Need to Know I (Peter Parker x Reader)
Tumblr media
Inspired by Doja Cat's "Need to Know"
Summary: When she was ready to get back out on the dating scene after dumping a certain Winter Soldier, Y/N was a woman ready to get back out there. She just never expected to find herself in a relationship with a certain nerdy spider.
Warnings: older woman/younger man, small age gap, everyone is adult age!, cheater Bucky, fratboy Peter, consensual sex, semi public sex, heavy smut, drinking, swearing, unprotected sex Look at Masterlist for more warnings
Dividers by @firefly-graphics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part 1
TWO MONTHS AGO
Y/N downed the shot of tequila that Tony had passed her, laughing as she felt the burn in her throat and hearing Tony cheering. Say what you want about Tony, but he knew how to party as he had taken them to some nightclub that he bought for shits and giggles.
"Enjoying the burn", Tony teased, Y/N laughed.
"It's the tequila sweats that I hate", she said back.
Standing up from the little VIP booth Tony had rented for them all, Y/N scoped out her surroundings. She saw Nat dragging a bashful Steve to the dance floor, Steve was awkwardly moving around before he finally got the hang of it and began dancing with Nat. Y/N laughed as she watched Steve get down on the dance floor, she spotted Vision (who had his human form on) with Wanda near the bar as Wanda was getting another drink.
"Are you having fun?"
Y/N looked in the direction to see Peter standing there with a grin, Y/N smiled back at him.
"I wondered where you were", Y/N responded, "I always forget your 21."
"My babyface makes it that way", Peter joked.
Y/N had to admit, Peter Parker was a very attractive man, especially right now with his hair gelled back, a white button down that had the sleeves rolled up and dark slacks. Tony said Peter had changed a lot since high school, having managed to join a fraternity in his first year of college; she had only met Peter in the last year so hearing that he was anything but confident before was a little shocking since he walked around like a little mini Tony sometimes.
Peter moved a little closer to her as Tony announced that he was going to join Wanda at the bar.
Sam and Clint were missing, both men having taken some time off to go visit their families, especially for Sam since he wanted to be there for one of his nephew's birthdays.
Although, the person that everyone seemed to ignore that wasn't there was a certain Winter Soldier, but it seemed everyone was on the rocks with the man at the moment. But cheating and immediately bringing around the girl you cheated with will do that, won't it?
Of course that was the main reason behind Tony bringing nearly all of them out to the club was because of her confiding in Tony about being ready to get back out there. She felt no issue confiding in Tony considering how close of friends they were, she was coming out in his upcoming wedding to Pepper in just a few months time.
"It's a cute babyface", Y/N teased, Peter chuckled.
"I'm glad you're having fun", Peter said, "you deserve it."
Y/N smiled as she tugged up the neckline of her red mini dress, the fabric clinging to her large breasts and hips. It was an off the shoulder dress that she chose just for the occasion with long sleeves and paired with some red bottoms that Nat was letting her borrow.
Y/N watched as Peter looked a bit indecisive as if he was second guessing himself before he blurted out, "Would you like to dance?"
"Don't you think you should be dancing with someone your own age?" she teased before Peter snaked a toned arm around her hips.
"Age is just a number, right?" Peter answered with a wink.
Y/N felt surprised, she was older than Peter by 7 years and she wouldn't be an idiot to say she hadn't noticed the younger man's eyes occasionally roaming her figure. But she never thought much of it considering she had been in a relationship with Bucky, but that bridge was burned a lot time ago.
She was here to have fun, dance a little, drink... there was no harm in just a dance, right?
"Alright, Spiderboy", Y/N said, "show me what you got."
~
Wanna know what it's like (like) Baby, show me what it's like (like) I don't really got no type (type) I just wanna fuck all night
The sound of Doja Cat singing could be heard even in the women's restroom, the door locked in a rush as Peter pressed her harder into said door. Their tongues dancing across one another as she could taste the alcohol on his tongue, Y/N moaned as Peter slotted his knee between her legs, pressing against her wet cunt and beginning to rock her hips against him.
But Peter pulled his knee away and she whimpered, breaking the kiss for a moment before she felt one of his hands trail under her dress, finding her thong.
"You're soaked", Peter teased, she shuddered as Peter ran a finger down her slit. "I bet I could slid right in."
As if that was his cue, Peter slid a finger into her, Y/N let her head fall into Peter's chest as he slowly began to pump his finger in her.
"Don't tease", she moaned as she brought his face down to hers.
What's your size? (Size) Add, subtract, divide ('vide) Daddy don't throw no curves (curves) Hold up, I'm goin' wide (wide) We could just start at ten (ten) Then we can go to five (five) I don't play with my pen (pen) I mean what I write
She connected their lips again as Peter slid another finger into, fingering her harder now as he began to rub her clit in tight circles. Y/N cried out at the sensations as she rocked her hips in time with Peter's movements.
Peter began to trail kisses down her neck as her eyes rolled back into her head, her mouth falling open as pants escaped her mouth.
"Fuck you're beautiful", Peter said as he quickened his fingers. "Come on, Y/N, cum on me."
Y/N felt like she was in the Twilight Zone right now, but fuck it, she was enjoying it with the way Peter was fingering her. She could feel that tight knot building in her as Peter's fingers reached an area in her that made her nearly tear up in pleasure, his fingers practically massaging it as she began to tug on his hair as her toes began to curl.
"P-Peter", she panted, "gonna...cum..."
She saw Peter grin in satisfaction as her orgasm hit her like a freight train. She felt breathless and fuzzy as Peter fingered her through it before she whimpered at the overstimulation, which Peter pulled his fingers out.
"Still think I should find someone my own age?" Peter teased, she narrowed her eyes as she panted.
Peter slid his fingers into his mouth and sucked on them.
"I always knew you'd taste sweet", Peter said as she reached for his belt buckle.
Peter brought a hand up, squishing her cheeks together and forcing her lips into a pout; he pressed a sloppy kiss to her lips as she successfully managed to get unzip Peter's slacks, slipping her hand inside to begin to tease the younger man in front of her.
"Now, you wanna be a tease?" Peter asked as he began to move her to one of the many sinks in the bathroom.
I just can't help but be sexual (whoa) Tell me your schedule (yeah) I got a lotta new tricks for you, baby Just sayin' I'm flexible (I will) I do what I can to get you off (I will)
Peter had gotten her on the sink, legs spread and her thong stuffed in one of his pockets as he began to rock into her. Her eyes rolling into the back of her head as she felt Peter hike up her leg on him higher, sending him into deeper territory and brushing up against her G-spot as he began to rub her clit in time with his rocking.
"P-Peter", she slurred, eyes beginning to water from pleasure.
"Fuck, you're squeezing me so good", Peter groaned as he gripped the sink below her.
His thrusts becoming rougher as he buried his face in the crook of her neck.
Might just fuck him with my makeup on (I will) Eat it like I need an apron on (yeah, ay) Eat it 'til I need to change my thong (yeah, ay) We could do it to your favorite song (yeah, ay)
Her makeup was ruined, she was sure of it from the amount of kissing, sweat and tears. Y/N shivered as Peter bite down on a part of her neck, making her clench around her even tighter and causing him to let out more groans of pleasure, his hips slapping into her even rougher.
The sound of skin slapping skin rung in bathroom, echoing off the walls as she brought Peter's face back to her own, smashing their lips together as she squealed when her second orgasm hit her, her legs shaking and back arching.
You're exciting, boy, come find me Your eyes told me, "Girl, come ride me" Fuck that feeling both us fighting Could he try me? (Yeah) mmm, most likely
She had pushed Peter onto one of the toilets in the bathroom, his dick red and leaking when she had straddled him before sinking down onto him. Y/N shivered as she felt Peter stretching her out again and she knew she was going to be feeling him the next day as she moaned and threw her head back at the delicious stretch his cock gave her cunt again.
Peter gripped her hips before grabbing her ass and smacking it, she pulled her face towards his, connecting their lips as she begun to rock her hips.
Oh, wait, you a fan of the magic? Poof, pussy like an Alakazam (yeah) I heard from a friend of a friend That that dick was a ten out of ten
She could someone knocking on the door, but she could care less right with Peter buried so deep inside her as his hands that gripped her hips so tightly began to help rock her.
Baby, I need to know, mmm
Tumblr media
With a groan, Y/N felt her head pounding as an alarm was ringing; she buried her face in her pill-- wait, her pillow was normally soft, not firm and warm.
"Sorry, I forgot to turn that off", someone said in a rough voice.
Opening her eyes quickly, Y/N quickly found that she hadn't made it to her room; the events of last night quickly rushing back to her as she remembered everything.
Looking up, she saw that was indeed in Peter's bed, he was shirtless and his muscles bulging as he reached across to turn off his phone alarm. She could remember now stumbling back to Peter's room for round whatever, she could not remember how many times they had already had sex before they made it to his room.
It was then that she realized she must be back at his fraternity and she groaned inwardly.
But she remember she was lucky she was consistent with her birth control now that she thought about it with the amount of times she let Peter cum in her last night.
Rubbing her eyes as she sat up, Y/N contemplated her life decisions and her mind beginning to try and form some kind of plan of doing the walk of shame when Peter plopped down back into the bed.
"You wanna go get breakfast?"

bloody love . part 4
pairing ➳ peter parker x reader
warnings ➳ hanahaki!au, angst, fluff too this time 🥰 a happy ending (maybe)
w.c. ➳ 2.2k
summary ➳ maybe. just maybe love doesn’t kill.
part 1 | part 2 | part 3
Tumblr media
peter knew now. he didn’t know what to do with the information but he knew.
he hoped you didn’t know that he knew. so he walked into the hallway of midtown high as if nothing happened last night.
as if it was another day.
as if his whole world was not collapsing.
you were cautious around him after that night. he noticed it every time the two of you hung out– if that’s what anyone could call it. but he was thankful that you had at least started getting lunch everyday along with him and ned, just like before.
however, you were almost formal. like you didn’t even know him even though he was still the silly boy who bought your favourite milkshake for you and made corny star wars jokes.
“don’t you think it’s a little too cold now for milkshake?” you asked him, almost letting out a laugh as he placed two of the familiar little milkshake cartons in front of you.
“it never stopped you before.” he gave you an almost challenging look, finally breaking your hard exterior, making you let out a small laugh.
ned couldn’t stop the adoring smile that made way to his lips, sitting across from the two of you. peter had told him the detailed account of everything the second he found out you passed up on that surgery. he just couldn’t keep it all in anymore. ned was the saviour he needed then. but now, peter had to kick him under the table, making that smile disappear off his face.
peter hoped you would tell him one day that you decided to not get surgery for your condition. but then again, would he tell you about his?
he wasn’t sure even one bit.
why were feelings so complicated all the time. he wanted to just ask to talk to you in private but everytime he was around you, he could find words scarce. peter parker, the guy who scored perfect a’s in language, found it hard to talk in front of you.
he was thankful that you hadn’t completely pushed him away because some nights he would still visit your balcony, keeping an ear out just in case your mom’s footsteps neared your room, and the two of you would just watch the few visible stars.
it was the little sneeze that made peter wrap his arm securely around your shoulder, “everything okay?”
you rubbed your nose slightly, “i’m sure it was the milkshake.”
you could almost see the outline of his thin lips through his mask as he pressed them together, “i’m sorry, i was kinda second guessing it too.”
“it’s fine.” you shrugged, hoping you wouldn’t catch a cold.
“it was actually stupid of me, to be honest, i’m sorry-”
“it’s fine, peter.” you tried to assure him but he didn’t seem convinced. you could tell by the way he exhaled, the cold air turning it into a small cloud of mist.
“but i-”
“you don’t have to keep apologising.” you added, cutting him off again.
“but i hurt you.” he suddenly let out, voice almost a whisper.”
“so did i, to you.”
peter swore his heart stopped beating for a few seconds. he knew he was bad at keeping a secret but was he this bad? how could you have found out about his condition? he was discreet and it had been some time since he felt his breath clog up due to those goddamn flowers, “-huh?” was all he could let out.
“you know, how i ignored you for so long?” your voice was as soft as his had been a minute ago, “i was a shitty friend to you, not the other way around.”
“that’s not-”
“no, i was selfish.” you looked up at him, finding the same pattern of web-like structure. it was almost disappointing to see his face so close but not actually seeing his face. you took his hand and carefully tugged on it, “let’s go inside.”
peter followed without another word even if he’d wanted to stop you from talking about yourself like that. he took off his mask the second you closed the curtains. thankful that you didn’t have to ask him to do so, you sat onto the edge of your bed and so did he, following persuit.
it was after a few minutes of silence that peter spoke up, finally finding the right words to say, “you did what you had to. i’m not upset.”
“you have every right to be upset…” you stared at the floor, “it’s none of my business if you and gwen-”
“there’s nothing.” peter cut you off, shifting so that he was facing you, his knees brushing against your thigh, “between me and gwen, i mean.”
your eyebrows were pulled together when you looked at him, “i thought…”
“that was the past. i- i didn’t… nothing happened.”
“oh.”
the silence ensued again, the only sounds in the room being the steady breathing of you and peter. you searched your brain for anything else that you could talk about next but nothing came to mind.
“would you like to go to ned’s christmas party with me?” peter mumbled out, breaking the silence once again.
“he’s having a christmas party?” a faint smile came over your features despite the fact that you weren’t already invited to said party, “sounds nice.”
peter smiled in return leaning in to kiss your forehead. you blinked in surprise as his lips lingered over your skin for a second more. not wanting to read too much into it, you pulled back, “uhm... so, it’s getting late.”
you felt the need to hide your face from peter as the warmth spread through your cheeks.
“right.” peter mumbled before he shuffled off your bed and put his mask, “i’ll see you tomorrow?”
“you will.” you confirmed, opening the window for him to climb out.
your gaze followed him until he disappeared into the cold night of new york.
it was half past midnight when peter climbed through his window, into his own room. the first thing he did was call ned. his best friend answered in a groggy voice from just being woken up, “peter? what’s wrong?”
“ned. you need to host a christmas party.”
–––
“she’s heard every michael bublé christmas song ever.” peter grinned as he looked at you, in his overly christmas-y sweater with santa’s laughing face on it. he held a cup of hot chocolate in his hands because ned’s lola wouldn’t let any of you make eggnog.
“they’re just all too good.” you shrugged, sitting down on the couch.
when peter said a christmas party, you thought the house would be filled with people and the smell of baked goods. but when peter opened the door for you, the only lights you could see were the ones in the living room area, above the led tv which showcased the movie “jingle all the way” paused on the screen.
you greeted ned with a hug and gave him the plum cake you mom had made.
the three of you talked and had one too many hot chocolates and before you know it was time to go home and peter was offering to walk you home.
you walked in silence, looking around at the snow glazed grass.
“thanks for inviting me to the christmas party.” you mumbled as you neared your apartment building.
“thanks for coming. it wouldn’t have been a christmas party without you.” peter remarked, making you laugh and nod in agreement.
“actually, without your sweater, it wouldn’t have been a christmas party.” you chuckled, and so did he as he felt you tug at the sleeve of his oversized sweater.
he sighed in what felt like comfort. you looked at his face for a second before your eyes met and peter gulped, finding the courage to utter the next words that he’d been waiting to say the whole evening, “i uh… i-i brought something.”
you could feel the nervousness swimming in his eyes as you nodded for him to show what it was.
peter dug into his pocket and pulled out a small leaf. you eyed the unmistakable plant and then your eyes flickered to the brown ones that were already staring at yours.
“it’s um… a mistletoe plant… well it was a plant, now it’s just a leaf.” he gave out a nervous chuckle, “but we don’t have to-”
the leaf fell onto the tar of the road when peter had to hold onto the back of your neck. your lips were slow against his and his other arm went around your waist when you pushed yourself against him. peter felt the few snowflakes pause in the air as the world stopped– or maybe it was just his breath– but he didn’t waste a second in kissing you back with the same passion.
you pulled back reluctantly, finding yourself on the tip of your toes and breath short. it didn’t matter. nothing else mattered when peter pushed his forehead against yours, making you get back onto your heels.
peter leaned in again, fingers gently digging into the back of your head as he kissed you this time. your arms went around his shoulders as you held onto him. this one was more rushed than the last. his hand at the small of your back, pulling you closer to himself. when peter pulled back this time, he held you like this, looking into your eyes. it seemed as if you two had been slow dancing.
“i missed this.” he mumbled, making you laugh.
“we’ve never done this.”
“i know. that’s what i missed about it.” and he leaned in again, pressing his lips to yours for a third kiss.
you were so thankful that everyone was busy with their families, leaving the road completely empty of cars and passer-bys for you and peter to make out. you probably wouldn’t have found this amount of privacy in your own room, your cousins lounging in it together.
“i should go.” you mumbled quietly, sighing softly as you felt the phone vibrate in your jacket’s pocket, surely your mom’s call.
peter hummed but neither of you moved, “i can join you.”
you held his warm cheeks gently in your gloved hands, “my mom will chase you out of the building.”
“you’re worth it.”
you gave him a soft smile as he finally stood up straighter, though keeping his arm around your waist, “we have a lot to talk about…”
he nodded in agreement, “we do… and i’m ready whenever you are.”
–––
you’d texted him five minutes before you were knocking at his door. it was wednesday, so may was out all day on her hospital shift and it felt like the perfect time to talk to peter. clear up the air between you two and hopefully… kiss him some more.
it started in reverse order.
you had been in his room for all of three seconds before the consequences of not seeing each other for two whole days came up. peter was holding your face gently, his lips pressed to yours as you two shared small kisses. your hands were on his arms as he guided the two of you to sit on the edge of his bed, “god, i missed you.” he mumbled, moving one hand to the back of your neck.
“missed you too.” you kissed him again, pushing gently so the two of you were laying down beside each other.
peter looked into your eyes, running his thumb over your cheek, “i was so stupid. to not see what was in front of me all along.”
you shook your head, “i was more stupid. it would have been fine if i never caught feelings for-”
“y/n, i love you.”
your eyes snapped up to his, a warm feeling was blossoming in your chest, unakin to the other times. these blossoms felt different, “you…”
“i should have said it before. before you went away.”
you looked down at that, not knowing that the brunette already knew what was going through your mind. he held your chin between his thumb and index, making you look at him, and you gulped, “peter i…”
“you never got the surgery.” yet again your eyes snapped up to meet his soft, brown ones, “i heard you… talking to your mom.”
“oh.” was all you could utter, not knowing what else to say, “so then…”
“there’s something you should know too.” peter sighed, cutting you off mid sentence and sitting up, making you follow suit, “i… got it too.”
your eyebrows furrowed, “the flowers?”
he nodded once, closing his eyes.
“when…?”
“months back… same time you left. i didn’t know what to say then.” he sighed, shifting so that he was closer to you again, “i know what to say now. i love you.”
you smiled softly, “you did not just quote star wars.”
