𝐴𝐿𝐼𝐾𝐸 - Peter Parker

34.

Peter's POV

I waited for the alarm behind me to go off. I had woken up at around 06.45, so there had still been a good fifteen, till it would go off. Rue was still sound asleep, snoring a bit from time to time. When she swallowed a lump her throat, she would always close her mouth, and after that the snoring would stop. People call these things flaws, but they're not. Knowing every little detail about another person and loving them no matter what. That's really how you know you've found someone special. 

Rue's favorite movie quote, was by Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting. 

"You're not perfect, sport. And let me save you the suspense. This girl you've met, she isn't perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other." 

The alarm went off behind me and I quickly hit the top of it with my hand, turning it off. Rue moved in the sheets, and groaned that she just needed five more minutes. I went out to the kitchen and made some breakfast, for the both of us. Meanwhile she took a shower and got ready, before sitting down and eating. I had already finished up at that point, so now it was my turn to get ready. Shower. Brush teeth. Clothes. Pack the back and lastly get Rue out the door with me. There was still sleep in her eyes as we walked, and she even took a nap on my shoulder on the train ride to school. Life was good.

"We really gotta do something about us not having a single class together... except for P.E." Rue said, as she found the combination on her locker. 

"At least we've got Mj and Ned in our classes," 

"Yeah," she scoffed, agreeing with me and closed the locker. "If it weren't for Mj, I would never have made it through the first two years," she pointed out, and we started walking hand in hand to our classes. 

"Same here, with Ned," I said and looked down at her. 

"I really like Ned, and I can definitely see why you're frien-" Liz walked by and bumped into Rue's shoulder, making Rue turn her head and stop up in irritation.

"Rue let's just go," I said and pulled her hand forward. She took a deep breath and we were walking again. We parted ways, when we had reached her class. 

"Hey man," Ned smiled as I sat down next to him. 

"Hey, what's up," 

"What are you doing this weekend?" he asked now whispering, since the class had begun. 

"I've got that stark internship," I answered while I opened up my computer and dug up my notes for the class. He did the same. "Why what's up?" I then asked. 

"Nothing. How's it going with you and Rue?" he asked and started typing on his computer. I was immediately taken back to me and Rue's first time. 

"It's going... really... really good," I nodded, while smiling and thinking about her. Ned turned his head and had a weird suspicious smirk on his face. "What?" I chuckled, trying to seem confused, but I knew my cover had been blown.

"Peter," he leaned in closer. "Have you had... sex?" he asked carefully. I smiled just at the word, and it was over. "Holy shit, you did!" he whispered excitedly. I leaned back in my chair and scratched my neck defeatedly. "When?" he then asked. Might as well just tell the truth.

"The first time was like... two weeks ago," I answered hesitantly, only wanted the topic to be changed. She had officially been living with me for a whole month now, and I was more crazy about her than ever. Ned soon let the very private topic go, and told me that he was just happy that I was happy. 

When the bell finally dismissed us from the last class, I went out to the hall. I soon spotted Rue and Mj standing at Rue's locker chatting and laughing. As I started approaching them, I saw Mj look at her watch. Then she hurriedly hugged Rue goodbye and then proceeded to run out the big double doors.

"What was all that about?" I asked and Rue turned her head away from her locker and up to me. 

"Oh she was late to picking up her little brother," she casually stated as she continued to pack all her books in her locker. She was wearing black straight legged jeans, just like Mj did too. It was a fairly cold day so she was wearing a grey hoodie over the teeshirt I had seen her wear this morning. I leaned my shoulder up against the locker next to hers and crossed my arms on my chest. 

"You know... May isn't gonna be home until late," I smirked when she paused and turned her head to me and smiled. Her eyes scanned my body quickly while she smiled smugly. 

"Oh yeah?" she took a small step up to me and lifted her chin up, so our mouthes were close. 

"Yeah," I let our lips touch and she moved her arms over my shoulders. 

"Mr. Parker, Ms. Hart, not in school please," a grouchy old teacher reprimanded as he walked by us. She had turned her head but I was still looking down at her with my lips parted. I hadn't been ready for that kiss to end. 

"We better head home then, Mr. Parker," Rue smiled and closed the locker behind her back, as she started heading for the door, pulling me with her in her hand. It was torture to sit next to her on that train ride, when she smelled like an angel. Put on earth. Just for me. 

The moment she turned that key and unlocked the apartment door, my lips were already smeared onto hers. She was taken by surprise, but quickly adjusted to it and closed the door with her foot. I pushed her backwards with my hands on her hips, until she was trapped against a wall. She grabbed the edge of my teeshirt and pulled it over my head, and then threw it down on the floor next to us. 

"Hope I'm not interrupting," Rue and I both let out embarrassing screams and hugged each other, when the sudden voice had been heard. It was Mr. Stark, standing in my kitchen watching us. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes in relief.

"What the fuck," I exclaimed and raised my hand to my head to process what had just happened. 

"Tony what-... you can't just barge in here!" Rue yelled at him. 

"Chill out. We're gonna pretend that didn't happen..." Tony said and picked up a glass duck May had bought at some flee market. "Well the reason I came here in person, which I now regret... Peter will you?" I pointed at my bare stomach and the teeshirt, that was laying inside out on the floor. "Just put on the goddamn shirt," Tony sighed and I now understood 100% and put it on. 

"You were saying?" Rue encouraged. 

"Yes. We have just now made it official, that the avengers are back together. I want to offer the two of you, to join our team. Sorry we! We want to offer the two of you to join our team... god I knew that would happen," he mumbled the last thing, barely so we could hear it. Rue glanced up at me, clearly not knowing what to answer. 

"Thank you Mr. Stark... we'll think about it," I said, making Mr. Stark lift his eyebrows in confusion. 

"You'll... think about it?" he arrogantly questioned and took off his glasses. He then looked down at Rue, asking only with his eyes, what her opinion was. 

"Yeah," Rue nodded and then put her arm around my back. 

"Well suit yourselves,..." he took a moment to look down at his watch. "I gotta go anyway," he smiled briefly and then headed for the door. "By the way I'm not loving this... thing you two have going on," he added and turned back around to the door walking out.
