Side Kick? No, Partner (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 9

"Uh... H-homecoming is a d-dance held at school... P-people usually go as uhm... D-dates..." he stuttered adorably. You smirked.

"Oh? Are you going to ask Liz to go?" You teased though your heart ached knowing he probably would. Peter nervously rubbed the back of his neck and he blushed quite a bit.

"I uh... I actually um..." before he could continue the bell rung. You frowned.

"Im going to spam you later to figure out what you were going to say, Peter." You teased as you left the cafeteria. Peter and Ned exchanged words but you couldn't hear what they said.

~~~

When you got home. You decided to text Peter but he seemed to have beat you to it. "Wanna watch a movie tonight?" he texted you. You smiled and quickly replied.

"Yeah sure. What movie?"

"It's a new horror movie. Thought you might like it."

"Alright. What time are we going?"

"8:00. I already bought the tickets."

"Okay cool. I'll meet you at your house."

"Okay. See you later!"

You checked the time and it was already 7:25. You got up from your bed and decided to shower and change into at least a semi nice and put on a very light amount of makeup. You weren't sure why you wanted to look nice for Peter. He liked Liz after all, right? You shook off the achy feeling and decided to have some dinner before having to meet up with Peter. You set a portal to the ally you always use to get to school and you made way to Peters house just in time. You knocked on the door and Peter answered and smiled when he saw you. "Hey! Ready to go?" he asked. You smiled back and nodded. He began to lead the way while closing the door behind him and you followed close by.

"Oh Peter. What were you trying to say earlier today?" You asked him. He blushed a little again and fidgeted with his hands.

"I uh... Don have a crush on Liz anymore..." he finally muttered out. Your heart skipped a beat and your eyes widened.

"You don't? I thought you were head over heels for her." You replied pretending to be surprised and slightly disappointed.

"Yeah. I realized that there's no point in trying to get to her if she's with the popular people who clearly don't like me." he replied.

"Did you find a new interest as well?" he fell silent after that but then again, the two of you made it to the theatre. The two of you sat together and watched the movie while eating popcorn. Your hand rested on the arm rest and Peter was debating on if he should hold your hand or not but made the choice of not doing so since he wasn't sure if you liked him or not. But the only way to find that out is if he asks you out or asks you to homecoming. The movie ended and the two of you definitely had a good time. You stopped in front of Peters home and smiled. "Thanks for bringing me Peter. I had such a good time." You said to him. He smiled back and chuckled.

"Anytime. I had fun with you too." he replied. You couldn't resist it anymore. You pulled Peter into a hug and he seemed confused at first but hugged back and couldn't help but smile. You pulled away and couldn't help but look into his chocolate brown eyes.

"Anyway. I gotta get going. I'll see you around Peter." You said before turning and heading home.

"Wait!" he exclaimed. You stopped and turned back to him. "It's pretty late... I'm not sure walking home would be a good idea..." he said sheepishly. When will Peter not be so damn adorable? You let out a chuckle.

"Alright. I guess I could spend the night." You gave in. Plus of I meant spending more time with Peter then your willing to take the chance. Peter gave a smile and let you in. The two of you hung out in his room. You remembered the fact that he was living with just his aunt. "Peter, do I mind if i ask you a question that may seem sensitive and just personal over all?" You asked. Peter shrugged.

"I don't see why not." he replied.

"What uh... What happened to your parents? You don't have to answer I was just curious." You finally let out. Peter glanced at the floor with a sad expression.

"My parents died years ago and Aunt May and my uncle Ben took care of me until Ben was shot..." he replied quietly. You frowned and pulled Peter into a hug in a comforting way. Peter stood up and hugged you back. A comforting silence between the two of you.

"I know how it feels to lose a loved one... And it's not easy. Your lucky to have a blood realitive care for you while I'm stuck with someone I hardly knew." You spoke out softly. "And you know what Peter... I admire you so much... You've been so strong this entire time and I can't help but admire that so much. You are stronger that I could ever be." at this you pulled away and cupped his face with a hand while the other rested on his shoulder. You wiped a tear from his cheek and gave him a comforting smile. "I'd say it's time for us to sleep... I think you could use it the most." Peter nodded and took top bunk while you took the bottom and snuggled into the sheets. Though after a few minutes you heard peter call out your name quietly. "What's wrong Peter?" You asked gently.

"... I can't sleep." he spoke out. You rolled over and rubbed your eyes.

"Come down here." You said. Peter got down from the top bunk and crawled in with you. You wrapped your arms around him and cuddled into his chest. The both of you fell asleep a lot quicker then expected. Though peter woke up yet again in the middle of the night and kissed your forehead. You smiled in your sleep and nuzzled his chest. peter couldn't help but smile at how adorable you were before he actually went asleep. He wished he could stay in this moment forever.

~~~

The next morning arose and you were incredibly comfortable. You knew for a fact you were cuddling with Peter and you didn't want to get up ever though you had a feeling Tony or Steve would call you anytime soon so you decided to enjoy the moment for a few minutes longer before having to wake up Peter.
