#Give me hooking up duo who 'just like making out' and 'just aren't ready to get back out there yet' who feel pressured to do so

I Believe...Steddie

I normally don't mind angst (though I avoid drama fics in general). Miscommunication is the biggest trope in romance, so I'm all for it, but for some reason Steve x Eddie fics / drabbles where Eddie still thinks of Steve as Steve THE KING Harrington always sit weirdly for me. Sometimes, if the Upside Down didn't happen (AUs in general) or pre-UD setting, maybe -- sure, then that could work. But close to canon fics where Eddie lives and Steve legit confesses to him? Always just -- strikes me as wrong.

Finally realized why -- it's literally the antithesis of canon Eddie. Canon! Eddie is quick to acknowledge Steve has changed. He literally runs up to him in the Upside Down while a bunch of madness is happening and where he has every right to be consumed by his own shit-tastic situation, but instead, he's telling Steve how he is a great guy and has changed.

Can Eddie be bitchy and prejudice? Yes.

Does Eddie have grudges against jocks / the popular crowd? Yes.

But he also goes full on bowing gentlemen for cheerleaders (going out of his way to help Chrissy and make her smile) and he's quick to acknowledge Steve's not that same popular AH anymore.

With Steve's bitchiness not aimed at him, Eddie would be eating his Honeycomb and snickering when old habits popped back up, and maybe he'd feel conflicted about jocky Steve, complaining about going to games or something until somebody smacked some sense into him. Totally believe tension and disbelief about one liking the other or some bias about things, but I just can't see Steve proclaiming his love or whatever and Eddie assuming it is a trap or trick or prank or something.

Maybe he'd think Steve was confused. Maybe he'd assume they were doomed, but I can't see him blaming Steve for that or blowing up their relationship IF Eddie accepted the confession and they started dating. Eddie's way more down on himself.

If someone can explain how it makes sense, please do. I'd love to enjoy all Steddie tropes, and that one seems popular lately, but where my brain sees so many problems with them getting to the confession point or even a number of big arguments that could happen afterward due to outside aspects, those two strike me as highly tactile, highly clingy romantics who would be convinced they were the height of discrete while practically fused, constantly touching and being snide little judgy dudes together.

KAREN 3 ( p. parker x reader ) Finale

Me and my fam fam watched Ragnarok. And it got me excited for the Infinity war. Woohh . So here it is people, the piece of the resisntan had made it way to their tables. Enjoy the Finale of Karen. Thanks for tge support.

You made your way to your class along with Michelle. Homecoming was near and you had no date. You were practically planning to ask your crush out. Who else could it be than the nerdy spiderboy itself.

" Are you going to ask him? " Mich asked you as both of you walked your way to your class. You blushed at the question and smiled. " You really are a dork for him. " she teased as she laughed at you. " I would love to be his Dork Mich, don't judge me. " you replied as you shrugged her off. She rolled her eyes at you.

" Well well speaking of the devil, Look ahead Dork. Your Prince awaits. " Michelle said as you turned to where she was looking at.

There stood your Spider Prince indeed with his best friend. Mich smirked and looked at you before she pulled you with her. " Parker! Someone want's to talk to ya! " your eyes widen as you tried to pull away from the damn girl as you called her name.

" Mich! No! " Michelle had you in a death grip as she pulled you with a playful smirk plastered on his face. " gosh, can you tell me where you hide you horns and tail?" you sarcastically asked as you gave up fighting.

Peter and Ned spun to the call of their curly haired friend who is practically dragging poor you behind her.

" Mich, your gonna hurt Y/n. " Peter argued as you smiled at him as he smiled back. "Gosh, stop it I might get diabetes. " Mich teased as you and Pete laughed. Ned gave Mich a playful look as she nodded.

" Here's your chance." you heard Mich whisper as you arched up. You took a breath.

