STAY: TASM!Peter Parker x Fem!Reader

chapter 8

When I woke up, Peter was standing in front of the mirror looking at his wound. I sat up.

"You okay there?"

"Oh hey. Yeah I'm okay. Good morning." he turned and gave me a smile.

"Good morning." I smiled back. "Are you sure it doesn't hurt?"

"Yep, my wounds and injuries, they heal pretty quick. I'll be perfectly fine tomorrow."

"Okay, good."

"I should probably go back to my room. I'll take shower and get something to eat."

"Yeah, we skipped dinner last night and we missed breakfast, too. It's 12pm already. I'm starving."

He walked towards the door. I realized he was still shirtless.

"Do you want a shirt?"

"Um yes please." I gave him a grey t-shirt.  "Thanks." I nodded.

I walked to the door and opened it. Nat and Tony were standing outside. Nat smirked at me.

"Before you say anything, he was hurt. I was just helping him."

"Sure, Y/N. We believe you." Tony commented.

"Anthony Edward Stark-"

"It's okay." Peter interrupted, laughing.

"You okay Peter?" Natasha asked.

"Yeah, it's nothing. I'm fine, thanks." he smiled.

I went back to my room, showered and went to the kitchen. I made some pasta. Peter wasn't here yet. I decided to got to his room with lunch. I knocked on his door.

"I brought you lunch. I just made some and I thought I'd bring it to you while it was still, well, at least warm." I handed him his plate.

"Thanks, I was about to come down to the kitchen."

"It's not a problem. I was coming upstairs any way."

"Oh okay." he nodded. I was about to turn around to go to my room and eat when he said, "Do you want to come in? We can eat here."

"Uh sure, yeah."

I went inside, sat on the bed. We ate and talked. It was fun.

"Did you change the dressing?"

"I changed it after the shower. It's fine."

"Nice." after a pause I added, "I should probably go. You need to rest."

"You can stay." he blurted and looked up at me as I got up from the bed. "If you want to, of course."

"Do you want me to stay?"

"I don't know. We could do something or we could- we could-"

"Yeah okay. Let's do that." I said. I turned around to keep my plate on the table and also to hide the huge smiled that had somehow formed on my face. There it was again, that fuzzy feeling in my chest. I didn't pay much attention to it and sat back down on the bed.

"So, do you want to maybe-" Peter started.

"Watch a movie?" both of us said together.

"Yep." he laughed.

All of a sudden, there was this weird awkwardness. But the good kind of weird awkwardness. The kind that made your heart flutter and gave you butterflies. I liked it.

"Do you have a laptop?"

"Yeah, Tony gave me one."

"What's your favourite genre?"

"Well, I'd say action or thrillers but honestly I am a sucker for romance. I'd choose a cheesy romantic movie over an action movie any day."

"No way, me too. Have you watched The Notebook?"

"I have, but we can definitely watch it again."

I started the movie and we got under the blanket. We didn't talk much but I stole quick glances in between. By the end of the movie, both of us were in tears.

"That is a beautiful movie." Peter said.

"It sure is." I agreed. I opened my palm in front of me and a box of tissues appeared. I kept it between us. Both of picked up some tissues.

"I never thought I'd see you cry. That too over a movie."

"Do you mean I shouldn't cry? Or I can't cry because I'm a bitch?"

"No. No no no. I didn't mean it like-"

"Peter, I'm kidding." I ruffled his hair. He laughed.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yup."

"What all can you do? I mean with your magic?"

"Oh. Well, actually, I keep discovering stuff I can do. When I first found out about my powers I could only conjure a few objects here and there. That too with a lot of practice. Then I tried to study weapons and make them appear. But weapons as swords and daggers. Not guns. And with a bit more practice it got better and I can conjure up anything now. And I know conjure up sounds like something you'd associate with ghosts but I don't have better word for it. Am I talking too much?"

"No. I like listening to you." that made me smile. He rested his chin on his palm.

"Okay. I can change one object into another." I held up the box of tissues and turned it into a tub of ice cream. He watched me, fascinated. "I can also levitate."

"Which means you can basically fly?" his eyes widened

"Yeah." I got up from the bed and faced my palms to the floor. My hands were surrounded by a purple glow and I started levitating. I bent on of my knees and kept the other leg straight.

"That is so cool." he raised his eyebrows. I smiled and shrugged. I got back down.

"Oh and there's one more thing I can do. But I've only discovered it recently so I haven't told anyone about it." I faced the table and pointed my hand towards the plate I'd kept there. I focused and started to move my hand in one direction and the plate moved with my hand. "Telekinesis." I nodded. "But I can only do small objects, right now. I've been practising."

"That was amazing, brilliant, mind-blowing, fantastic."

"Thank you." I giggled. I giggled.

We sat there in silence for a little while.

"I think I should go now. I'll see you at dinner. And the party is tomorrow."

"I remember. I'll see you."

I got up, waved at him and left.
