Peter Parker Imagines

Overseas

So I met this guy online.

We kind of hit it off. Keep in mind that this is through text message. He never knew the real me and I didn't know the real him except for exactly what we told each other.

After a while he told me he liked me and this being the first time for me, I said it back. Not that it wasn't true.

We started calling but without video and I fell in love with his voice. I didn't even realize I had grown dependent on talking with him until he told me he wasn't going to be around as much.

By that he meant, not going to be around at all for a while. Weeks at a time or even months, he said. This made me feel so dejected but I understood because of our time difference and he was human too.

He had things to do and so did I, and it made it hard to talk every day. Plus he said he had an internship he had to do.

Peter. Such a sweet name.

The name of my favorite character from when I was little, Peter Pan, my hero.

But this was Peter Parker. My real life savior that had gone away.

The silence kills me, I had gotten used to talking to him everyday for hours at a time. I think I'm becoming depressed. I even cried when he said goodbye.

I never was the person to cry about anything.

So here I sat staring at my phone. I had things to do and responsibilities waiting and weighing on me but I couldn't do anything. I just wanted to talk to him.

- can we call?

The message pops up and I practically jump at the sound. I stare at it and my screen eventually goes black. My throat suddenly feels dry and my body is heating up.

I hurriedly open my phone and stare at the text some more before sending my own one in response.

- is this real?

Would I have to wait long for him to answer? Did he really mean it?

-yes

Holy cow. I swallow hard and sit up straight on my bed.

-yes please

My fingers type for me before I can even process my response internally.
Then my screen changes to his picture and my heart skips a beat. I pick it up even though my hands are shaking.

I wait to hear him say

"Hello?" His familiar deep voice travels from however far away he actually is to my awaiting ears.

"Hi?" I say stupidly, it was the only reflex response.

"How are you?" I search his voice for the slightest hint of concern.

"Could be better..." I say, "Why did you come back?"

"I'm going to be honest. But there was this great temptation and urge to just talk to you. I... Missed you"

He can't possibly know how happy those words make me feel. That void in me fills up all of the sudden and my chest and body is emanating heat.

"I missed you too. So much... But Peter what about your internship and your work and everything?"

"I'll figure it out but you know what... My aunt just told me something recently about her and my uncle. They had to work for love and that's the only way it worked for so many years between them." He paused, "I want to work for our love. You are a priority for me. I didn't realize it until I didn't have you and I'm sorry for putting you through this. I hope you will take me back."

"...How could I not?" Was all that could come out. "I missed you so much..." I blurt out.

"I know I missed you too baby" Shivers go down my spine at the nickname.

"Peter... When am I going to meet you? I want to see you..." 

"Me too. I wish I was with you but you live so far away"

"We could try a video call. I mean I don't look that great right now but..." He laughs at my comment.

"We need to video call so that you can see me shaking my head. You look beautiful I'm sure." He boosts my confidence and my finger presses the video call button.

His face pops up on my screen, but it's no longer a motionless picture, his eyes are twinkling and he smiles. My heart literally beats out of my chest.

"See I told you, you are so beautiful." His voice is deep, dripping with honey.

"You're going to kill me Peter. You're trying to kill me. I'm going to blush so hard I'm going to explode." I say truthfully,holding my palms over my red cheeks.

He chuckles and the sound fills my chest with joy

"I can't believe I'm finally seeing my baby" He jumps around in joy and the camera shakes, making me giggle.

~~

Peter is the most incredible person I've ever not actually met in person. He is the most perfect person for me and I know one day I will meet him. So far we will continue our online relationship, which consists of talking until 5 am, jokes, movie watching, cartoons and lots of sappy sappy love comments. It's exactly what my lonely heart was looking for. 

Maybe I'm cringy but to me this is the most perfect time of my life.
