5 gifts peter got for mj and 1 she gave him

im still alive bishes haha. am i really just choosing to participate in a different prompt that i barely have anything planned out for instead of finishing the one i was late in following up on? yes i am. prep urselves for some gift giving spideychelle to develop their relationship pre-ffh hehe

after hoco and peter starts to gain a work spidey life balance, he finally starts to notice that mj apparently... cares... about... him???

it wasn't obvious at first, hidden under a layer of deadpan sarcasm and witty comebacks, but the interest seemed to be there

which was why every time peter would miss a meeting, he'd actually feel bad this time because he really did want to be there this time

he'd feel terrible every time mj would ask him where he was, why he didn't show up. she was hoping he'd show and he let her down.

the first couple of times it happens, mj's understanding enough.

but it happens a couple of times too often and back to back and something snaps

you see, peter and mj have developed a bit of a rapport over the couple of months after hoco.

peter finds out mj likes coffee and tea, she read a stephen king book one time, he noticed, and they talked basically all week about king (and some of the issues surrounding him, his work, and their adaptations ofc)

soon enough their talks extend beyond school and they start meeting up in the library, at their places, at coffee shops, pizza places, an arcade one time where mj managed to beat peter at air hockey. her lil energetic whoop and almost doing a victory dance (before realizing she was in public) was worth losing for.

but admittedly, peter was just a tinge bit stressed and overextended and he unfortunately let his time with mj fall by the wayside.

he'd accidentally left her at seen for days after he completely forgot she sent him a message. she called, he answered, a robber was currently running away from some cops, he hung up on her...

suffice it to say, peter became a bit of a bad friend and he completely understood why mj reverted back to their previous relationship, he did it first

which was why peter decided enough was enough

mj has been a great friend to him, a true one, and an underappreciated one at that

which was why he decided he'd spend as much time, effort, and thoughtful gestures necessary trying to make it up to her

problem was, they were currently on clipped one word reply speaking terms right now. mj barely looked at him, she went back to sitting all the way to the other side of the farthest table during lunch again...

he needed a way in

so he went back to basics, the next day, he knew mj had a 7 am class so peter went to school at 7 am too, just to give mj some much needed caffeine

trouble was, was that mj was running late and when he gave the coffee, she left just as quick as she came

she said a quick "thanks, parker" and swoosh she sprinted to class

and peter was left there with 3 hours to spare til his next class. oh well, at least the effort made her do that quick lil toothy smirk

his efforts would work eventually won't it?

but if an omniscient narrator were watching him for the following days, they probably would have said no, no they wouldn't

one of those days, peter brought a thermos of tea only to find that mj had brought her own

"great, i thought the point of these gifts were to make things less awkward between us" peter thought to himself as he winds up walking away in slight shame from the awkward interaction

he winds up sharing the thermos with ned instead, who promptly responded "wow i get your secondhand gifts, you sure know how to make a guy feel special, peter"

"shut up, ned, do you want some or not?"

"no, come on, give it to me. free drinks are free drinks even if it's essentially just warm leaf juice. besides, i heard this helps with a sore throat."

"well, at least someone's happy with my gift"

they clink their cups together and peter begins brainstorming his next probably bound to fail gift idea

as he was walking home from school that day, and saw mj heading to the library, said idea lights up in his head in the form of bookmarks

those were cute right? and mj would probably use em all the time cus she reads so much and she reads multiple books at a time, so she'd probably use multiple bookmarks as well, right?

