A Flame in Your Heart

Narrative: The love that Michelle and Peter shared was a long story. What started off as nothing but a spark, gradually turned into an everlasting flame that could never die out as long as they have one another.
Just a cute little fluff, because I love fluff ☺️

Peter didn't know why his heart pounded so much. He got the girl as she laid sleep in his arms. But maybe it's because his mind still couldn't wrap around the reality.

His face heated up as he remembered. Michelle Jones was not the easiest person to come across. In the beginning, she would hardly ever talk to him. Usually it had been insults and sarcastic applause thrown here and there. At that time, he wasn't as infatuated with her due to being taken by another fair female. That was the time where the two had been strangers to each other and what lied ahead.

In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you, no other will do

Over the course of the year, things changed and feelings did too. Now, Peter had been crushing on Michelle. And Michelle? Well, she'd never convey, but she had been fond of him too. That, that there had ignited a spark. Some thing, some connection between the two had put them on a path to the journey of their story.

But it abruptly had to be put on hold when chaos erupted in the world— in the galaxies, as a purple mad man decimated 50% of the population. And the two had been lost in a plain of non-existence.

I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you'd feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me

Five years later, the world had started anew. But five months after was when their tale really got interesting. For the few months since school has started, Peter and Michelle have been passing constant signals of admiration, rekindling the spark from before. Ned would constantly tease Peter for it, while also interrogating Michelle for her input.

Past their sprinkle of flirtation, the three formed an unforeseen bond. This helped flourish Peter and Michelle's love as it built a foundation stronger than the typical short-lived passion in today's relationships. More fuel had been added to their spark, but it was quite the slow burn.

I don't want to set the world on fire, honey
I love you too much
I just want to start a great big flame down in your heart
You see, way down deep inside of me, darling
I have only one desire
And that one desire is you
And I know, baby, ain't nobody else gonna do

As stated before, it wasn't until five months after their return, when their science class held a field trip to Europe, that Michelle and Peter's relationship had truly initiated. During the trip, Peter had struggled to truly identify Michelle's feelings for him and how he'd manage after the death of his mentor.

The trip caused more trouble than expected. He had to face a new villain, intense emotions, and his identity being revealed to the public eye. The only good outcome was learning that Michelle liked him too, and from then on their relationship stepped up another level.

The outcome of the trip was awful, but with Michelle and others by his side, the damage done by Mysterio was fixed. And Peter and Michelle stayed together through it all. It took them a while to really publicize their relationship, but after doing so there were many opinions on it by their peers. Although, Peter hadn't really cared what others thought. All he wanted to do was be the best person for her. To learn and love her, and be the one she loved too.

It took a year for Michelle to admit those word to him though. At that same time Peter asked her to take their relationship up yet another notch, making them official. Boyfriend and girlfriend were too simple of words to describe their new step though. He instead called them lovers. Because he admitted those feelings for her just a few months before. Therefore, love suited them as they were each other's first love. And unknown to them now, they would remain to love each other for the rest of their lives.

Now here they were on the couch of his and his aunt's apartment. Michelle slept soundly on top of him with her head buried into his neck as he reminisced. What he felt for her was something so overwhelming and uncontrollable similar to the rampaging fire that'd spread fast around it's surroundings. His love for her could probably light the world on fire.

Too busy thinking, he hadn't noticed Michelle waking up from her nap. She yawned so quiet parallel to a cat. Michelle looked to the side to see her boyfriend staring up to the ceiling. She knew he must've been thinking deeply again. He tends to do so during quiet moments. But she had nothing against it since it allowed her to adore his features. This time had been different though. She just wanted to sleep. And she did so.

She bent down even lower than before. Her earlier position got more uncomfortable. She now was able to lay her head on his masculine chest. From there she could hear the rapid pounding of both their hearts. The beats had been harmonious, as if it were just one. Not known to either of them she started to think about their relationship too, all the while fighting the sleep that laid heavy on her. She came across the idea that he set a flame to her heart. Maybe that's why it never stopped beating so rapidly when he was in her presence. It was an everlasting flame that symbolized their love, and she hoped it would stay lasting. Those were her last thoughts before she lost the battle to sleep.

Meanwhile, Peter strayed from his thoughts to notice her move from her earlier position. She must've gotten up but fallen back asleep as he saw her expression blissful with her eyes closed. He smiled at her before wrapping his arms around her tight, and laying his head on top of hers just below it. Slowly, sleep consumed him too, and they laid on the couch in comfortable slumber.

A/N: So I'm going to be honest, I practically bullshitted(is that how you say it?) through this one shot. It was just a little idea I had after listening to my vinyl of The Ink Spots. The song above has always been one of my favorites before it regained its popularity being used on music.ly or video edits on Instagram. Anyways I hope it's worth the read, love you my loyal readers and fellow new comers♡
