Guardians of my Heart (xReader)

Chapter 26

Monday. Last week of school.

I am kind of sad. I actually like school. Sometimes. It's cool that i got to learn stuff about earth but I also learned so much useless stuff.

Why would you need to be able to write a stupid essay about a book no sane person would even think about reading?

I walk into the kitchen and make myself some breakfast.

"Good morning, lady y/n. I hope you are prepared for another day of mortal education." Thor greets me.

"Morning, Thor. Peter said the last week of school is usually boring and uneventful. I'm as ready as I can be." I reply and take a bite of my sandwich.

"I would have been honoured to take you to Asgard one day. It was never boring and uneventful." Thor looks kind of sad when thinking about his destroyed home.

"I would've loved that. I'm sure it was beautiful."

"It was..."

The silence is kind of awkward until Peter comes in.

"Morning, y/n and Mr. Thor sir!" Peter says and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning, spider child." Thor smiles at Peter.

"It's Spiderman..." He mumbles and I chuckle.

"Let's go." I shove the last piece of my sandwich into my mouth, grab my bag and pull Peter into the elevator.

We reach the school and go to our lockers.
I'm pulling out some books when I see her.

"I'll be right back." I tell Peter and he watches me leave with a worried expression plastered on his face.

There she is. Laughing like nothing happened.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" I ask her.

"About what?" Liz asks in a fake nice voice.

Some people are watching us. I guess everyone knows what happened at her party.

"You know, Liz, I thought you weren't as desperate as that. Kissing someone's boyfriend? You're pathetic." I snap at her and people go silent around us.

She looks a little worried for a second but then her face goes back to her usual bitchy expression.

"I didn't do anything he didn't want me to. It's not my fault your boyfriend's not as loyal as he claims to be."

I step a little closer to her so only Liz can hear my next words.

"Watch it, princess. Don't you know what happened to Flash when he stepped out of line?"

She gulps.

"People would know it was you if anything happened to me. You wouldn't get away with it." She whispers.

I smirk. How oblivious she is.

"Believe me, no one would be able to find me. I'll be long gone before you could even call the police."

I'm not actually planning on hurting her. But it's fun to make her scared of me. I don't care about my reputation anymore. I'll be away from earth soon anyway.

"You're crazy." She says before turning around and going to class.

People turn back to their own things.

I feel Peters hands on my shoulders and turn around to face him.

He heard what I said. I can see it in his eyes.

"Are you angry at me?" I ask quietly.

Peter pulls me into a hug and rests his chin on my head.

"No. I'm proud to be the boyfriend of such a strong, beautiful, amaz-"

"Oh, stop you idiot." I giggle and push him playfully.

He grins and kisses me.

We sit in the cafeteria with Ned and MJ. They both seem glad Peter and I fixed things and everything is normal again.

"Does anyone know what happened to Flash?" MJ asks pointing in his direction.

His nose is broken and he has a bruised eye. That's on me.

I look at Peter to make sure he won't say anything. He gives me a small smile signaling he won't.

"I heard some rumours about him getting beat up at Liz's party. Someone said they found him covered in his own blood. He wouldn't say who did this to him." Ned says.

"I don't blame whoever did this. He deserved it." MJ states and continues reading her book.

"He definitely did." I mumble and take a bite of my sandwich.

"So y/n... Are you going to throw a farewell party?" Ned asks.

"No. I don't have that many friends to throw a party. But we can hang out together and have like a small 'party'. Just us four."

"Lame." MJ mumbles.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to." I reply but I know she didn't mean it. I got used to her rude comments and realised she actually cares much more than she lets people believe.

"I'll think about it." She finally says.

Peter and I go back to the avengers tower and sit in my room.

I'm doing homework while Peter is on his phone.

"Why are you even still doing your homework?" He asks.

"Because... if I wouldn't it would actually feel like I'm leaving soon. And if I still do it it feels like always. Normal."

It makes me sad thinking about it. I obviously want to see my family again and I even miss the galaxy and the fighting. But at the same time I don't want to leave everyone behind. Peter, Loki, Bucky, Tony, Steve... They all grew on me. And although I am going back to my family it feels as if I am leaving part of my family behind as well.

I don't even notice I start crying until Peter wipes away a tear.

"Hey... it's going to be fine." He tries to calm me down.

I force myself to smile.

"I'll come back as soon as possible. I promise. And I want you to move on with your life. Be happy. Find new love. But... I'm selfish and that's why I ask you to wait for me?"

He grins.

"Of course I'll wait for you, dumbass. I don't want to live my life without you in it. Even if it means having to wait a long time to finally see you again."

I put my homework away and lay down next to him.

Peter wraps his arms around me and pulls me closer. His warmth makes me feel safe and calm.

"I love you."
