How It Started{starker}

Chapter twenty-four:

Third POV:

Peter was nervous. His skin was tingiling and he his heart beat was louder than ever, ringing in his ears. This was something he knew was coming but it didn't make it any easier.

The Two were standing in the living room. Just staring. Peter knew he had to make the first sign of movement yet he was frozen. If this was an optional decision about wither he could never tell Tony about how hard he fell for the man and stay in silent pain for the rest of his years than be in this moment. He would chose the first option.

That couldn't happen obviously. So he took that single slither of courage he still has and asked Tony to sit with him on the couch which he simply nodded to.

Tony on the other hand , was feeling slightly amused. Not in a bad way or anything. Just that he could see how nervous Peter was and thought it was cute , charming per say.

It had been maybe fourty-five seconds ? Peter's palms were sweating like crazy and Tony was calm as ever. Peter took a deep breath and had a mini pep talk with him self." cmon parker,  you can do this , you have only waited like a bigizilon years , no bigie."

"so , Mr.stark , Tony,  Anthony, I need to tell you something which you know since I already told you that and that's why we are here. sitting here and just sitting here because I need to tell you which oh don't worry I'm getting there."

Peter had said in a ramble , nothing new. His nerves were getting the best of him. Now it had just hit him that it may not be the best idea to tell him. What if he hates you? what if he kicks you out? What if-

"Kid , you don't need to be so nervous.  I can practically see your brain going into overheat. Just take a minute."

That helped tremendously, but the genius could never know that.

Peter looked at Tony. Tony , this man with all his flaws and insecurities that never even stood out to Peter. In Peter's eyes he was all he could ask for even with his 'insecurities'.He knew he has to spit it out eventually. it was just so hard for no reason. If Peter knew that telling someone you love them would be so hard he would never have fell in love in the first place. yeah cause that's an option.

" Now before you say anything let me say everything. If you are uncomfortable or , or hate me and stuff that's fine that's your decision.I just really hope you dont."

Peter tried to end it with a friendly smile but it was more of a forced one. Tony never answered , he just stared. Afraid if he said anything Peter wouldn't contunie  , so he kept his mouth shut.

"Mr- Tony , I have no idea how to say this. Honestly i don't know how it happened , one day it just hit me. How easily your hands move when your tinkering with things in your lab. When your concentrated and your eyebrows knit together and your mouth opens slightly. When you randomly go buy things you don't need at any time of the week just because you feel like it. When you smile , oh when you smile it's so warming. Like everything bad just pauses and your smile holds everything captive. There are so many things that I could list about you Tony that just make me swell and swoon but we would be here a while. what I'm Tryng to say Mr Anthony Edward stark is that I love you. I love you so much it drives me insane. I cannot put into words how much I love you and I don't think my heart can physically take not telling you any longer so...yeah."

silence.

Peter was panting slightly after his confession. His mind was blank and racing at the same time. He could hear his heartbeat and Tony's.  How he was thankfull about his heightened ability. Tony's heart was racing. In hopefully a good way , Peter thought.

Tony. Tony was blank. He was slowly taking in everything Peter had said to him. letting it all sink in. The man hasn't blinked.

"say it again"

Peter , was confused. say what? the whole thing?

"what? you know that took alot of time-"

" No , say it again"

oh.

"I love you"

Tony grabbed Peter by the back of his neck and kissed him. hard. right on the lips. Peter was shocked for a second , he didn't move. When it finally registered in his head what was happening he put his arms around Tony's shoulders and kissed him back with just as much force.

The boys forget how to breathe. Too consumed in each other to remember.  After they realised they had to pull apart , they did for atleast three seconds before they dove in again.

Peter slightly moaned at the feeling of Tony's tounge inside his mouth. It was a feeling he had never felt before even with all his senses. His spine was tingling and on fire as Tony's hands roamed him. Their hands just grasping at anything they could feel. With the slight adjust of Peter being stronger than Tony , Tony had ended up with his back on the couch with Peter's legs at each side of his hips.

Nothing too serious was going to happen. They both knew that but that didn't mean they couldnt consume this moment for all its worth.

Tony pulled Peter's neck lighty away from his face so he could start kissing his neck. His right hand on Peter's lower back , his left on his neck along with his mouth. Peter's hands were all over Tony. Mainly in his hair , gripping when Tony would nibble and slightly bite his neck. Mark's which would definitely show tomorrow but they did not care in the slightest.

Once Tony was satisfied with his art he went straight back to kissing Peter. They made out for a couple mote minutes before they both parted. Tony sat up with Peter still in his lap and his arms around his waist. The last held eye contact as they tried to make sence of all this. Peter still wasn't sure if Tony felt as strongly as he did. Atleast he knew that Tony liked him back , you don't normally make out with people like that if you don't like them right?

"I love you too"

there is was.
