OKAY! I decided that I wanted to tie this story with the marvel cinematic universe but a bit different. You'll see how it goes, I think it's a pretty sound idea but let's just see what happens way later on though. I decided not to make this like it was in the 70's more like ten years before the original avengers okay (whenever that is)? Okay, it'll be fine. I have a non-bullshit way to do this; just you wait, guys, JUST YOU WAIT!
"Surprise?" Arryn asked Peter while raising an eyebrow. She then quickly remembered that today Peter wanted to take her out on a date. Even though it just happened yesterday the stress and the sadness was too much for her and caused her to forget that today is actually her very first date, "Oh, for the date?"
Peter nods with excitement and grabs Arryn's hands softly, "Yes, but we need to change. I'll pick you up around 6 okay?"
Arryn nods with excitement, she'd never thought that romance or dating was for her because of her shyness and her powers. Peter made her comfortable enough where she can actually be excited and actually think they could be together. Seeing the smirk on Peter's face makes her think whatever he's up to is a bit mischievous but in a good way. Arryn speaks with a grin on her face, "I'll definitely be ready by then. Okay?"
Peter nods quickly, "Don't keep me waiting, I may have been patient with you, but it is wearing thin." He says this with a smile but Arryn can see that making him wait was torture for him. She suddenly felt guilty for denying him all those months. Today was no better for him either, but she was happy that he forgave her.
Arryn smiles widely and kisses his cheek, "I wouldn't dream of it." She puts a hand on Peter's shoulder, "I should get going then, hmm?"
Peter kisses her lips and smirks back at her, "6 o clock on the dot." He then speeds off to the distance, Arryn watches him go and walks home thinking about what to wear. She passes by a convenient store and sees a fashion magazine, thinking it may give her a good idea on what to wear on a date. She enters the store and heads to the magazine section and picked up a fashion magazine. As she's skimming the magazine she sees that someone enters the store, it was an older guy with sunglasses on. She thought this was weird since it was a dreary February day and the sun wasn't high in the sky. Arryn stops looking at him when he turned his head towards her. He continues to walk towards her causing Arryn to tense and stops next to her to pick up a magazine.
'He's definitely not blind either' Arryn thinks while turning again, she finally sees his eyes, they look like they were on fire. Arryn freaks out internally and turns away looking at the magazine, but it was too late they guy already saw her staring at him.
The guy looks at her and smiles, this causes Arryn to calm to panic less, "Nice shades, sensitive eyes?" The man points to his shades, Arryn nods shyly and looks back at her magazine.
'Maybe, I should just stop being curious for once and just figure out what to wear...' Arryn started to focus on the articles telling her what's best for her body type and what's on trend. She sees that the man in sunglasses is eying her.
He began to speak, "You know you shouldn't take those magazines to heart, a lot of times it's just bullshit."
Arryn looks up at him and then back down at the magazine, "I just don't know what to wear, for uh, a date."
The man laughs, "I'm guessing it's your first?" Arryn nods and looks away blushing. The man turns over to her, "Something simple then will do just fine. Don't over think it and enjoy yourself" He turns away to walk up to the cashier to buy the magazine he was skimming and a pair of sunglasses. As he head turns the door he passes Arryn again, "Good luck on the date!"
Arryn turns and pouts at him while blushing furiously, the guy laughs at her and exits out of the store. Arryn began to wonder if he was a mutant too, she decides to question him if she ever sees him again but for now she should try to be on time for the date like she promised. She purchases the magazine at the counter and leaves the store.
When she arrives home she sees that she only have 1 and a half hours to get ready. She took this time to finish up her homework for the weekend so she didn't have to worry about it.
Consumed by her work she looks up at the clock and sees she has 30 minutes until 6. She began to flip through the magazine she bought from the store and sees a tutorial on make-up and applied mascara and dark red lipstick. Going through her closet Arryn decides to wear a black and white A-line cut dress, thick black stockings, a thick gold cardigan and black heeled oxford shoes. She added a red rose hair clip to her curly pixie cut and reviewed her reflection in the mirror. She breathes loudly, "Okay, it looks okay. Maybe it's too much?"
A voice comes up beside her, "I think you look great, Arryn."
Arryn yelps and backs away from Peter's sudden appearance, she only missed him because she was concentrating on her appearance. Arryn looks at Peter who was standing next to the mirror wearing a silver jacket, black button-up shirt and dark jeans, "Peter, how did you even get in here?"
Peter laughs, "Front door, I remembered that you kept a spare key under the mat."
Arryn glared at him, "Refrain from using that, please..."
He nods his head and replies, "Only for emergencies and surprises... and I guess whenever I feel like it."
Arryn shakes her head and looks up at Peter giving him a gentle smile. She grabs his hands and was able to feel how nervous he was. His hands were a bit shaky like he drank a ton of caffeine, a bit moist and warm. Arryn was happy that she wasn't the only one nervous but somehow him being nervous made her feel more brave and wanting him to know that she won't judge at all. She slightly squeezes his hands and asks, "So what does our date for this evening?"
Peter winks at Arryn, "Still a surprise, but it's not far from here." Peter lets go of one of her hands and use the other to lead her down the stairs then to the outside of the home. He guides her to the side of the house, making sure no one sees them.
"Get ready." Peter whispers then kiss the top of Arryn's head. He quickly picks her up bridal style holding her close to his chest so that she is secure. Arryn could hear how fast his heart was beating from where she was and then looks up at him. Peter looks down at her watching her close her eyes so that they don't dry out and then speeds off. In a few short seconds Arryn opens her eyes and was in shock of what she saw, they were at the middle of the Haupt Garden where there flowers and cherry blossoms everywhere. There was a white blanket on the ground in front of her with a grocery bag in the middle.
