xx: C.C.’s First Date

About six hours after Happy dropped Peter, C.C. got a call from the boy.

"I messed up!" He said, it sounded like he was whispering. "May walked into my room while I was in the Spider-man suit and she freaked out—"

"Oh, Peter," She pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'm sorry, but you'll have to deal with that on your own, it's your aunt."

"I know— it's just... she'll want to talk to you afterward. Once she hears the whole story..."

"When?"

"Probably tomorrow?"

She sighed, at least tomorrow they'd have the whole morning to rehearse their explanation.

"Your boyfriend does a terrible job at hiding his identity," Pietro raised a brow. "First his friend and now his aunt?"

"To be fair, at least it's people that care about him and won't go around telling his secret," She shrugged. "I have to go to his place tonight, apparently May wants to talk to me about this hero stuff..."

"Should I go?"

"She doesn't know you have powers."

"Yeah, but she'll know after this, she's not an idiot," He rolled his eyes.

"Maybe this will make things easier?" She ventured. "The less alone he is, the better. I think."

That dinner was one of the most awkward interactions she'd ever had, and that was saying something. May wasn't rude to her, she asked a lot of questions, just like Peter she didn't treat her any different now that she knew C.C.'s true nature.

Peter also let slip that he'd asked her on a date and the situation turned even more embarrassing. It was a different kind of awkward, at least this one made C.C. feel giddy.

"C.C? Can I speak with you for a moment?" May signaled to the kitchen.

She followed her without really knowing how the woman was feeling. May crossed her arms loosely and smiled at her sweetly.

"I want to ask you a favor."

"Oh?"

"Go easy on him?" May said quietly. "Peter's a good boy, but he's inexperienced. I don't want him to feel pressured, and you know he'd never say no to you—"

"Oh, May, I-I'm not—" She blushed. "I don't know what I'm doing either."

"Oh," The woman said in surprise. "Really? I mean, not that I'm saying you're some kind of—"

"No no, I get it, I'm a secret agent so I must've had a precocious life," She said casually. "But I never... this is the first time I feel this way about someone, and I'm a little scared, actually, but I trust Peter. I'm glad my heart," She made a face. "Or whatever... chose him."

May stepped closer and placed both hands on C.C.'s shoulders, giving them a loving squeeze.

"My opinion of you hasn't changed at all, C.C. You're a good girl, I know you'll keep Peter safe because you care about him."

"I will. He's my best friend."

Whenever she ran into Peter at school or locked eyes with him in the hallway, his smile would look vastly different. It was a knowing grin, almost felt like he was teasing her, but he never made a comment that made her uncomfortable.

When Friday arrived C.C. wasn't sure of what to do with herself. Pietro wasn't around, he'd just gotten a job at some corner store so she wouldn't see him until dinner.

She'd gone back to the apartment just to change her clothes, Peter would pick her up with May. She tried three different dresses until she found a patterned skirt that looked fancy enough. The girl decided to wear Peter's jacket so he could take it back home after the date.

Someone used the intercom to the apartment, C.C. knew at once who it was.

"Going!" She said without letting him speak.

C.C. rushed out the place as quickly as possible, locking the door clumsily. Her hands were shaking, so were her knees.

"HI!" The girl exclaimed a bit too loud, she stopped and cleared her throat. "Hey, Peter. Hi, May!"

The boy walked out of the car only to open the door for her, he entered right after. May was looking at them with a smile.

"Alright, so what's your plan for today?"

"We're going to the movies," Peter replied. "Maybe I'll take C.C. to the cat cafe afterward."

"No!" She pouted. "The cats follow me everywhere! Last time I had two sneaking into the stall while I was in the bathroom!"

"I think that's cute," He teased. "Can we go to the cafe, please?"

May left them right outside the movie theater.

"You guys have fun, okay?" She said from the driver's seat. "Peter, I expect you to be the perfect gentleman—"

"May," He whined. "That's enough. See you at nine?"

"Yeah," She winked. "See you later!"

Peter helped her climb out of the car and closed the door, he didn't let go of her hand once that was over. C.C. was feeling a little silly, she wanted to return Peter's attentions but she couldn't naturally reciprocate.

"That's mine, isn't it?" Peter pointed at her jacket. "I was wondering where I'd left it..."

"Oh yeah, I brought it to give it back," She laughed. "Remind me to take it off when you drop me off at my place—"

"Keep it."

She snorted. "No, Peter, I won't steal from a guy in need."

"I'm not that broke," He frowned. "Besides, it looks better on you. You pull it off like no one else."

She bashfully mumbled a thank you, pulling Peter towards the ticket line.

She'd been staring at his hand for the most part of the hour. Should she be holding it? It was what everyone in the movies did, but she didn't feel like having that kind of closeness.

