[Oh god. That look on her face. Peter feels like he's really stepped in it now and is tensed to bolt. Maybe Wanda will know how to fix this, she's a girl. Or maybe she can use her powers to make him forget this entire afternoon. Even better plan.
And then J smiles. Wow. He's not dead in the water yet.]
Nothing like that. Smaller. A kiss? Like, you said, but. If you don't want to or it was a joke- J, you are kind of killing me here.
[The laugh makes him relax, loosens the tension and puts a smile back on his face. He does as she asks, rounding the table at an entirely human pace. He may still be a little wary that he's screwed up and she's going to make him pay for it.
He stands relatively still in front of her, eyes entirely too hopeful.]
[She brings her hand behind his neck, tugging him to come even closer. As much she liked teasing and seeing him squirm she still found this side of him more entertaining.]
Not sure yet. Which one do you think would be more accurate?
[She just finds that stupid grin of his amusing. It's really been ages since she's flirted like this with someone who's closer to her own age. And hey, at least he's staying mostly still now.]
Mmm, I was leaning towards that one too. But-- [And she leans in and kisses him on the cheek. Because that's what boys get.] I'm not still too convinced.
[He hadn't been expecting that, but now he wonders how he didn't see it coming. It startles a laugh out of him, hand squeezing at her side reflexively.]
Is that all I'm going to get until I convince you?
[J stays perfectly still as he leans in, letting him to kiss her. It's pretty endearing to see him being so obviously excited about the kiss but still so shy. He reminds her from a puppy that wants to play but isn't sure if its allowed to.
She doesn't kiss him back but doesn't pull away either, waiting patiently to see just how chaste Peter wants to keep this.]
[Peter pulls back, just a hair, confused that she's not doing anything. She's not stepping away, not hitting him, so he can't imagine that he's read her wrong on this. That all the teasing was for nothing.
He presses back in again, hoping it's just the time discrepancy putting her on a delay and not some joke she's playing on him. He tries harder, hoping to get her to kiss back, to react. And thinking that if it is a joke, which he's going to pretend he's not considering, at least he'll have something good to remember before she starts laughing.]
[Oh, his confusion makes her laugh a little against his lips but not with ill intentions. She parts her lips for him as he leans in for the second time, now responding to it more accordingly but still letting him have the lead here.
She brings her free hand to rest on his shoulder as she moves the other one to tangle his silver hair.]
[Of course a laugh isn't want he wants from someone when he kissing them, but she's responding and that's far more interesting than thinking about the giggle. The reaction, the hand in his hair, both give him some confidence.
He pulls her in tighter, arms encircling her waist. He's responding more aggressively and with a little much enthusiasm.]
[That's much better. While she likes his spirit and enthusiasms it's still rather obvious that Peter didn't have too much experience when it came to kissing. J tries not to let that bother her as she keeps kissing him back, challenging his insensitivity by gently nibbling on his lower lip.
But she eventually breaks their kiss, leans back to sit on the table behind her and tugs him to come closer.]
[When she pulls away, Peter's grinning ear to ear. After a moment he seems to realize how dorky he's being, tries to tamp down on the excitement and play it cool. But it's still in his eyes and he knows he's not doing a good job of hiding it.]
I brought you, like, half the box. And one of the fruity ones. You gonna want more than that?

[There's a lot of hours in a day for him, he's had plenty of time to think about her offer.]

Since you asked so nice.
