Small Stories (YBG!Peter x Reader)

Murder Case (Neutral Reader)

You are almost finished with your late night work shift, your boyfriend, Peter, already waiting by one of the tables in the diner for you. He sits there for almost two hours, but he doesn't seem to mind waiting so long for you at all. Peter was folding a few napkin swans in the meantime, even trying himself out on roses and other animals.

You sigh softly when almost every customer is gone, TK being the one in charge to lock up today and you can leave a few minutes earlier, since you finished most work already and sweeping the floor, TK is confident in themselves that they can do it alone. "Hey Y/n, look." You hum and look over to TK, who points up to the small tv the diner has near the counter.

The news reporting another dead body again, the third this month. The first body was found in a lake, with the person being tied up and having stones in their pockets, means someone drowned them on purpose and while they were stile conscious from the scratch marks left behind on the wrists. The second person was smashed with something against their head, breaking their skull and damaging the brain very badly. Their body parts were cut off and found in different locations. Now, the third person was abused badly, but got tied to a rock and ended up getting smashed against it with their own car.

All of these deaths were claimed horrible incidents, with the police saying people shouldn't walk alone at night anymore and keep something with them to protect themselves in case. Of course, not everyone is listening to these words of the police, but it can't be helped, especially when people have to work night shifts or need to work overtime.

"Jeez, another one? That's the third person this month already." TK says unwell, their face turning slightly pale.

"Yeah, it's really weird. This never happened before, especially here. This town isn't really known for any criminal records here, besides robbing a store once or twice in three months." You say unwell, hugging yourself.

TK hums and glance at you, shifting their eyes for a moment over to Peter, who is humming softly to himself with a calm smile while folding a rose, before they glance back at you. "Y/n um ... you want me to follow you two? If this murder attacks you both, wouldn't three people be better than just the two of you?"

You hum and think about the offer, but flinch when a hand suddenly gets laid from behind onto your shoulder. "Darling? Isn't your shift over now?" Peter smiles and points to the clock by the wall.

"O-Oh, yeah, you're right. Say, are you here with your van?" You ask thinking and Peter let out a soft hum, before shaking his head. "Then how about we drive with TK? They have their car here and could drop us off at my place." You suggest with a smile.

"Oh? Is that so..?" Peter mumbles and glance over to TK, who tense up when noticing the glare they gain from him. " ... But didn't you wanted to do more exercise, darling? Are you sure this isn't just an excuse to be lazy again?" Peter smiles, causing you to blush a rosy red.

"Th-That's not the reason, I just-"

"Then go change and let's go. Don't worry, if anyone shows up to hurt you, I'll protect you~." Peter purrs softly and kiss your cheek.

A darker shade of red grows on your cheeks, before you let out a huff. "Fine. But if anyone picks a fight, I'll try to protect you too." Peter chuckles amused and just nods with a smile. You pout a bit and walk into the kitchen, going to the changing room. 'I'm not that weak and this wasn't even an excuse to not walk home. I'm just worried for him.'

TK sighs, but flinch when Peter sends them another glare. They tense up when he smirks at them, leaning closer and whispering: "Don't be upset~. I'll keep them safe from this crazy killer~. But you also should keep an eye out~. Not that you end up as the fourth victim if you aren't careful enough~." TK's face went pale and they glance down to the counter, not wanting to see the sick, amused look Peter has on his face. They bite their bottom lip to hold back from saying anything.

"Honey, let's go before it gets even darker." You come out of the kitchen again, noticing the pale face from TK, while Peter smiles innocently at you. "TK, are you okay? Do you feel sick?" You ask worried and walk over to them.

TK flinch and hesitating opens their mouth. "Y..Yeah, I'm alright. See you tomorrow, Y/n." They smile at you again.

You hum and frown a bit, not believing them, but Peter gentle grabs your hand. "Let's go, darling." He smiles at you softly, distracting you a little from the worry.

"O-Oh um ... okay. But if you feel sick tomorrow, stay home. Be careful on your way home, TK." You wave softly with a smile, before walking with Peter out of the diner, squeezing his hand a bit with a happy smile.

"Don't worry darling, I'll protect you~." Peter purrs and raise your hand, kissing the back of it softly when he notice you squeezing his hand. You blush nervously and look away, nodding with a hum. He chuckles softly and smiles softly while looking at you, but you glance a bit around to make sure to run with him if anyone suspicious walks up to you two. " ... Darling, did anyone yell at you at work again?" Peter ask softly, looking worried at you.

"Ah um ... no, not really. There was a customer who tried to touch my ass all the time, but-"

"Do you remember how they looked like?" Peter ask calm, but you shake your head. He hums and seems to think about something, but flinch when you pull him a bit down and kiss his cheek, causing him to blush heavily.

"Don't worry, I avoided them after that. You're my boyfriend after all, so I'm sure you can help me getting rid of the germs~." You smirk teasing, but flinch when Peter pulls you into an alleyway. "Ah!" He push you quick against the wall and you blush heavily when he press his knee against your crotch.

"Don't worry darling~. I'll make sure you'll be all clean once I'm done with you~." Peter smirks and your face turns as red as a lobster, regretting you didn't waited with this until you were home. Peter leans down and kiss you deeply, pushing a hand under your sweater.

'I better check the security footage once Y/n falls asleep. After all ... someone touched what is mine again and I can't just ignore this~.' Peter smirks to himself, before letting his mind go back to you.

Looks like the news will report about another dead body soon.
