LOUISE. you know that i am a SUCKER FOR FLUFF AND FOR FLUFFY PETER.
peter knew that he was being nervous for no reason, but he couldn’t help it. he couldn’t help but feel weird about wanting to hold your hand or giving you soft gentle kisses, even though you had told him over and over again that it was okay.
he blushed at the memory of the first time that he had successfully held your hand without chickening out. you were at his apartment watching a movie and he did the whole “yawn and throw his arm over your shoulder” thing and gently grabbed your hand.
you had given him the biggest smile and snuggled even closer into his side and that made his heart soar.
but in this moment, he was even more nervous. he didn’t know why he was weird about pda, but it was difficult to get used too. you had also started to notice that he got nervous when you went to grab his hand or hug him in public. and you would never want to do anything to push him, but you had started to think that maybe something was wrong with you.
“peter, can i uhm, can i ask you a question?” you asked nervously. your voice was a bit shaky and you couldn’t bear to look him in the eyes.
“of course y/n. what is it babe?” he grabbed your hand gently, holding it in his own as if it was the most precious thing he could do.
“do you not like to kiss me or touch me?”
peter’s eyes got wide at your question. he felt ashamed of himself. how could he not realize that his worrisome thoughts of showing pda would affect you too, not just him.
“no no babe, of course i do! i really do i promise. i’m just… i’m just not used to showing affection in public you know? and you’re just so confident about it and i don’t wanna mess up and like i know i’m bad at it anyways so i just get nervous.” peter glanced down at your hands, playing with your fingers a bit and feeling his cheeks get warmer out of shame.
“peter, why didn’t you just tell me? it’s okay that you’re not comfortable with it. and i can assure you that you’re not bad at it either okay? we can go slow, we can go at whatever pace you want.”
peter’s heart swelled with love for you and for your understanding nature. without thinking twice he gently pressed his lips against yours, feeling your body relax against his and a smile on your lips.
“was uhm, that was okay right? i can do that?”
“yes peter, you can do that as many times as you want.” you said, biting your lip and looking down at your lap, your smile growing bigger and bigger.
“well in that case, i wanna do it as much as possible.” he laughed and went in to kiss you again, making you giggle against his lips.
Let’s talk about PDA with Peter!!! Like, boy is so nervous at first to to hold your hand, do the cliché Yawn-arm-over-the-shoulder thing at movies, etc. But he learns to love PDA and just starts doing small things all the time. A need, tbh.
