Life is not a Fairytale (PeterParkerxReader)

Chapter 9: Confess

Your Pov:
I know dad would kill me, but when Peter asked "Hey, do you want me to stay with you until you fall asleep?"

"Yeah, I would like that."

So we went back to my room, and just sat on my bed really awkward. But then out of nothing, he put his arm around me. I mean, not that I was complaining, it was really nice and I felt safe, but it was really unexpected. I looked up to Peter, which made me stare into his eyes. He turned his head away, but then back again.

"Look Y/n, I have to tell you something. I uhm, I-" but before he could finish his sentence, I already fell asleep on his shoulder.

Peter's Pov:
"Look Y/n, I have to tell you something. I uhm, I-" but then I stopped.

I saw her sleeping on my shoulder. So I gave her a hug, so she could sleep in my arms.

"I really like you, Y/n." I whispered.

I knew she heared me, because she woke up. "What?" with a really tired voice.

That moment I had to make a choice. Would I tell her to just go back to sleep again or tell her how I really felt about her.

"I really like you too, Peter. Like really like you." she said before I could answer.

"Shit, dude, she heared you. Okay, respond. Say something, dipshit." I thought in my mind.

"You don't have to say anything, just cuddle with me until I fall asleep."

"Huh?" That was all that I could respond with.

"Mindreading, remember? You think really loud." Y/n said, tapping on her head.

"How could I forget. But okay, I'll cuddle with you. Come here."

I put my arms around her and she put her head on my chest. And then we fell asleep, and for a moment, everything was okay.

Pepper's Pov:
I couldn't sleep that night. I felt guilty for letting Y/n go to school, even though she told me I didn't have to be. I got up from the bed, and walked to Y/n's room. I just needed to know if she was okay, and if necessary, if she needed a hug or some comfort.

I opened the door, but then I saw she was already safe. I have no idea how tell Tony that our daughter was sleeping in the same bed as Peter Parker, but I knew she was okay. As long as she was happy, I was happy for her. Peter is a good guy, he would never hurt her on purpose.

I walked back to the bedroom, and I saw Tony sitting straight up in bed. He turned away, but I saw he had been crying.

"I feel so bad for Y/n. I just want to hurt that guy so bad." He said when he saw me.

"Okay, here is what you're gonna do. Tomorrow, you are going to bring her to school, walk with her straight to the principal's office and explain what happened. And don't forget to make a big entrance, so everyone knows you do not mess with the Starks, okay?" I told him.

I knew once he had made a dramatic point, he would feel better.

"Thank you, Pepper. I needed that." Tony said before giving me a sweet kiss.

"Oh and honey? Peter and Y/n like each other, but you didn't hear it from me."
