The living room was quiet, the soft hum of the baby monitor is the only sound filling the air as you and Peter tiptoed out of your kids' room. Ben had finally fallen asleep after demanding one more bedtime story, while little Mayday had been out cold for at least twenty minutes.

You let out a deep breath, exchanging a knowing look with Peter, both of you silently celebrating your victory in getting both kids to bed.

"That was a battle," Peter whispered, grinning as he wrapped his arm around your shoulders, pulling you close. "But now... it's time for the real fun."

You chuckled, leaning into him as you both headed towards the kitchen. "I thought they'd never sleep," you teased, already grabbing the tub of ice cream from the freezer. "Good thing we've got Mario Kart and ice cream to reward us for surviving another night."

Peter laughed softly, grabbing two spoons. "I've been waiting for this all day. You know you don't stand a chance against me in Mario Kart, right?"

You shot him a playful look, scooping the ice cream into bowls. "Oh, please. I let you win last time. Tonight, I'm taking the crown."

"You let me win?" Peter raised an eyebrow as he followed you into the living room. "I think you just can't handle losing to me."

"Watch me," you challenged, setting the bowls down on the coffee table as you grabbed the controllers.

Settling onto the couch beside him, you started up the game. The familiar, cheery music of Mario Kart filled the room, a stark contrast to the peaceful quiet of the night.

The first race began, and you were immediately lost in the game, both of you laughing, teasing, and occasionally tossing a playful elbow when the other tried to get ahead.

"You're cheating!" You shouted with a laugh, barely dodging one of Peter's shells.

"Hey, it's called strategy!" Peter grinned, eyes glued to the screen as he zoomed past you.

A few rounds in, you finally threw your hands up, dramatically slumping back into the couch. "Okay, okay! You win this one. But I'll get you next time, Parker."

Peter smirked, setting his controller down as he turned to face you. "Next time, huh? I'll be ready."

You leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to his lips, enjoying the rare moment of calm after a long day with the kids. "You're lucky I love you," you murmured, resting your head on his shoulder.

Peter chuckled, pulling you closer. "I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

As the two of you sat there, ice cream melting and controllers forgotten, you both relished in the quiet, knowing that moments like these were precious. Just the two of you, no Spider-Man duties, no kids-just some ice cream, a little Mario Kart, and a whole lot of love.
