Midorima and Takao for character thing please?
Hey thanks for asking!! This’ll probably be really long too ‘cause there’s two of them lol
Midorima
How I feel about this character
Honestly I didn’t get the hype for Midorima when I first started watching the show. I liked him, but didn’t feel especially strongly about him one way or the other (a little surprising given his similarities to Rei Ryugazaki from Free!) Over time, though, he’s definitely grown on me, and I think I’m finally starting to understand where the hype comes from. I appreciate his character more and more every time I rewatch, and I love his growth and the relationship between him and his team (the gentle bullying, the not-so-gentle constant teasing, and the mutual respect that develops between them). I also appreciate him being the one member of the GoM who didn’t go along with the sadistic Teiko shit everyone else was pulling.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Alright let’s see…
Takao (obvs, I mean how could you not)
Kagami (I love that one scene during the summer training camp so much, and would love to see how their relationship develops from that little breakthrough)
Kuroko (even though Midorima professes to not get along with him, I think their dynamic is interesting and there’s definitely respect and care on both sides)
Akashi (their relationship during Teiko is really interesting and I like how Midorima seems to be the one, at least at the time, who seems to understand Akashi best. also them being the only two brain cells on Teiko’s team I mean)
Kise (these two… I don’t know how I didn’t notice at first but they’re almost always together in the stands during games, and banter back and forth a lot with a kind of teasing familiarity that I really appreciate. they’d be a hilarious match-up, but honestly those kinds of relationships are the most fun)
Aomine (ok full disclosure I ship Aomine with everybody. these two would probably have the same issues in a relationship that Midorima and Kagami would, or worse, but there’s also the added interest of them having a history together, and maybe understanding and caring for each other more than either wants to admit)
Murasakibara (opposites attract what are ya gonna do, these two butting heads at Teiko definitely puts some tension between them, and by the end of the show it seems to have turned into just light bickering but same as above. they’ve got history and I think a relationship between them would be really unique)
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Kise. Now hear me out… I know I said I’d also ship them romantically (that’s the case for most of the non-romantic ships, they could go either way) but just… the relationship these guys have as friends (in canon and a lot of fanworks I’ve seen) is so funny and so out of nowhere, I’m living every time they interact and never want it to change. They’re so different and yet they have this odd chemistry together that just works for me on every level. Kise ambushing him in the stands when he thinks he’s being sneaky and calling him out for wanting to watch this game or that, that one restaurant scene after the first Shutoku/Seirin game (”you’ve changed a little”), their commiseration when shit’s falling apart at Teiko, it’s just great. 
My unpopular opinion about this character
Peak character design tbh. I know people get on him for having green hair or long lashes or looking like a carrot (which… fair), but even though he’s not one of my favorites I can’t seem to stop staring at how pretty this boy is every time he’s on screen. …Until the last game gelled his hair down wtf is that lego clip-on skullcap supposed to be.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
Ya know of all the characters who they could’ve had access the Zone… why Murasakibara but not this guy? Idk I’m conflicted bc on the one hand, I think the Zone kinda got the Super Saiyan treatment as it is (as in it’s used as a mere boost instead of some mystical unpredictable thing, and everyone and their grandma can eventually do it) but I’m also kinda salty that the whole GoM (including Kise if you count his Perfect Copy in the Last Game) got to use it except Midorima. We were robbed of pretty green glasses lightning for no reason imo.
