I Hate Cats (Peter Parker x Reader)

You're Such a Cat-ch

I slowly open my eyes to a bright day in Queens. Groggily trying to piece together my whereabouts, I am immediately welcomed by a peacefully sleeping Peter.

Why am I in the same bed as Peter?

I glance at his clock, then continue to admire his angelic features.

He looks so calm... Pete you're such a cat-ch...

"Thanks, but why are you awake so early?" Peter opens one eye and gives a sluggish smirk.

"Um, do me a favor and forget you heard that.. and it's like 10 o'clock you dork!"  I give a mocking laugh and roll on my back.

Peter gives a deep sigh, "Still too early." He moves closer to me and drapes his arm around my torso. Though I wanted to stay like this forever, I abruptly sat up.

"Come on Pete, MJ and Ned are probably waiting for us." Instead of responding to your plea, Peter snuggled closer to my waist and pulled the covers over his head.

Peter dragged out my name, "Today is my only free day from the Stark Internship, can't we just enjoy it and sleep?" I sigh and crawled out of the bed, trying to pull Peter with me.

"Well we have to make the most of your day off then... And what do you eat? You're-so-freaking-heavy!" With every word I used all my might to yank (yoink) him from the bunk bed, but to no avail Peter didn't budge.

"I eat pizza, chips, and sandwiches, and if anything, you eat more than me. Last week during our Sub Showdown, you scarfed that down in less than 30 seconds!" Said Peter while his voice cracked, to which I gave a light chuckle.

The Sub Showdown was a monthly contest where myself, Peter, Ned, and Michelle compete against each other. We would go to Delmars, where we'd all get the largest sub, and see who can finish it first. The losers have to treat the winner to lunch at least twice, under our approved price limits, for the whole month, until the next showdown. This month, I won, and Peter, being a salty little butt-cheek, won't accept the fact.

"You shouldn't be surprised by this Pete. I'm obviously the strongest link of the gang."

"Not strong enough to get me out of this bed though." Peter laughs, which leads me to smacking him with a pillow... Repeatedly.

"Geez okay fine. I'll get up, I'm too awake now anyways." Peter sits on the edge of the bed facing me. He pulls my body to his and hugs my waist.

"What do want for breakfast?" Peter says with a groggy voice. I shrug my shoulders and pull him up, "Anything is fine with me, but if your going to make something, you have to get up."

Peter gives a long sigh and stands up. "Okay, I'll whip something up, but what can your kitten have?" He points to Spiderling, who is sleeping on a pile of Peter's clothes.

"I already brought food for Spiderling, but thank you though!" Peter gives a small no problem before leading me out of his room to the kitchen. He takes out some pans and starts to prepare everything.

"Rise and shine lovebirds!" I turn my head to see Michelle at the counter with a book in her hands. Ned strolls in from the couch area and laughs. Giving us a casual greeting, Ned sits at the counter. I stick my tongue out at both of them, to which Ned responds with a smirk. Ned types something on his phone and 'discreetly' shows it to Michelle. They both nod their head and abruptly stand up.

"Well, we need to go... Jacob's brother's friend's uncle's dog is sick." Ned exclaims. Michelle gives him a confused face before rolling her eyes and shrugging her shoulders.

"Who even is Jacob" Peter says unaware of the sneakiness. "Uhhh Batalon, bye!" Michelle says while gathering her things, hugging me, then runs out the door, with Ned in tow.

After 20 seconds of complete confusion, Peter moves very close to me and has the audacity to say, "It's just the two of us now." with a wink. I playfully slap his arm while he laughs.

How does he go from a cute nerd to a Casanova?

He ruffles my hair before continuing to make breakfast. I lean against the counter opposite to where he is at, admiring him and completely lost in my thoughts. After a moment, Peter looks back at me and gives a sly smile.

"I know my butt looks fantastic in these sweatpants, but I'd appreciate it if you'd get the milk from the fridge." My face feels warmer and I grab the milk from the fridge. I set it on the counter within his easy reach and stand next to him leaning on the counter.

"I wasn't staring at your butt... I'm just very hungry." He gives a chuckle.

"Well breakfast is almost ready, can you get some plates from that cabinet over there?" He points to the cabinet and I hand him the plates. He flawlessly plated the food, then we sat at the table.

"So um... how did we end up in the same bed?" I say with a bit of hesitation in my voice.

The once suave boy in front of me turned into a blushing mess. "Uh-well-I... When the movie ended, you um fell asleep and I c-carried you to my-uh-bed. And you pulled me into the bed, a-and you have such strong grip-so I-um- decided to just stay there." He looks down at his breakfast with embarrassment, "I made sure to sleep at a, hopefully, respectful distance." Peter stuffs his face with the food, in hope that he would shut up.

"I'm sorry to put you in that position Pete. I shouldn't have intruded. And thank you for respecting my space." I gave him a smile and hoped that my apology was sufficient.

He scratches the back of his neck, "Oh you didn't put me through anything, and no problem. You deserve to be treated with respect."

Oml he's so perfect my heart is swooning

I reply with a small thank you then we finish eating in a comfortable silence. We make our way to Peter's room. Peter sits on his desk chair, while I sit on his bed. We talk for a while about school and family. I receive a text and it turns out to be my parent, needing me home by a certain time. "My parent just texted me, I have to go."

Peter's face gives a small frown. "Okay, thanks for coming though." I give him a smile and grab my things. I pick up Spiderling and Peter leads me to the door.
Right before I leave, Peter stops me, "Hey... is there anyway we could hang out sometime?" I readjust my bag and nod vigorously.

"Yeah Pete, I'd love to! I don't have any plans for the next few weeks so just text me!" We day our goodbyes and I leave the apartment complex, making my way home

Author's note: Thanks for reading this fanfic, I hope you enjoyed it. It would be greatly appreciated if you can critique my writing and make suggestions. I like to write so I may improve and entertain. I am a high school student and it's hard to update regularly (sorry to all those who've read this months ago and just received the update). I will try my best. This part took a few weeks because I am trying to increase the word count and give you quality content. I will try to write longer parts, and edit well. If you want me to take out the inner monologue I will do so, most fics are better that way, and I'll try to do very little author's notes! Thank you for reading and I appreciate those who criticized my work:)
(Also I just wanted to say that I made this part really touchy/fluffy/borderline smut cause I originally wanted Peter and you to have known each other longer. I actually wanted to make it seem like you were friends longer and I completely forgot that I introduce y'all as lowkey strangers. I will continue to write it like you two were long time friends and try to make that a bit subtle. If I have to, I might change the POV during this, but I will give you a heads up at the beginning.)
