Peter Parker- I Couldn't Be Prouder

You knock on the door to Peter’s place.  May answers the door and tells you that Peter is in his room.  You thank her and walk down the hall. You get to the door to his room, which was slightly open, and just as you were about to knock and walk in, you hear him talking.

“I don’t know, Ned,” he says.  You realize he is talking on the phone.  There is a pause before he talks again. “Yeah, (y/n) does seem happy, but... “ he sighed. “I dunno… she could do so much better.” You gasp quietly, and cover your mouth, shocked. “She deserves someone who isn’t constantly putting himself in danger.  Someone who’s going to be around when she needs him.  Not me.”

Tears sting your eyes as you listen to what Peter his saying. “She deserves so much better,” he finishes.  You wait a minute. He says goodbye to Ned. You knock on his door, a tear slipping down your face.

“Hey, sweetheart,” he says, like the whole conversation with Ned hadn’t even happened.  He couldn’t see your face because the room was only lit by one lamp. You didn’t answer, you just walk over to him slowly. “Baby, are you okay?” he asks, sounding concerned.  You don’t answer, you don’t even shake your head, you just walked over and held your arms out. He pulled you in, and held you against him. You rested you head on his chest as he ran his hand through your hair, soothingly.

“I love you,” you said. “You, and no one else.”

He stays silent for a moment. “Did you…” he finally says.  He doesn’t have to continue. You nod. He pulls you closer and takes a deep, shaky breath.  He begins to explain himself, but you stop him.

“You are incredible.  Don’t ever forget it. What you do is dangerous, and I hate you sometimes for doing it, but at the same time, I couldn’t be prouder,” you explain.  He rubs your back slowly.

“I love you so much,” he whispers.

“I love you, too.”
