A supertale Of New York

Part 10

As you ran away from the Garden, you heard Hyo shouting, and the sound of plant pots being knocked over. It almost sounded like they were in a fight, but you had been the only people in there, hadn't you? You got onto the subway, before doing anything else, you needed to be far away. You picked up your phone and called peter , but he didn't answer . Oh god. *peter I need you* you chanted internally. Then whilst you were leaving the fourth voicemail, you got a text , from peter. "My balcony. ten minutes. I love you, I'm here." Reading his words gave you a rush of adrenaline, and you ran to his apartment. As you came up the stairs , peter texted you, "the doors open, come to me, my love" you walked through peters empty apartment, until you made it to the metal door. 

You swung it open , and there he was, the love of your life. He shuffled around a bit so his face was in the light , and then you saw... "peter..." you started to choke, your adrenaline high had run out, and the emotion was catching up to you. Peters face and body were covered in cuts and bruises, and tears were streaming down his face "peter" you repeated and broke down into uncontrollable sobs. Peter didn't say anything to you, he simply held his arms out, and you ran into them . You both wept into each other's shoulders before peter whispered, "shhhhh baby, it's ok baby , I'm here now, you're safe." Neither of you knew what had happened to the other one, but you could tell that your man was hurting , badly. "I have to tell you something" peter pushed you away. Oh no, this is when he tells you this was all some sick prank, that he doesn't love you, that he never loved you, that he.... "I'm Spider-Man "

You didn't believe him, until you saw the suit. He was wearing the Spider-Man suit. It was torn and bloodied and had wet patches from your tears. "Peter" you said once again. "I followed you, I know it sounds bad but I wanted to make sure you were safe...... and when I saw you with Hyo......"

A tear fell down his cheek.

"My heart broke, and i couldn't watch, so I left . Then , I heard you screaming, and I realised what happened,... by the time I got there, you were running away, but I heard everything, and I wasn't there to stop it and I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry y/n" he burst out crying and fell to the floor in pain . suddenly everything clicked in your mind "Did you beat up Hyo ?" He looked up at you with a look you knew all too well. Regret. "Yeah , I did , I don't know what happened to me, this instinct just kicked in and I wanted to kill them , I wanted to destroy everything in my path, out of anger, you were hurting."

"Baby..." you whispered and ran back to peter. "You probably shouldn't have beaten them up as bad as you did, but I appreciate it, peter , i really do.....and.......I'm dating Spider-Man!" You chuckled . You felt peter smile through the tears , and you pulled him into your chest, and stroked his hair. You sat for about Ten minutes, and then the wind picked up and you felt peter shiver. "Let's go inside" you mumbled against his head, in between kisses. He nodded , and took your hand , you walked into his bedroom , and he started to undress, none of his injuries were very bad this time, so Dr hot stuff was not required tonight. Peter was just in his boxers, and he came and sat on the bed next to you. "As amazing as you look, do you want to borrow something more comfortable to wear?" He asked. You nodded. He got up again and grabbed you some sweat shorts and a t shirt. You were about to head to the bathroom to change , and then you remembered, peter was your boyfriend. You stripped to your underwear in peters room and put his clothes on. He had pretended not to look while you undressed, but he wasn't the best actor . Across the room, on peters bed, he had got underneath the covers , and was beckoning you over. You got in next to him , and wrapped yourself around each other. Peter was softly humming something , and you felt your eyes getting heavy. He buried his face in your hair and whispered "mine" . 

You were gently awoken by daylight hitting your face. Familiar arms were holding you close to a familiar body. Peter. You looked over to peters alarm clock: 07:43. Shit . School starts in less that an hour. You bold upright and wake peter with a start "Peter!, you were supposed to wake me up!" You start to gather your clothes from last night. "Y/n, you looked so peaceful sleeping, and I knew you needed to rest so I called you in sick. And I called your aunt, pretending to be a teacher, saying you went on a last minute trip. You can spend the day with me." You smiled so hard your face was numb afterwards. A day with your love. "And I went to the store while you were sleeping, and I got you a toothbrush and some pyjamas and stuff" he pointed to a chair with a pile of toiletries, stacked on top of some neatly folded clothes. 