bookmarks it was, peter decided

he thought he'd print a bunch of personalized ones. ones that were photos of them, had quotes from significant historical female figures, and of course science puns

he knew mj didn't appreciate them as much as he did, but a part of him thought she'd like them nevertheless and would think of him when she'd use them

peter knew this gift giving crusade would be... heavy on his wallet, but as he stared at the price for laminating a couple of personalized bookmarks. he concluded lamination was a scam and believed mj would be careful enough with her books, and consequently, her bookmarks, to not need some flimsy piece of plastic to protect it

so peter opted for some folders and cardboard to make said bookmarks instead

it's only later after he got tossed into a sewer by a dude in a mechanized rhinoceros suit that he learned a valuable lesson: always laminate bookmarks

ok he was kidding (lamination was still a scam and bad for the environment and you couldnt write on the things after you laminate em)

but really tho, he did learn something. he realized he hasn't had the best of luck keeping his gifts intact in time to give said gifts to mj

so he decided to employ reinforcements

once peter's saved enough money to buy his next gift (a sketch notebook that he saw at a cutesy old crafts store), he decides that he should take ned with him when he buys it and that ned should just give it to mj instead

(better safe than sorry)

but peter still wanted mj to know the gift was from him tho, so he decided to write a letter and insert it within the notebook.

so he writes, or more like incoherently rambles and apologizes really

but peter thinks he got to the crux of the importance their relationship had to him and really, he just wanted to make things up to mj

that's what mattered

here's the thing tho, halfway thru writing said letter, he realized that having ned give it to her was kind of a cop out.

not to mention, not giving it personally but writing this long ass sort of confessional letter?

pfftt peter liked to think he was better than that

talk about sending mixed messages

so peter decided that he would still have ned keep the notebook and the letter, right up until the point that he was going to give the gifts to her.

and finally, peter parker, in this whole gift giving crusade, is finally given a fucking break.

at lunch time, the three of them are now all sitting at the same table

(peter and mj's relationship have mostly improved in the time it took him trying to give all those gifts, but he still felt guilty and he still wanted to show his appreciation for her)

ned "slyly" (mj saw it, how sly could he have been?) passes peter the notebook under the table

and peter braces himself

"i can do this" he repeatedly quietly mutters to himself until he finally approaches

"hey, mj"

"greetings, parker" casually replies mj without so much as looking up from her book

"i uh... got you something"

"is it something ned gave you?"

"what?"

"cause if it is, he can give it to me himself, you know" says mj in a semi shout to ned as well (ned looks at peter with a facial expression that said dude wtff?? how did i get in the middle of this???)

"what? no no no this isn't from ned. i bought you this."

"so why did ned have it?" says mj in her cool suave investigator mj interrogatory tone

"well..."

peter had officially maybe five? six? seconds to decide whether to share his embarrassing tales of failed gift giving woes to mj or to make up something on the spot

screw it, embarrassing failed gifts it was instead. truth shall set you free and all that, right? plus maybe it'd help him practice for when he tells her his biggest secret

peter sighs in defeat and tells mj in an almost quiet mumble "all my other gifts were destroyed when i kept them so i decided to have ned keep them instead"

"i'm sorry what?"

"it's just that the last time i tried to get you a gift, it just wound up getting ruined so i thought i'd just have ned hold onto it until it was time to give it to you."

peter can barely look mj in the eyes, the cafeteria just seems so interesting all of a sudden.

"oh"

that made peter look back at mj cus she seemed... shocked?

mj is.... shocked????

"soo... you bought that... for me?"

and god forsake peter parker because mj just gave him the cutest shyest little happy smile that he never knew she was capable of having.

"yeah yeah i did" and peter finally gets to give mj his gift/s (im counting the letter as the 5th gift cus im lazy af hahaha) and all the other trials and errors and failed gift attempts completely made the end result worth it

until ofc mj opens the damn thing and finds said letter that peter had completely forgotten at the moment was there

"what's this??" mj asks in an overly sarcastic teasing tone that kinda makes peter want to die

as mj opens the letter right there during lunch in the school cafeteria, peter suddenly lunges to block said letter's contents from mj's sight

"petet what the hell are you doing?" asks mj with the sweetest laughter that peter would totally googoo eyes about at any other moment had he not been focused on trying (and obviously failing) to keep his dignity intact

