All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 50

It isn't fair how hot they look when they work out, (y/n) and Peter thought simultaneously.

They were doing warm-ups like they do every time before they train. They had fallen into a smooth transition of trading stations after the other was done. Like most gyms (especially Tony's), there was a long mirror so someone could watch their form. It also helped make sneaking in glances a lot easier. (Y/n) used to watch Peter casually to make sure his form was correct, but ever since her sudden "revelation" about her feelings, she found herself staring at specific things, like his face or his arms, sometimes his ass, but the sight of Peter's back muscles flexing and relaxing was... eye-catching.

Peter did the same, a secret he would carry to his grave, but he just started to appreciate her physique in general. He couldn't help it, not when everything about her was near perfect. Though, he did find himself admiring her (f/b/p) just a little bit more often. Yet, he more so stole actual glances outside of the gym. Watching her fight on patrol, run in school, memorize her eyes as they talked, and everything else in everyday life. That's when he thought she looked most beautiful.

Man, I sound like that one guy from Aunt May's romance drama, he thought.

A small beep caught their attention, and they stopped what they were doing. That had been the last set of warm-ups. Now they had to fight the shit out of each other while ignoring how their bodies were in close contact.

Fantastic...

(Y/n) stared into Flash's eyes with the same amount of warmth that Siberia, Russia, possessed in winter. Her stare of steel chilled him to the bone, making her feel just a little bit excited but unable to show it. She'd waited months for a chance to put that arrogant boy in his place, and damn her if she ruined or wasted it. And, as luck would have it, she looked(in MJ's words) "bougie " due to one of Stark Industries' special business partners coming over for dinner that night- an added bonus.

Her classmates whooped and gasped around her in amazement as she and Flash were locked in an arm wrestle. She could feel his fist pushing against hers as hard as he could, on the verge of shaking. She looked back at the clock to Flash. Three minutes had passed by. A small pang of guilt grew within her. Leaning back in her chair casually and sighing, (y/n) held their fists still. Ignoring the quiet "ooo!"s from a few people, she spoke to Flash.

"Look, Flash, this was fun a couple of minutes ago, but now, I just feel bad. I did mean to embarrass you before, but I see now that it was... an error in judgment. So, I'm going to finish it. You are very strong, I can feel it. However, I'm stronger," she said.

(Y/n) slammed Flash's fist down to the desk, the cheers quickly dying down as curses flew out of the dark skinned boy's mouth. Behind him, she saw a guy handing over money to his friend.

"That being said," (Y/n) said, gaining everyone's attention again as she suddenly grabbed Flash's wrist and yanked him forward. The air was knocked out of his lungs as his torso collided with the desk. The atmosphere in the classroom stilled, and everyone felt chills run up their spine. "Please, for the love of God, don't run your mouth about things you don't understand. It gets annoying pretty fast," she said in a deep voice that contrasted her appearance.

"Please, Penis Parker isn't going anywhere. He lost the Stark Internship and only got it back because he probably begged some lowly manager because Tony Stark himself wouldn't concern himself with a teen from Midtown. Don't get me wrong, he's smart, but the farthest he'll get is the tech service department,"

The second she heard that, it made her blood boil. She had ignored a lot of offhand comments about Peter from Flash and his friends over the last months, but this one was different. It attacked him as a person. Peter was the most pugnacious, stubborn, and ambitious man she'd ever met, while caring about the people around him, as well as the closest to him. What Flash had said attacked Peter's person and was an outright lie. Peter would have done the same for her in the same situation.