This boy. "It's still really early, come back to bed" he said, yawning. You were in complete shock, had he really gone to all that trouble, just so you could spend the day with him? You got back in bed, and laid on peters chest. You closed your eyes and all the memories from last night came flooding back "OH MY GOD YOU'RE SPIDER-MAN!!!" You cried out, remembering what had happened on the balcony. "Yeah!" He chuckled, "that ok?" You were in bed with Spider-Man. "Of course that's ok!, it's more than ok! It's amazing!" Peter laughed harder at your reaction and hugged you really tightly "I love you , peter" your voice was muffled due to being squashed into peters chest. "I know". He sang. You could sense the smirk he had on his face. "Dickhead" you murmured , and peter snorted . "You are my world, my everything, y/n. I couldn't live without you, my love."

You both fell asleep, neither of you had ever been so happy before.

You woke up again, this time because peter was snoring right in your ear. You very carefully wriggled out from peters grasp, and took the pile of things from the chair , into the bathroom. When you came back out, Peter was still asleep. You tried to wake him up gently by kissing his ear, and whispering his name, but he just wriggled and turned away from you. You giggled thinking of all the ways you could awaken him, but then the apartment buzzer rang , and he sat up with a moan. "Hey" He slurred , rubbing his eyes. "I have to go get that" he got out of bed and answered the door, still in his boxers. You heard someone crying at the door, and then peter came back, sniggering a bit "what?" You asked him. "The neighbour's lost her cat again" he was still sniggering "why's that funny?" "She probably sat on him or something" peter giggled. "Peter!" You scolded him and threw a pillow in his direction. He threw it back and it hit you square in the face. "Oh fuck! I'm sorry y/n I didn't mean to throw it that hard!" He ran over to you and kissed your face repeatedly until you were dying of laughter. "Do you wanna go out for breakfast?, there's this really great waffle place on 12th" peter asked you excitedly . "Waffles are my favourite!" You exclaimed "great!" Peter agreed, and kissed you lovingly. "I'll go and put some clothes on" he laughed.

Once peter was ready , you left the apartment, and started to walk to the subway station. Peter had his arm around your shoulder, and you felt very protected. When you got on the train , a wave of anxiety hit you, and your face must have shown it, because peter pulled you close and whispered . "What happened last night, will never happen again, I promise, you are completely safe with me" you looked up at him and he had a concerned smile on his face . He really cared about you. You wrapped your arms around his waist and buried your face in his chest for the rest of the journey. He stroked your hair with one hand, and held onto the rail with the other. You felt a lot better once you were off the train, and held peters hand on the walk to the restaurant. You had the most amazing waffles, drenched in ice cream and chocolate sauce and whipped cream and covered in candy. Heaven. Peter laughed at all the noises you made while eating them. You only managed half the plate, the portions at this restaurant were huge and even you were struggling to breathe after that much food. "Sooooo.... what should we do today?" Peter asked while the waitress cleared your table. "I dunno...is there anything worth doing in New York?" You joked.

You decided on the zoo. It was quite a long journey from the restaurant, about 30 minutes on the subway. You managed to get a carriage to yourself, and you and peter happily ran up and down the train , swinging from poles and rails, until someone else got on the train, and you both sat down. You were looking out the window, and all the incredible buildings, when peter yawned and laid down on your lap "tired, baby?" You asked him . He just smiled at you. You played with his hair as you continued to watch the view. Peter was making little noises as you ran your fingers through his messy curls "Do you like that?" You teased, brushing his lips with your fingertip. He smiled and nodded and kissed your finger gently "you're putting me to sleep" he mumbled. "Sorry" You stopped touching him and folded your arms "Nooo, don't stop" he whined "it feels so good." He said sleepily. You carried on swirling your fingers in his hair , and stroking his jawline. And within a few minutes, he was snoring softly in your lap . You leant down and kissed his cheek, which had a cut on it from yesterday. "You are so amazing, Peter Parker, I love you with all my heart."