"uhhh can i ask that you just read that some other time, mj? and uh not right here, right now, in the cafeteria? it's just really embarrassing" peter shyly requests of mj, scratching his neck and looking at everything in the cafeteria but her

to that, mj simply has a sympathetic look on her face in reply

"sure, peter" says mj with a reassuring smile

and with that, peter breathes a big sigh of relief and finally lets go of his feelings letter for mj

mj closes the notebook up, keeping the letter safe inside it in the process, and secures the notebook safe inside her bag inmediately

suffice it to say, for mj, that notebook is precious cargo and she shall treasure it as much as she is capable of treasuring something

because peter parker felt guilty over not getting to spend time with her as much as they did and kind of pushing her to the sidelines and so it was just a genuine thoughtful gesture that showed peter valued their friendship/relationship as much as she valued it

PRECIOUS. CARGO.

but speaking of said cargo...

"hey peter"

"yeah?"

peter had gone back to his seat right next to ned

"sooo what was the other gift you tried to give me?" asks mj, getting back to their playful teasing banter ways

mj's question sends peter facepalming himself with the table

"don't think i've forgotten about that, i'm probably not going to stop investigating til i find out so might as well just spill the truth, parker"

peter stops his repetitive headbanging onto the table and sighs

"fine, mj"

and peter goes on to explain his bookmarks idea beginning all the way from the thermos incident

the three of them spend the rest of their lunch looking at the photos peter was going to use for the bookmarks, fondly recalling memories upon looking back at the some of the photos and laughing at all the corny science puns peter had planned on using as well

things were finally back to normal, if not better than ever.

time for some cliche corny af happy end quote ending about how their friendship and the memories they shared together was the real gifts they had buuuttt i did mention mj would be giving peter a gift didnt i? soooo mj pov epiloooggguuueeeee

here's the thing, mj had an inkling peter parker was trying to attempt something

he was at school at the same time as her crack of dawn class and gave her some much needed caffeine

he tried to share his thermos of tea with her

it seemed like peter was trying to make amends and it really was sweet and thoughtful so ofc lil by lil she began to soften back

but as mj was printing the bookmarks peter had planned to give her

mj requisitioned the idea for herself since they actually were good ideas if she's being honest

tho she would never tell peter that, ESPECIALLY the science puns one

she'd reserve those for only when she's at home, the least likely place peter could ever see her use that

ok so back to- as mj was printing said bookmarks, she began to appreciate peter's thoughtfulness

and it is totally not because of any feelings said gifts and gift attempts gave her

but right now, as she had finished printing bookmarks and got nostalgic and reread the letter of peter confessing to her how much their relationship meant to him again, she suddenly had the unscratchable itch of needing to sketch peter

and a balancing of the scales gift idea was born

because you see, rn, peter had the upper hand in terms of the morality of their friendship and mj couldnt have that nooo

mj was sketching a screen cap of a video she took of the class while they were waiting for a professor and peter gave her that impossibly adorkable smile

because she HAD TO

she couldnt let peter hog all the gift giving glory

she didnt do it because of feelings or whatever ppfftt

this was just to balance the scales, mkayyyy???

or at least that's what mj told herself once she's finished her sketch and proceeded to look for all her old ones of peter

just to even things out

and that's exactly what mj told him as she shoved said sketches that were currently inside a plastic envelope onto peter's hands

(1. less likely for them to be ruined that way. 2. she was not going to have those sketches out in the open for everyone to plainly see wtf)

"this is just to make things even between us, no need to make a big deal about it"

peter was in awe for a while, his jaw slightly dropped, but he smiles in adoration of the girl of his dreams and gives a genuine "thank you, mj"

"you're welcome, peter."

mj even smiles a little before the bell rings and she hightails out of there

mj lightly sprints away, still slightly in shock and unsure of what she just did and what just happened

while peter is left looking at mj's direction fondly and looking back at her gift for him

and as he peeked inside the envelope to see its contents and saw all those sketches of him

peter felt like he truly didn't deserve someone like mj

and he felt like all the gifts in the world he could think of and muster up wouldn't be able to make up for that fact

holy fucking shit i cant believe i actually finished one of these things again. it's like pulling fucking fingernails and teeth at the same time, i tell you

but honestly i'm just really really happy i finished it and it's so pure and fluffy imo and nothing im just. i love these two sm.

this fic was supposed to be for 5+1 things day but since they're also a bunch of headcanons i like to think i'm just posting these in advance for headcanons day tomorrow hahahaha

Baby, You’re Beautful | Pt 2

Summary - Namjoon finally meets his soulmate... mates?

