a/n: okay surprise...it's been two years not five. I made it two years for a few reasons. one, I literally HATE that they made it five years, I feel like it was unnecessary and messed up a lot of things, so I'm just doing the typical fic writer thing and fixing what I don't like about canon alskdjalsk but. also two, because I would have felt really weird and uncomfortable making a five year age gap between peter and reader, especially since peter's a minor. reader being 22 when peter is 17 would have been not okay for me to write. even if it's cruel I'd rather they broke up than date with that large of an age gap at their age. three, I feel like realistically after five years...reader would have moved on. and the point of this story is to make them together and happy because I don't like having unhappy endings, so. yeah.
warnings: language, some angst but not as bad as the last two lol
TWO YEARS LATER:
"May, what the hell is this supposed to be?"
You poked the food in the pot with a spoon, making a face while May winced. She put her oven mitts down on the counter and crossed her arms, sighing.
"I tried making chicken and dumplings? My friend gave me a new recipe but I lost the paper so I just kind of winged it?"
"I thought after we set the building fire alarm off last month we agreed not to experiment in the kitchen?" You chuckled, putting the fork down and crossing your arms.
"I know, but I wanted to make something special," she pouted, "I rarely see you anymore."
"I come by every week, May," you turned the stove off, "School keeps me busy and I'm up at the compound during most of my free time, you know that. And I came by your work just a few days ago with lunch, didn't I?"
"I guess," she muttered, making you laugh a little while she started cleaning up the food she had ruined, "Want to go out to eat instead?"
"Sounds good to me. Better than whatever that is-"
She hit you with a towel and told you to get out of her kitchen, making you laugh again as you jumped out of the way to avoid it.
"Fine, fine, tell me when you're ready!"
You left the kitchen, shaking your head. She yelled at you to figure something out to go get while she finished cleaning up the mess.
"Hey, did you get the mail yet?" You peeked your head back into the kitchen.
"No, you mind grabbing it?"
"Sure thing!"
You went back outside and headed down the flight of stairs, since the elevator was broken. It was raining but luckily the mailroom was just inside, so you greeted one of the neighbors as you unlocked May's mailbox.
There were a few things and you grabbed them quickly, looking through them as you headed back up. A letter for May from a friend in another state, a typical spam letter from your bank, a tuition receipt from your school. Your eyes fell on the last piece of mail and you felt your heart drop a little.
Addressed to Peter Parker.
It was just some dentist reminder postcard, but you clutched it a little tight. He hadn't gotten mail in well over a year - they had stopped coming after May changed the address and took his name off the mailing list. But sometimes one snuck through, and it didn't seem to get easier.
