still interested in this story, cuz I still wanna write it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi, the Chucky movies, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, or Spiderman. I just borrowed them for this FF chapter!