“the fact that you remember it makes me love you more.” peter let out a laugh, pressing his forehead against yours.
you leaned in, capturing his lips in a soft kiss.
“promise me something.”
“what?”
“no more flowers.”

lean in, lean out
tasm!peter x fem!reader 
summary: in which peter invites you to a wedding. as his girlfriend. which, evidently, you are not. 
warnings: hahahaha, fake dating trope, pure fluff, peter is an idiot, reader is an idiot, we’re all idiots. 
a/n: let me know how you like it! 
Tumblr media
*
"this is stupid." 
despite the tone of your voice, despite the absolute death grip you've got on his hand, and despite all other things—
peter looks down at you. smiles that same irritating smile. 
you know—the smile that makes your whole body feel... alive. the kind of smile that lights you on fire and doesn't apologize. no, you think. he's not sorry. 
and he's really not. 
"you're doing great," peter whispers, leaning a little bit closer to you. maybe just a little bit amused. 
or a lot. it's hard to tell with how much you hate him right now. his encouragement is not welcome.
his breath on your skin and every stupid ounce of affection and appreciation—it’s not welcome.
"why do i even have to be here?" you ask him, between gritted teeth. his hand is warm in yours. rough. "you could've said i got food poisoning, or the flu. or maybe i was ziplining and the wire broke." 
peter looks forward, but you see the little crinkle of his brows. 
"that's a terrible excuse," he tells you, "you can't just start ziplining. you have to, like, take a course." 
"because that's my biggest concern right now. the course i didn't take." 
peter snorts, but is quick to cover it up with a cough, smiling at the people who turn to stare at him. 
and at you with their evil eyes. 
with their very nice smiles and wonderful table manners. their curiosity towards the man who, at the moment, is tickling your hand with his fingertips.
you try to smile at them.
you're supposed to be keeping your mouth shut, listening to the speeches. 
you're actually supposed to be completely in love with peter. 
which, you think, in the deepest, darkest part of your mind, isn't really that big of a stretch.
"can't we just get kicked out?" you mutter to him, pretending that you're not both playing footsie under the table. that you’re a mature adult and peter is a child you’re just babysitting.
you're winning, obviously. 
"i don't think you can get kicked out of weddings..." but peter still looks around, like he's checking for a sign. 
"you can if you snuck in." 
peter looks at you again, sunken down in your seat and crossing your arms. 
which is what you'd be doing if that was a part of your elegant girlfriend role. 
instead, you're sitting up straight, pretending not to admire how the light catches his jaw--the little concave of his throat. pretending that you didn't stare at him the entire ceremony. nor that his suit has elicited an unfortunate reaction in your chest.
"luckily, we didn't sneak in." peter takes a sip of his water. he is deliberately avoiding your eyes. 
maybe it's the guilt. 
"yeah, yeah," you mutter, into your own glass—your only solace. "these people are your closest confidants. the people you'd want at your funeral, the ones who know you like no other—“
peter squeezes your hand. you can't tell if he's telling you to shut up, or thanking you. 
you honestly can't tell if it's hot in here or if you're just sweating. 
you contemplate chugging your water. 
"shh," peter whispers, but he leans in close again. just enough that you can smell his soap--some kind of spice, some kind of ridiculously addicting smell that you can never quite place. he kisses your head, smiles at someone who is looking at you. 
but you're staring at the floor. 
you're really trying to keep the dumb smile off of your face. 
there are spiders crawling into your brain and making you short-circuit.
"gotta have a wedding before a funeral. and," he says, teasing you, breaking the rules, "you're my closest confidant." 
"how romantic." 
peter moves back. it might be your tone of voice. he glances at you with a raised brow. "i thought this was stupid?" 
"it is," you're quick to answer. quick to throw yourself off of the nearest building. quick to run out of here and pretend that you got eaten alive by wolves. "i'm just saying—if you want to trick all of your family members, might as well do a good job." 
"i think we're a good couple," peter pouts like he's absolutely serious. 
the words want to send sparks down your heart. they want to hurl bowling balls down your stomach. 
but you refuse. 
"this is stupid," you repeat, but this time, your lip twitches. if only minimally. 
peter kicks your foot under the table. he opens his mouth to say something back. 
but then everyone is clapping, peter is looking over to you—you with wide eyes and far too temperamental emotions—and laughing. 
you must look shocked. 
the bride's father steps down from the stage, voice echoing as he tries to collect himself. 
peter pretends to wipe a tear away. 
when you turn away from him—thanking whatever gods there are that everyone is focused on the stage and away from your glowing eyes—you pretend that you can't feel him smirking back at you. 
*
"it's really not that big of a deal—“
you blink. you stare at him. you count to a million in your head, trying not to feel angry. or upset. 
it doesn't work. 
"you told your aunt that i was your girlfriend, and it's 'not that big of a deal?'" your poor imitation almost makes him laugh. almost. 
"she already thought we were dating anyway—“
you think about strangling him. or kicking the chair out from under his feet. "may thought that you were dating the stupid library girl?" 
"you're not stupid." 
"i was talking about the library." 
peter looks almost offended. "hey." 
you roll your eyes. drop your head into your hands. his eyes are warm on you, and you know that he's not going to look away until you say something else. 
until you agree to this stupid plan and pretend that the only reason he's okay with this is that he feels absolutely nothing for you—
it's not that big of a deal. really. 
peter places a hand on your shoulder. when you don't look up, he sighs. and then promptly pulls your hands away from your face. 
he is unbearably kind. smiling at you. 
"peter..." you say, almost relenting. almost letting him win. 
as if this was a game and you were a handy object he picked up along the way. just something to come in later. 
"hey," he says, softly, still staring at you. he's never been afraid of eye contact. "if you want me to call her back and tell her that i lied, i will. i don't want to make you uncomfortable." 
you'd like to mention that the only uncomfortable thing about any of this is how hard your heart bangs on your chest. 
your head lands back in your hands. 
peter pokes the bit of cheek he can still reach. you twitch. 
"or i can tell her we broke up. that you broke up with me. you'd get a kick out of that." he nudges your shoulder. 
you pretend that he didn't just slide his chair even closer to you.
you peek an eye at him. "i would enjoy breaking up with you."  
"ouch." but peter's smiling. "seriously," he says. "you don't have to go." 
you lean up, brows furrowed. "why don't you just find an actual date?" 
you try to say it seriously. like you're not bitter at the prospect. 
"having a first date at a wedding?" peter says, dryly. "no, thank you." 
"you could, i don't know, try actually dating someone. it doesn't have to be the first date." 
"i don't wanna date someone's," he's almost pouting. your lip twitches. 
this statement is a lie, of course, but it fills your heart with a little unnecessary glee. something a little bit like relief. you want to dig a hand into your ribcage and rip your heart out just so you can scold it a little. 
instead, you shake your head at peter. "then don't go with anyone. maybe you'll meet someone there. wedding romances are very popular this time of year.”
peter winces. "i know. it's just..." he blows a breath. runs a hand through his hair, only making it even messier. his sweater is bunched at his wrists. his glasses are hanging at the tip of his nose. 
you want to lean in close to him and push them up. 
you clench your fists. 
"it's just what?" 
"if i go alone then everyone will ask questions." 
you frown. "questions?" 
"yeah." peter sighs, avoids your eyes again. "and then they'll all give me those pitiful looks because 'poor peter he can't move on' and 'may said he was doing better.'" 
you observe his face carefully, tiny pricks of anger hitting directly at your chest. 
"it happens at every family event," peter laughs, looking back at you. "i… wanted them to see that i'm okay, for once. and you know i don't like answering questions." 
you laugh. you move a little bit closer to him, maybe subconsciously. "you don't have to go alone," you say. maybe to him. 
"i know," peter stares at you a second, smiles. "there's no one else i'd want to go with, though." 
unsure if he's poking fun at you or being serious, you choose the safe option. the smarter one. 
"i hate weddings," you declare to him, glaring. 
peter laughs, head thrown back, teeth showing. 
you feel a sense of pride. a tiny little branch growing in your chest—getting bigger. 
peter shakes his head, because he knows you're lying. he's nice enough not to say it. "plus, may already likes you. no awkward introduction." 
you raise a brow. "there wasn't any awkward introduction when i went home with you for thanksgiving."
"because she already liked you." 
"you giving me glowing reviews, parker?" 
he smiles. "no," tilts his head like he's hilarious. "may likes that you called me out on my bullshit." 
you push him, frowning. "i'm very nice to you." 
he rubs at his arm, still smiling at you. 
and then there's a moment where the two of you just stare. just look in each other's eyes like you wouldn't rather be doing anything else. 
you wouldn't. 
but you know peter is waiting. 
you take a deep breath in. 
it might be his stupid smile. or his dimples. 
it might be the way he's pleading with you--without his eyes, without even asking--like it's a secret that only you can keep. 
"okay," you tell him. "but i'm going to eat all of the cake." 
*
peter holds his hands out to you. 
it's late enough in the night that the lights are dim. that his eyes are bright, illuminated by the fluorescents above your head. his smile is soft, his hands are big. 
you frown. "what?" 
"let's dance." peter says this like it's obvious. like what else would you rather be doing right now?" 
you look down at the table, empty now. you look towards the dance floor, full. 
"yeah," you drawl. "maybe not." 
peter pouts. "you don't want to dance with me?" 
his hand is still out, still perfectly intimidating. 
"it has nothing to do with you, peter," you promise. "i don't want to dance with anyone." 
"but you're a great dancer." 
you point a finger at him. "there is no evidence of that." 
"fall semester, last year." 
"how very specific, peter." 
he smiles. he waves his hand like he's very impatient. "c'mon, it'll look weird if we don't dance." 
"you already look weird so i don't see the issue." 
his free hand goes to his chest, in mock offense. you smile at him, so adoring. 
"you dance around in my kitchen all the time." 
"not in heels." 
his face is blank. 
"not after i've just eaten a bunch of wedding cake." 
peter just stares at you. 
"peter," you whine, feeling intimidated. but mostly worried about being any clsoer to him than you have been all night. "please don't make me." 
"this is supposed to be fun." 
you cross your arms. your neck has begun to ache from looking up at him. 
"just one song," he makes a tiny little one with his finger as if that is going to convince you anymore. 
"it's never 'just' with you." 
peter crosses his heart. "scouts honor." 
"that was a cross, not a pledge. and you're not a boy scout." 
"i could've been," he sighs dreamily, looking up at the ceiling like he's got big goals. entire aspirations. 
and then he looks down at you and smiles again. 
and fine. 
maybe you dance with him. 
but it has nothing to do with his smile. you're merely trying to keep up appearances.
*
"when may calls you tomorrow and asks why your girlfriend hates you, just tell her—“ 
peter follows you as you stumble into the hotel room. 
he flicks the lights on and sets your bag down in the hallway. 
because he owes you, you just flop down on the bed. admiring how soft the sheets are. you lose track of your sentence. 
"do you want to shower?" 
"it is three in the morning, peter."
"yeah but you're all sticky." 
you sit up in bed and look at him--peter who has now removed his blazer. who is quickly undoing his tie and staring at you like he's never looked at you before. 
you look down at the sheets. rub your hands together because you're cold. 
"are you saying that you don't want to sleep next to me because i smell bad?" you ask him, scrunching your nose. 
peter slips his shoes off, laughing so quietly that you can barely hear it. he flops down next to you, looking up at the ceiling. 
"i don't remember implying that." 
you crawl closer to him, almost right above him. "it was written all over your face, parker." 
"well," he smiles at you, more amused. maybe delirious. "it's not like i haven't shared a bed with you before." 
you lay back, copying him. your hands rest at your sides, very close to his. 
you blink. the white of the ceiling looks particularly interesting. 
"it's too early to tell if that was an insult or not." 
peter snorts. his laughter shaking the entire bed. 
shaking your entire body from the inside out. 
and then he groans as he leans up, stretching. you close your eyes, refusing to look at him. 
refusing to notice how his shirt has ridden up his back and you can see an inch of soft warm skin. 
refusing to notice how the bed already smells like him. 
and the fact that you're supposed to sleep next to him, all night. 
and that maybe dancing with him left behind some spare anxiety, crawling up your skin and massaging your neck. 
you refuse anything. 
when you open your eyes again, peter is unbuttoning his shirt. 
"are you at least going to get in pajamas?" 
"peter, these are pajamas." 
he snorts. "really?" a shirt is thrown on the floor. a zipper can be heard from across the room. similar to your heart. "because i distinctly remember someone telling me that 'it was the most uncomfortable outfit ever' and 'not even satan would allow this.'" 
you sit up, moving to cross your legs. maybe you stare at him a little. "what?" you gasp. "who would say such a thing?" 
peter looks back at you and smiles. 
it's quite possibly—in the realm of possibilities and three in the morning thoughts—the prettiest thing he's ever seen. 
"here," he tosses you a shirt. a pair of sweatpants. 
how he found those in the vast depths of your suitcase, you are unsure. 
"i'm going to go brush my teeth, moisturize." 
"is that how you get that baby-smooth skin of yours?" 
peter raises an eyebrow at you. gestures down to the clothes in your lap. "change. get in bed. you look tired." 
you frown. "did my makeup smudge?" 
peter stares for a moment, surveying your face. his eyes are wide and his lips are just slightly parted. just enough for you to see a tiny bit of pink. a flash of white.
it’s a moment too long. peter clears his throat. "no," he says. "you--it, um. it looks good. you look beautiful." 
your eyes widen, if only a little bit. 
peter seems to realize this. he seems to run from you, if not literally, then figuratively. "okay. uh, you. change." he shakes his head. 
and then the bathroom door closes. 
*
you're tucked into bed when peter comes out ten minutes later. 
you don't bother to ask what took him so long. 
he smiles at you in the dark—you can see this, or, at least feel it. you're very familiar with it. 
and despite the fact that you have shared a bed with peter before, that you were miles closer to him only a couple of hours ago, you still feel a twitch of nerves as he climbs into bed next to you. 
the covers shift ever so slightly. 
and then peter turns towards you. he knows that you're still awake. 
you know that his eyes are soft. that there are circles under his eyes but he still looks just as beautiful. but he still looks like the person that you're undeniably in love with. 
whatever. 
"tired?" he whispers to you because it's dark. 
these are late-night secrets, see. 
"yes." you whisper back. "no." 
peter chuckles, so low and quiet. 
it's silent for a moment. cars passing by the room. lights shining in through the curtains. 
your heart bouncing across the walls and hoping to land in peter's hands. 
"did you have fun?" he asks, so soft. 
you almost freeze. almost completely forget yourself. "yeah. yes.  i—it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be." 
"i think the dancing really sold it." 
"oh, you mean, you stepping on my feet and me not yelling at you?" 
"uh-huh." 
"that's the testament to a good relationship, for sure." 
peter is smiling. 
you know that. 
maybe because you're also smiling. 
"you should go to bed," you say. "you're tired." 
"i'm really not," peter says. 
you want to lean in closer. something about the dark. something about spending the whole day with him. something about his eyes and his lips and his smiles—which, even now—are terrifying. 
something about the dark. 
"may wants to have breakfast with us," peter whispers to you. 
"yeah?" 
"yeah. i can tell her that you're too tired if you want." 
you clear your throat. swallow. "no. it's okay. i like hanging out with her." 
"yeah?" 
"yeah." 
peter is silent for a moment. he is so quiet that you're almost worried that he's disappeared into the dark. 
but he's there. 
your heart won't let you forget that. 
"peter?" you whisper. 
"yeah?" 
"thank you for bringing me." 
"thank you for being my girlfriend." 
the sentence weighs more than a pile of bricks on your chest. 
you think about the next ten minutes. about how this might be—this is—your last chance. this is it for peter being your boyfriend. even fake. 
it's worth something. 
but peter turns on his side, eyes shutting. 
and so you follow, pretending that you can't feel him, warm, so soft, next to you. 
you pretend that you can't hear his breathing. that all of this is meaningless. 
and you're getting used to it. pretending. 
still, you feel it, about seven minutes later. 
a couple of minutes after you're sure that peter's already fallen asleep. that he isn't plagued by these thoughts, these ideas like you are. 
it doesn't matter. 
it's seven minutes later, in the dark, so early in the morning. 
you feel peter's hand, right next to you. 
you feel him intertwine his fingers with you. 
and peter is warm and soft. rough and cold. 
he is asleep. but it means something. 
you pretend it doesn't. 
you fall asleep holding his hand.

First of all, thank you so much for this request. I love this trope so much. Gonna make this part of an AU of Shattered Memories version of this because this fits so well with it! Reader doesn't have spidey powers in this one, so the outcome would be very different which is why it's even more of an AU. Enjoy!

↪ divider by firefly-graphics
Peter didn’t expect it to happen like this. He wasn’t sure if it was a blessing or a curse, actually. He simply needed a job to pay for rent and be able to make a living for himself in the best way that he could. But he didn’t expect everything to drop into his lap like this. 
Peter had gotten fired from his job at the pizza place as a delivery driver. He was late one too many times on making deliveries which resulted him in getting fired. Although the job wasn’t all lavish and luxurious, it still helped with rent. He begged for another chance but the manager wouldn’t budge, which left Peter jobless and struggling. With juggling his Spiderman duties, school studies, and trying to function as an adult earlier than he would’ve liked to he had a lot on his plate. It made him feel rather lonely sometimes. Yeah, he had his college friends and the sweet neighbors in the apartment complex across the hall, but it wasn’t anything like when he had his friends from before.
And it was definitely different without you.
(Y/N) Jarvis.
You were someone who transferred into Midtown Tech during your sophomore year of high school. You didn’t make friends too easily and usually kept to yourself in general. It wasn’t until you decided to join the Academic Decathlon that you became friends with Liz Allan. That’s when you truly opened up. That’s when your true personality shined through. You were a sweet girl. Always helpful and always kind. Peter was taken by you fairly quickly. 
Peter was also surprised at how unconventional you were.
“You guys are building a Lego Death Star?” you asked intrigued from your locker which wasn’t that far from Peter’s. 
You had overheard Ned and him talking about it and you just couldn’t help yourself but go over and ask about it. They were kind of shocked that a popular girl like you approached them.
“Uhm…” Peter started nervously and hesitantly. “Y-yeah…!”
You beamed. “That’s so cool! I’m jealous! I have a Millennium Falcon that I haven’t had time to do.”
“Really?” Ned asked. 
“Yeah!” You smiled, took out your phone, and showed them a picture of you happily hugging the Lego box. 
Peter pretty much fell head over heels for you right then and there without realizing it.
The problem was that you were dating Flash Thompson at the time, and Flash did not like Peter. There were plenty of times when you had to defend Peter from Flash’s bullying and you had to apologize to Peter for Flash's bullying, which put a strain on your relationship. And it ended up in a breakup during the homecoming dance. You spent the whole dance crying in the bathroom by yourself until Liz found you and comforted you. Then the week after Liz had to move away. 
