This Side of Paradise (Peter Parker x Reader)

2. Peter?

"Take a look around the room. Love comes wearing disguises.."

Y/N's POV

You found yourself sitting on an old bust stop bench outside of the airport. Thanks to your powers you were able to swiftly change out of your suit as to not draw attention to you. So there you sat with your earbuds in listening to a random playlist and waiting. 

"No way" A familiar voice came that startled you. You swiftly took out an earbud, eyes meeting with none other than your best friend from back home, 

"Peter Parker?" You questioned smiling which he quickly returned as he sat next to you, 

"So, what are you- water you doing here?" He asked somewhat nervously. 

"I'll answer that once you do Parker" You quipped as he shook his head and laughed. He looked up at you and smiled which was easy to return. Peter always had this way about him that made you feel safe and happy. 

He quickly looked up as a black SUV approached and parked in front of you two. The window rolled down revealing the familiar face of Happy Hogan. 

"Oh, Y/n" He said suprised, the last time you saw Happy was years ago before the whole incident with Tony happened. 

"Hey happy" You said smiling halfway,

"Need a ride?"

As the car continued its journey, you found yourself engaged in casual conversation with Peter, catching up on each other's lives and reminiscing about old times. The familiarity and ease of your friendship washed away any initial awkwardness, and soon you were immersed in a lively exchange of stories and laughter.

The city passed by outside the car window, its vibrant sights and sounds creating a backdrop to your conversation. You couldn't help but steal glances at Peter every now and then, amazed by how much he had grown since you last saw him. The same boyish charm was still present, but there was an added maturity and confidence in his demeanor that intrigued you.

As you crossed the bridge, the mesmerizing sight of birds soaring through the sky caught your attention. Their graceful movements against the backdrop of the setting sun stirred a sense of wonder within you. Peter noticed your captivated gaze and inquired about your interest, his voice carrying a mix of curiosity and amusement.

"Looking out the window?" you responded, a playful smile tugging at the corners of your lips. The pigeon's squawk broke the momentary silence, causing both of you to chuckle at the unexpected interruption.

Amidst the lighthearted banter, you received a text notification on your phone. It was from Wanda, and you quickly glanced at the message. The address you shared with Happy seemed to coincide with the place where you and Peter would be staying.

"That's where we're staying!" Peter exclaimed, a hint of excitement evident in his voice. You nodded in confirmation, feeling a surge of anticipation building up within you. It was becoming clear that your impromptu reunion with Peter in Germany was not a mere coincidence.

The car continued its smooth journey through the city, weaving through the bustling streets and winding its way toward your destination. As the anticipation grew, you couldn't help but wonder what awaited you at this shared location and how your paths had converged once again.

Thoughts swirled in your mind, mingling with a sense of curiosity, adventure, and a touch of apprehension. The unexpected turn of events had opened up a world of possibilities, and you knew deep down that this journey would lead to extraordinary experiences and revelations.

Lost in contemplation, you leaned back in your seat, watching the cityscape transform outside the window. The intertwining of your life with Peter's, both as a friend and as a newfound superhero ally, filled you with a sense of purpose and a growing desire to uncover the secrets that lay ahead.

Little did you know that this chance encounter with Peter would mark the beginning of a remarkable chapter in both of your lives, one filled with exhilarating adventures, unbreakable bonds, and the discovery of your own hidden strengths.***

You got the room which was right next to Peter's and stepped inside. It was nice, big, but nice. You were looking around when you saw a note on the Tv.

Dear Y/n,

It's Tony, the guy who tried to kill your team earlier. I made Happy write this because I want you to know that I'm not mad at you and I'm not going to have something come to kill you while you sleep.

-Tony

You laughed as you read it. 

"Yeah right" You mumbled walking over to the bed when you heard a noise from outside. Walking over opening the door that led to the balcony you saw Spider-Man from earlier crawl into Peter's room,

"This is! This is amazing! You heard Peter say excitedly, "Mr. Stark was all like Hey Underoo's and I thwipped up and landed and- Uh just a second!" 

"You know we have thin walls here?" Happy's voice came. You sat down on your bed It was Peter. Peter is Spider-Man. Spider-Man is Peter Parker.

You sat there on the edge of your bed, processing the revelation that Peter was Spider-Man. The pieces started to fall into place as you recalled all the times Peter would disappear suddenly or make up excuses for his injuries. It was all starting to make sense now.

Your thoughts were interrupted as you heard Peter's voice again, this time a little more distant as he moved away from the wall. Curiosity got the better of you, and you quietly stepped onto the balcony, trying to catch a glimpse of the conversation.

"You've been holding out on us, kid," Happy remarked with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Yeah, well, it's not something I go around telling everyone," Peter replied, his voice filled with a mix of excitement and vulnerability. "I mean, it's kind of a big responsibility, you know?"

You watched as Peter paced back and forth, his gestures animated as he recounted his recent encounter with Tony Stark and the events that led him to become Spider-Man.

"I've always wanted to do something meaningful, to make a difference," Peter continued, his voice growing more earnest. "And being Spider-Man... It's like I finally found my calling."

Happy listened attentively, nodding occasionally as Peter shared his hopes and fears, the weight of the world resting on his young shoulders. As you observed your best friend, a sense of admiration swelled within you. You had always known Peter as a kind-hearted, brave, and intelligent individual, but now you saw him in a completely different light.
