Peter sat on the wall of Castle Wyvern's tallest tower, scratching Bronx behind one of the beast's big, fin-like ears.

He'd resolved to tell Starfire about what he'd been felling, thanks to talking with his older alternate and Beast Boy, assuming she'd actually want to talk to him after he'd run off like he had. Taking out his omnicomm, he sent her a message, and repocketed the device.

"Here's hoping she shows." he said to the beast.

It wasn't long before Starfire floated into view, waving to Peter and his adorable companion. She landed delicately on the roof, looking him over critically.

"Are you hurt, Peter? I have been worried about the thing. It seemed to cause you distress."

"I'm not hurt, there was just something I realized, and I needed to talk to someone about it. Couldn't tell you until I did since it's about you."

Peter sighed, It was now or never.

"I like you. I mean," he edited, just to remove any chance of misinterpretation, "I like you in the way that if I thought I had even the slightest chance, I'd ask you out on a date"

Starfire leaned closer, eagerly anticipating his next words. He was all right, but something about her concerned him. Huh?

...Oh. That worried her. He...liked her? As a girl who is a friend?

This could take some explaining.

"Peter," she sighed, reaching over to take his hand. "Are you sure you do not wish to wait anymore?"

"Sure-ish" he said, waffling just slightly.

"You don't have to say anything right now. I mean, I'd like an answer eventually, but there's no rush or anything. I just wanted to get it out there." Basically, the ball was in her court now.

Starfire looked kind if a little worried, squeezing his hand. "We are both waiting for someone special to us. I do not wish to give up hope yet, but...please know this. You are very special to me."

And she kissed his cheek as softly as she could, almost as light as a feather's touch.

"We will still see each other while I contemplate this, yes?"

[puny-parker.livejournal.com]

"Yup. Like I said. No pressure whatsoever." he reiterated.

Here, Peter, have a hug.

"You will be the first to know when I have decided," she swore. "You do mean so much to me. I have just...not had the time to actively consider this as you have."

She felt guilty about that, but would quickly catch up on that front.
