(Can we always be this close, forever and ever? The rest of the title since it's too long.)

It's Friday! Meaning it's Mr. Stark's bachelor party, Peter couldn't believe he was invited to his first wedding. This is a huge deal! He's never been to a wedding but he's heard from May that they can be romantic but also stressful. To be honest he only cared about the romantic part, he looked up wedding receptions online.

And MJ got permission from her mom so she was able to come so it makes it ten times better.

He absolutely loved the beautiful scenery, a lot of them were too extra, he was a simple guy. He liked the small things like the rose petals thrown by the flower girl, the candle lit aesthetic, it looked amazing. He packed an overnight bag and Happy picked him up later that evening.

He arrived at Tony's house and got inside being greeted by Tony and some of his friends as they headed to the living room. "Alright everyone's here, Peter these are my friends Rhodey, Steve, Clint, Coulson, T'challa, and James but we call him Bucky and lastly Harley who's your age and Happy." Tony introduced.

Peter shyly waved, "Hi everyone." He said. The adults all said hello and Peter was invited to come and sit down and Tony made a statement. "Let's get this party started, keep it PG gentlemen. We have minors present." He said.

And the festivities began Tony ordered food and they watched movies that were age appropriate for Peter and had fun. Now Peter was even more excited about the wedding. While the guys were picking out a new movie Peter stepped away and decided to text MJ.

Parker 😎: Hey, what are you guys up to?

MJ arrived at another house Tony owned and was greeted by Pepper who let her in and welcomed her with open arms. She led them both to the backyard where there were a bunch of women she only recognized May who saw her and smiled.

Pepper introduced MJ to her friends, "Ladies, this is MJ, MJ these are my friends. Natasha, Okoye, Wanda, Hope, Carol, Valerie but we call her Val, Maria, and Shuri who is actually yours and Peter's age." She said.

(Okay to not confuse people Valerie stands for Valkyrie, since this is an AU and no one is a superhero, I changed up the name of Valkyrie's character.)

"And you obviously know May, alright everyone let the festivities get started. And since we have two young kids here we're keeping it nice and PG." Pepper told her friends.

MJ said hello to everyone and gravitated to Shuri, she's her age and will most likely keep her and MJ entertained. They definitely don't want to be sucked into their conversation; they'd rather talk about science than husbands and all that jazz.

This was also MJ's second wedding, she went to her Aunt Kyra's wedding two years ago. It was fun, but she really didn't feel like talking to her family members she hadn't seen since she was an infant. If she doesn't remember you don't come and start small talk. (MJ is me.)

They continued their night of fun, until MJ heard her phone ding. She checked it and saw it was Peter, she then started texting him back.

Parker 😎: Hey, what are you guys doing?

MJ 📚: Hey Parker, I'm just talking to Shuri.

Parker 😎: Oh! Tell her I said hello.

MJ 📚: She says hello Pete, what are you guys doing?

Parker 😎: We're just watching movies and eating food, gotta go to sleep soon.

MJ 📚: Yeah, same, I can't wait for tomorrow.

Parker 😎: This is actually my first wedding.

MJ 📚: This is my second.

Parker 😎: You've been to a wedding before? Why am I only hearing about this now! What the heck!

MJ 📚: Yeah, it was my aunt's two years ago, but I'm betting this one will be a lot more fun.

Parker 😎: Yeah probably, also I gotta go to sleep now so I'll see you tomorrow!

MJ 📚: Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight Peter.

Parker 😎: Goodnight MJ

MJ got up and Pepper led her to a room she and Shuri were going to share. She's really excited about the wedding tomorrow. I wonder what Peter looks like in a tuxedo? She thought.

She got ready for bed and then went to sleep, she's definitely going to be on a tight schedule tomorrow but she's happy but seeing Peter in a tux will make the day even better.
