Requested by bharrisonnn: Ricky tries to flirt with Y/N again, and Peter goes all protective boyfriend over it.

Sunlight streamed into Peter's hotel room, the beautiful Prague sun drowning us in light as my body started to wake up from sleep. My eyes fluttered open slowly but surely, my heart immediately jumping in my chest at the first thing that they saw. The first thing being Peter's still sleeping form, the boy facing me and holding me with his arm over my waist as quiet snores left his slightly parted lips. I couldn't help but smile and bite my lip at the just perfect sight. After Peter had asked me out on the bridge last night, we'd gone back to his room to watch a movie, and had ended up talking into the early hours of this morning. I was guessing that we'd fallen asleep doing that, considering that we were both in our clothes from last night, and the simply gorgeous black dahlia necklace that Peter had given me was still icy against my neck. I still couldn't quite believe that the boy lying next to me was now my boyfriend. After all, we'd known each other for four years now, meaning that I'd been hopelessly in love with him for four years, and all of that time had been telling myself that he wouldn't possibly feel the same way. Turned out that he did, and I had just robbed myself of four years of relationship with him. That didn't matter now, though. What mattered was that regardless of that, we were here. We were finally here. I snapped back out of my own head as Peter started to move slightly, quiet groans of sleep leaving his lips as he started to wake up. I bit my lip and flicked my eyes over his face, his arm still hung casually over my waist as his beautiful eyes fluttered open. His eyebrows furrowed, the boy still waking up as his chocolate gaze finally landed on me. A slight smile curled onto his lips.

"Morning, angel." He spoke in a quiet raspy voice, both the sound and the nickname making my heart flip in my chest as his eyes flicked over my face.

"Hey." I whispered back.

"Did you sleep okay?" He asked, a calm aura having taken over the room as we just lay in Peter's bed and contently looked at each other.

"Slept like a baby. What about you?" I replied.

"Slept amazingly with you in my arms." He admitted. My heart fluttered again at his words, my gaze flicking between his lips and his eyes as he did the same to me.

"I still can't believe that you actually asked me out. I've waited for so long for you to ask me that this feels like a dream." I chuckled and shook my head.

"Trust me, babe, it feels like a dream to me too." He smiled, making me giggle and bite my lip.

"Well, it'll feel even more like one in a second." I flirted, making his smile start to dip slightly as I leant in. I kissed him softly, Peter returning it immediately and pulling me closer with his hand on my waist. I raised my hand to hold his face, both of us sinking instantly into the intimate moment. I couldn't help but smile against his lips, making him smirk as he gently pushed me down onto the bed so that he was hovering over me. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on his door, making us break the kiss.

"Rise and shine, love birds, Mr Harrington wants to see us all in five minutes!" MJ's muffled voice sounded through the door.

"Dammit." Peter mumbled, making me smirk and look at him as he rolled off of me and we both sat up.

"Sorry, I told her that I was spending the night here so that she wouldn't get worried when she knocked on my door and didn't get a response. And you don't worry either, you'll have plenty more chances back at home to take what we were just doing...further." I flirted.

"God, I hope so." He scoffed and shook his head, making me laugh as we both got up from his bed and started to grab our stuff.

Peter and I walked through the streets of Prague, our hands joined and fingers intertwined as we explored the beautiful city together.

"Aw, babe, look at these." Peter chuckled as he gently pulled me by our joined hands to the start of the market, his eyes flicking over the beautiful and intricate masks that the first stall was selling.

"Oh my god, they're gorgeous. This one could replace your current mask." I teased as I grabbed a sparkly red and blue one and held it up to Peter's face.

"Ha ha, so funny." He chuckled and shook his head.

"Oh, I know." I smiled and nodded, making him smirk as he opened his wallet.

"Shit, I don't have any cash. Do you take card?" He asked the woman selling the masks.

"Cash only." She shook her head.

"Fuck, okay, um...okay, there's an ATM over there, I'll be right back, babe." He nodded.

"Fine, yeah, I'll be right here." I reassured. He nodded again and kissed my cheek, making me smile and let my heart flutter with butterflies at the loving action before he headed towards the ATM and out of my sight. I continued to look at the array of colourful masks, each one more beaded and gorgeous than the last.

"Y/N, hey." My eyes widened as Ricky curled his arm around my waist.

"U-um, hey, Ricky." I chuckled awkwardly, my body moving out of his arm and away from him as I spoke.

"What was up with last night, huh? I thought that it would be cool to hang out, go for a walk, fuck Mr Harrington's curfew." He smirked.

