Surprise - Peter and Liz

[st_hotflashes]

Liz wasn't sure if Peter was going to actually like the surprise she had in mind for him, but she had finished it a few days ago and she was proud of it. Liz was pretty sure he'd like it, but there was always a chance. She hoped now, after a couple of weeks the awkwardness that had been the 'therapy session' with Annie and Mr. Stark, Peter might be in the right sort of mood for it.

She sat on her bed, going over some chemistry homework idly as she waited for Peter to show up.

Peter looks at the ceiling for a second, thinking. "Okay," he says, finally. "Let's work on everyone's gifts this week and as soon as we're done we'll start working on everything for New Year's." Peter has more faith in his ability to get the fireworks taken care of quickly than he does in making the things he wants to make for everyone before the holiday.

She watched him. There were simple moments like this one where Peter would get lost in his head, even for a second or two, and she'd see a glimpse of Peter that she thought was one of her favourite. She couldn't quite explain it, but it was moments like that she felt pulled to him even more.

She smiled, her chest filling with warmth and in a sudden moment of inspiration, she took his unguarded moment to move and sit on top of him, leg on either side. "Sounds like a plan." Her arms went around his shoulders. "But right now, I definitely plan to distract you."

"Yeah?" Peter says, his lips tugging into a smile. "How?"

Peter knew he was just about to find out.