So you lost your boyfriend and your best friend within a week.
Peter will never understand why you confided in him, but you did which only strengthened your friendship and his crush on you that he didn’t realize until the beginning of senior year. Ned told him that you felt the same way but he just thought he was saying that because of how close of friends you guys had become. He wondered if it was actually true. He would never know. 
At least so he thought. 
When he had to sacrifice his identity to save the universe, he remembered your reaction to it. You were there that day and you were supportive of him throughout everything. Except when you had to forget about him. He had never seen you cry so hard before, beg so much before, and look so hurt before.
It broke his heart. 
And here he was a year later and you didn’t remember him along with the rest of the world.
When his college friend, Harry Osborn, heard about Peter losing his job he brought up something that changed his life. 
“You know the Starks are looking for a babysitter.” 
He perked up at the Stark name. “Huh?”
“Yeah,” he replied. “It’s very under wraps, they want to keep it secret that they have children. But it’s good money. I can put it a good word for you.”
And that’s how Peter ended up at the Stark’s lakehouse right outside of the city, in front of his old mentor and father figure’s face meeting him and his daughter for the first time again. It was strange to him that he had to pretend like this was the first time he was meeting Tony Stark and his family. 
Well, this was his first time meeting Morgan and she took an instant liking to Peter which pleased Tony and Pepper.
“Now she may like you, but the real boss will be home soon,” Tony mentioned. “If she doesn’t see you as a good fit she’ll fire you before I do.”
Peter couldn’t tell if he was joking or not, but he chose to chuckle softly. He was also shocked to hear that he had another daughter. 
She must be like 12 or something if she can’t watch Morgan, he thought. 
Soon Tony and Pepper say their goodbyes to Morgan and Peter as they took off. They were apparently going to Malibu for the weekend for some business trip. Peter was surprised they chose him to be the babysitter but really, when you are Iron Man you can pretty much guarantee your safety from the average person (even though Peter isn’t an average person).
Peter looked down at Morgan who was smiling up at him. “Are you hungry? Do you want a snack?”
“Yes,” she chimed.
So he went to the kitchen with her and at her request, he made her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He figured that he would make one for you too since you would probably be hungry when you got home. When he asked Morgan what kind of sandwich you would like she told him.
“Peanut butter, Nutella, and jelly, but the peanut butter has to be chunky and the jelly has to be strawberry jam and the Nutella has to be in the center because on the peanut butter side, you have to put potato chips and on the jelly side you have to put strawberry chucks and the one with the Nutella has to have banana slices,” she explained very meticulously. “And she likes to eat it with a glass of milk on the side. Oh! And the bread has to be honey wheat and toasted,”
“Oh…” Peter responded trying to go over the steps in his mind. “Wanna help me make it so I don’t mess it up?”
Morgan was more than happy to help and he grabbed all of the ingredients from various cabinets. Meanwhile, Morgan talked about anything and everything. One of the things he found out was that your nickname is “Luna” because it rhymed with “Maguna” and you had a moon and stars themed room. It reminded him a lot of you and how you would always draw moons and stars on the corners of your school notes when you were bored in class or as a way to distract you from whatever was making you feel uncomfortable at the moment. 
“I know my name is Morgan but Daddy calls me Maguna, Luna calls me Maguna and Mommy calls me Maguna so you can call me Maguna too.”
“But that’s your nickname for your family, right?” 
“Mhm!” Morgan smiled happily.
“So maybe I should call you something else? How about Miss Morgan?”
Morgan giggled and nodded. “Then, I will call you Mister Peter.”
“Deal,” he smiled.
“You should marry my big sister! She likes boys like you!” Morgan stated excitedly like she just came up with the best idea in the world. 
“I-I think, I might be too old for your sister, Miss Morgan,” Peter laughed. 
Morgan shook her head. “Nuh-uh, you are perfect for her! Her last boyfriend was a poopyface.”
Peter smiled at her enthusiasm and just let her live her little fantasy. As he finished putting your sandwich together, he heard the door open. 
“I’m home,” you sang.
“Luna!!” Morgan cheered and ran over to you. 
As Peter heard you and Morgan greet each other, he poured the glass of milk and put it next to the plate of the intricately detailed sandwich. Then he walked over to introduce himself as the new babysitter. But he froze when he saw who it was. It wasn’t a preteen girl like he was expecting.
It was you.
He wasn’t sure what confused him the more, the fact that you weren’t a child but someone his age or the fact that you’re Tony Stark’s daughter. He had so many questions but he didn’t even know which one he would ask first if he could ask any. You didn’t even remember who he is so he couldn’t even ask. 
You looked up at him and smiled as Morgan hugged you around your waist. “Hello! Nice to meet you, I’m (Y/N).”
Peter remembered what Mr. Stark said and had to catch himself before he looked really stupid just staring at you like a deer in headlights. “H-hi!” He squeaked out after a moment and then cleared his throat to fix his voice from cracking in high octaves again. “H-hey, I’m…uh…Peter, the new babysitter.”
“We made you your favorite sandwich!” Morgan said excitedly before you could respond.
“Ooh,” your smile grew. ““I’ll be right back, I gotta get out of these clothes and into something more comfy and then I can enjoy the sandwich.”
And you went up the stairs to do just that and Peter watched you go until you were out of view. He was still processing everything that just happened. 
Morgan walked over to Peter. “Told you.” she sang and Peter blushed.

When you came back down, you went straight the the kitchen where Peter and Morgan were sitting at the island. You wore a black oversized 90s vintage designed Taylor Swift tee shirt and a pair of drop-crotch joggers with blue fuzzy socks with cloud prints on them. Your face was cleared from makeup and you looked ten times more relaxed than you did when you first came home. You went straight for the sandwich, let out a satisfied breath, and closed your eyes as you chewed your first bite. 
“You made this?” You asked Peter. 
“Uh, yeah,” he responded as he rubbed the back of his head nervously. “With some help of course.”
“It’s perfect,” you smiled. 
“Really?” 
“Mhm!” you nodded and took another bite.
Peter gave you a tight-lipped smile in response.
“You seem nervous,” you mentioned. “Did my dad tell you that I'm scary and would fire you before he does? Relax, ignore him. He says that to freak people out.”
Peter wished that was what had him nervous, but he was still processing that you were here, that you were a Stark. He wondered where the name Jarvis came from. It didn’t help that he also has a major crush on you which only adds to his nervousness of being around you. 
“Man, he got you all freaked out, doesn’t he?” You asked when Peter didn’t say anything. “No worries, I’ll hang out with your guys so you can see that I’m not as scary as he says.”
Peter figured this would be one helluva day.  
Tumblr media
After doing different activities with Morgan like having a tea party, puzzles, and drawing you guys settled into watching a movie which was Frozen II. Peter noted that you sang every single song without missing a single note or beat. Morgan sang a long too but with some songs, she would be too enthralled by the movie to really remember to sing. After the movie, it was almost eight o’clock Morgan had winded down but she wasn’t sleepy just yet. 
“Alright, Maguna,” you stood up from the couch and did a big stretch. “We can do one more thing before it’s bedtime. So what’s it gonna be?”
She looked up in thought and then a spark came to her eye and then, what Peter could’ve seen, was a mischievous smile. “Let’s play house,” She said.
Oh god, Peter thought and Morgan’s words from earlier echoed in his mind. It was bad enough that he was still processing all of this but he felt like he was about to be set up by a six-year-old.
“Alrighty then,” you agreed. “Who’s gonna be who?”
“You two have to be mommy and daddy,” she explained. “And I’m the baby.”
Peter decided he needed to avert the situation without completely throwing away the whole idea. “You want me to be Mommy, and (Y/N) to be Daddy?” Peter joked. 
Morgan laughed at the idea and you giggled looking at Peter with an eyebrow raised. 
“Perfect, I get to make fun of my dad for once.” You smile, amused.
Peter sighed in relief when you turned back to Morgan who was still laughing. 
After playing house for a while with you imitating Tony exaggeratingly and Peter doing his best mom impression, Morgan was finally tired enough to finally go to sleep. You carried her to her bed and Peter leaned in the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest as he watched you tuck her in. Morgan seemed happy and in return made you happy which made Peter happy. 
He was exhausted though.
“Goodnight, Maguna,” you smiled and kissed her head. “I love you 3000.”
“I love you 3000,” she replied softly and sleepily as she hugged a soft bear plushie. 
“Goodnight, Miss Morgan,” Peter smiled. 
“Goodnight, Mr. Peter,” She yawned. 
You stood up from the bed and walked over to the doorway to where Peter was. You both smiled at each other tiredly.
“Ready?” You asked him.
“Yeah,” he nodded feeling relief that Morgan hadn’t done any funny business to make things awkward between you two.
But he mentally spoke too soon.
“Wait!” Morgan exclaimed startling you both as you guys looked a her wonderously. “You guys have to kiss goodnight!”
Peter felt his soul leave his body. He thought he was safe from this. It’s not like he didn’t want to kiss you, he’s been wanting to kiss you for years. But that doesn’t mean that you want to kiss him. Now it was going to make everything awkward. He didn’t blame Morgan though. She was just a kid with a big imagination. A very, very big and open imagination. 
“Us?” You asked with an unsure look on your face.
“Yes,” Morgan replied sitting up and crossing her arms.
You looked at Peter shyly and he could tell your face was burning from embarrassment. His face was also burning just thinking of the idea of kissing you. You gave him a look the read that you were willing to if he was.
“I can kiss you on the cheek,” you whispered and Peter’s blush bloomed even more.
“Yeah…!” he squeaked again and then cleared his throat. “No, yeah the cheek is good…mhm…yeah.”
“No,” Morgan whined and pouted. “Like how Papa and Mama kiss.”
You looked at Morgan horrified and Peter’s eyes widened and he froze.
“You gotta, otherwise I can't sleep,” Morgan stated. 
“Bullshit,” you sang lowly enough for only you and Peter to hear. 
“Morgan, I don’t think it’s a good idea-” Peter began but was cut off by a grunt from Morgan who pouts harder and crossed her arms over herself.
Peter wanted to crawl into a hole and scream. Mostly because he wasn’t against the idea but he didn’t want to do it in front of Morgan and he didn’t want to do it if you didn’t want to do it.
“I’m okay with it if you are,” you said knocking Peter out of his thoughts and nearly onto the floor. 
Did he hear you right?
“A-are you sure…?” He asked with wide eyes.
You nodded in response looking up at him. “It’s no big deal, right? Just a peck wouldn’t hurt.”
Oh my god, it’s happening. Peter felt his entire body buzz with a feeling he couldn’t really pinpoint.
“O-okay,” Peter squeaked once more and mentally cursed himself for it.
You stepped closer to him as you looked him in the eyes and he looked back into yours. You were just as pretty as he remembered and now you're so close to him getting ready to kiss him, He gulped nervously. His heart raced a million miles per hour.
He thinks he would have an easier time kissing Ned than he would you at this very moment.
“I’m waiting,” Morgan sang sleepily.
“Here goes nothing,” you said before you pressed your lips to Peter’s.
His heart jolted and he kissed back in a reflex. 
This kiss lasted a total of five seconds but to Peter, it was five seconds too short. You pulled back and pressed your lips together looking up at him for a long moment. He looked back at you with his heart still racing in his ears. He could’ve sworn he heard yours beating at the same rapid pace. After a long moment of looking at each other, you broke the gaze and looked over at Morgan. Peter never took his eyes off of you. 
“She’s asleep,” you whispered. 
Peter looked over to see a sleeping Morgan. Peter had no idea when she fell asleep but he was hoping that it was before you guys kissed.
 “Let’s get out of here before she wakes up and has some other bright ideas,” you whispered again.
“Y-yeah,” Peter walked out and you followed behind.
You closed the door softly and then walked down the hall with him so you guys could talk freely without worrying about waking up a sleeping Morgan.
“Uhm…” you started. “You can stay here tonight. It’s late and we have like three guest rooms that you can use.”
“Yeah, your dad told me earlier.”
“Oh! Okay, good, good.”
You guys stood there for a moment, ignoring the elephant in the room. Peter felt it and he was pretty sure that you felt it too. The curiosity of what a genuine kiss would feel like rather than one that was rushed, But neither of you wanted to bring it up. 
You cleared your throat and turned to walk towards your room. “Goodnight, Peter.”
Peter watched you as your hand grabbed the doorknob and before he could even make a decision, his mouth did it for him. 
“(Y/N)?”
You stopped and looked at wide-eyed Peter who was surprised by his own voice. 
“Yes?” You respond.
You guys looked at each other longingly again before his legs took him over by you. What are you doing? He stopped right in front of you. Another moment of looking at each other and wondering. 
You glanced down at his lips and he did the same to yours. That was all the answer he needed.
“C-can I try something?” He asked softly.  
“Yes, “ you answer before he can even finish asking. 
He glanced back at your lips a moment before looking deeply into your eyes. He then softly puts a shaky hand on your cheek and you close your eyes a moment before you look up with hooded eyes. He leaned in slowly and you let out a soft breath and closed your eyes. 
Then his lips met yours. 
The kiss was soft and sweet and Peter could actually feel the softness of your lips then time. You put your hands on his shoulders and grip his shirt as you deepened this kiss causing it to go from cute to passionate. Peter’s heart was racing once again and he let out a soft sigh of satisfaction.
He was finally able to kiss you after all these years and it was better than he could’ve ever imagined. 
After a moment he got a little more confident and he brought your bottom lip in between his teeth for a moment causing a soft gasp to escape from you before he kissed you again, taking your breath away. He had no idea what came over him, but you both liked it.
After another moment you pulled back and he chased the kiss not wanting to part just yet. He looked at you with hooded eyes before pulling back a little. You looked up at him and brought your hand up to touch your lips before you hesitated a moment and pressed your lips together.
“Uhm…we should…” you started your voice very low.
“No, yeah, yeah. We should…” Peter said and then stepped back slowly. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight,” You replied and stepped into your room quickly and closed the door.
Peter turned and smiled big as he walked to the guest room. At the same time, you leaned against your door smiling and softly touching your lips as you still tasted his kiss on your lips.

series masterlist + read the next chapter early on my ko-fi!!
Tumblr media
The first time you realized that you were really in love with Peter Parker was during breakfast at your place. He was trying to feed Morgan while you tried to make him eat his toast. 
The sun was entering the kitchen just the right way to make his caramel eyes look amber. His laughter as he tried to feed Morgan who giggled uncontrollably each time he got the spoon near her mouth while you tried to make him eat the toasts that you’d made for him. Both of you knew that they were a little bit burned, he tried to be as nice as he could about it, bursting into laughter as he tried to avoid you feeding him. And then he took a big bite, your gazes glued together as he savored the burnt bread. 
“It’s so good,” he lied as he gazed at you lovingly. 
You knew that you loved him, you really loved him. 
The first time you actually wanted to say it to him, not almost asleep after sex, was one night during patrol. Everything was quiet, there wasn’t too much going on so you stayed on one of Peter’s favorite rooftops. He’d bought some sandwiches from Delmar and brought them so you could have a small dinner. He didn’t take off the mask, just in case, he simply lifted it slightly as both of you sat on the edge and gazed at the busy streets of Queen’s. 
“My parents loved New York,” he said suddenly. 
You turned towards him with a slight smile. He’d told you about his parents, you’d asked him a few times about them. They must’ve been amazing, Peter talked about them as if they were saints. Not in the way, people forget the awful things someone did when they died. No, Peter talked about his parents in the most honest way possible and all he had to say were incredible things about them. How kind they were, how smart they were, how much they taught him in so little time. 
Peter then took your hand and squeezed it slightly. You followed his hand and looked at it with a smile, a light blush appearing on your cheeks. “They would’ve loved you,” he breathed out. 
Your heart stopped. Frowning just a little bit you looked up at Peter and watched him carefully as he continued to eat his sandwich in the most nonchalant way as if he wasn’t aware of the effect of his words. You opened your mouth for a moment, your mind going miles per hour as you stared at him. Your gut screamed that you needed to say it. You needed to tell him. 
“I…” 
Peter turned towards you with a smile as he waited for you. All of your skin felt like itching, your breathing became labored and sounds without any meaning escaped your mouth slightly, even a whimper. 
You wanted to say it, you just couldn’t. 
“I would’ve loved to meet them,” you finally decided. 
Peter smiled. 
The first time you’d realized that Peter wanted to say it was at training on a Saturday at the Compound. Peter liked to spend his weekends Upstate, at least during the day, so he could really make use of the huge lab he had there along with trying the new features of his suit. Even more, when Tony told him about the redesign he’d make to the gym, to adjust to some of Peter’s needs. Soon, you became a staple too on the Compound. It was still drenched in nostalgia for you, but as you walked around with Peter’s hand intertwined with yours, it didn’t feel as lonely anymore. 
“What do you want for your birthday?” you asked Peter as you barely ducked a right hook and came at Peter with a front kick that he easily defended. 
“Nothing,” Peter said as he softly threw an uppercut that you defended in a nice way. “I’m perfectly fine,”
You frowned. Not only because you wanted to give him the best present ever but also because you knew he was going easy on you. 
Quickly, you raised your left leg and gave Peter a somehow playful but harsh quick on the ribs. Peter groaned softly at the punch as you waited for him. 
“What was that for?” he complained as he held his ribs. As if whatever you’d done had actually hurt him, you smile playfully. 
“Don’t go easy on me, Parker,” you said. “I’m serious, what do you want?”
Peter shook his head with a smile as he took a hold of your wrist and pulled you tight against his chest. It was around five in the afternoon, and the summer air of the night was always too much for some people, but not for Peter, he was always touching you.
“Nothing,” he assured you as he whispered in your ear. His breath made you shudder at the feeling of him pressing against you, while he held you extremely tight. 
“You’re crushing me,” you mumbled, not exactly complaining but it was getting a little bit hard to breathe. 
“Told me not to take it easy,” Peter tutted with a smirk as he kissed your cheek and held you while you began to trash against his arms. 
Quickly, you managed to take enough momentum with your legs to destabilize both of you, both falling to the floor with an oof. Peter doesn’t laugh immediately but you do, while you manage to detangle yourself from his arms with a smirk as you stand up. 
“So, you’re going to tell me what you want?”
This had been going on and on all day. Peter had let it slip that his friends wanted to make him a party and that his Aunt -who you’d yet to meet- was going to assist too. Practically you could find any information about him but you felt awful when you realized how close his birthday was. 
And that he was a Leo. 
“Your stance is too wide,” Peter responded before he half-stood up, knocking you flat with one swing of his feet. You fell to the padded floor and groaned, your chest hurting from the hard impact as you glared up at him. 
He offered you his hand, his lips quirking up affectionately but you didn’t take it. “Come on,” he huffed while you rolled your eyes. 
