Collateral-Peter Parker x OC [2]

Chapter 11

When Arya woke up the next morning she almost didn't remember the events of the earlier night. Until the thought of his lips on hers came flooding back to her. She shook her head at herself, embarrassed of how bold she had been. She hoped it wouldn't be awkward between the two. 

Arya sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes before standing up and heading towards the kitchen. Arriving in the kitchen she was met with Peter, located in the same place he was hours prior. 

"Good morning," he spoke, glancing over at the girl.

Peter felt the same way Arya did, he was nervous she would regret it.

"Good morning," she replied.

The two could feel the tension between them, but neither wanted to acknowledge it. Arya walked to the sink, grabbing a glass and filling it with water before she sat at the counter near where Peter stood.

"So," Arya spoke, "Are we doing something today or?,"

"Nah, Max said he'll call if he comes up with anything so we don't need to go to oscorp," he explained.

Arya nodded, taking a sip of her water.

"Unless you wanna do something," Peter suggested, glancing over at her.

Arya glanced up at the boy, "I don't know," she spoke, "I was thinking maybe you could show me around or something, you know cause I don't live here," 

Peter nodded, "yeah, yeah sure we can do that," he agreed, he figured it would give them more time together, specifically time to talk about the kiss. 

"Ok" she nodded, running her finger's through her hair.

"Uhm do you wanna swing or walk?,"

"Whichever," she responded with a shrug.

"Alright well, do you wanna go now?,"

"Sure we can go now," she nodded, standing up and walking with Peter towards the door. 

...

The couple had been walking around the town for a couple of hours before Peter decided to take her up to the empire state, his spot.

"Alright, grab on," Peter spoke, looking toward the girl. 

Arya glanced at him before wrapping her arms around his neck, "where are we going?," she asked.

"You'll see," Peter spoke, wrapping an arm around her, "Ready?,"

Arya gave him a suspicious look before nodding, "I'm ready,"

Peter nodded and abruptly lept into the air, webs springing from his wrist. Arya clenched her eyes closed, gripping tighter onto the boy as the wind blew her hair. 

After the two had swung in the air for a while, Peter set her down on the top of the state building, "You can open your eyes now," he spoke, letting go of her waist.

As Arya opened her eyes they quickly widened, "Jesus, are you trying to kill me?," she spoke, glancing at the giant drop below her.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't let you fall," he told her reassuringly. "Cmon sit,"

Arya removed her arms from around his neck and sat next to the boy, her legs dangling over the edge, "why'd you bring me up here? It's terrifying,"

Peter shrugged, "This is where I come to relax,"

"To relax?," she said, a small laugh escaping her, "I wouldn't call this relaxing, but to each their own," she spoke, "The view is beautiful though"

"Yeah, yeah it is," he spoke, but he wasn't staring at the view, he was staring at her.

The two sat like this for a while, admiring the view of the city below. They watched as birds flew and cars drove down below. 

"Peter?," Arya spoke, breaking the silence.

"Yeah?,"

"Can I ask you a question?,"

"Mhm," Peter nodded, still staring out towards the sky.

"Did you really tell me everything? About what happened with the multiverse?,"

Peter looked towards her, his face confused, "I think so,"

"Are you sure? I feel like there's something you're not telling me," she spoke, turning towards him. 

Peter watched her, confused as to what she meant, he thought she trusted him, "What do you mean?,"

Arya was silent for a moment, contemplating, "Did something happen between us there?," she spoke. "Is that why you kissed me?,"
