From Enemies To Lovers {Y/n X Peter Parker} My Spider-Man

-15-

I hear a knock on my door. Is it Peter already? It is 7:30. “Come in.” I say. The door wide opens and a messy-haired Nat and Wanda appear. “Why didn’t you tell us that you are going out?!” Nat asks me. “We would have come and help you.” She continues. “Well, you did a really good job on your own. I mean you look hot!” Wanda says. “Trying to impress anyone in particular?” Nat asks me. I think of Peter and my cheeks take a light shade of pink. “Oh my God! Who is it?!” Wanda asks-shouts. “No one!” I reply, but my red cheeks say otherwise. “Is it maybe…Parker?” Nat asks me. I look at her with wide open eyes. “How did you-” I ask her but hers and Wanda’s screams cut me off. “You are perfect for each other!” Wanda says and enfolds my hand into hers. “I don’t even know if he likes me that way.” I say. “Are you kidding?! When we entered the room and we saw you on Peter’s arms, he was holding you so protectively. AND he stood up to your father because of a promise or something like that.” Nat says and I understand what she is talking about. “He remembered, though my father.” I say. “Aww look at her melting!” Wanda says and I compose myself. “I must now relax because he is going to knock any minute soon.” I say and at the same time there is a knock on the door. Nat and Wanda muffle their screams. “Wish me luck!” I say and open the door.

“I am ready.” I say. Peter is speechless. He is trying to find the words to express himself, so he opens his mouth and closes it again. “Is everything okay?” I ask him. “Yeah, you uhh…look very pretty.” He says, stumbling over his words. “Thank you. So, do you.” I say. He nods and we stay in an uncomfortable silence for a while. “So, shall we go?” I ask him. “Huh? Yeah, let’s go.” I didn’t hear him at first, because I was admiring him and he was admiring me as well. He looks very good in a jacket.

We are walking to the restaurant. At first, we are not talking. “How are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere?” he asks me concerned. “Yes of course I am okay. I wasn’t hurt much, since you were there and helped me.” I say. “Well, I didn’t do as much as I wanted to. I wish I could have protected you, I-I mean helped you. You are very capable of standing up for yourself. You don’t need me, well I could be a bit of help to you but-” Peter says, getting more anxious after every word, so I cut him off. “Peter, calm down. You did protect me and I needed you then. I will need you again. Don’t be so nervous.” I say and place a hand on his shoulder. He gives me a generous smile, which I return. 

We have reached the restaurant. Peter opens the door for me. I walk into the restaurant and spot Ned. But who is the girl sitting next to him? Oh, it’s Betty. I wave at them as I make my way with Peter to the table. Me and Peter sit on the couch, leaving a good amount of space between us. “Woah y/n you look amazing.” Betty compliments me. “You look wonderful as well Betty.” I return the compliment. “Hey Peter.” Ned greets. “Hey Ned. I didn’t know Betty would come too. Not that it is any of a problem.” Peter says, giving his friend a ‘why didn’t you tell me?’ look. “Oh, sorry, it slipped my mind. It is just that MJ is going to bring her boyfriend, so I thought I would bring Betty too.” Ned says. I and Peter are oblivious of the plan of the others’ {The others are MJ, her bf, Ned and Betty. Just to be clear}. The restaurant’s door swings open and MJ comes in, accompanied by a biker. They approach our table. “Hey guys, meet Zack, my boyfriend.” She says and introduces us. “Oh, I didn’t know we would be 6 persons and I booked a table for 4.” Peter says. “No worries, just scoot over, you two at the couch.” MJ says, nods to me and Peter. I move a little to my right, towards Peter. “Y/n, move a little more please.” MJ tells me and I give her the ‘what are you doing?’ look. I move a little closer to Peter. “A little more pleeeaaaseee!” MJ pleads. I end up being too close to Peter. We are completely squished and our legs are touching.

After a lovely meal, we are ready to go. We split the bill and exit the restaurant. “So, where are we off to now?” I ask. “How about a walk to the park? It is awfully romantic.” Betty suggests and we all agree. “Oh y/n, could you please give me your jacket because I am freezing?” Betty pleads. “Of course. I am not cold at all.” I tell her and give her my jacket which I am holding. Midway, Zack gets a phone call “Allô mamman. Qu’ est qu’ il a passé?...Non!...Mais ce n’est pas possible!...Comment?...Ok, j’arrive in dix minutes. {=Hello mum. What happened?...No!...But that’s not possible!...How?...Ok, I arrive in 10 minutes.}” Zack says on the phone and then hangs up. “I am sorry, but I have to leave. Something came up.” Zack apologizes. “It’s okay. No worries.” Ned reassures him. “Is it anything serious? I am coming too.” MJ says and without letting Zack respond, they leave. “Hm. I didn’t know Zack was French.” I observe as we continue walking to the park.

Some minutes after, Ned’s phone rings too. “Hello?...Ah aunt Mary. How are you?...What do you mean cousin Jack came?!...Oh, I haven’t seen him in ages…Yes of course I am coming. Bye.” Ned says to the phone and hangs up. “I think you heard what happened, so I will waste no time explaining. I have to go. Betty, will you come as well? It will be a chance for you to meet my family.” Ned says. “Oh my God! Yes of course. Bye guys.” Betty says, excited to meet her in-laws. They leave. “So, I guess it is just the two of us.” Peter says once we are alone. “Yeah.” I mumble in reply.

At first, we are not talking much and just walk. “So, the food was pretty good, right?” he asks trying to get me to talk to him. “Mhm.” I reply. I am nervous, anxious and scared that he will figure my feelings for him. We walk into the park. It is freezing and I remember that I gave Betty my jacket. I cross my hands over my chest, to keep myself a little warm. Peter notices that. “You are cold?” he asks me. “N-no.” I say. “You are.” He replies and takes off his jacket, putting it over my shoulders. “Peter, you don’t have to.” I say. “Don’t be silly. It looks better on you anyways.” He says, causing both of us to blush.
 
The park is indeed romantic. We walk to the center of it. Peter stops walking and takes a deep breath. I look at him and he comes closer. He holds my hands and looks straight into my eyes. “Y/n, I need to tell you something.” He starts and makes my heart beat faster.
