"I've been studying a possible antidote for the Oscorp neutralizer, I think that we can use Harley," Peter told you as he was showing you the different antidotes that he had been working on, hiding them in his closet.
You couldn't help but smile at how Peter was handling high-risk chemicals and technically, bioweapons, from the comfort of his small apartment that he had been living in close to the campus. You were using his apartment as the meet-up place during the day, so Tony couldn't see you working on the mission and for him to think that you were actually doing anything else that didn't involve work, or this work specifically.
Peter's apartment was a great place.
He had roommates until recently, which he greatly appreciated since he couldn't count the times his roommates had barely walked in on him wearing his suit; especially now that he had been working with this type of things in his kitchen and leaving secret files all over the living room. Although he mostly spent his time outside of this apartment (he went back to May's place, his room at Stark Tower, even at Gwen's apartment and mainly fighting crime).
Therefore, when you arrived it felt that somehow someone had barely lived there; Nonetheless, you were still able to catch some things that made it Peter's place, and in consequence your heart melt: you could see Uncle's Ben glasses together with Peter's old glasses on a small glass case you had gifted for him on the second birthday that he had spent with you, the Lego death star that he had built with Ned years ago and also there were many framed pictures. One with the Midtown gang at their graduation, one with Aunt May, another one with the Tony with his certification for the "internship", one with his parents when he was about five, and one with Gwen; but most importantly he had one with you just before your last night, before you went away.
Every time you arrived at that apartment; you couldn't help but flush a bit when you saw the picture. It had been taken with a film camera that belonged to MJ, you had been figuring out which was the best pizza place near their campus and MJ had decided to snap it as you were eating and laughing. You were covering your mouth, snickering at Peter who was taking a rather big slice of pizza at one place, cheese going everywhere. You were so close, eyes sparkling as you watched each other with big smiles; it was a heartwarming picture.
You smirked as you looked away from the photo. "First time I've heard you wanting Harley's help"
"I'm not" Peter replied fast as he showed you the different formulas for the antidotes that he had been working on through the hologram tech you had brought. "I just think that his minor on biochemistry could help us, especially if we plan to do some reverse engineering on that thing"
"I'll ask for his help don't worry" you replied with a smile as you playfully place your head on his shoulder as he leaned against his bed where you were already sitting.
Peter rolled his eyes as he watched you carefully reading the formulas he had been using while still leaning onto him. You had been working a lot the last few days and Peter couldn't avoid thinking that it somehow felt like before, which he couldn't tell either if it was good or bad. He had been struggling to sleep, his dreams being permeated with thoughts of your gleaming y/e/c eyes, the melody of your laugh, and your lips as you held tools with them or gave Peter a million watts smile.
His heart had been racing so much each time you even gave him the slightest touch, he felt every goosebump appearing on his skin as he gazed at you, sometimes you touched him out of habit or because you deemed it appropriate but the effect was the same, Peter felt ecstatic beyond belief and even slightly flustered.
"I think this formula is the best one but yeah, bringing Harley in could help" you suggested as you pointed at Peter the second formula he had developed. "You did great P, thank you"