Takao
How I feel about this character
I love this sassy hawk boy. First of all, he’s hands-down the funniest character in my opinion. In my most recent rewatch with my roommate, we couldn’t stop laughing at how just about every line from him is some kind of innuendo, and he’s just full of so much snark and chaotic energy it’s amazing. His relationship with Midorima and the rest of Shutoku (especially that bit when he talks about their senpais and how he’s going to miss this team) are excellent, and his backstory actually reminds me of Hinata’s a lot… gets beaten by a guy, vows to defeat him in high school but whoops they’re on the same team. Long story short, I’ve got some serious respect for this character and he’s also a joy to watch every time he shows up.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Midorima (I mean you gotta, their relationship honestly goes without saying. the teasing, the mutual trust, how they’re always connected at the hip, it’s all right there)
Kuroko (every time these two interact I lose my shit. If they were a couple it would be so chaotic, what can I say they’ve got a certain chemistry)
Izuki (I feel like these guys would get along like a house on fire tbh. The puns and the snark, their very similar abilities, they’re just birds of a feather I think)
Himuro (okay they’ve only interacted all of one time, but it was enough for me, that scene of Takao helping poor lost Himuro find his way “I’ve delivered your lost child to you” send me)
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Kuroko. Same as before, I could also see them as a romantic couple, but honestly I just love the bromance between these two. I love how different and yet similar they are, and I love their shared investment in Midorima and Kagami’s development, their conversations during games, and the potential for them to be gossip buds or wingmen for each other or something… I just like the way they get along that’s all there is to it. 
My unpopular opinion about this character
Takao is OP as shit. K he might not have the Zone or any of the other powers the GoM has, but being able to see the whole court at all times? Being able to precision-shoot a basketball right into his teammate’s hand while it’s moving at high speed? Who is he, Kageyama? (side note, Kageyama is OP as shit too). I don’t see too much commentary about Takao as a player in general, but I’ve never even once seen this mentioned. I suppose in a world of ridiculous skittles bending the laws of physics left and right he doesn’t stand out much, but considering he’s supposed to be, for all intents and purposes, an ordinary player, he’s sure got some outstanding abilities and it’s just kinda weird how that’s never really addressed by the show or the fandom. 
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
More screentime. Not that he was suffering any particular lack of it, but honestly I’ll never get enough Takao and that’s the only way I think he could’ve been improved. Maybe delve just a little bit more into his backstory but really just seeing more of him esp as the show went on would’ve been nice.

Re-watching Lizzie Mcguire: Episode 1.4 (Pool Party)
The Actual First Episode
Tumblr media
A classic Lizzie Mcguire episode
- For some strange reason, this episode was considered episode #4 and the fourth episode to air even though the production code for this episode is '101′. Meaning that chronologically, this is episode #1 and probably the series pilot. It’s no wonder that all the kids look a lot younger here than in other episodes.
- That being said, let’s begin my episode recap. Lizzie is running through an obstacle course during P.E. class and she’s having a miserable time; I can definitely relate. Side note: Coach Kelly is played by Dot Marie Jones, who also played Coach Beiste on the hit Fox television series, Glee.
- Cartoon Lizzie, who is Lizzie’s conscience gives us a brief commentary on the different social circles in her gym class and she describes herself as someone who doesn’t fit in any category. I can also relate to her in that aspect just because during high school, I didn’t fit into any sort of clique. And that’s fine because having multiple interests and friends from different walks of life was beneficial to me.
Introducing Lizzie’s BFFs and Classmates
Tumblr media
This is so pure, I love it
- Babies! They look so young here for real. Miranda is first introduced as Lizzie’s best friend and they basically confide in each others secrets. But more about Miranda later on.
Tumblr media
Gordo is so cute but extremely wise for his age
- Lizzie knew Gordo since she was a day out of her mom’s womb. She describes him as “smart, funny, creative and right about everything”. That’s our Gordo for sure.
Tumblr media
Kate looks quite different here and it’s not because of the face she’s pulling
- Kate Sanders, as you all know is Lizzie’s frenemy but former best friend because she hit puberty and became popular because of that. I kinda need more info on how that happened. Did the other girls suddenly look up to her? Or did Kate suddenly develop a lot of confidence and a mean attitude to pair?
Tumblr media
Danny Kessler was more visible at the start of the series. I wonder what happened?
- I believe Danny was meant to play a larger part in the show; However, his character just kind of faded into the background later on only to be somewhat replaced by Ethan Craft, who is a far better character in my opinion. He serves the purpose of being the hottest boy in school who girls go gaga for and that’s about it really. Danny invites Lizzie and Miranda to a pool party on Saturday and they lose their minds from the invitation. 