“I’m not unless you tell me what you want,” you challenged him. Peter only raised his eyebrows at you, calling your bluff. “I swear to god that I’ll mess up Karen’s algorithm for a day if you don’t tell me,” you snapped. 
You were always very considerate on birthdays. Usually, you disliked yours, but other’s peoples birthdays? Steve’s, Bruce’s, Tony’s, Pepper’s, Nat’s, and Harley’s were always filled with the most amazing gifts you could find. And yet, you couldn’t seem to find anything for the most perfect guy you could’ve dated. 
“I want you,” Peter finally breathed out.
“You already got me,” you said as you finally took his hand and he pulled you up, closer to him. 
Peter shook his head with a smile as he pulled you against him, his hand on your hip, making goosebumps erupt through your skin. . “I only want you,”
“That’s not a gift, Parker,” you whined while rolling your eyes dramatically. 
Peter stayed silent as he watched you lovingly, you smiled up at him as you’d done before but then you watched it in his eyes. Something changed. Peter’s tongue darted out to wet his lips, his mouth opened slightly. 
“I…” 
Your brows scrunched slightly. He was about to say it, you knew he was. 
And then panic flooded your body, heart sinking all of the sudden. It shouldn’t, you should be happy to hear him say it. In fact, it’s your first real relationship, a normal girl could only dream about what you have with Peter and yet, you just feel upset. 
Your body knew what was going to do before you do. You crash your lips to him passionately, almost erratically. Peter breathes out, a surprised hum rumbles in his throat as you push him until his back is pressed against the wall of the training room. 
You curled your fingers into the fabric of Peter’s shirt and tried to pull him, towards you. He quickly took a hold of your hips, grabbing them so hard that you knew bruises would appear like they did many times before. Peter didn’t doubt your intentions, he instead reveled in the feeling of having you like this. Like he always did. 
Without much trouble, he switched positions, pressing you against the wall. He nipped at your bottom lip, sliding his tongue against yours. You hummed contently as your fingers slide around to the nape of his neck, holding him against you. Peter doesn’t miss a bit, his hands fall from your hips, trailing down to cup your ass, pressing you harder against the wall as he grounded against your core. You moaned quietly against his mouth as you felt him. 
Only then, Peter stops. 
“Love, wait,” he muttered quietly against your mouth as you continued to trail kisses against his jaw and his neck, your fingers trailing through his chest and then to his shorts, tugging at the waistband. “Wait,” he says once again as he takes a hold of your wrist. 
“What?” you whined quietly. 
“We cannot do this here,” he said breathlessly as he closed his eyes. It was getting harder and harder to say not to you, not with that face. 
“Come on,” you whimpered, looking up at him with those damn beautiful puppy eyes. 
Peter stares at you with those big beautiful caramel eyes. He's trying to hold to his self-control, you know it, you can see the battle in his mind. 
“Please,” you asked him quietly as you ground yourself against him one more time. 
Peter let out a heavy breath, and you smirked. His lips crash against yours as he tries to let go of the idea that there are cameras everywhere in this building, that both of you will have to hack Friday for the tape of this but he doesn’t care. Not when your lips are on him when it’s so desperate but tender at the same time. Not with the way your hand feels around his cock, not with the little breaths you let out as he presses his hand against your clit over your shorts. 
It was frantic and desperate. You, parting your legs further for him, rolling your hips against his while Peter does anything he can not moan too loudly as he feels how you're squeezing him.
At least, until you heard how someone cleared his throat. 
Peter lurched away from you, making you gasp loudly as he places you harshly on the floor while he tucks himself into his shorts. You quickly raised your eyes to see Vision staring at the both of you, his none existent eyebrows raised while you tried to straighten out your shirt and shorts. 
“Mrs. Stark,” Vision said quietly. “Mr. Parker,”
“Vision,” you answered softly while Peter’s still looking the other way, his cheeks too warm and too pink to even dare to face Vision at the moment. “Uhm, what’s up?” you asked him while you tried to change the topics. 
“There’s an alarm going off in your lab,” he said quietly while your eyes widened. 
It’d been a while since there were any updates to your case. Tony still didn’t know you were working on it, as far as he was concerned, you were just helping Peter with his suit and accompanying him to patrol, nothing more. He didn’t even know that Peter was looking into something, both of you wanted to tell him together but it’d seemed to disappear since you’d both started dating.
At least, until now. 
Peter turned around at the same time you turned to him. 
“Suit up,”

hoax ~ p.p
chapter one: just a sweet, sweet fantasy
series masterlist
Tumblr media
Despite the fact that Peter had been pining for you the last three years of college, he had never had a conversation last more than a few minutes with you. As hard as he tried, he always got flustered and ran out of things to say or just made the conversation awkward. You never noticed him the way he noticed you, even after you were paired up with Ned for a school project last semester and your friend groups merged in the process. Peter thought his luck will change now that he was running in your circle, but all it did was make it more evident to him that he didn’t have a shot with you. You only saw him as a friend, and even that was an exaggeration of your relationship.
“Hi.”
You jumped a little when you heard Peters voice and looked up from your phone. You hadn’t even noticed that he was already sitting at the table you agreed to meet your friends at. It was pretty common for you not to notice Peter, but that didn’t mean he’d ever stop trying to get your attention.
“Oh, hi Peter. Sorry, I didn’t see you there. How are you?” You asked politely.
“I’m good. You?”
“Good. Thanks for asking.” You replied. You then pulled your phone back out and started to text, making all conversation cease.
“I like your skirt.” He said after a long beat of silence. You looked up in surprise since you thought the conversation had ended.
“Aw, thanks. That’s so nice of you to say.” You smiled before going back to your phone. He sighed in defeat even though this was how your conversations, or lack there or, usually went.
“Yeah, no problem. It’s like jeans but…not.”
“Oh, yeah. I think it’s called denim.” You laughed awkwardly and didn’t know it was was socially acceptable to go back to texting.
“Right. Denim.” He nodded, and conversation ceased once again.
“I like that it’s pleated.” He said after a full minute of silence.
“What?” You asked and looked up from your phone again.
“Your skirt.” He explained while his face turned bright red. He knew he was beating the death out of the skirt topic and it was made even worse by you knowing the same thing.
“Right, my skirt. Thanks. So do I.” You smiled politely again and touched the skirt.
“Hey losers.” MJ said as she approached the table. Peter heard you sigh in relief over not having to be alone with him anymore, and he couldn’t even blame you.
“Hey. Sit with us.” You smiled and patted the table. MJ sat down and the awkward tension dissolved with the presence of a third person. Your other friends, Kate and Gwen, soon joined the table too and the dynamic of the friend group was restored. Much to his disappointment, you and Peter seemed to lie in opposite ends of the friend group. You were friendly with each other, but also couldn’t be left alone together without maximum awkwardness ensuing. You were the people that would laugh at each others jokes in a group setting but never be able to hold a one on one conversation.
“Did you do the trig homework?” MJ asked you.
“Oh yeah. You need it?” You asked and put your backpack on the table to get your homework out. Peter looked up and noticed a pin of Spider-Man’s mask on your backpack. He did a double table and looked at you in surprise to confirm the backpack belonged to you.
“Is that a Spiderman pin?” He asked you.
“Oh, yeah. You haven’t heard? He’s her latest obsession.” Gwen teased you.
“For the record, I’ve always liked him.” You insisted. “I’ve been a fan since day one. The obsession has just gotten worse as I’ve realized he’s the only man for me.”
“Wait, really? He is?” Peter asked with a surprise smile.
“Please don’t get her started.” Kate whined. You ignored her and leaned towards Peter to talk to him.
“You know when you have a celebrity you like and you just know that if you ever met, you’d be great friends?”
“Of course.” Peter shrugged. “Dylan O’Brien would be my best friend if we ever crossed paths.”
“Exactly. That’s how I feel about Spiderman. Except instead of friends, we’d be lovers.” You said simply. A blush painted Peters cheek to hear you talk about him like that.
“Sounds like you really like him.” He smiled shyly.
“I’m in love with him. I have so many videos of him saved on Tik Tok.” You laughed and pulled out your tik tok to show your friends your collection of saved videos.
“Girl. 407?” Gwen gasped. “You’ve saved 407 edits of Spiderman with sexy songs in the background?”
“Um, yeah. I watch them before I go to sleep.” You shrugged and pulled your phone back. Peter was stunned to silence to hear how deep your obsession ran.
“You need help.” MJ snorted. “You don’t even know him.”
“I feel like I do. Haven’t you ever felt that way about someone you haven’t met yet?”
“I have.” Peter spoke up, making you smile.
“See? I’m not crazy. Just a romantic.” You sighed. The conversation changed subjects and Peter was silent as he thought about what he had heard from you. After three years of being hopelessly in love with you, he may have just found his way in.
A few days later, your group agree to meet up in the library to do homework together. Ned was still out sick with the flu, so Peter didn’t have his crutch to lean on. You arrived early to the library and saw that Peter was the first one there. You gulped and braced yourself for the awkwardness that was about to happen and sat down across from him.
“Hey, Peter.” You said politely. He looked up at you and blushed before trying to think of something cool to say.
“Hey. How’s it going? How are you?” He asked.
“Pretty good. I’m a little stressed out over this stupid paper but Gwen said she’d help me today. How are you doing?”
“Really good. And you? How’s it going for you?” He asked before realized he already asked that.
“Uh, I think we covered that.” You joked.
“Right, right. You’re still good, I’m assuming. And, uh, nice shirt by the way.” He complimented you.
“Aw, thanks. It was my moms back in the 80s.” You smiled at him and then opened your laptop, ending the convo.
“I like your hair too. Did you change it?” He asked to try to resuscitate the conversation.
“No. I haven’t washed it in a few days. It’s just greasy.” You laughed awkwardly and ran your fingers through the it.
“Oh.” He gulped. “Well, it looks good.”
“Thanks.” You smiled again just as the rest of the friend group joined you. You both seemed to relax now that everyone was there and you no longer had to limp through a conversation. Peter didn’t say much as the group talked about homework and weekend plans but snuck glances at you the entire time.
“Wait a minute. Why do you have a magazine? What year is this?” MJ laughed and pulled a magazine out of your open backpack. You gave her a playful look and snatched the magazine from her.
“Because. Look at this picture someone took of him yesterday.” You smiled cheekily and laid the magazine out for the table to show them a picture of Spiderman.
“Oh my God. Please. It’s too early for this.” Kate playfully whined and banged her textbook against her head.
“This is the most detailed photo I’ve seen of him yet. It’s so clear. I bet he’s so cute under the mask.” You sighed happily and looked at the picture again. Peter watched the way you stared at the picture in the way he’d been looking at you all these years and smiled to himself. He’d never been able to turn your head, but he was pleased to know Spiderman could.
“Or he’s 30 and has a greasy little rat face.” MJ grimaced.
“Stop it. Don’t ruin my fantasy.” You said and playfully smacked her arm. She laughed and wrapped an arm around you while you continued to stare at the picture.
“Fantasy?” Gwen smiled coyly. “Uh oh. Spill.”
“Okay, so I have this fantasy where he sees me walking home and drops down from the sky to walk me home. Just to make sure I get there safely.” You told the group with a dreamy smile.
“Oh. That’s a lot less erotic then I thought it would be.” Kate said in disappointment.
“Oh, trust me. I have plenty of those. But I’m not sharing any of them here.” You smiled coyly and drummed your fingers on the table. Peter gulped when he realized what you were talking about and turned bright red.
“What else do you fantasize about?” Gwen asked you.
“Mostly him saving me from danger. But low key danger. I don’t want to actually be in danger danger. Maybe just tripping on the sidewalk and he catches me. Or, you know, he stops a car from crushing me like in Twilight.”
“This little crush of yours is getting out of hand.” MJ laughed and shook her head. “You’re literally asking to be crushed by a car now?”
“But imagine how amazing it would be to be his girlfriend.” You gushed. “He could swing me around the city in his arms and kiss me on the top of the Brooklyn bridge. Or take me on dates on the top of the Empire State Building. I want it so bad.”
“So stand in the street until a car comes near you and wait for him to swing you to safety.” MJ said sarcastically.
“Don’t give her ideas.” Kate groaned.
“You don’t think I’ve considered that? I’d do anything for a date. Just one. I swear, I could get him to fall in love with me. I just need one chance.” You sighed and picked up your magazine to admire it.
“I bet he would.” Peter spoke up. You looked at him over the magazine and smiled.
“See? Peter supports me. At least someone’s on my side.” You said and gestured to Peter. You made eye contact with him again and this time, it didn’t feel awkward. You liked that he was being supportive, no matter how silly your argument was.
“I think you’d make a great couple.” Peter continued, making you smile once again.
“Thank you.” You told him. “Now I just need to find a way to talk to him.”
“Maybe leave a couple flies on your windowsill.” Peter suggested. All the girls looked at him in confusion and he felt embarrassed that his joke didn’t land.
“Because he’s a spider. And they eat flies.” He shamefully explained. You stared at him slack jawed for a moment before throwing you head back laughing.
“That was genius.” You laughed. “Although, I hope he doesn’t actually eat bugs. I don’t think I could kiss a guy who eats flies.”
“He doesn’t.” Peter said with such certainty that everyone looked at him in confusion again.
“I’m….I’m guessing.” He lied. You smiled at him again before going back to talking to your friends. The conversation faded to background noise as Peter constructed a plan in his head.
After class that day, Peter changed into his suit and hung out on top of a building to watch the people walking in and out of campus. If you wanted to talk to Spiderman that badly, he was gonna bring Spiderman to you. Finally, he spotted you walking to your dorm with your earbuds in as you typed away on your phone.
“Hey! How are you? I’m Spiderman!” He whispered to himself to practice what he would say to you.
“No. That’s stupid. She already knows it’s me.” He grumbled. “Hey! What’s up? It’s me, your friendly neighborhood giant fucking loser Jesus Christ this is so difficult. Okay. Just be normal. Just talk to her. Just…”
Peter trailed off when he heard the sound of an engine revving. A car was speeding down the street and heading right towards the blissfully unaware you. Peter immediately jumped down and landed between you and the car, putting his hand up to stop it right before it could hit you. The car bent against his hand and came to a halt as Peter held you close to his body. People on the street gasped and started to take picture while you gasped for air. You pulled your earbuds out and looked at Peter in disbelief.
“Hi.” He said through the mask.
“Oh my God. It’s you.” Your voice shook as you tightened your grip on him. You were shaking with adrenaline and fear so he tightened his grip around your body.
“It’s me.” He said weakly. He had almost seen you die but now had to pretend you were a stranger he had never met before.
“You just saved my life.” You told him as a smile crossed your face.
“It’s my job.” He said simply. Your smile grew and you threw your arms around him in a hug.
“Thank you.” You whispered into his ear. Peter blushed under the mask and hugged you back. People on the streets clapped and took videos, but you were unaware of any of it. The man driving the car got out just as the police arrived to take yours and Peters statements. Once you were all squared away with the police, Peter wrapped an arm around your waist.
“Let me get you somewhere safe.” Peter said before swinging you a few blocks away from the sight of the crash. You held on tight and let out a happy scream as he swung you since it was a dream of yours coming true. When he set you down, you smoothed your hair down and looked at him.
“Thank you so much for saving me. I’m such an idiot. I was so focused on my phone that I just mindlessly kept walking even when the walk sign wasn’t on.”
“You’re not the idiot. That driver was. He was going 60 miles an hour in a school zone. It wouldn’t have mattered if the wall sign was on or not. I’m just glad I could be here to stop the car.”
“Just like Twilight.” You whispered to yourself.
“What was that?”
“Nothing. Sorry. I’m just a little starstruck.” You admitted with a shy smile.
“Don’t be.” He shrugged. “I’m just your friendly neighborhood Spiderman.”
“I know. But I’m kinda your biggest fan.”
“Well, I’m flattered. It’s nice to have a fan.” He chuckled through the mask. For the first time, Peter actually found it easy to talk to you. Conversation was flowing and he didn’t even have to try.
“I’m seriously obsessed with you. I’ve been following you since you first started, back when I was in high school. I think what you do is amazing. And now that you stopped me from becoming street meat, I’ll love you forever.” You told him before you knew what you were saying. You felt embarrassed to be freaking out so much over him, but he didn’t seem to think it was weird.
“I’m happy to hear that.” He smiled shyly at the sound of you promising to love him forever.
“Good. And I promise, I’ll never look at my phone while walking again. I’ll be super careful from now on.”
“What were you so focused on anyway?” He wondered.
“Oh, um…” You trailed off and just showed him your phone instead of trying to explain. It turned out the thing that had distracted you so much that you almost got hit by a car was a Tik Tok of footage of Spiderman edited to the song Deep Throat by Cupcakke. You smiled in embarrassment while Peter burst out laughing.
“That’s…intense.” He said once he regained his composure.
“I’m sorry. I tried to warn you. I said I was a fan.” You laughed and relaxed a little. You felt like you were being so weird, but he seemed to enjoy it.
“Can I walk you home?” He offered, making you light up.
“Really? I mean, yeah, sure.”
Peter put a gloved hand on your back and started walking with you back to your dorm. Conversation flowed easier than it ever had before and Peter felt like you were meeting each other for the first time. Talking to you as Spiderman was the antitheses of talking to you as Peter. His jokes didn’t fall flat, there was no awkward silence, and you were the one constantly complimented him.
“You know, I’ve fantasized about this very moment a million times.” You admitted to him as you neared your dorm.
“Have you?” He smiled coyly.
“Yeah. I just didn’t think it was actually gonna happen.”
“I don’t mind walking a pretty girl home. Maybe it can happen more often.” He timidly suggested. You stopped walking and looked at him to see if he was serious.
“I would like that.” You grinned.
“Cool. I’m smiling back at you, by the way. Sorry, I know it’s hard to tell under this.” He joked and gestured to the mask.
“It’s okay. I actually could tell.” You told him. Peter smiled only again and felt his heart swoon for you. You got to your dorm all too soon, meaning this conversation had come to an end.
“This is me.” You smiled sadly and pointed to your building. “Can I ask you something? Before you go?”
“Sure. Go ahead.”
“How old are you?” You said, close to a whisper.
“21.”
“Really?” You gasped. “Me too. You have no idea how relived I am to hear that.”
“Relieved? Why?”
“Because now I know my crush is age appropriate. So I can fully indulge in the fantasy. And because now I get to laugh in my friends faces who thought you were 30 or something.”
“It’s not really a fantasy if it’s really happening, is it?” Peter said as he stepped closer to you. Your breath caught in your throat and you broke into a dreamy smile.
“Trust me. It’s definitely a fantasy.” You sighed happily.
“Well, have a good night.” Peter said and squeezed your arm.
“You too.” You replied as you touched where his gloved hand had just been. Peter looked over his shoulder to wave at you before swinging away. Once you thought he was out of earshot, you let out a happy scream and jumped up and down. But you were never out of ear shot when it came to Peter, and he heard the whole thing with a grin on his face.

