Infelicity [P. Parker x Reader]

Y'all-

Thank you so much for 2K reads. I really appreciate all of it and it really does make me smile to get a notification that someone has saved my book or made a comment. Anyways, Happy Valentine's Day as well.

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT I FOUND OUT HALFWAY THROUGH WRITING THIS CHAPTER: The boba tea shop I go to at least once a month has closed for good. *sobs* I'm pretty sad. That was the best place I know of in my town. So now I'm gonna go find boba.

Plane rides are weird. Half the time, you have the worst luck on seats and get stuck behind some lady with the strongest perfume that makes you gag. Other times, there's some kid crying and kicking your chair.

Luckily, however, I seemed to be lucky this time. I had Peter right next to me and whoever was supposed to sit next to us was not there. An eight hour and forty-five minute flight wouldn't be so bad. Peter and I knew we'd end up watching movies or doing random crap.

That would've been the case, but I ended up falling asleep a little less than halfway through the flight leaving Peter to his own devices while having to worry about my head on his shoulder.

I did somehow wake up about an hour before the flight ended, so we ended up watching some tv show I had downloaded on my phone from the last time I was stuck in a car.

Looking around at my other classmates, I saw how close Ned and Betty seemed to have gotten. What's weird was I would've never seen that coming; they seemed so different, but that may be what makes them perfect.

After the flight, we met back up with Ned. Surprisingly enough, Betty wasn't around, but it wasn't long until she made her appearance.

"Would you hold this for me, babe?" she asked, passing Ned a bag.

He quickly agreed and I eyed Peter who was eyeing me, before letting out some chuckles. He seemed so confused, but what can you expect from someone completely oblivious about almost everything.

Ned bopped her nose and she walked off.

I turned to Peter and mumbled, "We're not like that, are we?"

He only shook his head, still a bit confused.

"What was that?" Peter asked.

Biggest grin on his face, Ned explained, "Well, we got to talking on the plane and it turns out we have a lot in common. So we're boyfriend and girlfriend now."

"What happened to being an American bachelor in Europe?" I asked, shifting the weight of my bookbag to the other shoulder.

"You heard that? Those were words of a boy who has now met a woman. A very strong and powerful woman. And now that boy's a man."

He was called away afterwards and we're both left there dumbfounded, before I burst out laughing at Ned's new change in attitude.

"I'd never see that coming in a million year," Peter added.

We were making our way out of the airport, but I immediately realized Peter wasn't with us. How the hell has he already gotten lost in Europe? We hadn't even been here for an hour.

"Wait, we're missing someone. Where's-" Mr. Harrington started.

"I'm here! I'm here, sorry about that!" Peter called out.

Stepping in place next to me, I asked, "And how, may I ask, did you already get behind?"

"May accidentally packed a banana with my Spider-man suit, so I got held up at security. Not that I want my suit to be packed either, but they didn't even ask about it."