"I, um, I didn't want to get caught, a-and I had some work to do, so I couldn't." I lied with a shrug.

"Work? Babe, we're on vacation." He teased and shook his head, making me scoff at him as he gently tapped my nose with his finger. As if I was a fucking child.

"We still have school work, Ricky." I nodded and smiled sarcastically.

"Fine, whatever, how about tonight, then? It's the last night that we have in Prague, may as well make the most of it." He smirked as he reached his arm out to try and curl it around my waist again, but I once again dodged it by taking a step back.

"I'm sorry, but I have plans." I stated. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Oh, yeah? With who?" He scoffed.

"Me." I sighed in relief as I finally felt Peter's arm curl around my waist instead of Ricky's, my boyfriend appearing next to me as he clenched his jaw at the other boy. I tried not to smirk as his eyes widened.

"Tell me that you didn't cancel on me for Parker, of all fucking people." Ricky spat as he looked at Peter.

"Dude, when are you going to get the hint that she's just not interested?" Peter scoffed, me just watching the interaction as I let Peter handle this. I couldn't lie, it was really attractive seeing him go all protective over me, and so I'd happily let him take over.

"And how the fuck would you know that?" Ricky snapped.

"Maybe because she's my girlfriend." Peter nodded. I tried not to smirk as Ricky's eyes widened again, his mouth falling open as he looked at me.

"What?! Since when?!" He exclaimed.

"Since last night. When we hung out after curfew." I stated with a nod. Ricky's eyes widened further.

"Now do you believe that she's not interested?" Peter nodded, making me smirk and bite my lip as his hand gently massaged my waist.

"Whatever. Your fucking loss, babe." He spat, making me roll my eyes as he stormed off and disappeared into the crowd.

"I'm sorry about that, Pete." I sighed as I looked up at him.

"It's okay, angel, I knew the second that I saw him heading over to you that he was going to cause a problem. You okay, though?" He checked, making my heart flutter in my chest as he gently cupped my face and made me look up at him.

"I'm fine, he didn't do anything. Nevertheless, though, I appreciate you defending me. Thank you." I nodded.

"Of course. Now, let's buy that mask." He smiled, making me return it and bite my lip as he took my hand again and gave the vendor the money before picking up the red and blue mask.

"Flight A398GMDJ94 to New York Airport, now boarding." The intercom in the airport spoke, Peter and I's hands joined as we walked down the tunnel that connected the plane to the airport. We got on, the quiet cabin already filling up as we tried to find our seats.

"Our seats are here, Pete." I nodded as I pointed to the aisle.

"I know, but there's not enough room in the overhead for my bag. Fuck, I'm going to have to go further down." He sighed before moving down the cabin to try and find an overhead locker that wasn't full. I sat down with my backpack in between my legs, my phone in my hands as I looked down at it. I looked back up as I felt someone sit down next to me, my eyes widening as it once again wasn't Peter.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." I scoffed and shook my head as Ricky sat down next to me.

"I just want to know why, Y/N. I mean, come on, you have two guys after you, and you pick the fucking nobody nerd who no one gives a shit about, over the nice and popular guy who actually likes you?" He scoffed. I raised my eyebrows at him, my mind filling with anger at his fucking awful words.

"Sorry, you did not just call yourself a nice guy after calling my boyfriend a fucking nobody nerd." I spat.

"Come on, Y/N, just give me a chance, you're going to regret it if you don't." He insisted.

"See, I don't think that I will." I shook my head.

"Ahem." Ricky looked up as Peter appeared back next to us, my boyfriend's jaw clenched and him just looking very pissed off overall as he stared at Ricky.

"You're in my seat." He nodded.

"What will you do about it, Parker?" Ricky spat, making me roll my eyes at how hopelessly this guy was trying and failing as he stood up and squared up to Peter.

"You don't want to know." Peter shook his head.

"Ricky, your seat is over here, that's Peter's seat!" Mr Harrington called.

"You heard him. Run along." Peter nodded as he continued to stare Ricky down with a clenched jaw.

"This isn't over." Ricky scoffed and shook his head as he started to move to the seat that he'd been allocated.

"Yes, it is!" I called after him as Peter sat down.

"He doesn't fucking give up, does me?" Peter scoffed and shook his head as he placed his hand on my thigh.

"No, but that's okay, because I have you, and you'll protect me." I smiled.

"That I will, angel, that I will." He returned, making me bite my lip as I leant down and rested my head on his shoulder. My smile only widened as I felt him kiss my head, Peter and I cuddling up together for what was going to be a very long, but very love-filled flight. And I couldn't wait.
