~ Peter P.O.V~
Walking back home from school the past few weeks I've been feeling some one or something watching me, but my spidey sense never goes off for some reason. As I kept walking the feeling of the eyes got closer to me. I quickly deiced to skip going home to keep Aunt May safe and head to Stark tower to see if Tony has any explanation or ideas on whats going on. But being the smart teenager I am (emphasis on the sarcasm) I decided to take what looked like a back ally as a short cut. Soon after entering it I figured out that the ally was really just a road to get into the parking lot of the complex surrounding it. Sighing I spun on my heel to leave and go the correct way but my way was blocked by a man wearing a red and black spandex costume with weapons strapped to him. This is not going to be good I thought. "Do you mind stepping aside please?" I asked hoping I wouldn't have to go all spidey on him.
"Nope, sorry no can do kid. I need information on Spider-man and I hear that you know how to get in contact with him." The man stated while pulling a katana off his back. Great just great he's going to kill me no matter what I do or say.
"Uhm I'm sorry sir but I think you have me confused with some one else." I said hoping that he would believe my lie. Raising an eyebrow from under he mask he grabbed some photos out of one of his many pouches and shoved them at my face.
"So this isn't you Peter Parker?" He asked threatening. I groaned inwardly, thats why I've had the feeling some one was following me. Scanning the photos I frowned spotting one of me taking Aunt May out for supper last month.
"Yes the guy in the photos is me." I said praying that I wouldn't regret this. The man smiled sickly from under his mask. Great. He put the photos back and pulled out another set, this time me changing out of my spiderman costume and into street clothes. This time I groaned out loud and face palmed. This was just getting worse and worse.
"YAY!!! I found Spidey!" He said in a higher pitch then before.
"Yes you found him." I grumbled as he just kept smiling.
"So you noticed me at all or anything?" He asked tilting his head to the side.
What do I have to lose now?
" I only noticed some one following me a couple weeks ago." I muttered glaring at him.
"Hey don't glare at me, I was only doing what I was paid for, and besides there's only me and two other people who know about this." He said gesturing towards the photos.
"Why does that make you think that that fact makes this situation any better!! In fact it makes it worse!" I shouted getting fed up with this. Who knows who this guy is working for, they could be out to kill me and now this guy's got photo evidence that I'm Spider-man.
"Peter, I hired Deadpool so your secret is safe." A familiar voice said. Tearing my gaze away from my hired stalker I saw Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. I gave them a death glare and crossed my arms over my chest.
"What's the meaning of this." I snarled unimpressed that my boss went digging through my life. I never talked during any S.H.E.I.L.D. meetings so how the hell did he figure this out.
"Look, I know this is wrong but would you have told the truth if I had just asked you straight up if you where Spider-man?" Tony asked.
"No, but what gives you the right to hire some one to stalk me!" I shouted gesturing to the spandex clad man. This is getting ridiculous.
"Nothing but I just really wanted to know. It's in my nature to be over curious." He let out a sigh. "Peter the only person you have to be mad at is me, not Steve or Deadpool." He explained, but I just glared at him getting more annoyed.
"Peter, Tony just had the best intentions in mind even tho he went about it in all the wrong ways. But at least now you can talk at meetings." Steve said with a small smile.
"What ever." I muttered shoving my way throughout the three men and headed home.
I avoided talking to Aunt May knowing that I would only snap at any one who tried talking to me. I headed up to my room, put on some music then started working on home work.
The next few days where good, I had no feelings of being watched and Tony didn't call me into his lab for help. Unfortunately the week end wasn't as good. I ran into the man in the red and black suit on my way home from the library. "What do you want?" I asked as he fell into step with me.
"Look I'm sorry for what happened last week, and I was just wondering if, you know, we could start fresh?" He asked running a hand down the back of his head. I shrugged in response, I didn't think that there would me any harm in doing so and even with all the weapons he hadn't triggered my spidey sense.
