Peter Parker Imagines

Med School Stress

could u do a college! peter x reader where they are both stressed and fight and stop talking for a few days and eventually one just apologize? Live for angst.

You had always wanted to be an OR surgeon and said you'd do whatever it took, but your second year of med school was taking a toll on you. You were up until five in the morning most nights and studying whenever you could, and it had started taking a toll on your relationship with your high school boyfriend Peter Parker. 

"I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to dinner tonight babe. I have a study session with Matt for our project," you said over the phone to Peter. You felt terrible, this was the second time you cancelled, but your final project was coming up and you were struggling a lot in the subject. 

"Matt again? I thought it was with Meredith?" Peter exclaimed. 

"It was supposed to be Meredith, but she cancelled like ten minutes ago and told me Matt could study instead. I'm so sorry, I feel terrible." Peter sighed, you could tell he was disappointed. 

"It's okay, I'll see you at home. Love you," Peter said. 

"Love you too." 

Matt was one of your high school friends that were also in the same field as you, so you would study together about once a week. Peter knew that Matt liked you but didn't want to be a jerk and tell you not to hang out with him. 

So he let you and Matt hang out once a week. 

After getting back from your study session you swung your apartment door to see Peter asleep on the couch. You knew he had been waiting for you to get back from school after patrolling and you felt horrible. He patrolled until midnight and still waited for you to come home. 

"Hey Pete," you said brushing some hair from his eyes causing him to slowly wake up. 

"Hey," Peter said, scootching back and yawning. Peter usually loved affection, you knew something was up when he moved away from you.  "You're back later than usual."

"Yeah, but we finished the project. IT's the last one of the month so I have the rest of the week to spend with you," you said as Peter sighed. 

"Yeah, but now I have work for the rest of the week and I'm going on an out-of-country mission soon, that's why I wanted to see you so badly tonight because we wouldn't for at least two weeks." 

"Oh right, I forgot I'm so sorry," you whispered. 

"Y/N, what's going on. We've had this dinner planned for weeks, you know how busy we normally are, and you still had the rest of the week to finish the project. I hate to question you but you're acting weird."

"I'm trying to focus on my career Peter, we took time out of our relationship for your career, why can't we do so for mine? I'm going to school two years later because we needed money for the apartment so I stayed behind. Now it's time for you to provide!" You started raising your voice, you had told Peter from the start that you wanted to work and when you got a full scholarship to go to med school it seemed like the perfect opportunity to start. 

"I know but you had the opportunity to be together and you didn't take it and choose school and Matt over me!" 

You were speechless Peter thought that you were cheating on him with Matt. Three years of dating and trust broke in a matter of seconds.

"I can't believe you just said that," you said grabbing your purse and jacket. 

"Y/N wait!" Peter said, following you. "I didn't mean it!" 

"It doesn't matter you still thought it. You don't trust me. I'll be back in the morning to grab my things because we're done Peter," you said before walking out of your apartment. 

Peter had messed up, he had doubted you and it may have caused him to lose you. Peter didn't get a wink of sleep that night and instead decided to swing around the city for a bit to clear his mind. 

Peter was swinging around town for about twenty minutes when he saw you walking through central park, he decided to keep an eye on you since shady people were always larking around at this hour. 

Sure enough, a few minutes later Peter noticed an old guy was following you around.

"Hey back off!" You shouted, shoving him back as he stepped in front of you. You have had a few guys approach you already, this was just the cherry on top. 

Peter immediately jumped down from his hiding spot to get a closer look to see if you needed help, soon enough a few other guys came around the corner with knives in hand. 

"You better watch yourself!" The main gang member said as your eyes widened in fear. Peter quickly swung down from his spot and landed in front of you. 

"I suggest you leave the pretty lady alone now gentlemen," Peter said, as the men chuckled and cracked their necks. Peter smiled, "well I did warn you." 

You watched as Peter effortlessly de-arm the men, punched them a few times and webbed them to the wall.  Peter quickly spun around and reached for you as you clung to him before he webbed away and headed back to your shared apartment. 

As soon as you both crawled through your window Peter took off his mask and hugged you, you had been in danger, Peter could have lost you. 

"Thank you for saving me back there, I could have died," you said tearing up as Peter nodded. 

"Of course. Good thing I was watching you huh?" Peter joked. 

"You were following me?" You asked as Peter nodded.

"I didn't mean to I was just patrolling and saw you walking in the park, what were you doing by the way? You know central is dangerous at night," Peter asked. 

"I don't know, Mj's place is too stuffy for me and I wanted to get some air," you said, "I couldn't sleep." 

"Me too," Peter whispered. "I want you to know that I'm sorry for doubting. I was don't know what I was thinking..." 

"It's okay Peter. I don't blame you for thinking I was putting school first. I'm just so into a school that I tend to prioritize it because I enjoy learning about something," you said. 

"I love you and didn't mean to seem like I don't want you to focus on school." 

"I know, I was being selfish. I'm sorry," you said, "so will are we okay?" You asked, as Peter smiled and nodded.  

"By the way, I'll stop hanging out with Matt. He was starting to get really friendly."
