Summary: where Peter and Harley are secretly a thing.

Peter was so distracted and jumpy that weekend. The Avengers had all noticed, but not even Natasha could figure out what was going on with him —maybe because he had sort of learned how to lie to her—, and they were growing a little concerned when Peter wasn't paying much attention to the movie playing in front of him —Star fricking Wars—.

"Here comes Pete's favorite part." said Wanda, trying to unsuccessfully call the kid's attention.

They shared confused looks at the fact that Peter was still staring at the floor.

"Kid," began Tony, who was sitting next to him "you alright?"

Peter finally looked at him and smiled.

"I am, Mr. Stark. In fact, I've never been better." he answered, grinning like a little kid, and to the avengers, he was.

"Oh, really? And why is that?"

Peter looked back at the floor, the smile not leaving his face. He didn't answer.

"You're not going to answer?" Steve asked.

"Not yet."

Tony let out a surprised laugh and looked at his teammates to see if they had heard the same thing. And they did.

"Actually, I gotta get going, tomorrow's Monday and I still need to finish a bunch of homework and a group project with Ned and MJ." he began to stand up and walk towards his room where his backpack was.

"We can help" Bruce interrupted his walk, still concerned for the kid "There's nothing we can't do."

"Oh, that's alright Dr. Banner, I don't need help, I just need time to finish it." he denied.

"Well, then you could stay for a little while longer, we just had lunch." Nat said.

"I'm meeting up with Ned and MJ at my place, we're finishing the homework together and we usually get a little distracted so we need the extra time." he smiled awkwardly and to avoid more interruptions, simply ran to his room to get his backpack.

When he walked back into the living room to kiss everyone's cheek, they kept on asking questions that he didn't answer but just smiled politely at.

"Will you come over tomorrow after school?" asked Pepper to which Peter answered showing her a thumbs up before the elevator doors closed in front of his face.

"What a weird fucking kid." Clint said, and even Steve agreed.

Peter wasn't lying though, he was meeting Ned and MJ at Ned's house, but not until another 3 hours and they were most certainly not working on any homework.

He arrived at his and May's apartment, taking his phone out of his pocket and answering the phone call while also smiling at his aunt, who kissed his cheek and sat on the couch.

"Hi, Harls." he greeted as he entered his room and sat on his bed.

"Hey, darlin'." the boy answered.

They met through MJ, who travelled to Tennessee with her family a year ago, on last summer break. She met this super chill dude who reminded her a little bit of Peter, only a little more sarcastic. They bonded over being attracted to the same gender. So when Peter found out that MJ had a friend who wasn't him or Ned, he demanded to meet him. So they started texting and quickly became friends.

Eventually, Harley found out about Peter being Spiderman and found it hilarious that he was like a son to Tony. They bonded over making jokes about the old guy, and they also decided that they wouldn't tell Tony about the fact that they were now friends, just to mess with him and avoid all the questions he'd ask both.

Harley was still in contact with Tony, they called each other every other week and got updated on their respective lives. Harley thought of Tony as his cool uncle, and Tony was still grateful for having met the kid all those years ago.

Now going back to Harley and Peter, it was obvious that they liked each other, but they hadn't met face to face yet, and neither of them wanted to confess their feelings over the phone even though Peter had told MJ and Harley had texted MJ.

So when Peter found out that Harley would be spending that week at his uncle's house in New York, he almost peed his pants. Of course he wouldn't admit it.

Harley was arriving that same Sunday, which is why Peter spent the entire weekend anxiously asking himself if he was ready to tell Harley how he felt about him. So was Harley.

"Are you here yet?" Peter asked, biting his lip.

"I still got a good 20 minutes until I arrive at my uncle's house, but we made a stop because my sister had to pee." they both laughed "So, I was wondering, is it okay if I stop by at your apartment before going to Ned's."

Peter opened his eyes wide.

"O-of course! I, I mean, huh, as long as you're okay with walking to Ned's, because May's leaving for her shift at the hospital in like 10 minutes."

"That gives me more time with you, I think it's perfect."

Oh, Peter was flushing, almost looking like a tomato.

"Okay, uhm, then, just, uh," fuck he was an nervous mess now "just let me know when you're here."

Harley chuckled over the phone, Peter was so damn cute.

"Of course, darlin'. Or I could just knock on your door."

