Grace woke up to Peter whispering in her ear. "Good morning, beautiful."

She could get used to this.

She opened her eyes, smiling at her adorable boyfriend next to her. Grace's hands ruffled through his fluffy hair as she yawned and sat up in the bed.

"Already leaving?" Peter asked.

"I mean I don't have to. What did you want to do today?" Grace asked.

Peter suddenly smirked, getting up, his hands brushing against his Spider-Man suit. He had an idea.

"What is it, Peter?"

"How would you like to go webslinging?"

"I already kinda did. Remember when that Elemental attacked in Prague?"

"Yeah, but for real this time. And without a lava monster chasing you."

Grace remembered how it felt to practically fly in the air in Peter's arms. It was a bit exciting, but it was honestly terrifying.

"It's really scary, Peter I-"

As soon as she turned around, Peter was already halfway into his Spider-Man suit. The bottom half was already on. Similar to the scene in the Prague hotel, Peter was pulling the top half up, but Grace could currently seeing his abs.

"Stop doing that," she mumbled, blushing.

"You like it," he replied.

"Go back to being awkward, Peter," Grace joked.

The suit was fully on, and Peter extended his hand. "Come on, it will be fun," he insisted with a big smile.

Grace was still skeptical, but she wanted to please Peter. If he was brave everyday, she could be brave just this once. Maybe he was right; it would be more enjoyable without an Elemental trying to kill you.

Grace took his hand as he put his superhero mask on with his other hand. Grace opened the window to his apartment, as he helped her climb out.

New York City was below her. She saw the busy streets and skyscrapers, knowing she would be flying above them in just a minute.

"Are you ready?" he asked. "I mean you don't have to do it if you really don't want to, Gracie."

"I'm ready, Peter."

She closed her eyes, burrowing herself into his arms, holding onto him so tightly. Grace didn't want to risk falling at all.

Suddenly, she felt herself lift into the air. Everything was fast and like a blur. Grace let out a small scream.

She opened her eyes to see the city flying by belle her. It was cool, but this was insane. She was so high in the air.

Grace watched Peter attach his web from building to building, launching them wherever he put his webs.

"Ah! Why did I do this?!" Grace yelled.

"Gracie, it's alright! Aren't you having fun?"

"No! No I'm not!"

Grace was sure that she never held onto someone this tight before. She was suddenly scared of heights. The people walking below her seemed so small.

Her long hair was blowing everywhere in the wind, blocking her view of the city.

"I think we need to go back down!"

Peter must have honored her request, because Grace felt herself rapidly moving closer to the ground.

She touched the ground, suddenly feeling so thankful for being able to stand on the ground once again.

Grace opened her eyes, seeing Peter laughing at her for burying herself so far into his chest. Grace collected herself, separating from Peter and doing her best to fix her hair.

"What did you think?" Peter asked.

"That was terrifying. I don't think I want to do that again," she said with a nervous laugh.
