Old Friends, New Beginnings || Peter Parker

Part 25 - Birthday Surprises (Part 1)

Your POV: 

"Y/N, wake up!" Someone squeals in my ear, "It's your birthday!" 

My eyes flutter open and wake up to an excited Elise standing over my bed. 

"W-what?" I rub my eyes and yawn. 

"Oh my god, you're terrible in the morning. It's your 16th birthday!" She pulls the covers off my cold body. 

I groan and grab them out of her hand and throw them back over my head, "School?" 

"Oh god no, it's Saturday! Did you forget?" 

I take the covers off my head and look at her still partially unaware of what's happening, "Forget what?" 

"It's your birthday!" She yells at me, "And Peter's too." 

Just his name made me alert, "Peter, oh my gosh I forgot about our birthday!" 

I jump out of bed and run to the closet. I take out my birthday outfit that I've had planned for almost a year now. A light brown knit cardigan over a white shirt paired with black leggings. 

I rush to put it on and then rush over to my dresser and throw some makeup on my face. 

"OK, I'm ready to see Peter." I turn around to Elise. She has a sympathetic look on her face. 

"Oh, Y/N." She begins

"What?" Reality hits me like a truck, "Oh yeah, he's in Sweeden until tomorrow." 

"I'm sorry. I didn't know that you would forget." Elise sighs. 

"It's fine," I walk to my desk and open up my laptop. My email inbox pops up with a drafted email to Peter, "I have to send him his gift." 

Elise walks up behind me to watch as I attach the video file and type, "Happy birthday Peter. Hope you enjoy your gift. I can't wait to see you tomorrow :)" 

I look at  Elise behind me. She nods for me to continue as I hit the send button. 

"Peter will love it," She hugs me from behind, "Now come on, let's go get some breakfast." 

Peter's POV: 

"Spider-boy, don't sleep your whole birthday away!" Mr. Stark calls to me from another room. 

I lay in bed awake staring at my email waiting for Y/N's birthday message to come. I've been awake since 12 AM waiting. I didn't know when she was going to send it, and I wanted to look at it the minute she sent it. 

Mr. Stark opens the door to my hotel room and steps in, "How'd you get in?" I ask. 

"I have a key," He holds up a plastic card to prove his point. 

"I just wanted to say happy birthday. You've done some great things," He says the last part softly, "Now start packing we're flying home today." He turns and walks away.

"Wait, today? I thought we were flying home tomorrow?" I get up from my bed and look at him. 

Mr. Stark turns around, "Happy didn't tell you? We're done here, so we're flying back today. We'll get you home by early evening." 

My face lights up, "So you mean I can be with Y/N on our birthday?" 

"The end of it, yes." He replies, "Now pack up!" 

I grab my phone and scroll through my contacts until I find Elise's name. I dial her number and listen as it rings. 

"Hello? Peter, why are you calling me?" Elise answers.
