Peter Parker fanfic

Kitty's POV

We arrived back at HQ before everyone else. We went up to the living room and started a fire in the fire place because it started snowing. We sat in front of it, both of us with our own blankets. I frowned when I looked at the space between Peter and I. I took a deep breath and moved closer to him, tucking my feet under me and resting my head on his shoulder. I felt his heart beat quicken

"um- k-kitty" Peter said. My heart beat quickened too, worried that I was being too forward

"yeah?" I said keeping my cool

"C-can I try something" he said cutely. I giggled and nodded. Then he took his arm and put it around me. I tried not to scream with happiness

We sat there watching the fire and talking about nothing, until I heard talking coming closer. I stood up, not wanting to be caught by my over-protective dad, cuddling Spider-Man

When the voices came into sight it turned out to Steve and Natascha

When Steve and I made eye contact he nodded for me come talk to him. We went to the other room, leaving Peter and Natascha

"Listen, I don't want you to be mad at your dad for what happened" he started. My blood began boiling

"a little too late for that" I shot back, crossing my arms

"Listen to me Katherine" I knew he was serious "he had a good reason. I talked to him"

"really, what was it?" I said with sass

"Young lady!" He said firmly

"Young lady!?" I repeated almost bursting into laughter

"Okay, okay" Steve sighed "Hydra has been lurking recently"

My mouth fell open

"He hasn't been putting you in because he's been trying to save you for when they make their move"

I nodded slowly, waiting for him to explain more

"He told me, he can't have you out there for the small fights, in case you get hurt because he needs you when we have to face Hydra"

I felt my fists clench, but not with anger, with determination. My heart warmed at the thought of my dad thinking that highly of me

"Okay" was all I said, giving Steve a smile

he smiled back and hugged me. We walked back to see Peter and Natascha talking, Peter was looking at her intently. I felt the teeny tiniest bubble of jealousy in my stomach. Let me be honest, Natascha is hot. She's every teenage boy's dream, so watching Peter talking to her one on one made me feel inferior. Then he looked over at me, and he smiled that goofy smile and looking into his warm brown eyes made that bubble dissolve

"Kit, are you gonna go talk to your dad?" Natascha asked

"Yeah I guess I probably should"

I hugged Peter from behind and whispered 'thanks for today' in his ear before running to the elevator

I went up to may dad's office and saw him on the phone. He put up one finger to tell me it'd just be a second. I went over to him and hugged him hearing him say "I have to go, I'll call back later" and putting his phone down to hug me back

"I'm guessing the Captain already talked to you?" he said, pulling away

"He did" I sighed

"listen Katherine, it's coming and it's coming soon. I need you working your hardest and most importantly I need you to trust me" he said sitting down with me at the couch

"I do trust you"

"That's my girl"
