"Wait, are you like telling me you are now together? as if... boyfriend and girlfriend?" Ned exclaims well, practically shouting

"hey... shhh, want to tell it to the whole cafeteria?" Peter blushes beside me

"I think they didn't hear you in Asgard..." I mutter and Peter giggles munching his food

"I mean, yes! this is a huge deal guys!" he starts eating his food

I smirk and start eating my lunch. I move my hand to Peter's under the table, he looks at me and smiles squeezing my hand lightly. I slowly turn my gaze to my food but catch Ned with an "awww" expression at us. 

"I'm so your fan number one!" he cheers

I finish changing in the lockers and I walk out to the gym. I catch the pair seated in the bleachers talking about something and make my way towards them. I slump in front of them ignoring Peter's gaze at me. Coach Wilson starts instructing us the several activities and we begin moving to the mats. A body jumps to the floor in front of me and I step back.

"Want to be my partner?" Peter tugs down his blue shirt and I nod

"definitely"

"oh, don't worry about me... I don't have a problem being the third wheel here" Ned sways to the mats and jerks his head for us to follow him

The normal workout. 20-second plank, some situps and then crunches. I feel how my cheeks start feeling hot and a light sensation of sweat in my back starts forming. After some minutes I lose count of how many crunches I've done. My heart rate increasing and I could even hear the 'bom' 'bom' bom' throughout my shirt.  Ok, I guess I need to rest... I lay my back against the mat feeling the tensed muscles in my abdomen stretch, I let out a sigh trying to even my breathing. I spin my head to my right seeing Ned stretching to touch the tip of his feet and then at Peter who stops mid a crunch and turns to me with a frown.

"everything's ok?" I question him between wheezes

He slowly nods and then his eyes widen looking at me. I push myself up and shoot him a quizzical look

"Peter?"

"sure! yeah!" his high pitch voice emerges and he hurriedly stands up "I ummm, need to... go!" he runs to the boy's changing lockers leaving me with more questions than answers

I turn to Ned who is also disconcerted about Peter

"what was that?" I ask him and he shrugs

"I dunno... you know what you get yourself into" he laughs and I nudge him

Some minutes passed and I start getting worried, my phone was at my locker so I couldn't text Peter. The workout is far forgotten.

"Ned... do you mind to see if Peter's ok?" I plea and he tilts his head

"oh, come on... he's fine!"

"oh please Ned, are you telling me that you prefer doing push-ups now?"  I lift a brow questioning him

He huffs and stands up but turns to me "you're so annoyingly wise Tannie..." 

I mouth a 'thank you' and he starts walking inside the changing lockers. I slump my back again to the mat waiting. I spot the others running and also exercising, Coach Wilson encouraging others to run faster. My eyes land on the doors expecting. Minutes pass and the class almost arrives at its end and Ned is nowhere to be seen. I huff and sit upright rolling the mat and walking to place it inside a rack. And when I spin, Peter walks out to the gym, before approaching him I see how he's pale and a limbing?
