"So it's time for the truth to be out there... Are you dating?"

"Peter you're being weird."

"Kyungsoo, you are here for a biology project. No interrupting while I'm working."

"So I'm a trophy wife?"

May sits across from Peter on the sofa, Happy sits as far away as possible as Peter gives them an interrogation. They both answer different, Happy with a 'yes' and May with a 'not really. They look at each other, surprised by their differing response to Peter's question. Peter looks back and forth while May and Happy discuss to one another about the answers they gave.

"Summer fling..."

"Yes, that evolves and grows like any other."

"On or off. But we'll always be friends no matter what."

"who are also part of a unit... interconnected."

Peter interrupts the adults who pay no mind to him, "Look I'm just gonna go - have to study."

"We are." They continue as Peter scurries off, neck down his suit clings to his skin.

He drags Kyungsoo to his room where their school bags lay thrown in random places, as Kyungsoo followed the boy clad in his suit earlier, just to watch him awkwardly sit in front of an adult couple not know what they are. The bag is opened by Kyungsoo as he whips out his pairs biology project.

"Ready to start- Fuck Peter warn me when you get naked!" Kyungsoo turns back to facing his bag as Peter's suit comes off. Waiting for an all clear so he doesn't look like a hormonal teenage pervert. Eye's only taking a sneak peak at the well built body when suitable.

"Sorry. But yes the project, do you have the notes, because I do not."

Kyungsoo sits down on Parker's messy bed, his sweaters scattered on his duvet. Kyungsoo picks them up and folds them up neatly and places them on top of the pillows close to him, noticing that one of his that Peter stole lay amongst the pile. Peter sits at his desk, any books or notes he needs in front him, some web fluid equations fall out before he picks them up and places them in his wardrobe.

Kyungsoo opens his own book to the exact pages needed, diagrams of experiments confusing him with the terrible labelling.

"Here's what I've done so far." Kyungsoo pulls out his laptop to open up a powerpoint with over half of the needed slides. Peter tags it from the boys hands to read it.

"Kyungsoo this is like- like almost finished."

"I mean you have been busy with being a spider and you know other things, so I got bored waiting to meet and for you to come home or the library... so I just did it."

"You sound mad, I'm sorry Kyungsoo, I'll do the rest."

"I'm not mad Peter, just don't say you'll meet at the library at three thirty and make me wait until five thinking maybe next time."

"See you say that and it comes across mad."

"Just forget it Parker. I have the notes highlighted needed for the last quarter. I'll take them back when it's done. Okay?" Kyungsoo gave up trying to get the project done side by side with Peter. He's either be doing Spiderman duties or hanging out with Mj and/or Ned and when he wasn't doing that Kyungsoo would wake up to a message sent at 4 in the morning. It was rare the two spoke or met, even in school there was a rare chance they would converse.

"Come on Kyungsoo, we finally have time together do this, please sit." Peter had stood and rushed in front of the door, his shirt still off, trying to stop the taller boy from leaving. In his hands was the jumper he took from Kyungsoo one time, waiting to put it on. Kyungsoo leaned down to be face to face with the boy, not distracted by Peter's naked torso.

"Do you seriously not like MJ like that?" Kyungsoo held a straight face, no looks of joking in his emotions. Peter stuttered but didn't answer so Kyungsoo continued.

"Do the work, don't message me at four a.m unless it's to say it's fucking finished. Got it?" Kyungsoo was weaker than Peter, super strength really helped Peter out there, but the look on Kyungsoo's face causes Peter to retract, the face that made the whole of Midtown scared he'd beat them with a skateboard. Peter remained in his room, his eyes glancing back to his bed where the boy had been, his voice talking to May was muffled.

"Thank you for having me May, your cookies have improved!"

"Of course Kyungsoo, lovely to see you as always. Thank you and thank you for tingling my flowers alive again." Kyungsoo's chuckles hit Peter's ears.

Peter just let out a defeated sigh has hit front door closed shut, any chance of Petesoo (as Ned had tried to call them) from happening, platonic or not, it was a dying flame already.

"So he just left you with the work."

"Yes Ned, he looked so fed up with me. Hard to believe it but I've never been on the receiving end of that scary glare he does. Yes he used to have little quips thrown at me but he just smiled and winked at me. Ned he looked like he hated me." Peter fiddled with his backpack strap as Ned grabbed heavy books from his locker. Midtown wasn't full yet as the boys were earlier than usual. Ned's head turned to Peter seeing exactly who they were talking about plus his two friends.

"Penis Park- Ow stop hitting me." Flash could be heard as his volume for Parker picking was always loud for anyone in his vicinity to listen to him.

"Oi! Pantless Parker."

"Why doesn't he get hit Yoo?" The tallest of them just looked at Flash with a look of tiredness. Brad just continued as they got closer to the two at the locker, too late to flee without looking obvious. "Did you hear that Kyungsoo captured a certain Elle Michael's attention, asked him on a date Parker, you can't even get MJ," Brad's arm went around Peter's shoulder as they sagged at the words, "I think he should say yes, tell him he should say yes."