The Mcguire Household
Tumblr media
Lizzie vs Dad and Matt lol. Jo as referee.
- I found this scene, which introduces us to Lizzie’s parents and brother to be a little chaotic; Lizzie tells her family that she’s been invited by the ‘hunk-in-training’ of the school to a party. We also get mentions of spit-swapping and strip poker as well as her dad thinking she has been kissing Danny and having second thoughts on allowing her to go to this party.
- Well, Lizzie doesn’t have to worry about it because she can’t go either way because her Nana’s 80th birthday party falls on the same day. Lizzie gets mad and storms off. I’m guessing her Nana lives out of town and so, it isn’t possible to go to her birthday party and also come back for Danny’s party on the same day.
Miranda’s Betrayal
- Lizzie vents to Miranda and Gordo about not being able to make it to Danny Kessler’s pool party and because of that, being the best friend Miranda is supposed to be, she tells Lizzie that she too won’t be attending his party either in order to show her support for Lizzie.
Side note: Knowing that this episode was written by Terri Minsky, I made the connection that Gordo’s parents who are shrinks is similar to Andi Mack Cyrus’s parents and step-parents being therapists too.
- Kate approaches Miranda and asks her a favor to ask her mom to draw some fake, temporary tattoos on her and her friends for the upcoming party. Miranda accepts and agrees to hang out with Kate after school, which pretty much means she’s re-attending the party and hence, betraying Lizzie in the process.
Tumblr media
Miranda is disliked by most fans because of instances like this
- I honestly cannot be too hard on Miranda because she’s only 13 and everyone at school keeps talking about the pool party. Plus, she has a crush on Danny. So, I can’t fault her for ditching Lizzie but she could have at least asked Kate if Lizzie could come along to her house.
- However, I didn’t like how Lizzie was sitting by herself in the same school bus as Miranda and Kate and Miranda did not bother to ask her to sit with them. Even if Kate isn’t willing to let her, she should definitely stand her ground. Poor Lizzie has to sit with this one kid who proudly picks his nose and flicks it.
Tumblr media
“Eww! Ya Nasty!” *in Raven Baxter’s voice
Obligation vs Being Forced to do things
- Jo Mcguire is on the phone talking to someone about trying to get out of volunteering to write for a newsletter. Lizzie overhears this and confronts her mom for being hypocritical as she is forcing Lizzie to attend her Nana’s birthday party whilst she herself is trying to come up with an excuse to get out of doing something else.
- I get what Lizzie means; how is it okay for her mom to make excuses while she can’t? Well, Jo is an adult, so excuses are something that she is able to make and bear the responsibilities that come out of it. Lizzie is still a kid and I believe that her old grandma’s birthday is more important than some middle school party.
Heart to Heart
- After Lizzie confines herself in her room, Jo deploys her husband, Sam to try to get Lizzie to open up by asking him to use a simple yet complicated technique known as the ‘hairbrush routine’, which is making an excuse to look for something in the room and proceed to talk about a neutral topic and only engage with the questioning at hand when she makes eye contact and speaks in full sentences. Lol, that’s a mouthful.
- Luckily, we did get this beautiful moment in the end:
Tumblr media
Give me some tissues :(
Gordo is the Man
Tumblr media
This is some good acting imo
- Can we first talk about that long stare between Lizzie and Miranda in the hallway when Miranda, Kate and her crew were walking past Lizzie by her locker? Their expressions were so believable; I can almost read the dialog between their faces alone.
- Lizzie complains to Gordo and accuses Miranda for being a hypocrite but Gordo tells Lizzie that she shouldn’t be mad at her because the party was something Miranda really wanted to go to.
- Ughh, it’s hard. The position Miranda was put in is so difficult. It’s either she doesn’t go to the party to show her loyalty or she does go and have the best time of her life but risk having her friend hate her because of it. Either way, I think Lizzie shouldn’t be mad at Miranda regardless. There are plenty more episodes for that in the future.
- Gordo delivers the final blow when he says that he wasn’t even invited to the party and that pretty much cancels out all of Lizzie’s arguments.