Need to Know II (Peter Parker x Reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: When she was ready to get back out on the dating scene after dumping a certain Winter Soldier, Y/N was a woman ready to get back out there. She just never expected to find herself in a relationship with a certain nerdy spider. Warnings: Reader is basically Penelope Garcia, toxic ex! Bucky, fratboy!Peter, older woman/younger man, age gap relationship, mentions of ageism, eventual pregnancy Dividers by @firefly-graphics Banner by @vase-of-lilies
Tumblr media
Part I
Present Day
To say that Y/N ever thought she'd be in a relationship with someone younger than her, she would be lying if she said she did. She had never expected to find herself in a relationship where she was the older one, but here she was, laying on her Cal King bed as she watched Peter type away on his computer, writing a paper for one of his robotics classes.
Peter let out a frustrated groan before closing his laptop and falling down beside her, Y/N looked at him with a amused look on his face.
"This professor makes me regret going to college", Peter groaned, Y/N chuckled.
"You're just overthinking yourself", Y/N said as she scratched his head. "You'll do great, remember, it's your last year."
"Between school and being Spider-man, sometimes I feel burnt out", Peter said.
"You'll do great", Y/N repeated as Peter practically purred at the head scratches. “Once you’re done, you’ll be able to work with Tony like he promised and you won’t be so stressed out juggling everything.”
"How did you even become a technical analyst for the Avengers anyways? It's kinda random because you popped up out of nowhere."
"I hacked into the government's system and got on their watchlist, which led me to eventually hacking into FRIDAY for fun one day."
Peter looked at her and she shrugged but it was the truth; hacking and such had always been her thing and eventually led to her being sought out by Tony himself after she may have hacked into his system for shits and giggles.
"Well, that explains everything", Peter said, "can you hack into my professor's computer?"
"I could, but it'd ruin the pardon Tony got me", Y/N pouted, "but for you, I'd risk it."
She leaned over to Peter and planted a kiss on his lips, and Peter chuckled at her comment.
"Alright, maybe let's not send you to federal prison", Peter joked, "but you wanna go down to Delmar's and get sandwiches?"
Y/N nodded, "I just have to shower first."
As she begun to get up from the bed, she looked at Peter and said, "Wanna come shower with me?"
"Babe, if I ever say no, take me to Bruce because there's something clearly wrong with me."
With a giggle, Peter chased her to the bathroom.
Tumblr media
After a steamy shower session that lasted longer than it probably should have, Peter was taking a quick call from his best friend, Ned, who had been accepted and was attending MIT before they left to Delmar's. Y/N decided to wait in the kitchen, walking in to see Wanda and Vision making brownies.
"Hey guys", Y/N said as she sat down at one of the kitchen island chairs.
"Oh hey Y/N", Wanda smiled as she mixed the batter.
"Hello Y/N", Vision greeted as he watched Wanda mix the batter.
"Venturing Vision's culinary skills to baking?" Y/N asked, Vision nodded and Wanda laughed.
"Where are you off to?" Wanda teased, "Peter whisking you away somewhere?"
So far, a majority of the Avengers seemed to be alright with her relationship with Peter, ignoring the age gap between the two of them.
Well, nearly all of them...
"We're going to Delmar's", Y/N replied back.
"Oh! Bring me back a sandwich", Wanda chimed.
"Will do", Y/N said, "hey, where is everyone?"
"Steve and Sam went on another run, Nat and Clint are on a quick recon mission", Vision replied.
The sound of shrill laughter boomed into their ears and Y/N saw Wanda wince and shake her head at the noise while she was mouthing 'wow' to herself.
Y/N knew who that laughter belonged to and she couldn't help, but want to laugh at it all.
"Oh, Y/N, I didn't think you'd be here."
Looking over her shoulder, Y/N raised a brow to the person who spoke in a condescending tone.
Dot or Dottie as she heard Bucky call the blonde haired woman stood in the entrance of kitchen, popping a piece of bubblegum loudly while her phone was in her hand. If Y/N was being honest, her relationship with Bucky had been on the rocks for a while before Dot, but Dot was the final nail in the coffin to end her relationship.
And at one point, Y/N would have felt some form of bitterness towards Dot's presence, but now, she felt nothing but annoyance at the woman's persistent need to try and one up for some reason or another.
"Why wouldn't I be here? I live here", Y/N replied in a confused tone.
"I figured you'd be... rocking the cradle and all", Dot said with a smirk.
Y/N wanted to groan at the jab towards her relationship with Peter, it was Dot's biggest thing to constantly bring up.
"It's robbing the cradle", Peter interjected as he walked into the kitchen. "Not that it applies to us
Peter walked over to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders before pressing a kiss to her temple. Y/N noticed Dot's eyes hyper-fixated on Peter as Peter greeted Wanda and Vision but Y/N knew that were Dot was, Bucky was soon following and Y/N was not in the mood for dealing with the man.
"Ready, babe?" Peter asked as Y/n saw Vision look at the brownie batter.
"Yup", Y/n said as she slid out of the chair.
"Aren't you a little too old to be wearing that?" Dot asked, Y/N frowned.
Her and Dot were the same age and Y/n wore a yellow sundress since it was humid this time of year in New York. Y/N raised a eyebrow at Dot and glanced at Wanda, who rolled her eyes at Dot's comment.
"Nope", Y/n said, looking at the dress. "But you might wanna apply that logic to yourself, Dottie. We're the same age after all."
Dot frowned as Y/n got up from her seat, feeling Peter wrap an arm around her waist as he began to led them away fro the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Y/N looked at Peter amused as he told her about his squished sandwich theory, a smile on her face as he explained that it made the sandwich taste better. Wanda had happily taken her sandwich, running away to continue watch Modern Family in her and Vision's room.
That left her and Peter in the living room, watching Ahsoka on Disney+.
"Man, I want to buy her lightsaber", Peter whined, "it looks so cool."
"It's a nice lightsaber", she agreed with a chuckle. "Personally, I want Darth Maul's."
"That's a huge one", Peter said, "they literally have to assemble it in parts."
"But imagine how intimidating it would be", she argued.
"Now what are you two lovebirds talking about", Tony chimed as he walked in.
"Lightsabers", Peter answered with a grin.
Tony and Peter began talking about some upgrades for his suit when her phone vibrated, she grasped it from under her and saw it was a text from Bucky. She wished she could block him, but since he was a member of the Avengers, she couldn't since she was a asset for them.
Opening the text, she frowned as a slew of texts began coming in.
Tumblr media
She rolled her eyes and put her phone away from her as she hit 'DO NOT DISTURB'. She wasn't sure why Bucky had been like this, sending texts like this but she hoped he got the message soon as Tony said he was leaving to take Pepper on a date, allowing them to go back to their show.
Y/N relaxed back into Peter's embrace, laying her head on his shoulder without a care. She felt happy, even if she hadn't expected it to be with someone younger than her as Peter kissed the top of her head before she connected their lips together.
Tumblr media
It was their monthly Avengers get-together over at the Compound, everyone dressed in their nicest clothes as Tony held a nice fancy dinner. Y/N wore a backless cocktail dress that she had a hard time convincing Peter he could not mess with until after the party was over, although, she had a hard time keeping herself from Peter with his rolled up sleeves that showcased his arms.
Right now, they were all scattered around the room; Nat was working the bar for some reason or another.
"Hey there Tech Queen", Nat said as Y/N approached her. "Where's your other half?"
"Talking science with Strange and Tony", she shrugged with a grin. "Not sure if I trust you behind the bar, Nat. You make the drinks as strong as Asgardian liquor."
Nat laughed just as Steve walked up to them, he kissed the side of Nat's head.
"What are you two laughing about?" he asked.
"Nat's bartending", Y/N answered, Steve winced.
"Yeah, maybe let's not", Steve said, Nat laughed and waved him off.
Y/N looked around to see Carol engaged in some form of arm wrestle with Thor, Sam watching the two, Wanda was conversing with Pepper, Peter still with Strange and Tony, and Bruce and Rhodey talking.
She wasn't sure where Vision was, knowing him he was probably phasing through some walls or something.
"Here, drink this", Nat said with a grin.
"Oh no", Y/N said with a smile. "I don't trust you with making drinks. Last time I had one, I--"
"Yeah, Y/N, do tell us what happened last time you had one."
Her mood was killed, instantly as she noticed Bucky had arrived. Her face said it all as Nat frowned at the man, she noticed even Steve frowning.
"Did this conversation involve you?" Y/N sassily said with a raised brow. "I believe this was a A,B, and C conversation."
"Oh, I was just wondering if the last time Nat made you a drink, you maybe did some things that you regret… or someone.”
"No, no regrets here", Y/N said as she looked at her nails.
Bucky was beginning to look like he had sucked on a lemon by his facial expression just as she felt a pair of arms around her, looking over her shoulder to see Peter.
"Mr. Barnes", Peter cooly said.
"Parker", Bucky gritted.
Y/N saw Nat taking a amused slip of her drink.
"Dateless tonight?" Peter asked with a smirk.
"Just for tonight", Bucky grumbled.
"Huh, how... unfortunate for you", Peter said with false sympathy. "If you don't mind, well, I know you won't."
Peter gestured for them to leave a fuming Bucky and a very amused Natasha to be dealt with by Steve.
Tumblr media
Later, Y/N wrapped her arms around Peter's neck and he pulled her closer to her; Peter began to sway them with a grin on his face as she playfully shook her head at him, a grin making its way onto her face.
"Have I told you that you're pretty?" Peter asked.
"Not today, I don't think", she teased as Peter bumped their noses.
"What kind of boyfriend am I then?" Peter teased.
She felt happy with Peter, their relationship felt easy and uncomplicated as Peter connected their lips, squeezing her body a little as he tried to bring her in closer.

summary: in which you and peter have a fun day at the carnival where he finally tells you how much he really loves you. 
warnings: none, so much fluff, peter being so sweet, also peter winning you a stuffed bear! 
word count: 2.1k
author’s note: hi loves! welcome to my first peter fic, i love him so much, and i hope you enjoy this fic! please remember to reblog, thank you! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Come on Pete, please, it’s only gonna be here for two more days”, you said as you dragged Peter to the carnival that you had wanted to go to for the past week, after hearing Ned talk on and on about how fun it was when he went with his family, you decided that you and your best friend, Peter could not possibly miss out on it. 
You could already smell the sweet caramel of what you recognised was popcorn and of course, the balloons and soft toys that children were holding onto as they walked out was just if not more tempting than the snacks. 
“Alright, but (Y/N), I gotta go back to Mr Stark and-”
“No worries Pete, I will tell dad we were busy!” you said albeit a little too excitedly as you interlock your fingers with the brunette’s, taking him to the entrance, your dad, Tony Stark was never too strict about schedules, and he wouldn’t mind if you decide to take his mentee out for harmless fun, after all, carnivals never really stopped by in New York, and every time it did, coincidentally you or Peter wouldn’t be around, so this time around, you were determined to have the full experience of the fun that awaited you. 
You handed the tickets to the ticket collector, smiles on both you and Peter’s face as the man nodded, stamping the entry chop on your hands, you didn’t realise that your hand was still interlaced with Pete’s as you entered the carnival, the sounds of laughter and the smell of cotton candy filled your senses and you excitedly said, “roller coaster first!” 
“You’re not serious, come on!” Peter groaned despite having a small smile on his face as he watched your face light up, god, you had no idea how beautiful you are in his eyes, you had a way of lighting up every room you walked into with a gorgeous smile and your friendly demeanour, even in school, you’d never allow your friends to be alone, and you would always, always offer a helping hand or listening ear to anyone who needed it. 
Despite being a Stark, the daughter of a genius billionaire, you didn’t give yourself any airs, always having a bounce in your step, and Peter had fallen so hard, he didn’t even have time to stop himself or to think before he did. How could he, with your tight bear hugs and the way you called him Pete so affectionately, he was in deep, and he could never ever say no to you or those beautiful eyes of yours that never failed to make his heart skip a beat. 
You queued up for the ride, and it didn’t take long before you and the brunette were strapped into your seats which was at the very front, giving both of you a view of the sunset, the colours of pink, orange and perhaps a hint of purple were painted across the sky like a canvas. “It’s beautiful isn’t it Pete?” you asked and he nods, Peter had almost wanted to say you are prettier, but he stops himself, he licks his lips, feeling your hand grasp his, it’s funny or perhaps ironic that he being, well Spiderman and all could swing from building to building and yet here he was, scared of a roller coaster ride. 
He would never let MJ know, god knows she would laugh her ass off at him. “Ready?” you asked, “ready than I’ve ever been” he jokes and you laugh when you watch his eyes widen when the ride started moving, the sounds of people cheering as it did made you hold on to Peter’s hand just a little tighter, and you squeezed your eyes shut as the it surged forward, thrusting you downwards and you both screamed, he wind blowing against your face as you laugh. 
The feeling of adrenaline pumps through your veins as the roller coaster took a hard right turn, turning the cart upside down for just a few seconds before it moved forwards at an unbelievable speed, causing you and Peter to let out a shriek, your fingers grasping his as the ride finally came to a halt. 
Your hair was in a mess and you giggle when Peter points it out, “yours is messy too Parker”. You say and he frowns, “no it's not” you reach out a hand, ruffling his curls, laughing when he shoots you a playful glare, “now it is!” you say, running off, his gaze fixed on you as you stuck out your tongue.
“Come back here Stark!” he calls and you ran, giggling when he finally catches up to you, wrapping a strong arm around your waist, “got you” he said softly, his warm breath tickling your ear and you breathe, your heart was thundering in your chest as you turn around, smile still on his face, you were both breathless, the sunset hung behind him and in that moment you felt the very same butterflies you felt when you first met Peter in your tummy. 
Thoughts raced through your mind as he grins, ruffling your hair in return, you wore a grin on your face, you were in love with Peter, he had a kind heart which you always suspected was made of gold given the way he’d always put others first. It started as a simple crush which bloomed into something more when he arrived at the tower, under the guidance of your father who was more than happy to allow Peter to work with you. 
Spending more than half the day together with the boy you crushed on only pushed you deeper, your feelings for him getting harder and harder to hide as the days passed, that even your own father, Tony seemingly had a clue about it, it didn’t really help that the rest of the team teased you about it, pointing how you’d gaze at Peter work on his suit. 
“You’re staring again” Natasha had said, a grin on her face as you mumbled a no under your breath. “It’s the heart eyes” Bucky would add jokingly. They weren’t wrong because yes, you were in love with your best friend, not that you’d ever say it.
Tumblr media
A few minutes passed and seven saw you and Peter standing at a stall, your eyes trained on the huge bear that sat atop the other prizes, it was a big, caramel brown soft toy that you so badly wanted, sure you had many others but this, you were sure was going to be your favourite. 
“One round please” you said, smiling but when the gamekeeper, a man, shrugged, “you gotta hit twelve of the targets, no one’s ever done it,” you felt your smile falter as he simply hands you a orange toy gun, “oh,” you mumbled, sure you had during training taken down a few targets but to hit all of the fourteen targets seemed a tad impossible, you were not the best at it too. 
You were about to lift the gun up, uncertainty present in your shaky hands when Peter stepped behind you, “wanna trash him?” he asks, grasping your hand safely in his, and you nod, “you sure you got this?” you ask and Peter smirks, “are you doubting me?” he asks and you giggle, “never” 
Peter steps behind you, “I-I’m not good at this Pete” you started and he simply smiles, “I’ll teach you, you trust me right?” he asks, “with my life,” you reply, laughing when he rolls his eyes playfully, wrapping his arms around your front, pulling you close to his chest as his hands gently hold yours, guiding the gun towards the first target. 
“Look straight,” he says softly, and you could feel your heart racing in your chest as you try to do what he says, but that was almost impossible, given how close Peter actually was to you, you could feel his frame hug yours, and his warm breath tickling your neck as he leans in closer, steadying your hands, your face was burning up as he tells you to straighten your stance, his voice low and smooth as silk, the feelings you harboured for him was slowly bubbling to the surface. 
There was nothing that you did not love about Peter, he could always make you laugh, even on your bad days and he stayed with you, no matter the circumstances and honestly, that was all that mattered. As both your fingers press down on the trigger, the plastic bullet flies, hitting the target straight on, causing it to fall and you cheer. 
“Thirteen more to go,” Pete adds softly and you nod excitedly, allowing him to guide you, teaching you how to take aim and you swore when his lips ever so gently brushes past your ear, you almost combust, butterflies in your stomach as you tried your best to not shiver when his hand slowly brushes yours, holding on to it as you fire another shot, and that went on for a good two minutes, you were hitting targets with ease, and as if that wasn’t good enough, the look on the gamekeeper’s face was completely priceless when you were left with three more shots. 
The basic number to win the teddy bear was twelve but you and Peter were determined to hit all of the targets, and with the brunette on your side, you were pretty damn sure that was a win. 
“Last one, remember, what I told you,” Peter adds and you nod, straightening your stance, loosening your grip on the gun, taking aim and you bit your lip as the bullet flew, your eyes widening when it hit the last out of the twelve targets, you and Peter cheering as you pumped your fist in the air. 
“You did it,” Peter exclaimed and you shook your head, “No, we did it Parker,” you replied, smiling as you took the gigantic soft toy away from the hands of the gamekeeper who had stared at all of the shot targets, completely mortified.
“Thank you Peter” you said softly, your heart thundering in your chest as you moved up, pressing a gentle kiss on his cheek before interlocking your fingers in his as you both made your way to the next ride. Peter could feel his stomach doing flips, he could still feel your lips on his cheek, and his heart was racing, the love he had tried to keep a secret from you was slowly unravelling itself, and god, he just couldn’t help it, every fibre of him just wanted to pull you close, hold you and tell you how he really feels about you. 
You walked towards the queue for the ferris wheel ride, your eyes looking at the darkening sky in wonder, it was gorgeous, the sun had set and the purple and pink were intertwining into a darker blue, you wondered just how many times you had missed such a sunset, making a mental note to make a trip to the tower’s roof to catch the sheer beauty that nature had to offer whenever you can. 
It wasn’t long before you and Peter got a pod, the door closing behind you. 
“(Y/N)” Peter starts and your gaze meets his.
“Yes?” 
“I had a great time today,” Peter says and you smile, “I had a great time too Pete, and you have nothing to thank me for” you answer, and the brunette grasps your hand gently. 
“I do, I have so much to thank you for.”
“Pete-”
“You’ve been there for me, even when you didn’t have to, I-I couldn’t have come this far without you (Y/N), what I’m trying to say is that you’ve been my light for as long as I can remember, you keep me grounded and I love you so much. I love when you laugh because you make me laugh, and I love every little thing about you.” Peter said softly. 
