Peter Parker One-Shots & Drabbles

Imagine doing the big chop, showing off your natural hair & Peter loving it

Today was the day. The day you'd be going to school, showing off your natural hair. Up until today, your mom had used relaxers or a hot comb to keep your hair straight or you'd go to the salon and get braids. But you had had enough of the chemical-induced burns to your scalp and burning your ear off when your mom combed your hair with the hot comb. So you begged your mom to take you to the salon last weekend to cut off all your relaxed hair, which left you with nothing but a tiny afro.

You also convinced your mom to get you a bunch of earrings to help balance out the shortness of your afro. Today, you picked out a pair of gold hoop earrings that would go with your afro. You ran into MJ on the way to your locker and she gave you a silent nod of approval at your hair and you mouthed a 'thank you'.

You greeted your locker neighbor and boyfriend, Peter Parker, before gathering your books from your own locker. It wasn't until he pulled his head out of his locker that he noticed you changed your hair.

"Wow, um...hi, (Name)," Peter said, staring at you causing his breath to hitch. "How...how was your weekend?"

"Oh, you know, nothing major. Binge watched some stuff on Netflix and went to the salon and cut off all my permed hair. The usual." You said, trying your best to act nonchalant.

"Yeah, uh...you cut it?"

"Yep, cut off all my straight ends. This is what it looks like without all those chemicals or straighteners. You like?"

"Yeah, it's a cute–I mean great look for you. It looks cute and great on you."

You chuckled as Peter struggled to find the words on how to respond, but you could tell from the way he looked at you that he liked what he saw. The way he looked at you could only be described as if he had fallen in love all over again. You leaned forward and kissed him square on the lips. It was brief, but it was soft and warm, just like he was. You pulled away and smiled at Peter as he stood there, his cheeks aflame.

"Thanks, babe."