Tumblr media
Another cute Lizzie x Gordo moment
Lizzie makes up with her Mom and Miranda
- Jo enters Lizzie’s room and tells her that her Nana is going to Las Vegas to play poker and so, Lizzie is free to go to the pool party. What a grandma haha! I’m happy they hugged it out. I don’t like Lizzie being mad at her mom.
- Lizzie decided to skip the party (good for her!) and she and Gordo played in the backyard and made art by dipping a huge piece of cloth in some color dye to create a really cool effect.
- Miranda unexpectedly shows up at Lizzie’s backyard after leaving the pool party and turns out, she had a bad time because Kate’s ankle swelled up from the tattoo and she had to sit with her in the locker room. She also admits being a bad friend to Lizzie for blowing her off.
- Lizzie doesn’t hold any grudge and she and Miranda are back to being besties!
Overall Thoughts
- There was a lot to talk about in this episode from Lizzie’s relationship woes with her best friend to her feeling like her opinions and thoughts are not seen as valid by her family. I do think that for how Lizzie was so upset at Miranda, she kinda forgave her too easily. But I don’t think I would want to see them continue to not be on speaking terms for more than 1 episode.
- I am glad that there was no unnecessary sub-plot involving Matt and Sam in this episode. His story-lines are really a hit or miss to me. I prefer the ones where his relationship with his friends and family are tested as well as when he faced situations that gave him character development. I don’t like the goofy, comic-relief ones like last episode’s cooking fiasco.

Code Red — Part Three [Peter Parker x Avenger!Reader]
MASTERLIST//CR MASTERLIST
WC: 2.900
Y/N shuffled into the black car, Tony sitting in the front with his hand steadily curled around the steering wheel. Clint happened to be conveniently placed beside him, his eyes continuously darting towards the rear view mirror to glance back at the two teens.
The car ride was absolutely silent—at least for the first half of the ride. Y/N was too anxious to make any half-assed quick-witted remarks, and Peter was too concerned with consoling her. His hand gently rest upon hers, the warmth of his fingertips radiating onto hers. A part of her was put to ease by the simple gesture, but that certainly didn't distract from the waves of anxiety crippling her every limb.
On top of that, she was hoping Clint would keep his big fat mouth shut, but that was unlikely. The archer always seemed to enjoy being a chaotic human being, so he was entirely unpredictable. Y/N despised that about him. She hoped that maybe he did know how to shut up, otherwise she was in for long ride and an earful from Tony.
"Why is no one talking?" Tony cut the silence with a knife. He spared at glimpse at the Clint then flickered his eyes up towards the mirror where he made eye contact with Y/N.
"Because I'm trying not to hurl," Y/N groaned, slouching back.
She blinked away fearful tears, not wanting to appear weak. She kept forgetting she was still a child, but Natasha's words kept ringing through her head. Now was not the time to act like a kid. It was important to remain structured and intact for the mission, as much as it pained her to do so. Y/N didn't realize how hard that was. Natasha seemed to do it so fluently like undercover work was merely instinct. Then again, she was a trained assassin.
"I think we should call this off," Clint added, pondering on his little conversation with Y/N earlier. He couldn't stop thinking about the miscellaneous Prom question. Why would she ask that?
"No!" Y/N shouted, sounding a lot harsher than she intended. Everyone shot her concerned glances before she relaxed, calmly shaking her head and adjusting her tone. "No, Clint. It's fine. I can do this. We've gone too far to give up now."
Time to grow up.
"Y/N, I'm sorry, this is going to bother me the whole night. Tony, I walked in on—"
"No!" Peter cried.
"Clint, I swear to God, you say one more fucking word I will throttle you! I. Will. Kill. You."
"Language!" Tony hissed. He looked skeptically between his three team mates, a muddled look in his whiskey brown eyes. "What the hell is going on?"
Clint was squirming in his seat like a five year old just desperate to tattle on Y/N and Peter. He kept fidgeting with his hands, making silent conversation with Y/N through mouthed words and violent hand gestures.
"I will kill you. Hold off for now. Do it later."