" Peter? " you called as the said boy turned to you. " Yeah? "

Your breathed hitched as your cheeks exploded " aghh W-w-will y-you got to------- " " ring!!!!" you were cut off by the ringing if the school bell. " Oh! Time to go! See you! Come on Ned. . " he said as he pulled Ned along as he ran.

" Peter! Wait-- I-- " your head dropped as Michelle felt bad. She placed a hand on your back as you looked at her sadly.

" Hey, you still have a chance later? Don't worry. " he comforted as you sighed and smiled and nodded and walked to your class. As each period ended you were gathering up more courage.

" What are you gonna do at Lunch?! " Mich asked " I'm gonna Ask him!!" you replied confidently. The girl has been cheering for you all period to gather up all your courage to ask Peter to Homecoming. You two made your way to the cafeteria to meet Ned and Peter and finally ask him out officially. You didn't see Peter at the cafeteria. So you went to find him

You walked you way through the halls as you pulled out your phone and texted Peter.

To: MyDreamDork.

Hey, didn't see you at Cafeteria. I wanna talk to you where are you?

You pressed sent as you continued to walk until a familiar brunette pass your sight. It was Peter. You smiled and ran to follow him. " Peter! " you called but he didn't seem to hear you. You continued to follow until you saw him standing infront of the Trophies. But he wasn't alone. He was rambling as he talked to Liz and it hit a spot to your chest.

They laughed until brought up the homecoming. When Liz said she didn't had time thinking about a date, you felt fear struck you.

" No wait. . " you whispered as you looked at Peter with a scared look.

" Would. . Would you go. .? With me? " he asked.

" Yeah, sure. "

Like a knife plunged into you heart it pained. You covered your mouth as tears sided your lids making you dash out. You ran and ran until you collided with Michelle. The girl shocked and worried held your shoulders as she asked you what happened.

" He asked her." you said as you angrily wiped your tears as you ran out again with michelle calling out you name. She immidiately followed you.

You stood by the entrance as you held your phone on your ear meant that you were talking to someone. Michelle made it to your side. " Hey, Y/n lets talk about this. " she reasoned as a black limousine stopped infront of the both of you. You looked at her as she looked at you in confusion. You pulled her in the car as Happy, the driver. Drove you home to the tower.

Michelle was rambling and quite shocked that you were the Iron Man's daughter. You told her everything that it was to know until you made it to the tower. Happy tried to comfort you liked Michelle but it didn't seem to work either. " I'll go. Take care of her Michelle. " he said as the said girl nodded and followed you to your room.

As you entered you slumped into your bed like any heartbroken teen would do.

Days of the homecoming begin to shorten. Peter noticed your distance from him and worried him. He should be happy and excited for homecoming cause Liz agreed to go with him but not seeing, talking nor smiling of you didn't made him feel like it. He would always see you with Mich as usual although you would ignore or you would just nod or say short replies like yes and no.

He was really worried and sad.

Tony noticed your melancholic state and he was getting worried. The story that Happy told him had him storming to your room right now.

" Y/n M/n Stark. You are going to the Homecoming this instant. " he boomed as he barged into your room. He found your room dim lighted with you on your bed coated with comforter making you look like a Burito and 3 empty pizza boxes on the floor.

You gave him a dead stare before turning back to the tv screen as you ignored your ringing phone on the night stand as Michelle's name lit the screen.

Tony sighed and sat to your side.

" Sweetie, I heard what happened. Its not the end of the world. " he cooed as he made you faced him with horrid look. You had dark bags under your eyes and a stain of tomato sauce from the pizza on your cheeks.

Tony laughed and wiped your cheeks as you pouted.

" What's the point of going? " you mumbled as you dropped your head on your dad's shoulder as he caressed your hair.

" Sweetie, it doesn't matter if you didn't get a date. There are so many boys out there. Homecoming is a once in a lifetime thing. Its not just about dates and stuff. Its about you having the time of your life with your friends. Think about your friend Michelle. She too doesn't have a date she is going, you know why?! " he asked as he held your cheeks together as you looked like a squishy.

" nmm - Nooo. . " you replied.