"I uh, he can, he can say yes if he wants to." Peter refused to look over to Kyungsoo though Kyungsoo's eyes were solely on him, he didn't want to meet them, not at this moment.

"See! Parker knows!" The halls started to get fuller as time got closer to the tutor group time, so the group of boys split off on their own ways, Peter's eyes begging Ned to stay as he shared this with Kyungsoo and Kyungsoo alone.

"I'll go-" Peter was grabbed back to Ned's locker. Kyungsoo didn't let go until the halls were empty after the late bell. "Kyungsoo come one, I can't be late."

"Did you mean it? Did you mean anything you have to said to me ever?"

"Wh-What?"

"London, you said you liked me and you even kissed me but the minute we hit American soil you ignore me and tell me to say yes to Elle Michael asking me out. Parker I'm starting to think I was a fling for you and fuck I hope I'm wrong in that. I didn't start any of this but I sure as hell want to be the one to finish it and have you be the one fucked over not me."

"I don't know what to say Kyungsoo, I'm late-" Kyungsoo pushed Peter's back into the lockers when he tried to leave.

"For a guy with such a pretty face, your words and your personality right now are ugly."

"You liked this personality in- in Europe."

"No Peter, in Europe you were like a cute little angry hamster! You lied sure but you lied about Spiderman and you apologised for every little thing, god you apologised for kissing me suddenly at Heathrow airport when all I wanted to do was smother you in kisses. Why won't you talk to me?" Kyungsoo was voice was desperate

"You're a different - a different person here. On the trip we were just Kyungsoo and Peter, but when we came to school the first Monday back I realised here you were The Yoo and I was just a guy who built Star Wars lego with Ned." Peter stayed looking down at his feet, his eyes only meeting when Kyungsoo used his hands to lift the boys face. Peter was quite taken aback by how close the taller leaned into him. All the boy did was give a slight peck to Peter's lip before their tutor could see them kissing in an empty hall. "Later please Petey? Can we please sit down and talk to one another?"

Peter missed Kyungsoo's lips, the last taste being in a completely different country a month ago. All his rosey face could do was nod at the guy he was obsessed with.

"Mr Hogan said you can use whatever we want to see what you can do. A guy called Barnes, I think it was that, suggested his training facility but that's too far and I don't want you out of school."

Eric spoke up before Kyungsoo could get his opinion in, "Barnes? Like the James Buchanan Barnes? He's like Cap's best friend and we could have met him but you said no for stupid Midtown High? Damn Jae, you're fired as brother, come on Kyungsoo let's meet the Winter Soldier."

"For once I agree with Eric."

"Both of you shut it! I'm talking and me only!"

Both of the younger of the Yoo family sat on the large sofa in front of Jae, looking like children being scolded by their parent's for not finishing the vegetables at dinner.

"After that mess of a school trip, your abilities have come to light to you, ones I didn't know of and me and Eric knew more than you did, but you said Tony Stark knew everything and more. He kept it in the files which I'm kind of thankful for but he could have given us a heads up."

"A pair of glasses said you knew of my full extent? Wait... you knew more than me?" Eric spoke up this time because Jae will find an excuse that will offend the youngest Yoo.

"Well kind of, we knew about you being elemental based so, earth, fire water and air. Don't look at me like that Kyunggie, we just knew that, not this absorbing, this storm like thing you've got going, and as you call it 'bean stalk' thing, which is so cool by the way."

"I knew almost everything. I put everything in my own file, Stark asked for it. I gave it to him and he kept researching into you, especially after the Hydra tests. The only thing he knew that I didn't was that you could control it but it would knock you out cold, that's what I wish he told me."

"Are you lying to me right now? You knew this whole time! Why now? Why not before?" Kyungsoo rose from his seat, anger seeping through his body as he stalked to his brother.

"You didn't want to know! I didn't want you to know! After the Hydra mishap a few years back, I thought the less you knew the less likely it would happen again, we moved from York to New York to get away from that. I didn't want to lose you over something you can't control."

"You said we moved for our parent's work."

"Stark may have helped with that."

"I can't even voice my questions right now. So many to ask. To shout at you. Why does every fucking body lie to me that I care about." Kyungsoo was losing his mind, he understood where his brother was coming from, but what if one day something happened and he couldn't contact Jae, almost like in Prague where his body almost gave up with the electricity absorbing.

"Kyunggie, please. When you have calmed we can talk through this all, any questions any worries, if I know I'll answer this time."

"You better because this has taken the piss Jae and you know it."

Eric didn't like watching the two people he loved most in the world argue like they could punch one another in the face, "I made ramen."

The two in a heated argument twisted to the brother on the sofa.

"Instant Ramen is not a boast Eric."

"Shut up do you want to starve? Actually, yeah you can both starve if you disrespect my water boiling skills. Sorry I didn't have time to make Sam Gae Tang, you called a bloody family meeting. Also when I make Sam Gae Tang, invite that boy that always wears sweaters that you like!"