"Do what later?" Tony was starting to get antsy. "Someone tell me what the hell is going on."
"Nothing!" The three chanted in sync.
Tony pursed his lips, rolling his eyes before settling back into his seat. "Whatever. You guys are children. Ridiculous children. I'm gonna' bitch about this moment to you later during the drive home, FYI."
"You did not just say 'FYI' like that," Y/N winced. "You sound like a total dad when you do that. Soon enough, you're going to start saying 'LOL' out loud to fit in with the cool kids."
"You're very snappy tonight, little miss. You're lucky I don't hate you, otherwise I'd be yapping your ear off like a Chihuahua about how much your getting on my last nerve."
"I'm getting on your last nerve? Are you joking? Tony, I've pretty much had it up to here with you," she used her hand to show how fed up she was with him by furiously shoving it high into the air, "and the night has barely begun! You're practically throwing me into a fucking war zone to die! Give me a break!"
"Y/N, it was a joke! Jesus, kiddo!" Tony argued. "Remind me to never get on your bad side."
Y/N thought she could hear her own heart loudly thumping against her chest. She could certainly feel it too. There was a giant lump in her throat, limiting the accuracy of her breathing, trembling, shallow breathes puffing past her lips. She slumped against the corner of the car, her arms wrapped around her body as if to protect herself from the cruel world. Slowly, she sank into a silent panic attack, shutting her eyes to hide herself from the people in the car.
"Y/N?" she noticed Tony's voice, but this time isn't wasn't dripping with sarcasm or aflame with a fiery remark. It was soft and soothing, full of uncommon sincerity. "You've gotta' stop thinking so much. All you're doing is freaking yourself out. You have five of us in there with you. Five. They'll have eyes on you the whole time, they're going to keep you safe. Nothing bad is going to happen."
Y/N used the pad of her thumb to blot away a tear that managed to appear on her waterline. She didn't want to ruin her makeup—another reason why she hated wearing it so much. Tears were bound to happen eventually, and she did not want to be walking around with mascara tracks stained onto her cheeks. She drew out a shaky breath, then swallowed her fear.
"Yeah," she replied. "That's what they all say right before something bad happens. I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let's just get it done."
"Sounds good, Hermione," Clint sighed.
Y/N grinned.
Eventually, the car pulled up to the front of the location. The gala was located at an art museum in the center of the city, which Y/N found to be quite the glamorous place for such a luxurious party. She noticed all the women entering through the entrance wearing long, elegant gowns with their handsome dates locked like a chain around their arm. The jewelry was flashy and the cameras were clicking. She could hear conversation carrying fluently across the sea of expensive color rolling in through the grand front doors.
"Good luck, Y/N. You got this kid. And you look like a million bucks," Tony turned around in his seat to face her. "Also, no making out with Parker. At least, not during the mission. I don't care what you do afterwards. Make sure your comms are on."
"Love you," she said quickly, not even thinking before the words came flying out of her mouth. Subconsciously, she supposed it was a good time to say it, seeing as there were a million different ways—good or bad—that this thing could go. She didn't want to take any chances.
Her hand found Peter's as he escorted her from the car, and immediately the folding red hot waves of anxiety succumbed to the tenderness of his touch. Y/N let out a long breath, collecting herself before forcing the fakest smile onto her painted features. She wanted to apologize to Peter for how clammy her hands were, but he didn't seem to care in the slightest. With ease, he extended his elbow towards her, and she took it graciously.
"You okay?" Peter asked. Y/N hadn't even realized they were already up the whole flight of steps.
"Yeah, just flustered. I can do this, right?" Y/N whispered, breathing in how attractive he looked in his suit. She wondered if they looked good together from afar.
Peter smiled daintily, brushing a messy strand of hair from her eyes. "Definitely."
She flashed her friend a dimpled grin before lacing her fingers with his. They poured into the museum, the hum of classical music instantly filling her ears, drowning out the harsh clamor of perturbation. She heard the steady taps of high heels rapping against the sleek marble tiles, men's shoes clicking aimlessly as they trailed behind their dates or danced with them enthusiastically. Chatter hovered at an even pace throughout the tall halls, wine glasses clinking together in an epiphany of joy and gathering.