"Yeah, okay." he bit his lip again "Until then."

"Bye, sweetheart."

Oh fuck, Peter really wanted to scream with excitement, but he opted for calling Ned instead.

"Honey" May said as she stood at the door causing Peter to look up at her "I'm leaving now, are you still going to Ned's later?"

"Yes, May. Oh, also, a friend is coming over in a bit and we'll go to Ned's together."

May looked a bit surprised but also excited.

"Is Harley here already?" she asked, because of course she knew about Harley.

"Yeah, I mean, almost."

"Alright, honey. You two be careful, then." she winked at him, and he blushed again.

"Right..." he shot her an amused look as she left.

As soon as she did, Peter jumped into the shower. God, he wanted everything to be perfect because he was finally meeting Harley.

He got out of the shower and did everything he had to do, but the real trouble came when he was about to get dressed. That's what MJ could help him with —sort of—, since she was good at telling him wether he looked like an idiot or an okay guy.

He ended up wearing a tight pair of black jeans that according to Ned, made his ass look nice, and a blue shirt with short sleeves, because MJ said he had good looking arms.

He walked to living room with his phone in hand and jumped onto the kitchen counter where he could stare at the door.

His heart stopped the second he heard light footsteps walking out of the elevator and through the hallway before actually stopping in front of his door. He knew it was Harley, but he didn't know why he wasn't knocking. Maybe he wanted to text him first? Or call? Or maybe he was having second thoughts about Peter and decided that they were better off as online friends?

Peter took a deep breath and opened the door in the blink of an eye. There he was, a tall blondish boy, wearing a black shirt and a pair of blue jeans. His big blue eyes were staring at Peter, still a little surprised.

"How did you...?"

"Enhanced hearing." Peter replied, awkwardly.

Harley took a deep, shaky breath and smiled, opening his arms.

"Well, come give me a hug, darlin', it's nice to finally meet you."

Peter started breathing again, he didn't know he had stopped, and walked those two steps that were keeping him away from the boy he liked.

It didn't feel real. Peter had thought about the moment he got to meet Harley so many times that, for a second, he made himself believe that he was imagining all of this, so he held on tighter. It was freaking real.

They hugged  for about a whole ass minute until they broke apart and stared at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Wanna come in?"

"Yes."

They both walked into Peter's apartment, and the younger boy offered to sit on the couch, so they walked over to it and sat next to each other.

Peter was shorter than Harley had imagined, and now he couldn't stop imagining how nice it would be to hug him from behind and be able to rest his head on Peter's.

"I can't believe you're really here." Peter said "I mean, we've talked about it so many times, it doesn't feel real."

Harley chuckled at him, holding out a hand for Peter to take in his, which he did, and squeezed it tight.

"I know, darlin', but it's real, I'm here, and I would like another hug."

Peter laughed and hugged him again, this time feeling much more confident.

"God, I've been dreaming of holding you like this for a while now." Harley confessed, a little shyly, but not showing it.

They broke the hug again, but Peter didn't back away.

"Really?"

Harley stared at Peter for a couple of seconds, taking in every inch of his face, because he was finally right in front of him.

"Really."

Peter blushed and went to sit a bit further away, but Harley spoke up again.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that" Peter looked at him, a bit confused "I just didn't want to do it over the phone because it'd be a little awkward and stuff."

Nope, Peter was having some trouble connecting the dots. Because he was Peter Parker and he would never even imagine that Harley could have for him the same feelings that Peter had for him.

"What?"

Harley looked down at Peter's lips, and it didn't take him much longer to crash his mouth with Peter's.

So much for the talking, huh.

It was a quick kiss, but Peter could swear that the entire world stayed quiet for him to take it all in. Harley looked at him, who was blushing up to his ears.

"I like you." Harley said to a still surprised, and a little shocked, Peter "I mean, really really like you."

Peter let out a sigh of relief. Well, now, that was quick.

"Oh, thank God." Peter chuckled until he realized that Harley had a confused look on his face "Oh! I mean that I, well, I really like you too."

They both laughed at that.

"So... do you..?" Harley began, only to be interrupted by Peter.

"Yeah"

And then they kissed again. For a while, actually. I mean, you know, they made out.

Fast forward a couple of days later, it was not Thursday, or as Peter would say, another day of the best week ever.
Yes, Harley and Peter have been hanging out and making out in every possible place. You know, hormonal teenagers and stuff.

