summary: after begging your best friend peter to take you to the x-mansion, you finally accompany him there after some serious consideration. however, peter seems strangely eager to leave, and is oddly upset when you bond with the other mutants; more specifically scott summers. after the day ends, you confront him about his behavior, and one thing leads to another.
You had been begging your best friend, Peter, all day to take you to the X-Mansion ever since he said that he was going back. It had been what - 5 months since you had known him? Ever since he had seen you beat his high score at the arcade, you two had been inseparable. You would meet up constantly at the arcade, and it was one of the only times he’d even come out of his mom’s basement (other than to rob but wtvr).
Peter Maximoff knew absolutely everything about you; he knew your parents, your siblings, your favorite video games, how you were deathly allergic to cucumbers, how you worshipped INXS. Even the mundane things, like how you never double-knotted your shoelaces, resulting in you constantly tripping over them. But the one most prominent attribute about you, or one that he found most prominent was that you had a cult-like obsession with the X-Men.
The wall of your room consisted of so many X-Men posters to the point that Peter couldn’t even see the original color of the wall. You had collectable figurines, plushies, comics, clothing, mugs, pins, bags, all with one central theme. X-Men.
Peter’s face was even on some of your merch, which greatly pleased him; although he couldn’t feel the same about your love for Cyclops. At first, he had wondered if you had approached him with an ulterior motive, but the more time he spent with you, the less he thought so.
“Please, Peter! Aren’t you going back to the mansion today? It won’t hurt to bring me with you.”
Peter shrugs.
“I mean, it won’t hurt.”
You grin. But Peter isn’t so sure. There is tons of danger at the X-Mansion. You could get hurt by one of the mutants, or you could forget about Peter and completely ditch him for Scott Summers.
‘Is that why I don’t want her to go?’ Peter wonders. ‘I mean, it’s not like we’re dating or anything…’ Peter wishes for it to be the opposite.
“I mean, I could take you if they let me.”
Your eyes widen as you become more excited.
“Really?”
“Yeah, totally.”
Your eyes shine and Peter’s heart softens.
‘Maybe it won’t be that bad’ he thinks.
You and Peter stand in front of the X-Mansion, and you’re practically vibrating from excitement at this point.
“Jesus, calm down.”
You grin. “I can’t believe this is really happening!” you whisper-shout.
The man who opens the door is none other than Professor X. He greets you and Peter with a warm smile.
“Ah, Peter and his friend.” He holds out his hand to shake, and you take it eagerly. “The name’s Charles Xavier.”
“H-hi.”
As you walk in and make yourself comfortable, introducing yourself to the other mutants, Peter thinks he might have overreacted when he was hesitant to bring you here.
However, that thought quickly disappears.
“Oh. My. God.” you say.
‘Uh oh. That isn’t good.’ Peter thinks.
Scott Summers walks over to you.
“Hi, -” Scott begins, unable to even start his sentence.
“You’re Scott Summers!” you yell, quickly quieting yourself. “I’m, um,” your speech is much more calm this time to avoid embarrassing yourself in front of your idol. “I’m a fan.”
Scott looks at Peter and notices him eyeing him like a menacing hawk. Well. A mad Peter Maximoff, someone who has never been mad before isn't scary at all.
“Well, hello there, fan.” Scott immediately catches onto Peter’s obvious crush on you, deciding that he’ll maybe have some fun.
“Hi,” you respond with a giggle. Peter groans, running a hand through his silver hair. This was not going well. Not well at all. Peter hadn’t yet caught on that Scott was egging him on, teasing him, as he was too distracted by the possibility of his supposed best friend being stolen away by some… some… laser eyed scoundrel! Peter cursed himself.
“Can we go now?” Peter groans in a condescending voice. You look back at him with a surprised expression on your face. You had never before heard or seen Peter talk in that way in the past five months that you had known him, ever.
“‘Peter!” you chastise.
“You really don’t need to be all over him. You’re probably annoying Scott.” He turns to Scott. “Isn’t that right?”
“Well, I rather enjoy her company.”
Oh, come on. Peter thought he could have at least backed off from someone that was clearly his.
Scott internally laughs as Peter’s expression grows hard.
“You don’t need to be here anymore.” Peter grumbles. He gently grabs your arm, dragging you off the property of the X-Mansion.
“Peter, what the hell?” you say.
“What.”
“Why’re you acting all moody and shit?”
Peter frowns. Why was he doing this? Why was he so intent on keeping her away from Scott?
“I felt weird.”
You stare at him, confused.
“Huh?”
“I hated seeing you talk to him. I didn’t like it.”
“Why?” you demand. “Tell me why.”
“I don’t know, okay!”
“I think I know why.”
It was somewhat ironic that the girl Peter liked realized that he liked her before he himself found that out.
You grab his hand and squeeze it tightly.
“Don’t do that shit again. Acting all jealous. You have nothing to be jealous of.”
‘S-sure.” Peter stutters. You’re so close to him that he can feel your body heat, your warmth on his body. He wants more. He just doesn’t know it yet.