Y/N glanced up towards the massive crystal chandelier dangling from the sky like a star. A large mural painted the ceiling with reds, blue, beiges and greens. The colors seemed infinite. Art littered the walls, surrounded by engraved golden frames. The place was absolutely stunning—it reminded Y/N somewhat of a building she'd see in France or Greece. God, how she wished she could see those wondrous places.
"Wow!" she gasped, absorbing the view for all its worth.
Peter shared a similar awestrucken expression as his date. "I see Natasha and Clint. Wanda and Steve should show up by the bar any second now."
Y/N nodded, ignoring the brisk stares from adults silently commending her dress. She made the smile on her face relaxed, trying to keep her appearance more inviting by standing up straight and keeping her brows subtly lifted.
"Testing, testing. Ground control to Major Tom. This is Tony Stark—AKA Iron Bitch. Do you copy?"
"Oh, my God. Stark. Shut the fuck up," Clint groaned.
"Affirmative."
Y/N giggled, Tony's ridiculous commentary settling her nerves and making the situation appear less frightening than it initially seemed.
After everyone checked to make sure their comms were working, the plan was in motion.
Peter stuck out his hand, blinking nervously. "Uh, wanna' dance? I-I mean, we kind of have to, but . . ."
"Spider-ling shoots his shot aaaaannndd . . . he fails. Quite dramatically. Better luck next time, pal."
Y/N bit down on her lip, repressing a cheeky smile. She graciously accepted his hand, entwining their fingers together. A gleeful chuckle flew from her lips and Peter felt relaxed by here sincere reaction, escorting her to the dance floor.
"Fair warning, I-I don't really know how," Y/N warned.
"It's okay. Me neither. We can just follow what everyone else is doing and hope they don't judge us."
She extended her arms, trying to follow what the other adults in the room were doing. She clasped her hand onto his shoulder then threaded her other soft, manicured hand with his, moving their arms outwards away from their bodies. His available hand looped around the girl's waist, lying firmly against her back. He pulled her closer, their bodies pressed together. Y/N could feel his breath on her lips, her heels providing enough height for her to be eye-to-eye level with him.
"I kind of want to kiss you right now, but Tony's in my ear and that just makes me feel dirty," Y/N said, staring at his lips, annoyed that she couldn't close the agonizing gap between their faces.
"I don't know whether to feel relieved or uncomfortable."
"Wait, are they kissing? Should they be doing that?" Definitely Steve.
"Ha! I walked in on them kissing in Peter's room." Clint. The rat.
"Way to keep a secret, Clint. I'm never telling you anything anymore!" Y/N hissed under her breath.
"Sorry, Mr. Stark!"
"I'm sorry, they what in Peter's what? I'm offended I didn't know that. Is that the secret you three gremlins were fighting about in the car? It definitely was. I don't care. I want the details. How was it?"
"Y/N made a vow to not fall in love with Peter, and she broke it barely thirty minutes in."
"You made a vow to not fall in love with me?"
"I thought she broke that vow like a month ago!" Steve felt confused. "Or was that a different one?"
"That was the one where she vowed off chocolate milk."
"Ohhh," he understood. "I remember that."
"Yeah, you're an old man so you wouldn't remember those kinds of things, Steven."
"What?! Everyone shut up! Focus on the mission, stop talking! You're stressing me out!" Y/N muttered, her tone thick with irritation.
"Yikes, I feel like I'm listening to a soap opera."
The conversation finally died down, and Y/N just wanted to curl up beside Peter and take a long nap. Her exhaustion was nearly enough for her to ask to call of the mission, but she decided that was rather a ridiculous reason.
