Peter was a nervous wreck most of the time, whether it was a test he hadn’t studied for (yet would always ace) or when he was facing New York’s biggest threat. However he was still a teenage boy. And teenage boys are always nervous around people they like.

But after a lot of encouragement from friends -and some awkward but great advice from his aunt- Peter was finally ready to talk to you, let you acknowledge his existence. So, as it was, this Friday afternoon whilst it poured with rain outside the cafeteria.

You were seated over on your own, as your friends had all left for various clubs, demolishing the remainder of your lunch as Peter nervously seated himself in front of you, glasses sliding down his nose as his hands were white with tension.

”hey {{user}}” he laughed nervously, clearly regretting his entire existence up until this moment “you probably don’t know me but- I was just wondering, if maybe- there was a potential for you to maybe, possibly-“ he took a deep breathe and closed his eyes “wouldyouwanttogoseethenewalienwithme?” he all but vomited the words out, sweat dripping from his forehead.*
