He falls asleep during conversations.

"Peter."

The white man flinched, his eyes widening as a sudden smile creaked on his face.

Peter sat with his head on top of his folded arms, slouching to lean against the library desk. Across from him sat you, the light of his life despite the irritated scowl on your lips.

"Were you even listening Parker?" Uh oh, you were using his last name, which suggested he made a mistake.

He wouldn't have taken the warning seriously if he hadn't loved hearing his name slip from your lips or seeing you roll your eyes. as well as watching you bring the pen you were holding to your lips, the gesture caused him to reposition himself in his chair.

"Of course, I was listening, I would pay just to hear you talk all day if it might I could hear you say my name like that again."

He's gotta search the street when he's on vacation.

He couldn't get rid of the nervousness that made his ears ring or the way he fidgeted in place while holding your hand.

You assumed his nervous state was due to the new environment, the vacation being a gift that you both worked for, and given how recently anxious Peter had been working at the newspaper.

You wanted to do something to take his mind off his overly cluttered schedule. Something that brought you two back together again, missing the times when you two would just mess around in each other's company.

You planned the trip without telling him, assuming it wouldn't be too difficult to travel from New York to Florida for weeks.

He had worked hard enough to be able to take some time off, so you called ahead of time to ensure that he could use some of his vacation time without his knowledge.

You thought spending time together in the hot weather would be a good idea, but Peter couldn't seem to get his mind off whatever was bothering him the entire time. You sighed as you noticed him lost in thought again, clutching the ring box in your pocket.

maybe now wasn't the best time...

And all I do is sit and think about you

Peter couldn't pull it off. That man was struggling to balance his two lives, being Spiderman and your boyfriend, and he noticed how distant you two were from each other.

You were also the one to come to him for something or reach out when it came to your relationship, which he appreciated because he didn't have to give his full attention knowing that you'd always be there when he was done doing what he needed as Spiderman.

But he could tell you were giving up on him recently; he knew you were tired of putting in your all just to spend time with him before he would stumble into his apartment sore and tired.

Or simply stopped him when he made excuses for standing you up on dates you reminded him of weeks in advance.

You were slipping away, unaware that even when he was away fighting bad guys in his secret life, he was still too distracted to do his job with you and as Spiderman properly.