Genre - Fluff with a lil angst??

A/N - I AM SO SO SORRY IT TOOK ME FAR TOO LONG TO GET THIS OUT IM SORRY! I do take requests! Also I have included the boards for everyone, as I imagine them right here.

Part 1

Namjoon struggles with self image (that was at least one factor of it all), and yeah who didn’t dislike how they looked from time to time? (Seokjin hyung but that is besides the point) Yeah sure, okay maybe he handled it a bit worse than others did… Namjoon self-harmed yeah, but he made sure he did it where he could hide it and so that his soulmate could too. His soulmate probably hated him, probably thought he was an asshole for destroying both their bodies. (Even if the scars were only faint on the other’s body)

Seokjin, his roommate, doesn’t know. Or at least if he does know he hasn’t told or fussed over Namjoon and Namjoon appreciates it if that is the case. Namjoon mostly let himself believe he hid it well. He hated worrying people, especially Seokjin, and he didn’t want to feel worse about all of this .

Namjoon knew Seokjin might try to fight him if the elder ever found out where he went on Friday nights. Namjoon was very clumsy, so much so that Seokjin has made it a point of keeping all breakable things up high, not letting Namjoon cook, and even adding protectors to the sharper corners of furniture.

‘Think of it like Namjoon-proofing the house!’ Seokjin smiled and looked at Namjoon

‘That sounds like baby-proofing’

‘I can make you walk around in a helmet and knee pads.’

‘Oh god no please.. Namjoon proof it but please no helmet!’

So Namjoon made it a point to never tell his hyung about how he went out skateboarding, in the dark sometimes, on Friday nights with some friends.

“Joon’s here!” Hoseok yelled from the bottom of the bowl, a grin plastered on his face. Taehyung stood at the outside edge of the same bowl, obviously about to do something stupid, and Yoongi was focused on learning a new trick on the half-pipe. Namjoon waved, a content smile set upon his lips, and set off to practice newer stuff before the sun completely set. Namjoon, as cliche as it sounds, is his happiest on Friday nights. He’s surrounded with his closest friends (minus Seokjin) and his favorite activity, and he always leaves feeling happy and relaxed for once.

The sun had been down for a good twenty minutes, the group of four sat on top of one of the taller ramps, takeout in hand.

“So do you guys remember the kid Jimin that I had mentioned last week? The modern ballet kid?” Hoseok spoke up, setting his chopsticks in his container.

All three responded with some form of a grunt, mouths full of food.

“Well I also met this new kid, Jeongguk, and he’s really good too! Just turned 18 and he’s a modern kid. Anyways, him and Minnie are soulmates,” he smiled a bit, “and get this, they also skate. I feel like they would really fit into our group… so I was thinking of maybe bringing them along Wednesday?”

Wednesday was usually when everyone, except Namjoon due to his university schedule, met up in the afternoon to skate.

“But then Joonie can’t meet them!” Taehyung said pouting

“Yeah I realized that.. But I felt like maybe if you two liked them that Namjoon would too?”

“Iff fn whh mng nmmgnn mhm whh if.” Yoongi mumbled incoherently, still stuffing his face with food. Hoseok and Tae looked to Namjoon.

“He said that it’s fine with him if I’m okay with it. Which I am. If you like them then bring them next Friday too.” Namjoon translated his hyung’s muddled words and received a nod from said hyung, and the others will never understand how he does it.

Wednesday rolled around and Namjoon woke up confused and slightly hurt. He woke up with not just one, but a line of hickeys going down his neck. Obviously Namjoon hadn’t been with anyone the night before, so the only other option was that his soul mate had gotten at least half action. Technically Namjoon had no good reason to be upset because who knows how far apart he was from the other, but it still kind of felt like he was being cheated on. Jin gave him a weird look when he first left his room, but the look Namjoon gave him and the way he angrily wrapped a scarf around his neck Jin knew he shouldn’t push. Namjoon spent all day in that damned scarf.