" Sure if you want to." I said realizing that he hadn't seen my shrug.
"YAY! Thank you!" He said smiling, I smiled back. "Name's Wade, but most people call me Deadpool." He said holding out his hand.
"Peter, nice to meet you." I said as I took his hand and shook.
"So Peter can I take you out for supper?" He asked running his hand down the back of his head again, almost like he was nervous.
"That would be nice." I said giving him a small smile.
"Let me get changed and I'll pick you up at your house at six?" He asked nervously. I was planning to ask him how he knew where I lived but then I remembered he was the one hired to stalk me.
"Sounds good." I said still smiling. Wade gave me a quick hug then trotted off into the distance leaving butterflies in my stomach.
I walked back home and greeted Aunt May with a hug. "Hey Aunt May I'm not going to be here for supper. I meet this guy at the library and he asked me out to a diner date." I said beaming causing her to smile.
"Have fun on your date dear." She said kissing my check.
"I will." I said then headed up starred to take a shower. I was to glad Aunt May was ok with me being gay. I can't say the same for Gwen and MaryJane tho, they weren't too happy or accepting. They abandoned me after I came out, but it happens, sure it's sad but it's in the past now. Stepping out of the shower I wrapped a towel around my waist and shook out the memories of my former friends. Walking back to my room I grabbed a pair of boxers and jeans from my closet then pulled them on, walking back to my closet I started searching for a suitable shirt to wear to wear. Finally I found a plain black shirt, I tugged it on then headed down stairs to watch some tv with Aunt May. I keep checking the clock hoping that Wade wouldn't forget about our date or stand me up. Finally at exactly six the door bell rang. Quickly I got up and opened the door soon realizing that I didn't know what Wade looked like with out his mask on. I looked at the man standing out side wearing ripped jeans and a red and black stripped hoodie with the hood up covering his face from a clear view. I stood there staring at him trying to figure out if this was the man I was going on a date with or some one else.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." The semi-familiar voice teased.
"Hey Wade." I said smiling. "Bye Aunt May, I'll be back later" I called into the house.
"Have fun." She called back as I stepped out and shut the door.
"Where to?" I asked.
"I thought we could get some Mexican food then take a walk through central park, that is if you don't mind that this is a date, if it does bother you then we can skip the walk." He rambled causing a smile to break out on my face.
"Wade it sounds like a great plan, and I don't mind that its a date sense you seem like a really sweet guy." He smiled, grabbed my hand and led me to the restaurant he picked out.
We had a really good time and I found out pretty quickly Wade's adorable love/obsession for chimichungas. After our meal Wade ended up paying even against my protesting, so I ended up just slipping the money for my meal into his back pocket with out his knowledge. We engaged in small talk during our walk to central park which to out surprise was fairly empty. "So Wade what do you do for a living?" I asked as we wandered around aimlessly holding hands.
"You're not gonna approve but you asked. I'm a mercenary for hire. basically I get paid to kill, kidnap, stalk, steal, ecteria." He said simply. He was right tho, I didn't approve but I had asked, plus I had no right to judge him or ask him to change professions.
"Oh." I replied "Well it's your life so I can't say anything." I said giving him a reassuring smile. He smiled back and squeezed my hand.
"Thanks, so how's school?" He asked leading me to a bench to sit.
"It's meh, classes are great and what not but, I don't know I guess it's just lonely now." I sighed. He pulled me closer to him.
"What if I stopped by during your lunch period and walked you home after school?" He asked.
"That would be nice." I said snuggling closer into his side, he wrapped his arm over my shoulder as I snaked my arm around his waist. We sat like that watching the sunset in a conferable silence. Once it set Wade walked me back home.
"Thanks for taking me out on this date Wade, I had a lot of fun." I said smiling like a fool.
"I had fun too Parker, maybe we could make this a regular thing?" He asked sheepishly.
"That would be nice." I said smiling. He leaned forward causing my heart to skip a beat.
