Of Love and Lines (MCUxReader)

Five

Penelope POV

You'd finally submitted the last final for your winter classes. It had been a close call to meet all of the deadlines, Stark had somehow managed to get both you and Peter extensions on the assignments you'd completely missed. But it was done. The grade for the final was shared instantaneously as it had been an online test, one that required you to close yourself in your bedroom and video the space around you to prove you hadn't cheated. The ninety five percent that flashed across the screen made it all worth it though.

Now you could focus your last semester on clinicals and the one chemistry class you'd yet to take. Peter and you had planned it so that you could take the class together as it was a credit he also needed to complete his degree. Fucking gen eds. How the hell the two of you managed to miss one was beyond you. But having each other to go through what would surely be hell was a plus. Your advisor already had options ready for you to choose your clinical location. But you'd wait on that until another day. Your brain was fucking fried after being put into overdrive for seventy two hours straight.

Peter already had plans to chill with Ned tonight, some new Lego set they wanted to build.

Fucking nerds. You laughed to yourself.

The girls you'd befriended in your nursing program had plans to go out and celebrate the end of finals week. While the stress release was something you needed, you just couldn't bring yourself to tag along.

You flopped back onto your bed and dug your phone out of the mountain of pillows. Livi had texted at some point.

L- Text me when you get your scores. I'm dying to know.

P- I passed!

Her reply was instant, telling you that she really had been waiting around to hear. It brought a smile to your face.

L-Just passed??

P- I aced them. Duhh

L- I didn't expect anything less. You're amazing!

P- I know. (:

L- Plans tonight? You and Peter going out to celebrate? I'm assuming he aced his finals as well.

Peter had finished his last final early this morning, no surprise he got a hundred. He had brains as big as Stark's.

P- Of course he did! He's going over to Ned's place tonight.

L- What about you?

P- I don't know. I'm feeling a little burnt out. Might just stay in.

L- You know, there's a certain Captain that could also stand to get out.

P- What are you saying??

L- I'm saying, go for it! I gave him your number, did he reach out?

P- Yeah, actually he did. Thanks for that btw

L-What are big sister's for?

L- Soooo

P- Sooooo

L- Message him! Ask him out.

P- You really think it's a good idea?

L- Please. I've only ever seen him so smitten with Bucky.

P- Livi, no one says smitten.

L- Well I do.

You rolled your eyes. Of course she did. Your sister was the most innocent adult person you knew. Well, if you ignore her collection of romance novels. You'd made the mistake of peeking at a few of them once. That shit was written porn.
