8 days had passed since Skylar and Peter moved to Westview. It had taken them the entire week and a day to finish unpacking. They had to wait for some furniture to arrive from the Avengers compound. While Skylar was upstairs painting their room, Peter was downstairs in the kitchen installing an AI assistant that Tony had made for them as a parting gift.
Skylar was between painting the walls baby blue or beige but ended up going in a completely different direction by deciding to paint it a porcelain white. After about 45 minutes, the room was done; Skylar was surprised that the room ended up looking cozy and inviting. They had a king sized bed, decorated with some fluffy blue pillows and a plain beige cover. There was a medium sofa with a 65 inch TV in front of it. Skylar convinced Peter to put in some artificial plants so it would look aesthetic. She couldn't wait for their children to be running through the house and jumping on the bed.
Skylar went downstairs in search of Peter, just to find a sweaty Peter in some jeans and a black shirt that was stuck to his skin because of the sweat (I'm drooling omg 😩). She admired Peter's chest and then his face in awe.
"Hey," Peter said.
"Hey," Skylar said, looking into Peter's eyes.
"How are you doing with installing Roxie?" Skylar asked Peter.
"Oh! Yeah that, she's ready," Peter said, proud of his work.
"Ok... let's see," Skylar said. "Roxie?" Skylar said, waiting for a response from Roxie.
An aqua green hologram with a sphere form appeared in front of Skylar.
"Miss Stark, glad to finally meet you. I'm at your service, do you need something specific?" A smooth woman's voice responded.
"No, I don't need anything, just checking if you were there... And drop the 'Miss Stark' thing please, just call me Skylar," Skylar said, cringing from Roxie's response.
"Alright, Skylar. Peter is preparing a surprise for you so I recommend you to get ready-" Roxie began to say but was cut off by Peter.
"I think that's enough," Peter said anxiously.
"Ok... but are we gonna ignore the fact that she calls you 'Peter' but she calls me 'Miss Stark'? Skylar said.
"I told her to call me 'Peter', I didn't like the 'Mr. Parker' thing," Peter said, laughing a little.
"Oh but you do like the Mrs. Parker thing," Skylar said smirking.
"Oh yeah, I do," Peter said, smirking too.
"Mr. Stark said that if you were flirting, I should stop you," Roxie said.
"Yep! My dad made that thing," Skylar said laughing.
*1 hour later*
Peter and Skylar were walking to the supermarket because they didn't have enough supplies to survive the weekend. Everyone around was giving Skylar frightened looks, and the kids hid behind their parents. Peter looked down at Skylar and saw her sad face, he put an arm around Skylar and continued walking. When they arrived at the supermarket everyone looked at them and tried to avoid them. While Peter was grabbing the food and putting it in the cart, Skylar was just following him like a lost puppy with her head down and her gaze staring at the floor.
When they got home, Skylar ran upstairs and locked herself in the bathroom. Peter knew she wanted to be alone, so he went to the kitchen to make dinner. Peter wanted to cheer her up so he decided to make Skylar's favorite pasta: pasta carbonara. He gathered the ingredients he needed: olive oil, ½ pound of pancetta, 2 garlic cloves, 3 eggs, 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1 pound of fettuccine and salt. When dinner was ready he went to get Skylar, but to his surprise, Skylar was still sheltering in the bathroom. He knocked on the door...
"Skylar? Baby, open the door please," Peter said.
No response.
"Kyla?" Peter said.
No response.
"Skylar?" Peter said, now panicking.
No response.
Peter kicked down the door (so aggressive 😐🖐🏻) and looked for Skylar. He found her asleep in the bathtub, with puffy eyes, as if she had been crying. Peter's eyes softened at the sight of his fiancé safe in the tub. He bent down and softly pushed her hair out of her face.
"Baby, wake up, dinner is ready," Peter said softly.
"Hmm?" Skylar said, still with her eyes closed.
"Let's go, I made pasta carbonara," Peter said smiling.
Skylar finally opened her eyes and smiled.
"Pasta carbonara?" Skylar said, with a wide smile.
"Yep, c'mon," Peter said.
Skylar quickly stood up and ran downstairs, Peter followed behind her. They sat at their square shaped dining table and ate in peace, chatting about what they were going to do the next day. Tony was going to come visit with Skylar's little sister, Morgan for a few weeks. After dinner, Skylar and Peter washed the dishes, while they danced to 'Hot n Cold' by Katy Perry. They sat on their luxury couch and watched some episodes of 'The Office'. All in all a calm evening.
Suddenly, out of nowhere Skylar remarked "They hate me."
"What?" Peter asked, concerned.
"They hate me," Skylar repeated.
"Who?" Peter asked again.
"Everyone. Didn't you see how people were looking at me when we were on our way to the supermarket?" Skylar said with tears in her eyes.
"Hey, hey, they don't hate you, they're only a little bit scared of your powers, that's all," Peter said, reassuringly, caressing Skylar's cheeks with his hands.
"I didn't mean to hurt anybody, you know that right?" Skylar said with a shaky voice.
"I know Kyla, I know," Peter said, kissing Skylar's forehead.