"Pretty romance, huh?" Peter says proudly as he walks towards the blanket. He continues, "The places around here usually close at 5, we should be good for now."
Arryn looks up at him in shock and spoke harshly but quietly, "Seriously? I do not want to get caught trespassing. Peter if I get in trouble-"
He started laughing out loud and gently puts Arryn on the blanket, "It'll be fine, plus you'll be able to see them before they even get here. If that happens I can just take us away for here!" Arryn pouts at him then Peter pinches her cheek then smiles brightly, "It'll be fine, I promise! Let's just enjoy this date, okay?"
Arryn nods at Peter and sighs, "Okay..." Peter sits on the blanket and pats the spot beside him insisting Arryn to sit beside him. Arryn sits next to him and eyes the bag that he picked up.
Peter looks at her and raises the bag in the air to show his excitement, "I made us some food, but it's nothing fancy. I usually eat whatever mom makes. " Peter pulls out two grilled cheese sandwiches and two small bags of chips, then hands Arryn's her portion. Arryn smiles at her apparent dinner, Peter looks at her then finally pulls out the last of the dinner, "And for dessert we have Twinkies!"
Arryn smiles at Peter, "Looks great." He looks down at his food and blushes.
"Nah, I know it sucks…"
Arryn shakes her head and looks at her grilled cheese, "No, really. This was very thoughtful of you, Peter. This is my first date, so my expectations are not high. Just you putting an effort in this date is good enough for me. This just brings me hope that there will be many more."
Peter stares at her open mouthed in disbelieve and happiness, he couldn't believe the kindness in Arryn's words. She's always showed him such gentleness and acceptance to his character. Although at the time he would push her buttons, she always forgave him for whatever he did. "Well, I may set your expectations higher after this date and I promise to make each one better than before. Let's hurry and finish out dinner, there's a sight that you will love."
Arryn nods at him and they ate their meal quickly.
When they finished their meal Peter throws away everything quickly and they walked to the observatory beside each other. "We're going to the observatory…" Arryn says with excitement in her voice, "I've never been able to come here since I was little."
Peter looks at her face and sees how full of joy it was, "Yeah, I assume you would like it since you like space, like a lot."
Arryn blushes and looks down, "I use like it because, the general emptiness brought me at peace. But my father described space to be the canvas of dreams, full of wishes and memories. It is the ultimate gallery of art and we have the blessing to see. It is vast and immeasurable to many, and there are others just like us looking into the same night sky, whether on this planet or another galaxy. "
Arryn pauses and looks up at the night sky, "I want to see more of it and observe the wonder of space, its extent, its order, its beauty and its cruelty." It grows quiet between them and Arryn looks back to the ground and begins to stutter, "I'm sorry I keep rattling on about space. It just gives me my memories of my dad, it is also just a generally wonderful thing you know, the vast-"
Arryn stops talking when she felt Peter grabs both of her hands gently and stands in front of her. She looks up to Peter and he is smiling at her. He says, "You like space a lot. I like that you do."
He kisses her cheek then leads her to the observatory, walking hand in hand. They climb the stairs in a comfortable silence and when they reached the top Arryn, mind was filled with memories of when her father would take her here to observe the stars with him. She looks up and sees the entire ceiling is glass which makes it a perfect view for the sky. Arryn looks at Peter who was also staring and pulls him to the telescope. "If you think that's good let me show you this… "
Arryn began to fiddle with the telescope, handling it with expertise. Arryn may not visit the observatory much her father showed her how to use one when she was young and she read a lot about telescopes. She steps away and says, "Take a look, this is the pinwheel galaxy, I even made it infrared."
Peter stepped up and looks through it.
Peter's POV
What Peter saw was amazing. It was a beautiful spiral arrangement of stars and sparkles, which was absolutely mesmerizing.
He hears Arryn beside him, "Isn't it just amazing 21 million light-years away, it would take us millions of years to get there, but we can see it from here right now."
Peter was quiet for a brief period of time and then finally backs away to see Arryn with a huge smile. He puts a hand on her cheek, "Space reminds me a lot about you, it is filled with knowledge and the beauty of it is simple and yet has so much to it."
Arryn's POV
He leans in and kisses her slowly and she kisses back while wrapping her arms around his shoulders. Peter moves both of his hands on Arryn's hips and pulls them a bit closer. He opens his mouth slightly and uses his tongue to lick Arryn's bottom lip, asking for entrance. She complies and slowly opens her mouth. Peter quickly invades her mouth and began moving it gently on her tongue. Arryn's face grows red as she also moves her tongue with his. Her mind becomes fuzzy and body becomes warm. She began to get nervous at what she's doing, but Peter starts to rub her back assuring her to calm down and that what they were doing feels good. She starts to enjoy this higher level of affection and moans lightly. Suddenly there was a ringing noise in the quiet observatory but Peter ignores it and continues to kiss Arryn but she stops because of the noise surprising her and backs away from him, ending the kiss. Peter hears just their heavy breathing along with the loud ringing of his phone in the silent room. He grabs his phone from his pocket and answers it with aggression, "What?"
He pauses and Arryn can faintly hear a woman on the other end sounding like she was panicking, "Mom. Mom, what's wrong with Wanda?"
Peter had a worried look on his face and just listened to his mother on the phone. "I'll be there in a minute, okay? Like two seconds, alright?"
Peter hung up the phone immediately and looks up at Arryn, "Wanda is having a meltdown."
Heyo! Sorry, this took a minute but I wanted to at least release in May and I may do another this month? I literally planned 6 chapters ahead and wrote summaries of them. So it should out maybe next week?