" Because she is there to have the time of her life as a teen. Live a little Sweetheart. She needs ya there. She needs he bestie. " he smiled at you making you smile and you held his hand and removing them from your cheeks from squishing them. " Thanks dad. " you said as Tony smiled and pulled you in a hug.

" Tell you what, I'll have your friend fetched here so you could go together. And your mom just called Cinna. ( A/n: Hunger Games. ) He is a great make up artist love and I guarantee, Parker will see an Angel and he will regret not asking you out." he cooed to you as you laughed.

He pulled you out off bed as he told you to get a bath.

" Friday, get that Dress I ordered. Now is the time to make my Princess to shine. " Tony said to the A.I.

Peter was now on his way to Homecoming to school with Liz as her father drove them to school. He was shocked and concerned cause Liz's father is the Vulture himself. He was really uncomfortable through the whole ride.

Meanwhile Michelle paced inside the living room of the Stark's tower as she waited for you. She was so happy that you were coming. Then she heard the sound of a sliding door open. Pepper greeted her with a hug. " I'm ready. " your voice rang throught the two ladies ears as they turned to you and they gasped in shocked and delight.

They finally made it to the destination. Peter greeted Ned inside. Liz had left to go to some friends. " Are Michelle and Y/n coming? " he asked his bestfriend as they looked around. " Well, Mich said they are on their way. Which means Y/n is with her. " Peter smiled at the good news. He was dying to see you.

Then a serious of gasps and awes came from the direction of the entrance. " What going on there? " he asked as Ned shrugged and they walked to the entrance.

" Take care kids. " Happy said with a smile as you and Mich waved goodbye to him as he drove off.

" Soo. . . Lets go? " you asked Michelle as she smiled at you. " Hell Yeah! Lets go binge eating on that buffet. " you laughed at her remark as you both entered. Multiple looks landed on you as you entered the halls of Midtown High. People began to compliment on how you look. Then you two made it to the event area.

Peter and Ned stopped at the Entrance. His gaze landed on the familiar e/c orbs. His mouth dropped at the sight of you.

" Wow. . . " the only word that he could describe you at the moment.

Your eyes roamed around until they landed on the familiar brown orbs staring back at you. You pulled Mich towards the duo with you. " Hey, Losers. " Michelle teased as you laughed and told her to stop her bullying cause its homecoming. Peter couldn't seem to get his eyes off you. You stared back at him as you sent him a smile.

Ned just pushed him, breaking his trance as he almost fell on you. He awkwardly met your gaze. The 4 of you chatted, it was just Ned and Michelle chatting while you and Peter barely said any word. Both were awkwardly giving stares. Mich was pissed, why can't you two hook up now!

" That's it! You two haven't talked go to the dancefloor and dance if you aren't gonna talk. " she scolded as she pushed you and Peter to the dancefloor.

You stared at him awkwardly as did he back. What happened next was quite unexpected. . .

He stretched his hand towards you as you stared at it for a moment then to Peter who was smiling shyly.

" Shall we dance? " he asked, you couldn't help but smile as you took his hand. " Yes We may. "

On que, the music changed its tune.

I found the Love, for me

Darling just dive right in, follow my lead

Peter's eyes never left yours as he slowly pulled you to the dance floor then he placed his hands on your waist slowly at the same time asking your permission to touch you. You answered by placing your hands on his shoulder. You both stopped from a moment then stepped.

We were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was,

I will not give you up this time

You smiled as Peter almost tumbled a little.

" Careful now. Don't want you falling on me. . . " you teased as Peter seem to have already captivated by your smile. " I think I already did. " he said out of nowhere. Your eyes widen as you stared at him. He had an equal look of shock. You sighed thinking maybe you have a chance. You began to circle your arms around Peter's neck as he did the same to your waist. Closing the gap between you.

