Chapter Text
Peter shrugged.
"Four, five? Really, it's fine." Peter said, fiddling with his chopsticks.
(Da Fuck!)
[This doesn't mean he hasn't EATEN for five days. It just means he hasn't eaten three meals a day in that time]
"So? Its still not healthy. Kid like him has to eat healthy." Wade said, frowning. Peter ignored him again, realising the shift to inner convo fairly easily, and tapped the chopsticks on his leg. It wasn't even that big a margin for Peter. He was used to only having enough to get by, so when something unexpected happened, like he needed new graphic card, he had to make do. He could, theoretically, demand S.H.E.I.L.D tec, but he could never trust them not to hack into his stuff for information. He wanted to have some sort of Independence from them in case things got ugly. He didn't want to rely on them, or anyone, too much. Deadpool was still talking to himself, but Peter didn't really mind. It gave him enough time to try and figure out how to convince him, and Jin, that he could pay. He felt bad not paying, and didn't want Deadpool paying with dirty money.
"Here!" Jin announced, too much food in his arms. Peter's eyes widened and he instantly shook his head.
"This is too much. I..."
"Nope, not gonna let you say it. Anything you can't eat we'll give you to go so you have at least a little food for the rest of the week." Jin insisted.
(He's still refusing??)
"I can just pay if..." Wade started.
"No!" Peter's eyes snapped to Wades, making him shuffle nervously. Stern Peter again, and this time he felt a shudder down his spine.
(So sexy)
[Is should be illegal to be that sexy]
"It's on the house." Jin said, casually, before retreating into the back to get even more food. Peter's eyes softened instantly as he returned, pleading to Jin, but Jin expertly refused to give in.
"Mum says it's fine, but if you wanna argue with her?" Jin sent a smirk to Peter, knowing the answer. Peter tensed before slumping in defeat. Jin laughed and patted Peter's shoulder. "That's what I thought. Eat up."
(God I hate that guy)
[Peter seems to like him though]
Peter had started eating. Wade wasn't willing to move his mask just yet. Jin had a habit of talking to Petey and he didn't want to have to compete with his smooth, light skin. Peter seemed to resonate with the man. He was smiling a lot and was quite animated around him.
"Do you fancy Jin?" Peter choked on a spring roll.
"W-what?" He asked, covering his mouth in politeness. "No! He's a good friend. One of my best friends, but still just a friend." After a gulp of water, Peter sat straighter and spoke clearer. "What made you think that?"
(Ummm)
[Shit]
"Well you just, ya know, get all smiley around him and he knows you really well and you know his mum and he is pretty hot, not that you aren't, you're totally hot, but he is also okay but I could totally see you together , but I mean I didn't know whether you were because I can totally see you doing all the dating things, like dinner and snuggling and sex. Not that I've imagined you having sex or anything, but I mean, I have, but I also can see you doing things, not THOSE things, but like watching movies, but I suppose I can just see you doing that in general and maybe it has nothing to do with this guy..."
"Deadpool, stop." Peter said, head in hands. Wade hadn't even realised the young man had stopped eating.
[We were rambling]
(Omg we've totally embarrassed Petey! Shit, shit, shit!)
[We aren't even entirely sure he's into guys]
(We've put him off doing ANYTHING with ANYONE now! ESPECIALLY US!)
"Sorry." Deadpool muttered. Peter was trying his best to overcome the immense blush that had taken over his entire face.
[His ears are tinted red]
(He's so embarrassed!)
Peter took a few deep breaths and decided to look up again. Deadpool was staring at him, feet taping, and obviously very nervous about Petey's reaction. He straightened and started trying to pick up some noodles.
"Its-it's fine. He's just a friend." Peter concluded, shoving a noodle in his mouth. He avoided eye contact with the merc and was suddenly very conscious of how much he did smile at Jin. It was all friendly of course, but Pete doesn't have many friends. Deadpool has certainly never seen him around friends and is probably confusing friendship for interest because he's never seen Peter when he is interested.
[Is he telling the truth?]
(It's Petey! Of course he's telling the truth!)
[What about if he's interested in Jin? Goes out with Jin instead of us]
"Well it's not like we had a chance anyway. He's too pretty." Peter flushed. He didn't know whether he was the one being mentioned in Wade's head. Maybe Wade wanted to flirt with Jin. He could have been checking to make sure he wasn't 'stepping on Peter's terf' by asking that question.
Peter flicked his eyes to Jin, now sweeping the ground, and really looked at him. Peter could admit that Jin was attractive, but he could only ever see that little kid that liked collecting bugs when looking at Jin. Besides, Jin never flirted with Peter. Never made it obvious if he had wanted something more. Peter shook his head to himself and went back to eating. It just felt wrong to see Jin in a sexual way.
"Plus, if he does say no, we can always try with Spidey." Wade concluded, gaining Peter's full attention. Wade seemed to snap out of it then and realised he'd been speaking out loud. "Oh, sorry Pete, I know that's a touchy subject for you but you can't argue with cold hard facts. Spiderman is fucking hot!" Peter stared at him for a good ten seconds before snorting. "What? It's true! Have you ever seen that ass? Of course you have, you take pictures of... Oh! You lucky son of a bitch!" Peter chuckled again and shook his head softly.
"You haven't even seen under his mask. How do you know he's hot?"
"How would you know?" Peter full on froze then. "What's wrong Petey? You a little jeee-aaa-lous?" At that, Peter snapped about of it and frowned at him.
"No. Why would I be jealous?" Deadpool was teasing. Peter knew he hadn't shown Wade anything, and he doubted that Wade could hold it together if he had figured it out during his stalking. Wade cocked his head to the side.
"Well you either hate Spidey's guts or fancy him Pete. I mean, you take his picture so the newspaper can rip him to shreds. It's either you want the paper to shit on him or you just love taking pictures of that booty. Hey I'm not blaming you, I'd do it in my spear time if I wasn't worried that Spidey would get mad at me. He can be scary when he want's to be." Deadpool shuddered.
[I wouldn't say he's particularly scary when he's mad. When he's disappointed yes.]
(I wanna see Spidey!)
"But we're here with Petey. We've already seen Spidey today."
(Yeah, but that doesn't count. We saw him for all of two minutes before sprinting off towards Petey.)
[We would have to decide which one to hang out with]
"Hmm... Petey or Spidey? Pete or Incy-wincey? Babe or Baby-Boy?"
(Decisions, decisions.)
[Or perhaps neither one of them want's to deal with us]
"Wade, I should really finish cracking that code. I'm sure Spiderman will be out tonight, he normally is isn't he?" Peter asked, rising from his chair and gathering his coat.
(That's right! Practically every night!)
[We'd still have to find him]
"And find him we shall!" Deadpool announced, looking off into the distance as he posed dramatically. Peter rolled his eyes, walking towards the exit, before being stopped by the determined looking Jin. Peter sighed, not needing to question Jin, before stating that he would like to take the rest home with him. Jin beamed and collected the food to box them.
Deadpool insisted on walking Peter home.
