high school au- they're all 17 (also if anyone knows the artist lemme know so i can give credit)

Peter waves to his aunt before speed walking into school. He found his homeroom and found Ned and slid into an empty seat next to him.

"Dude, you were almost late. And on the first day too." Ned teases. Peter reaches over the space in between desks and flicks Ned on the shoulder.

Peter and Ned met back in kindergarten. Ned was sitting near the garden and Peter sat next to him. They've been friends ever since. In ninth grade, they made two more additions to their little group: MJ, who was grouped with Peter and Ned on a project, and Wade, who helped Peter deal with bullies and was immediately pulled into their group.

"I overslept." Peter says.

"Hey, Parker! How was your break? Did you spend a lot of time with your parents- oh wait. You don't have any." Flash mock pouts, before breaking out in a grin.

"Is that the best you can come up with?" Peter retorts.

"Ooooh, little Parker has some balls on him." Flash taunts.

"Leave him alone, Flash." Ned says and Flash opens his mouth to respond when the teacher raps on his desk three times, his way of saying 'Please stop talking.'

"Saved by the teacher." Flash mutters and turns back around in his desk.

Ten minutes later, a knock sounds on the door and a familiar looking man with a fake mustache and a suit just a bit too baggy walks in.

"The office sent me to pick up Ned Leeds and Peter Parker. They're needed in the library." Once the man starts speaking, it's clear to Peter who the man is, not a man at all, but the final member of their four person friend group, Wade Wilson.

"Alright. Ned, Peter, gather your things." Ned and Peter share a smile before packing up and following Wade out the door.

As they walk, Wade removes his tie and takes off his suit jacket, revealing a Golden Girls t-shirt.

"You do know that it's the first day of school and we probably shouldn't be ditching." Ned comments. "Also, are we getting MJ?"

"MJ's already outside, she had no problem getting up and leaving." Wade says. "Unlike you goody two shoes."

"Hey! We left!" Peter protests.

"After I got you excused." Wade pushes open the doors into the bright sunshine. MJ leans against a tree, her book open.

"What's up, losers." MJ closes her book with a snap and shoves it in her bag. "So, what should we do?"

"Wanna get ice cream?" Wade asks.

"Hell yes." Peter says, grinning. Wade links his arms with Peter and starts skipping down the sidewalk, pulling Peter with him.

"Come on, lovely humans! We're on an adventure!" Wade sings.

"I'm not skipping." MJ says, a grin tugging at her lips.

"Sure." Ned pulls MJ along and links his arms with her and Peter's arms as they walk down the sidewalk towards the nearest ice cream shop.

Peter looks over at Wade, his eyes sparkling and his stomach flutters and a blush spreads across his face.

Oh.

Oh shit.

"-and then we went out for ice cream and went to the park! We played groundies and-"

"Completely forgot about school." Tony interrupts. Peter grins sheepishly. "And now you, Wade, MJ, and Ned all have detention."

"Yeah, but the important thing is I stopped back at the ice cream parlor and got you some." Peter says. He got home around three, holding a togo cup of ice cream for Tony and really hoping that Aunt May hadn't realized he ditched school yet.