He cups your face as he leans in close, his eyes searching yours for any hints of rejection and when all he saw was raw emotion, he moves in closer, his lips gently pressing against yours, your eyes fluttering shut as he captures your lips with his, pulling you closer to him as he deepens the kiss, your lips moving in sync with his, it felt perfect, almost as though it was always meant to be, and you were right where you wanted to be. 
Peter slowly pulls away, his eyes filled with adoration that reflected in your own as he holds your hand, smiles on both your faces as the ferris wheel halts at the very top, and as the brunette feels your fingers interlace with his, he knew that he had found his home. 
You.

part 1 | part 2 | part 4
Tumblr media
you were there everyday.
peter saw you every day, sitting on your fire escape, your face in the palms of your hands, looking up at the starts. even though you could barely see any with the amount of pollution in the city during winters.
two months had passed since peter talked to you. really talked to you. he saw you every day in the hallways of the hell everyone called school and every night on your fire escape.
you were so close to him, yet so far as he watched you, sure to stay out of your line of sight. the superhero assured himself that it wasn’t stalking if he was on his patrol and happened to stop by a building that happened to be near your apartment building.
peter remembered the day he landed on the same place your elbows rested now, and looked for you in the dark room and he wished, every night, that he could undo whatever it was that led to this situation. or maybe he’d convince you to talk to him about your feelings as soon as he found out about the disease. or he could express his own feeling which he’d kept dismissing as a ‘silly schoolboy crush’ everytime.
he would just about do anything to get you back.
but he couldn’t think of a way. not for the past two months. not since the day you walked out on him. and as he watched you recede to your room at 09:45, just the same time as every day, he thought maybe he deserved this after all and a feeling of familiar pain took over the brunette’s lungs as he took off.
it was a good thing that ned was talking to him. because gwen wasn’t. he didn’t really expect her to after he’d ghosted her for about as long as he’d known you had feelings for him.
but ned was there. he kept trying to stay in touch even after five weeks of his friend ignoring him like the plague. peter was just grieving and forever grateful that ned understood that.
“the empire strikes back? or return of the jedi? i’m in a star wars mood today.” ned stated as he picked up the two tapes in each of his hands. saturday night was a movie night. ned had invited peter and another girl from his art class, michelle, over. peter didn’t really know her well and she didn’t seem too interested in conversation.
“when are you not in a star wars mood?” mj rolled her eyes, however a little smile played over her lips, as she skimmed through the pages of her book.
“maybe you should decide then.” ned suggested.
“fractured.” mj said within a second, shrugging her shoulders, “it’s a good one. quite underrated.”
ned seemed to think for a moment before he looked at peter, “what do you say, man?”
“i don’t mind.” peter said, giving his friend a pursed smile.
ned nodded and started the movie. as the opening credits rolled in, mj looked at ned and mouthed, “what’s his deal?”
“it’s complicated.” ned mouthed back.
peter rolled his eyes, hearing the two of them whisper around behind his back. however, he couldn’t fight what ned had said. it was complicated. and he didn’t want it to be.
and so peter decided that it was enough.
that night, on his daily patrol, he stopped by the same old building facing your apartment but this time instead of waiting for you to walk out of your window, he swung over and before he knew his fist was against your window, knocking at the glass gently until he saw a figure behind the curtains.
your figure.
you pulled the curtains apart, revealing your face and for a moment peter felt all air knocked out of his lungs. he hasn’t seen you this close since… *that* day.
“peter?” hearing your voice pulled him out of the trance he’d suddenly entered, “um, what are you doing here?”
peter remained silent as the mechanical eyes on his suit grew wider by a fraction. he had decided that he needed to fix this mess. but how; he didn’t bother to think about that. peter didn’t usually feel this nervous when he was covered top to bottom in his spandex suit but now he could feel his ragged breath against his mask.
“okay…” you stood there awkwardly, knowing peter was struggling to say something. you didn’t know why he was here but you weren’t gonna help him right now, “i don’t know what to say if you’re not gonna talk.” you gave him a pursed smile.
“i- uh. i-i want to talk.” peter laid out.
“oh, about what?”
“how’s school?” peter asked as if the past two months didn’t exist at all.
“it’s fine…” you trailed off, “boring.”
“right. i-i didn’t see you in ages.”
“i’m right here.” you nodded at him.
“nice.” peter was trying to stall the conversation but he’d run out of things to say, “listen, can we talk about…” he racked his brain to find something. *anything*
“about?”
“about you? i miss you.” peter sighed, watching your eyebrows furrow at his claim. did you not want him to miss me? did he just make a mess of the earlier mess that he was trying to solve?
he watched your fingers grip the curtains tighter, just about ready to shut it on his face, “pete, i think you should-”
“n-no, no, no. no. please. i didn’t mean that!” peter said, instantly realizing how it might have sounded, “wait, i do mean that. um, do you want me to? mean that?”
you found his nervousness adorable. it was probably easy for peter to think that it meant nothing to you but he didn’t know how easy it would be for him to crawl right back into your heart.
and that’s why you needed to stop this.
“don’t come to my balcony.” peter’s heart dropped to the pit of his stomach hearing you say those words next. you weren’t even meeting his eyes as you added, “please.”
may could tell her nephew was going through a hard time. she saw him sulk around the apartment every weekend and this time around wasn’t any different. she watched him swirl around the last bits of his cereal, deep in thought, “got any plans for the weekend?”
“not really.” her nephew replied.
“what about gwen, maybe you can invite her over for dinner!” may smiled, hoping to lighten the mood.
“that was months ago.” peter stated simply, “i don’t think she’d be interested.”
“then how about we go out for dinner?”
“i appreciate you doing this for me, may, i really do but i-” he sighed, not knowing how to refuse the offer, “i’m sorry, i can’t.”
may hated to see her nephew like this. she’d always tried for him to be comfortable around her. enough to share something that was bothering him this much “just tell me what’s wrong, son.”
“well, i-it’s a long story.”
she gave him an assuring smile, “i’ve got nowhere to be.”
so he told her. he told her everything from the day he found you in your room, to the day you ran away to hide in the bathroom, to the day you left him ‘for the better’.
he just left out the detail where he was going through the same problem now.
however, he did feel lighter after sharing everything with his aunt. she tried to help by suggesting him ideas to sort the situation out between the two of you. the situation was a little too complicated. peter hated that word
the next day, as you were pulling out your physics book from your locker, you saw him approaching you again, “hey.” peter said, waving at you.
you raised your eyebrows at him, “hi?”
“walk to class with me?” he asked, hoping you’d say yes. the two of you shared ap physics so what could be the loss in walking together.
you nodded and started walking so suddenly that peter had to take a quick run to catch up to you, “look, i know we left some things unfigured and-”
“i don’t think this is the right time to talk about that.” you stated, looking straight ahead of you.
“okay. then tell me when will be the right time?” he persisted.
you sighed, finally looking at him, “peter, i told you to-”
“you told me to not come to your balcony. i’m not on your balcony.” your eyes met for a second and peter held them with so much intensity you had to look away.
you hesitated for a moment, “the fire escape. same time as yesterday.”
peter blinked, not believing you were actually ready to talk to him, “are you sure?”
“do not push it.” you shook your head at him and he knew better. so he stood there, watching you leave for a class you two shared.
he hoped tonight would make things better between the two of you.
it had become a habit for peter to land on the building in front of yours instead of directly swinging to your fire escape. he made a mental note to stop doing that.
he knocked at your window, second night in a row. you were pulling apart the curtains again and this time, you got out to the fire escape. peter jumped down from the railing and beside you.
“so?” you initiated, “what is it that you wanna talk about?”
“about you. how have you been?”
“better.” you stated, giving him a little smile, “you?”
“i’m okay.”
“for the record, i missed you too.”
“o-oh.” peter felt his cheeks warm against the material of his mask. the air was gradually turning chilly. the city was on the brink of december but it was somehow still warm. or maybe that was just peter because the next moment he found you shivering as a gust of wind passed by, rubbing your hands together, “you okay?”
you nodded, “a little cold.”
you watched as he shifted a little closer to you, your faces inches apart. you could see all the intricate designs that held his suit together, resisting yourself to reach up and trace along the web-like design, “i-it’s got an in-built heater.”
the two of you stayed in silence, you staring up at the sky like you did every day and peter couldn’t resist but say because he finally had the chance to, “you can’t even see anything up there.”
“you can actually! you just need to focus more.” you turned to face him, catching him already looking at you. you averted your gaze back to the stars quickly.
“look, there’s ursa major.” he pointed out.
“yeah! cool, right?”
“it’s actually pretty hot.” peter said, realizing you didn’t get his joke when you gave him a confused look, “well, because it’s a star and stars are… hot.” he chuckled awkwardly.
“that was a terrible joke.” you deadpanned before letting out a laugh.
“come on, you know you liked it.” peter grinned.
“absolutely not!” you laughed, further proving his point, “however it did remind me, do you want some hot chocolate?”
the two of you made your way inside through the window. peter pulled off his mask finally and you took in his appearance. his cheeks were slightly red, probably due to the cold, hair ruffled as he shook his head to let a few strands out of his face. he’d really let his hair grow out. you avoided eye contact once he caught you staring, “i’ll go get it.”
peter looked around the room. you had done some redecorating. a few of your pictures with him were missing– in fact only one picture of you two together remained on your wall and it wasn’t even the two of you it was a group photo from back when your class went on a field trip– which was a little unsettling to peter but right now, talking to you was a big enough step so he pushed all the other worries to the back of his head.
the sound of two voices arguing pulled peter out of his thoughts. the voices belonged to you and your mother, he figured, and found you two talking about him?
he heard your mom’s voice loud and clear, “then why the two mugs?”
“because i was craving two hot chocolates.” you reasoned.
“y/n. come on! the past month has been so much progress. there were no flowers, not even once!”
before peter could register whatever was happening, you rushed inside the room, slamming the door with the help of your foot as you placed the aforementioned mugs on your study table.
“you need to hide in the closet.” you hurried, pushing peter a bit towards the closet door.
“what? y/n, i’m not in the closet anymore, you know i’m bi-”
“this is not the time to make jokes, please! just hide!” you whisper yelled.
peter placed his palms on either side of your face, sensing your heart palpitating. he caressed your cheeks, way too calm as your mom knocked at your door, “hey, hey, calm down.” he took a deep breath, compelling you to do the same, “i’ll leave now, don’t worry. see you tomorrow.”
he gave you a smile, quickly making his way over to your window and stepped outside before closing the curtains just the way you kept it, while you opened the door to your room, letting your very frustrated mom inside, “where is he?”
“where is what?” you tried to act casually, “i told you i just can’t have enough of hot chocolate.”
“y/n y/l/n. where is he?” she demanded yet again.
you sighed in defeat, finding a sudden interest in the wooden floor, “he left.”
it was her turn to let out a sigh. you could tell she was disappointed because any time she wanted to express that, she addressed you by your whole name, “miss y/n y/l/n, do you know why i’d let you opt out of surgery?”
“because i wanted to?” you offered, giving her a meek smile.
“no. because you were starting to get better. you were maintaining your distance from him and you were healing.” your mother said.
if peter was anything akin to confused before, he was perplexed now. unbeknownst to the two of you, he’d listened to everything that was going on inside. the dots were connecting themselves but peter seemed to be refusing the possibility that it was all true.
you never got a surgery?
peter felt something in his chest but this feeling was different than what he’d experienced for the past two months. he felt an unprecedented warmth spread throughout his lungs.
like hope. like everything would eventually be okay.

magnetic attraction 
part one. 
tasm!peter x fem!reader 
summary: after a bad interaction with peter, your interaction with spider-man could not be any more chaotic. 
warnings: ha. angst/fluff. and then. so much banter. too much banter. 
a/n: to bob, who put on her spider-man mask and pretended to roleplay with me (also i don’t hate john green. the fault in our stars is good.)
Tumblr media
*
"hey, what's the answer to number seven?" 
here's the thing. 
despite any and all efforts made to introduce peter into your life as an ex--because you broke up. that's a thing--he is anything but. 
simple solution, you know. 
avoid him. 
follow the rules of break-ups. write yourself a checklist and make sure that there aren't any empty boxes left at the end of the day. no spaces to fill, no void to think about. 
channel the resentment. fuel the anger, make yourself even madder, make him a bad guy so that maybe you won't miss him this much. block his number, forget any important thing that you know about him. 
simple. easy. breathing is hard in comparison. 
and still, you can't do any of it. 
because you don't hate him. you really, really can't. 
and the thing, you and peter have always been magnets. 
even before any of it, you were drawn to each other. 
when he pushed, you pulled. when you pushed--he grabbed on so tight you were worried about blood circulation. 
you met him in chemistry, and after that, you met him everywhere else. 
the grocery store and on campus and walking home from places that peter really shouldn't have been. 
you met him and that was that. 
you have always been lab partners. and you're not speaking to him enough--at all, because there are rules--to fix the issue. to ask to sit somewhere else. 
to break this foundation with a sledgehammer. 
and if there's a tiny part of you that just can't let go--erase a checkmark--then you ignore it. you don't want his warmth. you don't want to feel him laughing right next to you. you don't want to even know peter at all. 
you don't-- 
"what?" you don't look over at him. it's an unspoken rule. 
"number seven." 
"it's--" you breathe in, steal a look at his paper. completely blank. "can't you see it?" 
"what?" peter's voice is so soft, so quiet and unrelenting that you can barely hear it. 
it blares like a siren in your ear. 
"my paper. can't you see it? i can see yours." 
"why are you looking at my paper?" 
this might've been a joke, four weeks ago. 
"peter." 
he doesn't respond. pretends to write something down even though you both know that he was sleeping the whole class--until the teacher came over and asked him if he needed to see the nurse and peter responded with a polite smile which you definitely didn't stare at. 
it's too quiet. 
"here," you slide it over to him, just slightly, looking straight ahead at a poster of a skeleton. mandible, clavicle, sternum. 
you wait. 
"why didn't you just look over?" you ask him, maybe just because you have no sensibility left. 
"it's cheating if i steal it off of your sheet." 
"you're opposed to cheating now?" 
you can practically hear his teeth grinding together, as sure as a drill to a nail. 
you breathe in. fire moves down your stomach and back up. it doesn't take a genius to know that no matter how many deep breaths you take, the feeling isn't going to go away. 
radius, ulna. 
"nevermind," peter slides the paper back to you. he's got bruised knuckles. 
"you don't know how to do any of this," you say to him, pushing it back. 
he pushes, you pull. 
you look back up. sacrum, patella. 
"i got it." 
"peter." 
he is completely silent. 
there are only unspoken words between the two of you. 
"i got it, okay?" his voice is soft, but it's a snap. it's a rubber band, hitting back. 
you both know it. 
and so, your fingertips brush the edge of your paper, because if he doesn't want your help then you don't need to help him, and if he doesn't want to talk to you then it's even easier to cross 'silent treatment' off of the list. 
it only takes him a moment to stop you. "sorry," he whispers. 
and it's enough. because you're feeble. because you know him, even four weeks later. 
you scribble over the list. 
"will you help me with this one?" 
you know that he doesn't need help. you know that you probably do. 
still, you lean a little bit closer--making sure to keep a foot of distance at all times. "okay." 
peter looks at you, a small smile on his face, and you forget to look away. 
you forget all of the ground rules and fall off the edge of the earth. 
you trip and run directly into him. 
and you swallow, tasting the bile before you can push it down. you feel the fire, anger, like you've been trying to throw away. 
"what--" you swallow again, try to take a deep breath without it being too noticeable. "you've got another bruise." 
and a cut. and a yellowing face. and circles under his eyes that can almost compare with yours. 
immediately peter looks away. he hides again. 
you want to feel ashamed, you want to be guilty. but even still--fear isn't something that goes away with him. 
and love, no matter how much you beg it, won't burn itself to the ground. 
"doesn't matter," peter mutters, scribbling on his paper again. "do i need to divide or multiply--" 
"peter." 
he looks towards you, but he's staring at the wall. 
"what happened?" 
"i thought you didn't want any more excuses." 
"that doesn't mean that i don't care, peter," you whisper it, but the words come out of your mouth like an attack. 
peter's eyes meet yours, and you see a flash of something almost unrecognizable. 
"actually," he swallows. his frown sends sparks down your core, leaving burn marks in their wake. "i thought that you didn't want to talk to me at all." 
you struggle for words, you try to reach out and grab them but they're too far. 
this is much more than a worksheet. 
"that's what you said, right? that you didn't want to talk to me until i--" 
"this isn't--that's not--" you're too close to him. 
you're far too close. he's leaned in enough. 
you can feel him. 
and this, god, this is breaking every ground rule. this is unspoken and broken promises and your throat feels dry and your hands are clammy. 
you've never not known how to talk to him. 
peter scoffs, in the silence, into the expanse of the world and directly in your face. he throws back more than you could ever catch. 
and his eyes are completely serious when he says "just leave me alone, y/n."  
the bell rings, and peter gets up. 
he's better at this than you are. 
*
and later that night, you're still angry. 
you're still completely fed up with reality, with being alone, with having to sit there in class and just pretend that it's all fine. 
you accuse peter of lying, but between the two of you, the scales are only balanced. 
maybe that's why you're standing on the roof of your apartment building. 
a bad day, a couple of bad weeks. feelings that wrap themselves so tight around your throat that they keep you from breathing. 
peter, and his smiles, and his eyes--because you know his eyes. 
and you can pretend all you want that you've given him no room to be angry; that he has no right. 
but you'd just be lying. 
a particular brand of hypocrisy. 
so maybe it's self-pity that leads you up the stairs. maybe it's loneliness. 
regret, never. yearning, absolutely not. 
you lie to yourself again and again and imagine that it's all some joke. you'll laugh eventually. 
you don't want peter to come back. 
you don't want to be afraid to look in his eyes, at his face. you don't want to expect him to come home late at night and have blood dripping down his face. you don't want to presume that everything he says--all the stupid promises he makes you--are only lies. 
you don't want precedents. 
and you really don't want to be alone. 
so, the roof. the tiny little things to help you escape from the ever imminent reality. 
peter isn't coming back. you don't want him to. 
and still, talking to him earlier that day, being angry at him, getting him to snap at you. 
it felt like relief. 
it felt like a gasp of air, like drowning yourself for years and then finally deciding to swim up the surface. it felt like scrubbing the infection from your skin, finally, and finding a new layer of yourself underneath. 
it felt like peter. 
and you miss peter. you're not stupid enough to deny that. 
and the book you'd been reading--because the roof is a substitute room--is missing. 
you look under another box. push some spare trash around, hoping that maybe you'd just misplaced it. 
you're doing this when you hear a crash just a couple of feet behind you. 
a quick casual earthquake almost making you trip over the nearest box. 
and when you spin around, still trying to catch your balance, you realize that you aren't alone. 
maybe it's the man that crashed onto your roof--because it is yours--almost tackling you as he came down. he is two feet away from you.
just maybe.
you're frozen in shock for a moment, fingers reaching out to touch him--just to make sure that he's alive--but never getting quite close enough. 
luckily for you, spider-man jumps up before you feel around your pockets for some spare courage. 
