The Choice-Spider-Man homecoming fanfic

I wonder if anyone will remember,  Mj thought. It was her birthday. She really didn't expect anybody to know, but she had a small hope that at least Ned and Peter would. She finished brushing her hair and waited at the bus stop while reading an old book called "Dicey's Song." The bus finally pulled up and Mj took her regular seat behind Peter and Ned. "What up losers?" "Hi Mj, " Ned said almost looking sorry for her. "What is it?" she asked curiously. "Peter told me what happened." "That's over Ned. It really doesn't matter anymore, " Mj said even though she knew neither of them would ever believe her. Mj sat back and ignored the "I don't believe you" look Peter was giving her making her insides turn. Their first and second classes passed and it was lunch, but neither Peter nor Ned had mentioned anything about it. The rest of the school classes came and went, but nothing from Peter or Ned about Mj's birthday. It disappointed her a little, but she wasn't surprised none of them did. Ding! Mj looked down at her phone. It was Peter. He wanted her to come over to work on the assignment due this week that Mr. Harrington had given them last week. "Ok. Be there in 10," Mj wrote back. This wasn't exactly how she had imagined spending her birthday. Her parents were still out of time so she thought she'd spend her birthday snuggled up in a blanket sitting by the window reading a book or maybe she'd slip into a daydream about Peter as she usually did. Mj spun around and headed towards the Parker's house. She walked for around 12 minutes before finally reaching the door. She knocked, no answer. She knocked again, still no answer. Mj opened the door. All the lights were off and she couldn't see anything. "What kinda stunt you trying to pull, Loser?" Mj stepped inside and let the door close behind her. Then suddenly half the school jumped out and screamed "Happy Birthday!" as the lights came on, nearly giving her a heart attack. Mj fell back into someone who was standing in the corner. "Sorry, " she said as she turned around to see who she'd fallen into. It was Peter. "Oh, it's you Loser." Everyone at the party was watching them waiting for a reaction, (besides her almost having a heart attack). "What is this Loser? " she said slyly. Peter's whole face went red and he looked really nervous like Mj might explode any minute. Mj moved closer to him and narrowed her eyes just to irritate him. "Uh-um-I-I thought it w-would be a good idea to-um throw a party for you, b-because your parents aren't here and all, " he stumbled through his words. "Oh. That's cute, " Mj said. Peter now looked like he was gonna have a panic attack making Mj burst out laughing. "I'm kidding," she said throwing her arms around Peter's shoulders and giving him a tight hug. It took a minute for him to relax, but he willingly hugged her back. "Let's get this party started!" Ned yelled and immediately music started blasting loudly making the walls shake and the house busted into loud conversations and people failing to sing along to Katy Perry. Katy Perry wouldn't have been Mj's first music choice, but she had a feeling Ned was just trying to make everyone happy. A huge smile spread across Mj's face and she took Peter by the hand and dragged him into the kitchen where they could hear each other more clearly. Mj threw her backpack onto the floor and leaned against the counter. Peter started to look nervous again. "Wow Loser. Didn't know you could pull it off." Peter chuckled. "It's just a party Mj." "Yeah, but to me, it's not just a party. I've never had friends to host a party for me, but now..." "Are you finally admitting we're your friends?" Mj chuckled. "Yeah, I guess I am." Another smile spread across her face. After a minute or two, Peter offered his arm to Mj and asked, "You wanna dance?" while blushing furiously. "Why not?" Mj willingly took his hand and they went to the living room to dance. Surprisingly, Peter actually knew how to dance and was rather good.

1:00 a.m. finally came and people were still screaming and talking. Mj had too much punch and she had a feeling punch wasn't the only thing in her drink. "Come on," Mj said, once again dragging Peter away from the crowd. "You see that tall building?" Mj asked as they stepped outside. She was pointing toward the city, miles away. "Yeah?" Peter answered quirking an eyebrow. "Can you take me to the roof?" "Why?" "It's my birthday Loser. Just do it, " Mj protested. Peter took her by the waist and seconds later they were off the ground and the wind was whipping through her hair. Mj closed her eyes and tried to enjoy the moment as long as possible. Soon Peter landed on the roof of the building Mj had pointed to and he set her down. "Thanks, " she said. Mj ran to the edge of the roof and stopped before she would fall. "Mj, what are you doing?" Peter asked nervously. "By Loser, " Mj said jumping off the edge. Her heart skipped a beat, but before she was halfway to the ground she found herself in Peter's arms. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Peter yelled. Mj just kept laughing. Peter set her back down on the roof and ran his hand through his hair. "MJ?!" "It's fine Parker. I was testing you and I knew you'd catch me." "But what if I didn't?!" He yelled stilled running a hand through his hair. "I trust you, " she stated. Mj walked up to the edge of the roof. "No no! Not again!" Peter yelled running to her. "Don't worry Loser, I won't jump." Mj sat down and laid back letting her legs dangle off the edge as she looked up at the stars, her hands resting under her head. Soon Peter joined her and she closed her eyes feeling safe. "Peter, " she said, not opening her eyes, "Thanks for doing this." "No problem, " he answered with a smile. And they both fell asleep lying next to each other and feeling as content as life could be.