Y/N slid her arm around Peter's neck, resting her chin on his shoulder. His arm tightened around her waist, large palms resting flat against her bare back. Her skin was cold against the pads of his fingers. He felt electrified by her. The scent of vanilla soon wafted towards his nose, and he closed his eyes, their hands still absentmindedly entwined, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
For a moment it felt like they weren't on mission. It was just Y/N and Peter, swaying away in the middle of a ball room, bodies pressed together, undoubtedly young and in love, unbeknownst to it. It felt like they were normal—like Y/N didn't have powers and Peter wasn't enhanced. They weren't Avengers or superheroes. They weren't challenged by the everyday horrors of the real world. They were just stupid teenagers with a lot on their plate and diverging paths, with broken vows and shimmering promises.
Reluctantly, Y/N opened her eyes, settling back into reality, removing her hand from Peter's and placing it smoothly onto his shoulder. He snaked his hand down towards her waist until his arms locked around her. Peter started to scope out the area out behind her, attempting to identify Axel Klein in the crowd. Y/N's eyes skimmed past anonymous faces until finally they did a complete rotation around the entirety of the room, her eyes recognizing the blonde haired boy meandering through the hefty crowd with a glass of champagne.
"I've got eyes on the subject," she mumbled, taking one last moment to press her mouth against Peter's shoulder. She inhaled the scent of his cologne, closing her eyes to bask in it.
"Go for it, Y/N. Your time to shine."
Y/N felt the anxiety slowly creep back, but she couldn't turn back now. She was brave. She could do this.
"I loved dancing with you, Peter Parker," Y/N always loved to say his full name. It rolled so pleasingly off the tongue, by now it was a habit. "Please tell me I'm not going to fuck this up."
Peter half-smiled at the girl, rubbing her shoulder gently. "You're not going to fuck this up. And I liked dancing with you, too."
"Ugh, cringe . . . Sorry, did I say that out loud? I would say just kiss already, but that would blow the whole operation. So Parker, kindly stop staring at Y/N's lips, please and thank you. Good luck, kiddo."
Y/N started to walk, but she couldn't leave yet. She didn't want to leave Peter. She already felt alone without his hands caressing her back like she was the most important thing in the world to him. She turned around to face her friend, eyes practically pleading with him not to let her go.
Peter himself had no clue how he felt. His heart was racing, his palms were sweaty. He felt like he would pass out at any given moment. All he wanted to do was protect Y/N, but he knew deep down that she needed to do this. Something inside of him stirred at the horrific thought of this being their final interaction together. He wanted to be with her forever. He would love to be with her forever.
"I-is Axel looking?" she asked, pressing her lips into a thin line.
"W-what? No? He's uh, he's turned around talking to some man."
"Good," Y/N breathed, lurching forward to grab his face. She pressed a quick kiss against his lips, basking in the moment as short lived as it was. Her thumbs laid gently on his cheekbones, as if Peter himself was the most delicate, precious thing in the world to him. She wanted just one more memory of Peter Parker, just one last part of him to hold onto. She just wanted to taste him one last time.
"Oh! Shit! She shoots! She scores!"
Muted colors rained down upon them from the mural painting the sky, violins humming softly in the distance, the deep groan of a cello bouncing like an echo off the walls. The kiss was short but more passionate than the first. It said everything that needed to be said without the interruption of unnecessary words threaded together into unnecessary sentences. It was everything all wrapped up into one pretty, defective bow.
"Thanks for the dance," she whispered, turning around quickly, not taking the chance to see the look on his face. She was afraid if she did she would never leave him.
"Woah. That was . . . pretty intense." Clint took a long sip of his drink.
Natasha rolled her eyes. "Hormones."
"Is it just me or am I feeling way too many emotions? I'm literally drowning in teen angst. This is horrible, I feel like I'm in high school all over again," Tony added, sinking back into the seat of his car, the laptop balanced on his lap.
Y/N casually walked through the crowd, fixated on getting Axel's attention. An idea burned bright in her mind, a smirk growing confidently onto her red lips.
She strutted over in his direction, keeping her shoulders back and chin high. Just out of the corner of her eye she could see Steve and Wanda watching intensely.
Once when you're in the car. Twice in the house. Three times in case of an emergency. Three times in case of a code red. Once. Twice. Thrice.
