Tom Holland imagines one shots

my lovely knight

You always have loved animals. When you were a kid you used to take care of abandoned cats or dogs that you found in the streets of NY. You healed them, you provided them water and food, you brought them animal shelters. To you every animal was sacred and you never dared to kill not even a bug because it would have broken your heart. One day when you were four your dad killed a spider in front of you and you began to cry, you were inconsolable. You even made a tiny coffin to bury properly this poor creature. Since that day your parents never dared to kill an animal in front of you.

You were now in high school and you decided to take biology class. You liked science, anatomy and animals. Plus you wished that one day you could work into an animal shelter as a vet thus taking this class was logical. You truly loved it and worked hard to get good grades. Actually you were the first of this class, you even had better grades than Peter, one of your closest friend and a science genius. During your free time you were also volunteering in the animal shelter of your district. The vet of the shelter really appreciated you and your devotion so she let you help her to heal some animals and you were rather proud of that. She told you multiple times that you would be an excellent vet. You only had to work on one thing: your sensibility. You couldn't stand animal suffering and that was very hard for you to see an animal in pain. Whenever an animal of the shelter would die because he was too old or was in a critic condition you would cry for days. You couldn't help yourself it was too much to handle.

You were sitting in the biology at your usual lab seat waiting for you teacher and daydreaming about the homecoming and hoping that a guy would invite you. honestly you hoped that Peter would invite you because you didn't really care about the other guys. They were nice but you didn't picture yourself dancing at the homecoming with Flash or Ned or Harry. When you heard Peter threw his backpack on the ground and sat next to you, you internally smiled. Having Peter as lab partner made you loved biology even more. You both talked a bit about your day when your teacher arrived. He said that today you would do something very special and it piqued your curiosity. He said that he had to take something in the other lab and he would be back soon, during his absence he asked you to clear your table and put on your lab coat. You were beyond excited because a lab coat meant that you would do an experiment.

When the teacher came back he had dead mice in a box. He gave one to each of you and explained that you would dissect them to learn about digestive system. You felt dizzy and you grabbed the table until your knuckles turned white. Peter noticed that you weren't in your usual mood and asked you if you were fine, if you needed something. You quickly replied that you were alright and tried to smile to not worry him. the teacher explained to you how to properly dissect your mouse. You didn't really pay attention because you felt unsteady. As your teacher told you to begin the dissection you didn't dare to take the scalpel. The body of this poor mouse made you sick, she lived and died only to be dissected by students, that was so unfair. Peter was carefully dissecting his and you just wanted to vomit. you eventually grabbed your scalpel and convinced yourself that it was okay. As you approached the scalpel from the dead body your head was even more dizzier. You felt two strong arms around you as you felt yourself blacked out.

When you woke up you were in a bed, you turned your head to see someone in a chair next to you, a familiar face, Peter. when he noticed that you were awaken his eyes sparkled. Your mouth was dry and you grabbed the glass of water on the table next to your bed and took a gulp of it.

_ What happened Peter and don't remember clearly what happened? You asked, your voice was still a mumble. Peter brushed some of your hair behind your ear.

_ when your scalpel touched the mouse you basically fainted. I knew you felt sick and guilty because of this dissection but I didn't imagine that you would faint. However you were very pale when you looked at me and I understood that you weren't feeling well. I just had time to put my arms around you before you fainted.

You flushed at the idea of Peter's arms around you. he remained silent for a while before biting his lips, which made your heart pound against your chest, and eventually said hesitantly:

_ you... You looked like a princess when you fainted, actually you always looked like a princess. Your cheeks were burning.

_ If I am a princess then you are my knight in a shining armor.

You chuckled trying to act cool, you looked Peter in the eyes and saw that he was certainly even redder than you if it was possible.

_ When a knight saves his princess, he used to have a good reward. You continued avoiding Peter's gaze. So what is your wish?

Peter's eyes grew so wide and he stuttered few unintelligible words. He played with his sleeves. After few seconds he took a deep breath and gathered his courage to say:

_ Will you go to the Homecoming with me?

You couldn't believe it that was so unreal. Your dream was becoming true that couldn't be possible. When you realized that it was really happening and not in your mind you exclaimed with the happiest smile you ever had:

_ Yeah definitely Peter, it would be a real pleasure!!!! Actually that would be a dream like in a fairytale where you would play my lovely knight. You giggled as you noticed a big grin in Peter's face.
