Marvel Imagines

A New Spider [Part 5/Epilogue] | Peter Parker

A few weeks later and life had settled back to "normal" with you and Peter coordinating patrols and even developing a communication system linked to an earpiece implanted in your masks that allowed the two of you to talk while on patrol.⁣
You were lounging on a chair in the library, having taken the day off patrolling to study for a test when you got a text from Peter.⁣
"Meet me on our roof in ten." then another message, "don't wear the suit,"⁣
You smiled and began gathering your books, stuffing them into your bag before making your way onto the bus and riding it to where the building Peter was talking about was located. You found your way to the roof-access stairwell and climbed, opening the door to the roof.⁣
"Peter?" you called out once the door was closed behind you. You turned and took in the scene; There was a large picnic blanket draped over the edge of the building, the part that was still on the roof was held down by random bits and bobs, but what really caught your breath was the flowers spread out all over it.⁣
"Will you go to the dance with me, Y/n?" Peter asked nervously, appearing behind you with his hands shoved into his pockets.⁣
"Of course I will!" you grinned, blushing. He'd done all this for you? It was so thoughtful.⁣
When the dance actually came around, you and Peter were enjoying every minute of it. You danced and laughed together the entire time before you found yourselves munching on sweets at a table near the back while everyone else was still dancing, a temporary quiet oasis.⁣
"Y/n..." Peter cleared his throat, looking down at the table and up at your face, "I've been meaning to tell you this for a while but..." he was obviously nervous, his hands were shaking under the table. "I don't... God, I don't want to make things weird. Okay, okay, here it goes: I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you since before I knew you were Spider-Woman, you're my best friend and I can't believe it's taken me so long to tell you."⁣
He waited nervously for a response, staring at the table. ⁣
You were shocked, to say the least. More shocked to realize that you felt the same way.⁣
"I love you too, Peter Parker." you smiled sheepishly.
He finally looked up and focused on your face. A war blush had spread across both of your faces; you were both glad to finally get that off of your chests.
