Little Things
Your dark blue dress accented your curves perfectly. The gemstones gave your dress just a little bit of sparkle underneath the dimmed lighting of the venue. The dyed blue rose was wrapped around your wrist, a perfect fit. A silver locket accented your neckline, a perfect reminder of who held your heart, as if you really needed it.
"D-dance with me?" Peter asks as he returns from the DJ section of the prom.
"Of course." You smile at your boyfriend of two years.
Peter took your hand in his as he walked you to the dance floor. He wore an all black suit with a dark blue tie that matched your dress. A boutonniere decorates the right side of his jacket, somehow you even managed not to prick him when you put it on. Peter's hair was slicked back beside the smallest curl that laid against his forehead. His shoes shined almost as bright as your silver heels. You couldn't help but laugh when you'd noticed. You were sure he just kept shining them to try and calm his nerves.
"What song did you request, Parker?" You asked as your heels tapped against the floor, Peter leading you to a clear opening on the dance floor.
"You'll see." He says over his shoulder.
"It's gonna be cheesy, I know it." You muse.
"Maybe." Peter says, a blush crossing his face.
The song changes just as you reach the clearing. The next song comes on and the sound of an acoustic guitar starts echoing the venue that was decorated in the prom theme: happily ever after. Peter releases your hand only to allow his fingers to find your waist and pull you towards him while your arms wrap around his neck.
You smile as you lock eyes with the golden speckled eyes in front of you. "Little Things?"
"Mhm." Peter hums as the two of you sway back and forth, in perfect rhythm with the music. "I-you know I'm not good with words."
"Yeah, you do just fine." You bite the inside of your cheek.
"You think so?" Peter asks.
"Yeah," You answer softly. "So, why this song?"
Peter bites his lip. "Because I love you." A blush radiates through your face and your pulse quickens with the words you'd heard a hundred times before but tonight, tonight they seemed to mean so much more.
Maybe it was the twinkling of the fairy lights surrounding the entire venue. Or maybe the little, fancy glasses with a castle across them that were at every table as a party favor. It could have been the way Peter looked in a suit or how exquisite you looked, and felt for that matter. The song fit the mood and the words hit every beat of your heart. Whatever it was, you felt magical, felt it with Peter in that moment and a simple 'I love you' made you want to melt right into him.
"Like," Peter takes a deep breath, the most fragile smile tugging at his lips. "Really, really, love you. It's everything. You wear bright colors on sunny days and black on days you wished you lived in the south." A small laugh escapes from your mouth as you recall your distaste for the wind that hurts your face. "And the way you tap your thumb against my hand to whatever song you're listening to and you don't even realize it. " Peter chuckles before continuing. "And the way your face lights up when your favorite show comes on." He closes the small space between you and places a chaste kiss to your forehead before resting his forehead against yours. "I love everything about you."
"Peter." You say, trying with everything in you to bite back your smile that completely consuming your face, knowing damn well Peter had rehearsed this over and over in the mirror before picking you up.
"No, no, wait." Peter shakes his head. "Really, I know sometimes, you struggle with things but I love everything about you and I don't know what's gonna happen after graduation but, I'll be there for you, always. I've always loved you and I'll always love you. It's always gonna be you and-" Peter's voice falls soft and timid as his skin itches to pull you closer.
"I love you, too." You respond, pressing your lips softly against his, two hearts beating as one.
