30 - First Dates

    She sat down after the last bowl, watching as Peter went up to play his final set of pins. He turned around to smile, noticing her staring down at him. He looked up and down at himself.    

    "Are you staring at my butt?" he asked her.

    She nodded without hesitation. "You have a cute butt. Can I not stare?"

    "Y-you can, I've just never seen anyone so interested in my behind."

    "Well, now you have someone, and I'm not going anywhere." She smiled as he turned back around, bowling a perfect strike. "I don't get how you're so good a bowling, even with the Peter Tingle."

    He walked back over and sat next to her, wrapping an arm around her as she leaned into his side. "Aunt May and I used to go a lot when I was in middle school. That was before I met Ned."

    She nodded as they watched the screen above the lane tally up their scores, Peter being in the lead by no small number. "Congratulations, you won." She said, turning her head to face him.

    He turned his head as well. "What do I get for winning?" Without a second thought, Cassie leaned forward and gave him a peck on the lips. When she pulled away, she saw the shock on his face. "Just a peck? Wow, I thought I deserved more than that."

    "Just a peck for now," she clarified. "I don't wanna disturb people with PDA."

    Peter shrugged his shoulders. "A little PDA never hurt anybody."

    Cassie giggled at his attempt to convince her for another kiss. Lucky for him, she couldn't say no. She leaned in again, pressing another kiss firm against his lips. She felt his hand around her shoulder tighten on her for a moment before she pulled away suddenly.

    "What that enough PDA for you?" she asked.

    Peter's face was still in shock. It was the first time anyone had ever done that to him and he still couldn't believe it had happened - he still couldn't believe he was on a date. "Y-yep.. yeah that was good," he said.

    She laughed at his surprised face, leaning back into his side, letting the sounds of the bowling alley around them fill the air.

    When she stepped back into the living room late that night, she didn't expect anyone to be awake. But as she closed the portal behind her, she saw a light still on near the couch. Peering over, she saw Natasha and Yelena chatting before noticing she had entered the room.

    "Cassie!" Natasha exclaimed as she noticed her. "This is my sister, Yelena. She came over for dinner after you left."

    "Ah the famous little traveler! So glad to meet you," Yelena said, standing up and firmly shaking her hand as Cassie walked over to them.    

    "Nice to meet you two," Cassie replied, trying not to show the absolute starstruck look on her face. She loved Florence Pugh and Yelena had already become one of her favorite characters in the very few things she had appeared in. "What are you two still doing up?"

    "The little man with the goatee asked us to make sure no boys were coming home with you."

    "Tony," Nat clarified, "Just wanted to make sure you got home okay... and that Peter wasn't spending the night but we figured he wouldn't be coming back with you."

    Cassie rolled her eyes. "He can be too much sometimes... anyways, how was dinner?"

    "It was fine," Nat dismissed immediately. "We wanna know how your date went!"
