[Sorry, if Peter looks over, Leo is just staring at him dumbstruck and absolutely smitten.]

I know. And the pizza is good, so definitely go in on that.

[heyunderoos]

[Seeing that look on Leo's face makes Peter laugh a little. His blush starts to fade.] Yeah, pizza- Here.

[He grabs the first slice, placing it on one of the serving plates. Miraculously he didn't stick! A victory!

He pushes the plate towards Leo. His smile warms up further, just a little lovestruck.]

[neonleon]

[He's just! Staring at Peter, watching him with that smile until the plate is shoved at him.

Oh, he was - gonna get his own but. He'll slide the plate closer.]

Thanks... I, um. For the record? I'm glad this worked out.

[heyunderoos]

Yeah, me too. I've... liked you for a while. [He manages to get his own slice to work on.]

You're really cute, and funny, and... [He's going to silence himself by taking a bite of pizza.]

[neonleon]

[He was halfway through a bite himself but stops when Peter stops.]

And what?

[heyunderoos]

[He hadn't expected Leo to ask a follow-up. Peter uses his chewing time to actually find the words.]

and, I've been wanting to just hold your hand for a long time. Like, date you, more than one date I mean. [Ambitious? Yes, but he is clearly smiten.]

[neonleon]

[Leo finishes his slice while Peter talks before just. Leaning his chin on his hand, halfway over the table grinning at him.]

You like meeee.

[heyunderoos]

[And the blush is back at full force. He shied away from that kind of question from Mikey and April, but actually being able to tell Leo himself feels freeing.]

Yeah, yeah, I- I really do.

[neonleon]

[He almost looks giddy at the admission.

Brother teasing is one thing, and hearing this kinda stuff from their dad is an automatic conversation shut down. But doing this, having this conversation with Peter alone like this? Exactly right.]

Cool. Cause I like you too.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter is just delighted by the sentiment. His smile is practically blinding with how bright it is.]

Do- we- do you wanna be my boyfriend? [They haven't even gotten through the first date. They've barely started eating. Peter is just smitten and excited.]

[neonleon]

[Did Peter want to finish saying the word 'boyfriend', because before he even gets to the 'nd' part-]

Yes.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter is smiling so wide, he wiggles a little in his seat, just wanting to do something with this energy and unable to get it out.]

When we're not eating, we can- hold hands again.

[neonleon]

Oh my god you've got it so bad for me.

[It's less mean teasing and more absolute delight.]

Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

[heyunderoos]

I think it's mutual. [Peter says easily enough, feeling assured enough by Leo's reaction to tease him very lightly back.]

[neonleon]

[FAKE GASP, HAND TO CHEST.]

Are you accusing moi of having feelings for you? Who told you that secret?

[heyunderoos]

[And Peter is laughing a little.]

I feel like you did. Like, two seconds ago.

[neonleon]

Wow. I'll have to get on that guy for spilling the beans.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter laughs again, the sound bright and happy. He can't put into words just how he feels, not when he feels like he could burst from so many good feelings twisting together.

He sets his pizza down on its plate, his impulsiveness coming to the forefront as he shifts to sit up and lean across the table. His elbows clatter a bit clumsily against the tabletop as he manages to not slip.

He kisses Leo's nose gently.

It's awkward, quick, a bit misaimed on his part given the fact he has to lean across the table, but he tried.

He sinks back into his seat, turning pink at his ears.]

[neonleon]

[It's a good laugh. It's a laugh Leo would do a lot of things to keep going, make sure Peter always laughs like that.

Distracted enough by it that he doesn't see Peter scooching closer, nor get in his space for that quick kiss to his nose-

Oh. Oh that- Hm. He had not accounted for that possibility right now and he is rethinking all the variables here, even as his own face starts turning a darker blueish red shade of his own blush.]

So. Yeah. Um. [Nervous why is he nervous they just agreed to this together so why-] Yep.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter settles back down, just smiling at Leo. He picks up his own slice again to actually eat it.]

Sorry, if that was too much. [Seeing Leo being shy makes Peter feel a little more emboldened.] I just... I like you.

[neonleon]

No, uh. It's- Fine. One hundo percent, perfectly fine.

[heyunderoos]

[He giggles a little. He just eats his pizza, polishing off the slice easily.]

Maybe- after we can- you know? Kiss too?

[Peter is hopeful for that.]

[neonleon]

[He's ready to agree to whatever, Peter likes him, he likes Peter, this is working out-

And then the words actually process and he's nervous. Haha oh man uh.]

If- If you want? [That realization setting in that Peter is human and he is very much not.]

[heyunderoos]

[Peter can see the nervousness sticking around. He expected bravado in response. It makes Peter's brows pinch together.]

I mean, only if you wanna. Sorry, I shouldn't be... I shouldn't make you feel rushed.

[The fact kissing won't quite work exactly as expected given their species difference hasn't occurred to Peter yet.]

[neonleon]

I definitely do, you can quote me on that later.

Just, uh. Maybe something to talk about after here?