"jesus," he says as if he didn't just almost kill you. he looks away, up at the sky, like he's expecting it to laugh back. 
and you stare at him. unsure what to say. 
what to be doing in a situation where a superhero has fallen onto your roof and ended the possibility of any quiet time. 
how to feel when the man turns to look at you, frozen. how to feel when, after a moment, he merely waves a hand at you like he's a celebrity. 
"what are you doing here?" the words fly out of your mouth, stupid and slightly scared. 
"i--" he shakes his head. tilts his head like he's trying to get water out of his ear. 
your brow furrows. your heart stutters off the edge of your ribs. "are you hurt?" 
"fit as a fiddle." 
you blink, trying to comprehend the words at the speed they come out. 
you stare at him, then look up, then back to him. he's whistling, completely casual. 
"you just fell onto my roof," you say, eyes wide. 
spider-man takes a step away from you, shakes out his foot. "was it that obvious?" 
"you..." you stare at him. he's taller than you are. long. breathing too hard. "you're spider-man." 
"pleasure," he pretends to tip a hat at you. you ignore that, for his own dignity. 
you feel your heart climb out from your body, telling you that it's going to take a break. 
"where did you come from?" you look around, expecting a camera and crew to jump out from behind a box. 
"a building," he says, so simply. "was trying something new." 
"it didn't work." 
spider-man looks at you again, head tilted. "ha." 
"aren't you, like--" you swallow. "supposed to be nice? and uh, good at what you do? isn't there a superhero code to... not scare unsuspecting strangers?" 
"i'm nice," he defends. "i'm spider-man," he reaches his hand out as if to introduce himself. 
you stare. blink. try to shove the shock away from your system. 
it doesn't work. 
"i already said that." 
"you can shake my hand anyway. tell your friends." 
you blink. "what?" 
"did i hit you?" he asks, very serious now. maybe concerned. he tries to take a step closer, maybe to look at you, but you move back. 
a bit perturbed by this man being an inch away from your face. 
"i'm okay." 
he tsks. "that's not an answer." 
"i'm pretty sure you didn't hit me," you revise, continuing to step back every time he gets any closer. 
but he is much faster than you. 
"pretty sure?" 
"positive." 
"really?" 
you nod your head, very seriously. you analyze every little twitch of his limbs. 
"because you don't seem okay," he says. he taps his temple. "you might've hit your head." 
"i didn't fall." 
he pauses, movement stopping. "maybe i hit my head." 
"that would explain a lot," you say, the words coming out before you can stop them. 
spider-man is still staring at you. you're pretty sure that you hear him laugh--but you're also certifiably insane, so who really knows?
he waits a moment, like he's searching for something, and then bends down. 
when he straightens, he's got something in his hands. "this yours?" 
you swallow. squint and try to see it clearly. "yeah," you say, "that's-that's my book." 
and in that brief moment, you begin to wonder if you're just imagining all of this. 
spider-man turns it around in his hands, looking at it very closely. "the fault in our stars?" 
you nod. 
"you're reading this?"
you nod again. 
"seriously?" his voice goes up with his words, a bit disbelieving. 
you furrow your brows, cross your arms. "what's wrong with that?" 
"it's just... oh, you know, the worst." 
"you've read it?" 
"no." 
you wait for him to elaborate. he does not. 
"then how would you know that it's bad?" you ask, not believing that you're actually having this conversation. 
that spider-man is judging your book choices. and that he fell onto your roof and still hasn't apologized for almost killing you. 
maybe you did die. 
"do you get out a lot?" spider-man asks you like you're a weird little hermit bothering him on his night out. like he hasn't just made you question every single concrete thing you thought you knew. 
"what does that have to do with anything?" minute by minute, your scowl gets harder. 
spider-man doesn't answer, merely nods his head as if your response gave him everything he needed to know. 
"what?" you demand, trying to grab the book from his hands. 
spider-man laughs. it's a small chuckle amidst the wind. he's got a deep voice. "i think it's a part of my civic duty to keep this away from you." 
"i've never heard about you being an asshole in the news," you mumble, trying again to grab the book from his hands. 
"what was that?" spider-man asks, leaning his ear towards you comically. 
you give up. stare at him for a moment. 
any emotions you feel in this exact moment have no name. 
"for a superhero," you tell him, face void of anything, "you're not very super." 
"what a nice thing to say," he brings his hand to his chest, mock-appreciative. 
you glare. "can i have my book back?" 
"for a civilian," he says, sing-songing just enough to make it noticeable, "you're not very civil." 
you almost, almost groan. you almost, almost laugh. "why are you here?" you demand, again, irritation climbing up your spine. 
why you're his designated target is unclear. 
"don't you have better things to be doing than annoying random girls on rooves?" 
he pretends to consider it. "not really, no." 
"there are no cats to save from trees?" 
and really, you don't mean to joke. you don't mean to let the smile slip. 
"you're funny," spider-man says, leaning back against the ledge of the roof. "why are you here?" 
"i live here." 
"pretty sure that door says 'do not enter.'" 
"you can't see that far," you tell him, trying to look back. you, of course, already know what it says. 
"i actually can." 
you cross your arms again. raise a brow. "how?" 
he taps his head like it's an answer. 
you stare. insist on being as stubborn and unwelcoming as possible. 
"you know, if you don't answer my question i might be forced to alert the authorities," spider-man pretends to look down at his nails--which, as far as you can see--are non-existent. 
"really?" you deadpan. "a masked vigilante, threatening to call the cops on me? for sitting on a roof?" 
spider-man waves a hand. his ankles are crossed. "please. they love me." 
"i can't see how." 
he raises his hands in defense. "wow. after all i've done for you..." 
"like almost murdering me?" 
"like saving you from a friday night alone." 
you frown. 
his words are a gentle reminder. a gentle push over the edge of this roof. 
"can i have my book back?" you ask, serious now. 
"are you going to answer the question?" 
you imagine that he's blinking at you. you imagine pushing him off of the building. 
"it was loud in my apartment. it's nice out here." 
"your family?" he inquires. 
you shake your head. "just... loud in my head, i guess. whatever. i needed a change of scenery." 
"and to read the fault in our stars." 
you glare at him. 
"i'm honestly saving you," he says. "you should be thanking me." 
you try to grab it from him again. "thank you for stealing my book?" 
at that point, he sits on it. your jaw drops but he ignores it. 
instead, he shrugs, so nonchalant. "just looking out for you." 
you sigh. drop your head in your hands and then look back up. "yeah. okay. can i have it now?" 
"how much did you spend on this?" 
"what?" 
spider-man tilts his head. it seems like he's teasing you but you honestly can't tell. 
"i didn't. we had it." 
spider-man clasps his hands together, a professional psychologist. "so you, before the concussion, just happened to spot this on a bookshelf and decided to read it?" 
"i don't have a concussion," you stare at him, squinting. "and yes." 
"are you an avid romance reader?" 
you blink. tilt your head. "i don't understand the question." 
he nods. "so, no. i mean, obviously. no person with any sort of knowledge, or sense would--" 
"hey!"
he shrugs again. "i'm just saying." 
"okay, then, spider-man," you cross your arms again. "what would you suggest?" 
"maybe finding a real boyfriend. or girlfriend." 
you scoff, a little bit shocked. 
somehow, you've relaxed. adrenaline has brought you here and dropped you off, kissing you goodbye. 
spider-man is an idiot. and a jerk. 
"what are you implying?" 
"that you don't have a significant other," he scratches his neck. "i thought that was obvious." 
you glare at him. "and you do?" 
he pauses. raises a finger in the air like he's got something to say. stutters. drops his hand. 
you smile, smugly. "exactly." 
"yeah, okay, but i get out," he copies your stance, staring. 
"when you're crashing into buildings, maybe." 
he rests his chin on his hand. "ever heard of a coffee shop?" he asks you. "great place to meet people. or the subway? an abandoned church? the park?" 
"nope. don't recall," you respond, dryly. 
"this is new york," he gestures around him like he's making a point. like he's got any point at all. "there are tons of people." 
"and yet, you're still alone." 
spider-man scoffs. "i have better things to do. responsibilities." 
"then how come you've been sitting on my roof for half an hour?" 
"i'm helping you, obviously." 
"how do you know that i don't have better things to do, too?" you shrug. "maybe i'm a superhero." 
"no superhero would read john green in their spare time. we have standards." 
"i find that hard to believe," you look him up and down, making note of spandex. 
he balks--or, at least, seems to. "you are not making me want to give it back." 
"please," you flutter your eyelashes, smiling. "i'll even cancel my subscription to the daily bugle." 
he scoffs again, beginning to say something when there's a crash from below the two of you. 
another earthquake. another superhero falling onto a roof. 
spider-man leans over the ledge, looking down at the city below. then back to you, posture changed. maybe a little bit tenser. 
"just for that comment, i'm leaving," he says, but his voice is easygoing, calm. 
you don't think you want to know what's going on under your feet. 
you reach out to grab the book from him--to forget about this entire night, especially the possibility that it might have improved your mood. minimally. 
but in the blink of an eye, he's gone. 
and there's no evidence that he was ever there. not even a book. 
you run towards the edge, worried that he fell, that he just stole your book, or that you really are going crazy. 
and you see him, swinging away with one hand. 
book in the other. 
you turn around, groaning. 
think about performing a citizen's arrest. 
*
when you climb into bed that night, you try to ignore it. 
realities. sitting on a roof in the cold of the night for no reason. feelings that have faded away, if only to leave a mark. 
you try and try to forget about the entire day. 
about peter and his resentment, his lies, his excuses, and how tired he looked. 
spider-man, who despite all else, made you laugh. at least once. 
that lingering feeling tucks you in. 
concern and worry and fear all morphed into something else. something like doubt. something like you can't feel your own heart. like you have no idea whose skin this is. 
a bug crawling on the ceiling, keeping you awake. 
when you fall asleep, it's to that feeling. 
*
part three.

hello!! I'm not sure how many of you remember, but a year ago I wrote a few chapters for a fantasy story which I then later deleted because I wrote them before I really knew heads or tails in the story as a whole and knew I could make it a lot a lot better. so, now it has simmered and grown into something huge.
the story has changed a lot from what it was back when I posted a few rushed parts with only very few details remaining similar.
it has grown into a full-on trilogy where we get to fall in love with first king!steve, knight!bucky and then sweet little blacksmith!peter. I'm still not done writing the last two, but I did just finish the first one!
I really really love this story and this world I've come up with and I hope that you enjoy the magical little ride I'll take you along for ♡
the series masterlist
here is a little release schedule: friday the 15. of march = info about the world + maps every saturday from the 16. of march to the 13. of april = fused with the foe

DIARY / Dream Log #67 / 05 JUN 2025
I think the hardest drug I ever took was all of Taylor Swift's discography. Because there is no way this boy in my dreams is real. He sounds like fragments of her songs and I swear being a swiftie is finally turning my brain cells delulu.
He's my midnight folklore lover (pun completely intended)
See he's not the breakup songs, no he's the love songs. He's fearless, state of grace, hey stephen, and many others all wrapped in a box of mystery with a bow on too that I can't untie or cut loose.
Of course, I made him up, why else can't I see his face? He's not real, right? He can't be. Something that good in my life doesn't exist. What do I deserve from this kind of love? All I do is hurt the ones I love, so of course he's not real. I'm just delusional. Delusional and lonely as hell.
But at the same time…then why does everything feel like a memory?
[END NOTE]
Tumblr media
You decided that you would spend your day at the Avengers Tower penthouse. You don't think you could handle Sam, Bucky, and Dr. Cho teasing you for beaming like an idiot and trying to squeeze it out of you. And you couldn't explain to them how you didn't stay put like you were supposed to. You wondered what they would say if they knew that you kissed him…twice. God forbid Morgan knew too? You would never hear the end of it for at least three months. It was your day off so you didn’t have to worry about random calls since Nika agreed to leave you alone for a while as a way to make up for almost ruining your kiss with Peter. 
You could still feel his lips on yours like the ghost of him was left with you when your lips met. 
You felt different after the kiss. Good different. You felt lighter like a weight was lifted off of your shoulders and you weren’t sure if it was from the kiss itself or something else. You just knew you were really happy. 
You were looking at the timeline FRIDAY had made (and graciously made into the form of a spider web just to fuck with you) and sighed. You wish you could remember everything you were with Peter. It looked like it was lovely…what you guys had before. You wish you could make yourself remember but you couldn’t. 
But things started to feel more familiar than before and you couldn't really explain it. After the first kiss, it was like your body remembered him. Kissing him felt familiar but foreign in a good way. 
You knew Peter was the faceless boy in your dreams, with no doubt. Especially because he never denied it. You both would beat around the bush about confirming it with the fear of it hurting you even though you were the one to push for answers more than he was. Hell, you're the one who had to find him.
You eyed the timeline and took a deep breath. "FRIDAY, archive the timeline."
After that, you went to the music room where you kept all of your guitars. You were in the mood to play and sing your little happy heart out. You didn't have a lot of guitars but you did have a collection of them that you loved and cherished. You had the first one you ever got which was a regular wooden brown acoustic one that you practiced on all the time. It was filled with stickers on the back of it to give it personality. You still remember how painful your fingers would feel after four hours of practice every day. There was a black one that your dad got you after you mastered playing the first song that you were learning. It was your favorite one for a while until you got your red one. You remember being afraid of using it because you were worried that it would break in your hands. It was precious to you and you didn’t want to mess it up.
It was one of the ones Taylor Swift used on her Red tour. 
It was a gift from your beloved Spidey for your birthday. He used his Spidey status and sent Taylor a letter asking if she could wish you a happy birthday. He didn’t expect a response from her, but a week later she did. After a conversation between your favorite hero and your favorite singer, you were met with a beautifully written birthday letter with tickets to her concert and a Polaroid picture of her and her three cats, a video of her singing Happy Birthday, and two signed red guitars, one electric and the other acoustic. The red electric guitar was hung on the wall in your bedroom with the Polaroid framed next to it. The acoustic one took you a week to even use. You remember crying with happiness on and off for three hours when you got it. 
Apparently, without knowing, he had saved her once and she wanted to thank him in some way and he chose that to cash in.  
You smiled as you picked it up and looked at it for a long, loving moment before turning to grab your notebook. You walked down the stairs and into the living room, plopped down on the couch, and set the guitar next to you as you opened your notebook. You flipped through the pages and looked at the notes, lyrics, doodles, scratched-out, aggressively circled, and underlined words, and tear stains that filled the pages. 
The entire notebook was dedicated to him. The Faceless Boy. Peter Parker. 
You don’t know why you bound so much of your emotions about him along the white pages and you couldn’t tell if it was a way to clear your mind or if it was a way to heal. Maybe both. 
You decided that you were going to stop forcing yourself to remember him and just enjoy the time you’re spending with him and appreciate the new memories you’ll be making with him. One’s that hopefully won’t be erased from your mind this time. Will he ever tell you what even happened? Maybe not and you still hadn’t decided if you were okay with that, but in due time, hopefully, he will be honest with you. 
You landed on a page that you remember fresh in your mind because you had only written one thing on the page, and it was three weeks ago when you wrote it. 
A single thread ties me to you and yet not a single memory clicks. Are there clues I didn’t see?
It wasn’t the first time you wrote a poetic line in this notebook about the faceless boy, and it wasn’t the first time a poetic line became a fully fleshed-out song. And this moment of inspiration that you had didn’t make anything different. Maybe it was because you were still giddy from the night before. 
So you grabbed a pen, picked up your guitar, and began writing and strumming your little heart out. 
Tumblr media
My sweet boy…
Those three words rang through Peter’s mind for the rest of the night until he fell asleep. And then he dreamt of all the times you called him that before. 
He knew you didn’t remember him, that was clear. But something happened when you guys kissed. He knew you felt it because he felt it, and he felt you feel it. On top of that, you didn’t feel any pain from it. And then when you called him my sweet boy…
He nearly lost his mind. 
So when Peter woke up, he felt determined. He made a decision that he should have made weeks ago. Really it should have been five years ago.
He was going to tell you everything. And nothing could and would stop him. 
So he got up and got into the shower. He spent an ungodly amount of time in there trying to figure out what he was going to say and how to react to any of the possible reactions you would have. After that, he got out and forced himself to eat something before grabbing his backpack and pulling out from under his bed the suitcase full of the things he took from your room instead of telling you everything right then and there. He had his reasons, but he was beginning to second-guess them. He opened the suitcase to check and make sure everything was in there. When that was done, he set the stuff he was taking with him on the bed. 
He put on his spider suit, the one you made for him all those years ago, and put his backpack over his shoulders. He made sure the suitcase was locked and secured so nothing would fall out. He thinks he would actually die if that happened. He picked it up and went to hurry out before he backtracked.
He glanced over at the silver spider necklace sitting on his end table.
He chewed his lip. He wants to give it to you so badly, but…he wanted it to be another special moment when he did give it back to you. 
So he left it there and hurried out of the apartment window. 
Once, he made it onto the roof of the building, he called you. But it went to voicemail. No doubt, you were taking a break from work today. So just to be sure he called your office number.
"Stark Industries," Nika chimed in a customer service voice.
"Hey, Nika. It's Peter,"
"Ah, Avenger Lover Boy,” Her voice went back to normal. “What can I do you for?"
He blushed under his mask at the nickname. "Is (Y/N) there today?"
"Yep, she's up in the penthouse-"
"Cool! I'll be there in like…fifteen minutes."
“Oh?” she asked with obvious cheekiness in her tone. “Making a grand gesture? You better be bringing flowers.”
“She doesn’t do bouquets,” Peter stated. “She prefers going to see the flowers in their natural state. Better for the environment in her eyes.”
Nika hummed in amusement. “You pay attention. Good. See you in a few.”
And with that, she hung up.
He swung from Queens to Manhattan as fast and as carefully as he could and even helped a few people along the way. When he arrived he walked straight into the Avenger’s building. He would’ve swung up to a window and climbed in, but he had no idea how security was and he didn’t wanna risk dropping anything from the highest building in New York City. Again, he thinks he would actually die if that happened. So he let his anxiety win and played it safe by going through the building like a normal person. 
 He hurried straight for the elevator and impatiently pressed the button as if that would make it come down faster. He tapped his foot on the ground in suspense and waved at different people who walked passed and greeted him. When the doors finally opened, he waited for the people to walk off before hurrying his way inside and aggressively clicking buttons again. 
Before the door could close, a hand stopped it from doing so.
Peter looked to see Nika step inside and give him a straight-faced nod as she pressed the button for the door to close. She glanced at him without saying anything and then scanned her eye. There was a long silence as the elevator went up and it honestly made Peter uncomfortable.