Friday snuck up quick and Yoongi and Taehyung had deemed the new couple worthy of joining the Friday night skate. Namjoon hurried out the door, thankful that Fridays were when Seokjin chose to stay out later, board in hand and set off to the park. He was a bit pressed over the fact that he had gained not only more hickeys, but they also trailed down his abdomen, he hoped tonight would distract him from the marks.

They all arrived in their usual order, Hobi and Tae first (“it’s only so we can make out in the bowl and scare away the kids!” Tae received a hard smack to his shoulder from Hoseok), Yoongi arriving next with a coffee in his hands (“I have night classes you fucks, I woke up like 30 minutes ago” was his only excuse), and Namjoon last because he was flat out just bad at time management.

“OH SHIT IS OUR LITTLE JOONIE GETTING LAID?” Taehyung hollered at the top of his lungs from the bottom of the bowl, he seemed to have switched positions with hoseok since last Friday.

“First off!” Namjoon jumped off his board and slid himself to the bottom of the bowl, “I’m your hyung, punk. And second, no but my soulmate probably is.” he gritted out, tone showing signs of annoyance bubbling.

“Aw what the hell! I get it sex drive is something that needs to be satiated but they couldn’t settle for the hand?” Hoseok called from the edge of the bowl.

“I call bullshit!” Yoongi yelled from next to Hoseok.

Namjoon shrugged.

“I’m trying to ignore it.. Where are the new kids? Chicken out?”

“Up here old man!” a voice from behind Namjoon called out, and provoked Namjoon into turning.

“Excuse me but who are you calling old ma-” He looked at the two, beautiful, boys in front of him and almost collapsed. Both donned the same hickeys that he did, and it seemed like the shorter one realized too as he brought a hand up to cover his mouth, eyes going wide.

“Oh fuck…” Yoongi muttered quietly, Namjoon heard the three get up and leave but he didn’t care to turn and see. He kept his eyes on the boys that were now joining him in the bowl, inspecting his neck.

“Namjoon right?” the taller asked “I’m Jeongguk, this is Jimi-”

“Why do you hurt yourself?” Jimin asked bluntly with tears in his eyes, Namjoon swore then and there he would never cause that sight ever again.

“I-I…” Namjoon stuttered out weakly, only to be enveloped in a hug from both boys.

Tears slowly fell from Namjoon’s eyes. He knew he was hurting his soulmate, well soulmates, but he never expected their reaction to be somewhat.. Positive?

All three sat in the bottom of the bowl for a few minutes before deciding to talk more another day, and skate tonight. The other three were just sitting in the half-pipe waiting anyways.

So the day after, Seokjin didn’t question the unusually large smile on Namjoon’s face nor did he ask anything when Namjoon shyly asked if he could cook for 2 more that night. He was just happy to see Namjoon not hurting so much.

-------

Since that night, Namjoon has spent most of his free time with his boyfriends, and eventually moved in with them. Seokjin, while sad to see him go, was happy for him. He was also happy because that meant less food to cook being that his boyfriend had moved in with them recently.

He woke up every morning to at least one boyfriend cuddled into his chest, and on most days, the other there too. All three of them would cook breakfast, agreeing that it was more entertaining than efficient but they didn’t care.

He went to all of Jimin and Jeongguk’s dance performances, showered them in love and support, and in return they showered him in praises and love whenever he finished writing a song. They worked well together. They learned how each handled certain feelings, Jimin choosing to cry when he got stressed while Jeongguk took to more time at the gym, and Namjoon let it all build up and ignored it until he became too overwhelmed to even hold a pen. They talked out their arguments, they handled almost all fights well. Sometimes one would have to leave for a night but it always was reconciled by morning. They were all truly in love and the didn’t really care about the stares they got when they went out in public. They were happy and that’s what mattered to them.