He laughed, everyone in the theater did, and she blinked her thoughts away trying to focus on the movie. Then she started to think about her sixteenth birthday, and what she'd do now that she lived in a normal apartment. Did she want a party? And would her friends go? It was Halloween, maybe they had better things to do...

Before she knew it the movie was over and Peter was asking her if she'd liked it. She lied and said she did.

"We'll go to the cat cafe?" She asked, surprised to be looking forward to it now that the movie was over.

"I thought you didn't like it?" He grinned.

"You like it and I don't hate it," She shrugged.

"Okay, let's go," Peter beamed.

He intertwined their fingers and guided her forward.

"So what's the plan for your birthday?" Peter asked. "Last year we didn't celebrate it."

"Last year we weren't friends," She grinned. "Well, we weren't as close as we are now."

"That's what I said," He smiled. "So? Got a plan?"

"I don't know, I'm not big on parties..."

"You don't like parties when the people in them aren't your friends," He corrected. "It'll be different now."

"You think I should have a party?"

"Yeah, and it's Halloween! We can all wear costumes!"

"You say it like we don't do that every night," She laughed.

"It's different, our suits aren't costumes," He frowned. "I mean they are, but—"

"I get what you mean," C.C. giggled. "Fine, I'll plan a party. We'll wear costumes. Any ideas?"

"We could do matching costumes? I've always wanted to do that with Ned, but he said it was too dorky to do it with a friend, he said it was cooler with a partner."

He blushed and stopped his explanation, C.C. didn't see why he'd gotten so shy all of a sudden.

"Okay," She replied. "I'm in. Matching costumes sounds good, it's different from what I do all the time."

"Yeah?"

"It'll feel different from the usual hero stuff," She explained. "I've never worn anything that matched a person's clothing. It'll be fun."

"Cool, yeah," Peter smiled. "We should start looking, your birthday's in two weeks."

"Do you know how to plan parties?"

He squinted a little. "No, I have no idea."

"We should ask Pietro."

"Definitely."

"I had a nice time, Peter. Thank you."

"I had fun too..."

They looked at each other for a brief second, Peter awkwardly stepped forward and she followed his lead, giving him a short hug.

"Okay," She laughed nervously. "See you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, that'd be great," He smiled. "See you, Cat."

C.C. entered the building and ran up the stairs, she opened the door to her apartment and approached the window ignoring Pietro's objections.

"Bye!" She shouted.

Peter looked up and smiled, he waved at her before turning the corner. Behind her, Pietro slammed the door.

"So?" He crossed his arms. "Did you kiss him?"

"No," She told him. "Peter said he didn't mind waiting until I'm ready. Hey, can you help me plan a birthday party?"

"Birthday party?"

"Yeah," She smiled. "Peter suggested a Halloween party, everyone can wear a costume. He said we could match ours."

"Aww, you two are so cute," He cooed. "Sure, I'll help you out. It's so crazy ironic how your birthday's on Halloween, huh?"

"I picked it," She said. "When we were doing all my C.C. Stark documents, I chose the date. I thought it was a nice touch, pretending to be born the day monsters are celebrated."

"That's not exactly what Halloween is..."

"It's how it feels to me," The girl shrugged. "Anyway, Peter will ask Ned to help us out cause neither of us knows what you're supposed to buy for a party."

"I'll talk to them, you don't need to worry about anything," Pietro winked. "Are you excited?"

"Yeah! Although I wish Wanda and the others could be here... but I guess it would be weird to have a bunch of adults in a teenager's Halloween party."

"And inconvenient," The older boy added. "It's alright, Copy, you won't even notice they're missing."

When she was getting ready for bed her phone started buzzing, she grabbed it and saw Peter's face on the screen.

"Hi?"

"Hey, I finished Spider-man's patrol and I'm home now. Er... I don't know why I called you to say that, I just wanted to let you know."

She could almost see him making a face at his own awkwardness, C.C. found it endearing.

"Thank you, I can't sleep if I don't know you're safe," She told him so he would feel less silly. "You're going to sleep now?"

"Yeah— Hey, about your party," She heard his mattress squeak under his weight. "Did you tell Pietro?"

"He said he'll talk to Ned and they'll plan everything, that I don't need to worry."

"I want to help too," He said. "What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?"

She grew very quiet, the girl sat down near her window.

"Are we really a couple now? It's only been one date."

"I-I mean, if you're not comfortable we can wait—"

"No, it's not that I'm not comfortable," She replied. "It's that I don't know. I thought we were supposed to wait a while before calling each other that. It isn't this easy, right?"

"Well, sometimes it's not, but with us, it might be?" He answered. "We've been friends for a while, that should make things easier."