"But I'm still paying for everything next time." He whispered into my ear slipping the money I had previously slipped him into my pocket. "I'll see you later then." He said with a smile and kissed my check.
"Yeah see you later" I said blushing and smiling bigger. He chuckled and walked away from the door step leaving even more butterflies in my stomach. I walked into the house and flopped down on to the couch with a dopey smile plastered to my face.
"Is that you Peter?" Aunt May called out from the kitchen.
"Yes it is Aunt May." I called back.
"How was your date?" She asked walking into the living room.
"It was really good, I'd say the best date I've ever had."
"Thats good Peter, I take it as you really like him."
I nodded my head rapidly. "Yeah I do, I want to go on a couple more dates with him before I introduce him to you and before I think about asking him to be my boyfriend."
"Just as long as he doesn't hurt you or take advantage of you"
I rolled by eyes " I know Aunt May, I'll be careful."
"Just making sure."
"Thanks. I'm going to go take a shower then go to bed, ok?" I asked getting off the couch and stretching. She nodded and I headed upstairs. Once I got to my room I emptied out the contents of my pockets, I smiled when I noticed a piece of lined paper mixed in with the money. I grabbed it and smiled bigger when I saw that it was Wade's phone number. Quickly I put it into my phone then took a quick shower. Once I got out I texted him 'hey a certain spider is going on patrol and he was wondering if some merc named Deadpool would care to join him' I hit send then pulled on my Spider-man costume and checked my phone again.
'sure thing, meet me on top of the library?' read Wade's text.
'sounds good, see you soon' I sent the headed out the window to the library.
I looked around and smiled when I found the merc. " Funny running into you here." I said walking up to him.
"Pfffffft I always go to the library after a wonderful date." He said smirking. I chuckled and gave him a hug.
" If we see any crimes, no killing anyone, please?" He wrapped his muscular arms around me.
"I promise that I won't kill anyone when I'm with you." He said kissing my forehead through our masks.
"Thanks" I smiled, "ready to go?" he nodded in response. We ended up going around the whole city looking for crime but we never found any so we headed back to the library till the sun started to rise. "I've had a lot of fun again" I said smiling.
"Me too." He said pulling me into a tight hug. "See you at lunch?" He asked.
"Of course." I said smiling. We then went our separate was.
I checked the time once I was back in my room. Great 45 minutes until school starts. I hopped in the shower quickly then got dressed, leaving 20 minutes to get school. I grabbed my skateboard and skated to school giving me just enough time to grab my stuff for class and send a text to wade asking if he could bring food when he comes. Classes went by quicker knowing that I would get to see Wade again soon. Finally the lunch bell rang and I headed across the street to where Wade texted saying he'd be. A smile spread across my face when I spotted Wade wearing the same red and black hoodie as yesterday. I sat down beside him on the bench. "Thanks Wade, how much do I owe you, and don't say nothing." I asked pulling a chimichunga out of the bag and smiled bigger, this man is getting me addicted to chimichungas now.
"Hmmm let's see... how about a kiss on our next date?" He asked, I rolled my eyes at him.
"I meant how much money but sure that sounds good." I said taking another bite of chimichunga. He gave me and smile then started eating his own chimichunga. I gulped down the last bite of mine. " So this Saturday do you, you know, want to go out on another date?" I asked trying to hide my nervousness, since this was my first time asking out another guy or a person in general. He smiled at me again.
"I would love to go on another date with you." He said taking my hand. I smiled again then checked the time.
"Crap I gotta get back to school, class starts soon." I said frowning slightly.
"Awe ok." He said standing up, pulling me up with him. "See you after school?" He asked. I nodded and gave him a smile then ran back to school.