“You know,” Nika started. “You’re bold for wearing that suit today after that kiss from yesterday.”
Peter looked at her, his mask showing that his eyes widened.
“I’ll make sure the top floor is on lockdown from anyone else.”
“Nika…” Peter replied as his face burned under his mask when he realized what she was implying.
“Relax, I’m messing with you,” she smirked at him. “You’re so tense right now. Lighten up, dude.”
He took a deep breath and shook it out a little. He was extremely tense. He was about to tell you everything that you should’ve been told years ago. 
Once the elevator stopped, she spoke again.
"Good Luck, Peter Parker,” she smiled and walked off and gave him a salute. 
"Th-thank you," Peter replied and the elevator closed again and went up.
He took another nervous breath. “Alright, Peter, you got this. No backing down.”
When the doors opened he hurried in to find you, but he stopped when he heard the sound of a guitar coming from the conference room. He stopped in his tracks when he realized that it was you playing your guitar. He slowly walked over to the staircase walked up quietly and kept his distance.
He stopped when he saw you, dressed in a pair of black joggers, a black fitted sleeveless crop top, and a long black cardigan that was falling off one shoulder. You had your stark specs on and you wiggled your bare toes and you strummed the red guitar that he recognized all too well. You were facing the window and he could see your reflection through it but he was just out of view to where you couldn’t see his. He smiled under his mask. He missed watching you play. 
But the minute you started singing, his heart nearly stopped. 
Green was the color of the grass
Where I used to read at Centennial Park
I used to think I would meet somebody there
Peter remembered when you told him that there were days when you would go to this park and read a book. Sometimes you still went when you needed to clear your mind. Although you were proud to be a Stark, it was a bit of a heavy thing to have on your shoulders at such a young age. So to get away from everything, you would take a book, go to Centennial Park, and escape into worlds that were different from yours. He remembered how you told him that you always hoped to meet eyes with somebody there and fall in love with them.
That’s not exactly how it happened with the two of you, but you always said it was better than your little fantasy. 
Blue was the color of your shirt
When you were sixteen at the deli shop
You used to go when you had a little money
He recalled the first time you went to his place with Celina. You all had a project you were working on and he took you to Delmar’s deli shop to get some food. 
Time, curious time
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Peter realized the song was about your memories of him in your dreams. 
Bad was the blood of the vibes in the flight
On your trip to Germany
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner
Bold was the waitress on our three-day trip
Getting lunch in Saxony 
She said I looked like an American sweetheart
 
He remembered that day. The first time you guys met as Spiderheroes.
Time, mystical time
Cuttin' me open, then healin' me fine
Are there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
He leaned against the wall and listened to you continue to sing.
A string that pulled me
Out of all the wrong arms right into the right heart
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons
One web of silk and gold tied me to you
Peter smiled as he listened to your melodic and poetic words.
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
For the ones who broke my heart
Now I live life in the present.
Gold is the color of the leaves
When I'll show you around Centennial Park
Hell, what a journey but it brought me heaven
He looked forward to when you took him to your safe place. Again.
Time, wondrous time
Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies
And it's cool, darling, with me
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
You finished the song, let out a breath of relief, and drummed your nails on the guitar gently before setting it down next to you and picking up your notebook. Then you paused and Peter knew why. You sensed him and your eyes widened as you whipped your head around to look for him.
Now’s your chance, he thought, taking off his mask and walking into view.
"Peter…!" You chimed as you set down your notebook and got off the table. “I didn’t know you were coming.”
Peter pressed his lips together. Here goes nothing. Actually, it’s everything. "(Y/N)...I have something to tell you."
"Okay…" you responded gingerly as you crossed your arms over yourself with your brows pulled together with a concerned look on your face. You must have sensed his nervousness.
Peter walked over to the table throwing his backpack down and setting the suitcase on the table. He quickly fiddled with the latches, forced them open, and then turned it towards you.  You looked at it to see a scrapbook, picture frames, polaroids, and other items that you recognized from…your dreams. Your eyes widened.
"Peter…?" You looked up at him wondrously.
"I know Ghost Stories is your favorite Coldplay album and Lover is your favorite Taylor Swift album.”
You looked at him confused. 
“I know you can't get a night of proper sleep unless you drink a cup of tea mixed with milk and honey and you need something to hold while sleeping, specifically, Starky, your wolf plush that you named after your family and the Starks from Game of Thrones. I know your favorite character from Game of Thrones is Lyanna Stark because of the quote 'You saw her beauty but not the iron underneath' from the books and that's the meaning of the blue roses on your tattoo. You also asked Steve to help you with the drawing years ago.”
Your expression turned to shock as you kept looking at him frozen.
“I know that you hate messy spaces and people handing you things because your dad was the same way. I know that you have to pet every cat you come across and that you like dark content and media because it reminds you of who and what you're fighting for and you fear being so out of touch with reality because you're extremely privileged.”
You blink rapidly as you process what is happening at the moment.
“I know that you love playing the guitar and you write songs. It's like your diary where you can properly express yourself because you wish your life was a musical because you're secretly a theater nerd. And you love Hamilton and Six. And Disney movies. And you love listening to the SMASH soundtrack. It’s one of the things you were shy about telling anyone about.”
You press your lips together as your expression softened and your eyes glossed over. 
“I know that you love movies and that you have a huge crush on Anakin Skywalker, which I always found concerning by the way. Like…everyone finds that concerning. Ned and I had a conversation about it yesterday. You also hate the recent Star Wars trilogy but you continue to hate-watch it with me because it's something that we did together and as long as we were together, you didn't care what we watched.”
You sniffled softly, listening to him go on.
“I know that you love cold weather because you love the feeling of it on your skin because it reminds you that you're alive and human. You love Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare because you love Shakespeare's humor and Poe's dark romanticism. And although you deeply despise magic you love a good fantasy novel. And your book boyfriends are Draco Malfoy and Aaron Warner. And I'm not getting any further into that because I should not be this jealous of fictional characters.”
You let out a choked laugh. 
“You have sensory sensitivity so you hate loud noises, bright lights, and feeling things on your hands. And it only worsened when you gained these spider powers that we share.”
You nodded softly and put a hand over your mouth to keep in your sob that was threatening to escape.
“(Y/N),” He walked up to you and gently cradled your face as his own eyes glossed over. “ We….we were in love....deeply and truly and I...fucked it all up and I still don't know if I regret it or not because you have grown into this amazing and beautiful person that I am still in love with....deeply and truly. And five years is a long time I know but...I wanted you to live your life without having to worry about me and be able to focus on yourself.”
He chewed on his bottom lip for a second like he was deciding on his next words carefully. 
“When your dad died ...I could tell that you would have been in a really dark place if I wasn't there to help distract you from it. And you know what? It was the same for me too. But we never really worked through it on our own. We became each other's distractions. And I wanted to come to you five years ago, but I made the impulsive decision to let you go so you could heal, grow, and explore life I know that's not a decision I should make for you and I'm so sorry, (Y/N/N), I'm so, so, so, so sorry-"
You couldn’t take it anymore and you grabbed his face and kissed him deeply and passionately before he could continue babbling. Peter froze a moment but then matched the energy of your kiss as his arms wrapped around your waist pulling you closer to him.
 The kiss was much more desperate but just as passionate as the day before. And there was no one here to interrupt you. It was just the two of you and your passion running wild for each other. 
Peter wouldn’t have it any other way. 
You pulled back for a moment and he chased the kiss instinctively not wanting to part just yet. He looked at you with hooded eyes and you both catching your breath because you both forgot that breathing during a kiss is essential.
 You smiled softly and leaned your forehead on his as said barely in a whisper. "You finally admit you’re the faceless boy,” you sniffled as you met his gaze. “Idiot. You could’ve told me sooner that you’re the guy in my dreams..."
“I’m sorry…” Peter blushed and gulped softly before asking, "Can I also be the guy in your reality?"
You giggled. “There you go flirting again.”
“And I’m still being serious,” he smirked softly.
You caught your bottom lip between your teeth as your smile grew. “About damn time you asked me.”
Peter smiled that charming smile you loved so much as he tasted your lips again and your senses continued to bloom within the both of you. 
Tumblr media
You had so many questions and Peter was expecting that. He was honest and didn't hide anything from you when you asked.
He started by explaining everything that happened and why nobody could remember him. 
You repeated it back to him to clarify that you heard everything correctly.
"I'm not sure what pisses me off more, honestly."
"I think all of it pisses you off."
"You're right, it does. And you tried to get everyone to forget that you were Spiderman but you accidentally messed up Strange's spell and it caused a tear in the multiverse? And there were other Peter Parkers? And their villains were here? Wait, did you say Norman Osborn killed your Aunt May?!"
"Not our Norman Osborn," Peter explained. "Ours hasn't done anything yet. I've been keeping an eye on him."
You rubbed your temple and took a deep breath. "That's a lot to process. I think I hate magic again."
After that, he showed you all of the things in the suitcase. He started with the scrapbook that you both made together. It had a red cover and black pages that were filled with drawings, cute words, and pictures of the two of you.  The front of it read "Our Story."
There was a tic tac toe game page that read "You Won My Heart" where you both were bored one day and played a game of tic tac toe. You put hearts over each winning line and taped it nicely into the scrapbook. There was another page that read "Our Soundtrack" with different songs written under it. The page was filled with music-themed doodles. Some pages marked your firsts and different highlighting events and you took it all in as you flipped through the pages.
Peter was leaning his head on your shoulder as he also looked at each page. He has looked over this scrapbook on his loneliest days and he memorized it front to back. 
He half expected you to say something witty like "We're so cringe for this" or "This is so corny but I kinda love it" but you didn't. You were studying it with soft eyes as you ran your fingers over different parts of the pages and smiled softly. Sometimes you would ask a question about a certain page and Peter would answer.
You came across a page that read "Things I love about Peter" with a list. 
"Hmm let's see if this still stands," you teased. "One, pretty smile: true. Two, genius: also true. Three, Kind-hearted: very true. Four, Short King: also very true and adorable. Five, nerdy and geeky: love that. Six, hair: agreed." You skimmed down the rest of the list. "Wow, you're literally my type."
Peter smiled smugly. "I know."
You giggled in response. "Confidence is sexy on you." 
"I thought I was conceited?"
"It's different, you're my boyfriend now." 
His heart fluttered at that.
"I mean, I'm no Aaron Warner or anything." He teased.
You rolled your eyes playfully. 
"Let me explain something to you," you tapped his forehead. "What I like in fantasy and what I like IRL are two different things. In fantasy, I like the dark, brooding bad boys because they're written by women. They're meant to cater to my deep and dark desires personified into my fictionalized self.  In real life, I like guys like you. The sweet-hearted cuties from the start." You smiled at him as he looked at you. "So don't worry yourself over men who don't exist. Especially Anakin Skywalker. The actor was just cute and I have a thing for masks."
"Trust me, I know." 
You giggled softly and turned the page where it was a list called "Things I Love About (Y/N)". You paused and looked at it.
"Let's see if this still stands," Peter stated with a playful tone. "One, prettiest girl in the world: yep. Two, outspoken and not afraid to stand up to bullies: very true. Three, genius: also true. Four: hard exterior, soft interior: eh, you softened up. More approachable now. " 
You snorted in response.
"Five, geek, weeb: still true. Six, talented: extremely true. Shall I keep going?"
You giggled. "You're making my teeth hurt."
"You have phenomenal dental health, you'll live."
You threw your head back and laughed before looking at him. He was looking at you lovingly. You pressed your lips together and looked at the scrapbook shyly. 
"Thank you," you started. "For telling me everything." 
You felt his presence closer to you and looked back at him to see his face inches away from yours. You met his gaze before he leaned in to kiss you deeply and you responded by kissing back and closing your eyes. His hand softly landed on your cheek and he could feel the warmth of your face and the feeling of love and something else through his senses. you set the scrapbook off to the side and moved yourself to sit facing him as you both deepened the kiss.
He pulls back after a moment.
"Sorry," he said lowly. "I…I just had to make sure that this is real…that  you're real."
“I should be the one saying that,” you grinned. “I’ve been the one with dreams.”
“Touche.”
You giggled in response and kissed him again. 
Tumblr media
You both spent most of the day in and watching movies as you cuddled on the couch. You lent him a pair of joggers and a Joy Division band tee shirt to wear instead of him walking around in his spider suit. You guys ordered pizza and tacos and then went back to watching whatever you guys felt like watching. Peter was lying back on the couch while you were lying on top of him with your head on his chest and your legs entangled together. His hand would stroke your back lightly every once in a while and it lulled you to sleep a couple of times. That, and the sound of his heartbeat in your ears.
"(Y/N)," Peter called to you softly.
Your eyes fluttered open and noticed that the movie you guys were watching had ended. You looked up sleepily at Peter who was smiling down at you. 
"Hm?" You hummed in question.
Cute, he thought. "I have to go patrol."
"Huh?" You asked and looked at the time. Five Thirty. "Jeez. I didn't realize…"
"It's okay," he kissed your forehead longingly for a moment and you closed your eyes at the feeling. "I can come back after."
You pout and then shove your face back into his firm chest. You didn't want him to leave. 
"No."
Peter chuckled and wrapped his arms around you. "Okay, princess, no more pouting."
He knew pet names like that are your weakness. He could feel the heat of your face on his chest and he smirked.
"Princess," he sang.
"Stop," you whined into his chest shyly while the heat on your face widened which caused Peter to laugh softly.
"You know," Peter started. "You could come with me. People miss you, y'know. Silk and Spidey, Spidey and Silk. I get asked about you a lot."
You sighed and slowly sat up to where you were sitting in his lap. He wrapped his arms around you instinctively as you leaned your head on his shoulder "I…don't do that anymore."
You knew that people wondered what happened to some of the Avengers, and you were one of them that people often wondered about, especially since Spiderman was still out there protecting the little guy. 
But one day you just stopped and people wondered what happened to the beloved spiderhero. 
"I meant to ask,” Peter started as he looked at you. “Why did you stop?"
You looked at Peter and chewed your lip nervously. Many reasons made you hang up the suit but there were some that really caused you to stop. And you really didn’t want to talk about it.
"Well, for one, I wanted to help Pepper raise Morgan. Two, I have to focus on the company. And Three," you closed your eyes as you thought of the chapter in your life that you never wanted to speak of ever again. "I…made some big mistakes. I…hurt people in…so many different ways and I just don't see myself as a hero anymore because of it. When I was needed most, I let everyone around me down.” You took another deep sigh. ”Not much of a hero thing to do."
Flashes of the past enter into your mind and Peter could feel the guilt, pain, and fear of your senses stirring within him. It was strong and he didn't like it. Something told him there was more to the story but he didn't want to pry. Instead, he kissed your forehead comfortingly.
"Sometimes even the greatest of heroes make the biggest of mistakes."
"I doubt that," you replied. “I kind of like…really fucked up.”
“The fact that you feel guilty about it shows that you aren’t a bad person,” he began. "Do you remember when you first got your powers and what the first thing you did was?"
You remember that day clearly like it happened yesterday.
"I saved a van full of women and girls from getting kidnapped." 
"Yeah,” Peter smiled. “ Still in your ballet outfit. Bright pink with your makeshift mouth mask that you quickly made out of your extra pair of leggings.”
You looked up at him. 
“It went viral on YouTube and TikTok,” he continued.  “You didn't hesitate a second." 
You looked at your hands and played with your fingers.
Peter kept going. "You said in your expo speech. With great power comes great responsibility. 
"My dad told me that when I was little," you replied with a small smile. “‘Where there is great power there is great responsibility, where there is less power there is less responsibility, and where there is no power there can, I think, be no responsibility’ said by Winston Churchill. And ‘the more privilege you have, the more opportunity you have. The more opportunity you have, the more responsibility you have said by Noam Chomsky,” You raised your hands and looked at your fingertips, where your webs come from. “He told me to focus on the line that resonated with me the most and it was ‘with great power comes great responsibility’ and I’ve tried to live my life by that ever since.” 
Ah, Pete thought as he ran a hand through his curls. “Aunt May told me that exact same thing moments before she died."
You looked at him vaguely remembering him telling you that once before. A vague memory flashed in your mind of you holding a crying Spiderman in your arms alongside Ned, MJ, and Celina in the pouring rain. The memory brought a frown to your face. 
"When you have this power and then the bad things happen, then it's on us. You knew that immediately. Whether it stemmed from a hero complex or whatever, doesn’t matter. You understood that you had a responsibility. I had to learn it the hard way. And it cost my Uncle Ben’s life."
You looked up at him sadly and a bit of shock in your expression. You felt the guilt and sadness flowing through him. 
He continued.
"You're a hero, (Y/N), even when you think you aren't good enough to be one,” he leaned his forehead on yours.  “And you'll always be a hero to me."
Your heart swelled at his words and you pressed your lips together. “You always know the right things to say.”
“And I mean every word.”
You smiled and pecked his lips softly and he pecked yours back before you removed yourself from his lap so he could get up. 
“Thank you,” you smiled. “I’ll be waiting here for you when you get back.”
He nodded in response. “Okay.”
He got up, got changed, and walked out onto the launched pad for when your dad would put on the Iron suit. You walked out with him as you wrapped your cardigan around your shoulders. 
He turned and looked back at you with his mask in his hands. His eyes glistened in the sunset as the wind danced through his curls softly. He smiled softly at you. 
“See you later?”
“Mhm,” you responded with a smirk.  “Actually show up on time this time, yeah? Because if I have to go looking for you again after another five years I’ll-”
“Kick my ass into another dimension?”
You squint your eyes at him suspiciously. “Yeah…”
“You told me that before,” He said with a chuckle. “Five years ago, Statue of Liberty, moments before…the memory blip, as you call it. But I kissed the words out of your mouth.”
You scoffed and crossed your arms over yourself. “Maybe I should act on it.”
“Maybe you should,” Peter teased and put his mask on. “You gotta catch me first.”
“You’re just trying to get me to patrol with you.”
“Maybe,” he sang. “Maybe not. You’ll have to get it out of me.”
“Goodbye, Peter Parker,” you laughed. “Go, before a bank gets robbed or something.”
“Wow, trying to get rid of me? A bit ago you were begging me not to go. I didn’t take you for the wishy-washy type but hey a lot can happen in five years.”
Your jaw dropped in total shock. “You know what-” You began to speed walk towards him with a playful smirk. “Come here, Smartass!”
He laughed as you chased him around the platform before he ran towards the edge and you stopped in front of him slightly out of breath. He lifted his mask to reveal the bottom half of his face and he kissed your cheek and your face burned once again like it had been doing all day.
“I’ll come back on time, I promise.”
“You better,” you smiled at him. “Now go be a hero.”
He smiled back at you. “And you continue being mine.”
Your face softened as your heart beamed and he turned and jumped off the platform and swung across the city.
