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

Chapter 15

Your eyes struggled to open as bright lights shined down on them and your hearing began to kick in hearing soft breathing. You blinked open your eyes and felt a weight on your left side. You shifted your head and blushed at the sight. There laid a sleeping Peter Parker. His arms crossed over your stomach while he head rested on top of them but turned towards your face. You moved a shaky hand to stroke his hair gently and to move a curl away from his eyes. You could help but smile at this and realize how much peter truly loved you. "You should have seen the way he acted when he brought you here..." a familiar voice spoke. You glanced up to see Stephen leaning against the doorway of the room. "He came barging in here almost the same way I did when looking for answers... Though the kid barged in, fell to the floor crying with you in his arms and screaming for my name and to help. Once I found out the issue... I agreed. Though I agreed because your practically my daughter." he added as he stayed in his spot. His cloak flew off and landed on Peter to keep him warm.

"He really did that...? I'm surprised he didn't take me to the hospital." You spoke out as you glanced back down at Peter as you held his hand.

"He told me that if he went to the hospital, he knew the Avengers would find out and that he would take all the blame if they ever lashed out. But... He knew that's not what you would have wanted so he brought you here knowing I could somehow help." he explained as he glanced down at his hands then back at the two of you. "He's a good kid, (Y/n)... He's not the type of person you should let go of. Cherish the relationship you have with him. It's a beautiful one and it will continue to flourish if you keep it up." he spoke with a smile. Peter stirred in his sleep and he noticed you were awake before his eyes widened.

"Y-Your awake!" he exclaimed before quickly hugging you but being super careful at the same time. "I'm so sorry... This was all my fault. I shouldn't have let you come with me. I shouldn't have been such a burden to you. I-" before he could continue you grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him into a passionate kiss to shut him up. He froze in his spot but kissed back instantly and cupped your cheek lovingly. You pulled away from him only by a few inches and stared into his chocolate brown eyes.

"Don't you dare blame yourself for what happened... If anything. The blame should be on me. I volunteered to make sure you were safe and it's my fault for finding an interest in you seeing as how you were the only person my age at the time. Guess you could say that curiosity got the best of me." You said as you stroked his cheek with your thumb. "So promise me you won't blame yourself for anything that I chose to do. Got it Parker?" You asked sincerely as your eyes never broke contact with his. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before nodding. You smiled and pressed your forehead against his. "Good... None of this was your fault..." You muttered softly before giving him another kiss.

"I'll leave you two be." Stephens voice rang out. You flushed pure red completely forgetting he was there. Pete turned to glance at the older man as the cloak flew off his shoulders and returned to Stephen.

"S-sorry sir." he stuttered nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck. Stephen approached Peter and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. I'm glad you took care of her in the end. I actually think your good for her." he spoke out kindly. Though he leaned to his ear. "Though if you break her heart or hurt her so help me you better run..." he threatened in a whisper. Peter paled but nodded.

"I promise I wont sir." he replied with a smile though he was panicking on the inside. Stephen gave a smile and Peter a pat on the shoulder before leaving the room with you two in it. Peter turned back to you and sat on the end of the bed you were laying in. You hadn't realized that he was looking at you while you looked at the wounds you had on you. You had a large cut on your shoulder and a few bruises here and there. You had a cut on your cheek that would probably become a scar at some point. You frowned at the thought of it and Peter seemed to have noticed. "With or without potential scars, I still love you for you." he spoke up. You glanced up at him and he held those innocent puppy dog eyes he would have from time to time. You couldn't help but smile at his words and motion for him to get closer. Once closer. You pulled him into a tight hug and nuzzled your head into his shoulder.

"Sometimes I feel like your too good for me, Peter..." You muttered softly as you had your eyes closed while hugging him. Peter frowned at your words.

"Why is that...? If anything, it's you who's too good for me." he replied. "Am... I really like that to you?" he added as his grip lossened a bit.

"Yes... And you mean more than that too... You basically mean everything to me. I consider you to be family even. Of course the Avengers too but... I don't feel as close to them as I do with you." You replied honestly. As you nuzzled into him. His grip tightened a bit and he stroked your hair gently.

"The same goes for you, (Y/n)..." he whispered softly. He pulled away and looked into your eyes. "I love you so much..." he added, you almost didn't hear him. He leaned in and kissed you but you fell back gently with him on top of you.

"Thank you so much Stephen for taking care of me... I really appreciate it." You said as you gave Stephen a smile. "I did plan in visiting you just... Not like this." You chuckle.

"It's alright. You know I'm always willing to help you out, (Y/n). Even though my hands don't work as well as they usually do." he said the last part with disappointment. You went up to hug him and he hugged back lightly.

"I'll see you around, Stephen. Though the team needs me at the moment so I gotta get going." You said letting go and grabbing Peter's hand.

"Be safe out there." Stephen said. "And Parker. You take good care of her." he added before the two of you left. You walked peter home as you let the cool breeze hit the two of you as you walked. You didn't have a sweater with you and you couldn't help but shiver. Peter noticed this and handed his sweater to you. You smiled and took it and snuggled into the sweater. The two of you finally stopped in front of his house and you gave him a kiss.

"Take good care of Aunt May, Peter. I'll see you around." You told Peter and gave him a hug before turning around. Though Peter grabbed your wrist to stop you. You turned to look at him confused.

"Do you... Want to spend the night?" he asked shyly. You chuckled and nodded and entered the house with Peter.