Peter was now with the Avengers, who still had no idea of what was going on with him, except for Natasha who began to figure it out. He knew Harley was coming to pick him up in a while, they were having dinner with Ned and MJ in a pizza place that was close to the tower. They figured Harley would surprise Tony while at it.

"Peter, wanna pick a movie?" Wanda offered.

Peter looked up from his phone at the Avengers who were beginning to take place in different couches to watch a movie. He put his phone away and awkwardly smiled.

"No, thanks. I'm leaving soon, meeting up with my friends."

"What are you guys doing?" Steve asked.

Peter sat on the couch next to Clint, who immediately put his legs on Peter's lap and rested his head on Natasha's.

"We're having dinner at this really nice pizza place."

"Oohh, is it a special occasion?" Pepper asked.

Peter blushed. Fuck, he blushed.

"A friend's spending the week here so we're all hanging out together and stuff, I could now be a professional tour guide for the city of New York, I swear." he smiled, scratching the back of his neck and hoping they could ignore his blushing.

"Oh!" Sam said "He blushing!"

"No, I'm not" he tried to defend himself.

"Is there a girl we don't know about?" Nat asked.

"No..."

"A boy, then?"

"Oh my God." Peter covered his face with both of his hands, refusing to answer any more questions. Both him and Harley had planned on telling Tony together, but he was about to screw that up.

"We wanna know, Pete. Pleeaaaaasee" Wanda tried.

Peter sighed and looked at his family, still blushing like crazy, he stared at Tony for two seconds and then looked at the floor.

"He's picking me up downstairs in a bit."

"OH MY GOD." Clint exclaimed, standing up and shaking Peter "YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND, GUYS" he turned to face the others "HE HAS A BOYFRIEND."

They all started to speak at the same time, some excited, some still a little surprised, and others —Natasha— suspicious.

"What's his name, huh? God, I can't believe you already have a boyfriend, Jesus christ, I'm actually not sure I'm ready for this." Tony said.

"I'm not telling you his name so that you can creep up on him." he smiled and the rest groaned.

"How about he picks you up here instead of downstairs? At least we'll get to meet him personally!" Pepper suggested.

"That's even worse!"

"Come on." Steve said, begging.

Peter's phone buzzed in his pocket, so he took it out to check Harley's message letting him know he was downstairs already.

"Alright, he's here. No peaking! FRIDAY, take care of that." Peter said.

"FRIDAY, let Peter's friend come up." Tony said.

"Yes, boss."

Peter let out a shaky breath and stood up , walking towards the elevator, where his boyfriend was about to come out from. The Avengers were all staring at him, and he was staring back at them awkwardly.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Peter got inside, stopping Harley from coming out.

"That's cheating!" someone, probably Clint, yelled behind him.

"I'm nervous." Peter said, holding Harley's hand "They've been asking so many questions."

"It'll be fine, the old man might have a heart attack or something, but it'll be fine, darlin', promise."

Harley kissed Peter's nose, and together they walked out of the elevator.

The Avengers smiled at them holding hands, except for Tony.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me."

His teammates looked at him with confusion on their faces while the teenagers smiled as they walked closer to the couch and Tony stood up.

"Hey, old man." Harley greeted as Tony hugged him tight.

"I'm a little confused" Bucky said.

Tony pulled Peter into the hug too.

"My boys, I can't believe this shit."

Tony let go of the two boys and looked at the Avengers.

"They're doing this on purpose, you know. They want me dead."

Harley and Peter laughed.

"I'm Harley Keener, it's nice to meet all of you." he said looking at the Avengers.

"Oh!" Pepper said "Tony has told me about you, you're that kid from Tennessee."

"Yeah, I am." he said as he held Peter's hand again.

"Please, sit." Steve said and they did.

"So, what the hell are you doing here?" Tony asked, sitting next to Harley on the couch.

"I came to stay with my uncle for the week, although I've mostly been with Pete."

"Since when do you know each other?" asked Clint.

"I met Tony around... 5 or 6 years ago, and I met Peter a year ago." he answered.

"Both Harley and Peter are annoying geniuses, no wonder they ended up together. Which, by the way, how did that happen?"

"MJ introduced us." Peter answered.

Tony stared at their intertwined hands as he whispered: "I'm gonna have to do something about that girl."