Afternoon classes couldn't end fast enough, probably due to Gwen and MJ being in each class, plus I was missing Wade. Last period my phone buzzed signifying that I had a text, I had assumed that it was from wade but a frown formed on my face when I saw that it was Tony needing me to some and assist him in his lab. Well at least it's a longer walk with Wade. I smiled to myself at the thought of being able to spend more time with the merc. Class finally ended after the eternity of waiting that I was forced to endure. I rushed out of class and to my locker, put away the school supplies I no longer needed, grabbed my skateboard and coat then headed out to where Wade and I met for lunch. I smiled when I saw the now familiar hoodie. "Hey wade." I said waling up to him and slipping my hand into his.
"Hey." He said smiling.
"Do you mind walking me to work instead of home?" I asked.
"Of course." He said leaning down to kiss my check. I smiled as he walked me to Stark tower. "Hey peter." Wade said breaking the comfortable silence.
"Yeah?"
"I don't think we should tell Tony about us hanging out and going on dates and what not, it could go to his head and he'd start a match making business."
"Tony with a match making service would be terrifying, so of course we're not going to tell him." I replied laughing slightly. Wade wrapped an arm around my small waist pulling me closer to his side.
"You smell good." He muttered smelling my hair.
"Most of that would be idiotic class mates spraying perfume and cologne everywhere." I said simply earning a chuckle from the mercenary.
"Yeah and I smell like greasy Mexican food, blood, and gun powder."
"Yeah but that's all you Wade, and it suits you." I said with a chuckle. We continued walking in silence enjoying each others company until we got to Tony's block. " I guess this is where we part." I said sadly looking at my shoes.
"How about once your done work we get some food then I'll walk you back home." Wade said lifting my head back up causing me to give him a small smile.
"That would be nice, I'll text you one I'm done and we'll meet back here"
"Sounds good, see you soon Parker." He said kissing my check. I smiled and walked away never feeling his eyes leave me until I entered Stark tower.
I headed to the elevator then went up to the floor where Tony's lab was, entered my code then walked in still unimpressed that he had the nerve to call me in after he hired some one to stalk me. I smiled slightly at the thought of Wade but quickly wiped it off my face remembering that I was mad at Tony. "Tony I'm here." I called out unsure of where my boss was hiding.
"Over here." He called out from where he usually works on his suits. I headed over there wondering what Tony had called me in for.
"What do you need me to do?" I asked.
"Look I'm sorry I hired Deadpool to stalk you Peter, and I'm terrible at apologizing so I thought I'd build you a suit, but I can't figure out how to design it's aesthetics to what you would like and your whole spidey style." He said rambling. The billionaire obviously felt bad for hiring Wade.
I smiled slightly. "Thanks Tony, I'll sketch something up right now." I said heading over to my work station.
"Actually Pete you can work on it at home then bring it in once your done."
"Really?" I asked my smile growing wider, Tony nodded in response. I gave him a thanks then headed back downstairs texting Wade that it was a social call rather then a business call.
I walked over to where me and Wade had parted ways shoving my hands into my pockets looking around for the taller man. I sighed not spotting him any where and started walking back home with my head down. It was working pretty well and I hadn't walked into anything until I of course had to crash into another person. "Sorry." I muttered then looked up to see the familiar red and black hoodie that belongs to Wade. "Wade!" I shouted hugging him tightly since I had thought he had ditched me. He wrapped his arms around me.
"Hey sorry I'm late I wanted to get you something." He said letting me go and handed me a bouquet of roses. I felt my face redden at the sweet gesture.
"Awe thank you Wade." I said pulling him into another hug. He smiled and wrapped his arms around me.
"So I was thinking that I would cook supper for us at my place, if thats ok with you and your Aunt."
"I'll ask her if she minds." I said pulling out my phone and dialed her number. "Hey Aunt May, Wade invited me over to supper at his place, is it ok with you if I accept his invite?" I asked praying she would say yes.
"Only if your good and promise to have fun." Her voice said over the phone. I smiled and told that I would, I also told her thanks and bye for now then hung up.
"She says I can." I said causing Wade to smile, link arms with me and started walking towards his neighbourhood.
