All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 45

(Y/n) sat next to MJ as they watched a new movie together. MJ had invited her over for the weekend since her parents had to go visit some friend who was having a baby or something. But any excuse to stay over was a good one to (y/n), who showed up in record time. MJ was a friend she could do nothing with, and there wasn't any pressure to talk, be social, or think of activities to do. Her "platonic wife could rejuvenate her spirit with her mere presence"(as MJ put it dramatically).

"I watched this movie with Peter before, but I didn't get it then," (y/n) said tiredly.

"Before everything?" MJ asked.

"Yeah," (y/n) said.

"Do you get it now?" MJ asked.

"Better than before," (y/n) stated.

MJ side-eyed her, trying to observe her friend in any way as her mind turned.

"... ya know, you've been mentioning Peter a lot lately," MJ stated, her eyes narrowing at her slyly.

"I have?" (y/n) asked.

"Kinda," MJ said.

"Is that bad?" (y/n) asked.

"No. Just an observation," MJ told her.

Screw a relaxing night in. I need answers! If Peter thinks he can hide his feelings from me, it'd be an insult, MJ thought.

"So, how was patrol last night?" MJ asked, keeping her voice in her usual monotone manner.

"It was a calm night, no crime or anything. But I almost had a meltdown again," (y/n) explained.

MJ's determination was replaced with mild concern as her head snapped towards the (h/c) haired girl. "Oh god, you ok?" MJ asked.

"Yeah, Peter calmed me down. I was getting paranoid again, and he talked to me. Then he swung me around the city," she said.

MJ's concern waned a bit, her curiosity peeking around the corner with a listening ear. "Oh?" she asked.

"It took a little convincing, but it was really relaxing after that first fall," (y/n) said.

"Fall?"

"Yeah. We jumped off a building,"

"WHAT?"

"There was this one time where he was getting tired from carrying me, and I thought he was going to drop me, but-"

"Carried you? Like a piggyback ride?" MJ asked.

"Umm, not really. He had to hold me against his side. A piggyback would have thrown off his balance, and we'd have splat against the side of a building... MJ, you ok," (y/n) asked as she stared at her friend, who was staring at her in turn with an incredulous look in her dark eyes.

"MJ?"

"Hm? Oh, sorry, I'm just tired and confused. I gotta rewind the movie a minute or two," MJ said, picking up the remote from the coffee table.

THE TEA IS HOT, her mind played on repeat.

"Man, I could use some Ice-cream..." MJ muttered to herself.

"Hmm? Ice cream? Do you want to go get some?" (y/n) asked.

MJ sat there on the couch, her mouth opening to refuse, but the longer she sat there, the more it sounded appealing, especially since the nearest Dollar General was only a ten-minute walk...

"Sure. Let's go get our stuff," she said, trying her best not to smile too much.