Darlin' just kiss me slow

Your heart is all I own,

and in your eyes your holdin mine

You both swayed through the music as the gap between you shortened. His forehead had rested on yours, your eyes were closed as you savored the moment, his breath felt hot against your skin. Peter slowly moved his lips up to your forehead and placed a kiss on your head. Your eyes shit open as you met his gaze. He just stared. Unknowingly, his head lowers slowly with his eyes never leaving your eyes.

The moment was perfect. . . Until.

" Peter, There you are. " The voice broke the two of you away from each other. Liz made it to Peter's side as she pressed a kiss on his lips. You looked away with a pained look before speakin. Peter saw and it pained him to see you like that. He wanted to hug you. He wanted to kiss you.

" I gotta go, Mich is waiting for me. Enjoy your moment. Liz, Peter. " you said as you turned away. " Y/n, wait! " he called as you stopped. He didn't want you to leave. You didn't turn and continued to walk away.

You didn't cry. You did feel sad but you were happy you got to dance with Peter even if it was just once. The time passed and you were crowned Homecoming Queen but you didn't participate much. Peter disappear through the crowd. He was probably with Liz doing who knows what.

You got home early. Mich thanked you for joining her. You had her sent home safely. You stood at the terrace of the Avengers Tower in your room. You like having a terrace in your room. You leaned on the rails as you let the Brooklyn wind hit your skin with its ghostly touch. You smiled as you remembered how you and Peter danced. You hummed as you swayed slowly. Remembering that one presious moment.

" Hello Homecoming Queen. " you heard a familiar voice call up behind you making you jump and turn to the direction of the voice. There sat Peter stood in his old Spiderman onesie since your dad took his upgraded one.

" Hello Spiderman, or should I say . . . . . . . Peter Parker. " you revealed as he removed his mask. You smiled at him warmly. " Your Mr. Stark's daughter. I think its quits now. " he said as he walked to your side. You noticed a couple of scratches on his face.

" You had a rough night. " you laughed as you faced him. He laughed at your remark as he looked at you.

" How did it go with Liz. Congratulations! So when is the reception. " you cheered happily even though you feel really hurt. Peter let out a sigh as he looked at you with a hurt look.

" Stop pretending Y/n. And No. I didn't ask Liz out. I've. . . I've come to realize something. " he stated as your expression changed. Peter walked towards you closer than before. He took your hand as you met his gaze. He smiled awkwardly.

" I Love You, Y/n. "

Your eyes widen in shock as you looked at Peter.

" I Love You too Peter. " you said out of nowhere. Peter giggled at your response as your cheeks redenned and looked away in embarassment. You felt his finger lift your chin up to meet his gaze.

" Don't the Homecoming Queen deserve a kiss? " he asked as you smiled at him. " I don't mind, as long as its you. " with that.

Peter closed the gap between his and your lips. Sealing the agreement. Accepting your love and you accepting his. The kiss was slow, passionate, loving and sweet. You can't but smile in it. You two broke away as you placed your hands on his cheeks as a smiled popped on both of your lips. Peter dove down and gave you a quick kiss.

" Oh wait. . . " you said and left Peter's arm and went inside the room and took a big silver briefcase. Peter looked at you. " Dad wanted you to have it back. Don't worry, I fixed everything. " you said as Peter smiled.

" What did you fix? I didn't break anything when I returned this. " he said. You slipped. Peter noticed your expression as he gave you a look. " What did you do? " he asked.

" Well, the A.I of that suit was deleted and. . . . It was my fault. I didn't wanna tell dad so I programmed the suit to have me as the A.I while I fixed KAREN, aka your A.I since you named her that sooooo yeahhhh. " you confessed as you booped your two index finger together as you avoided his gaze.

Peter processed everything until his cheeks reddened after what he has understood. " Then, I've been sharing my - " " Yeah. " you blurted and looked at him.

Peter just sighed but smiled. " Well, atleast I have you now. " he said as you smiled. The night went on of you and Peter dancing under the moonlight, chit chats, laughing, sweet talking and never ending I Love Yous. Savouring every minute and every second together like there was no tomorrow.

The End.
