Stark And The Spider

Redecorating (Voltage Part 2.5)

(Stark's P.O.V.)

I plop down on my beige couch, in my beige apartment.

"Thursday?"

"Yes?"

"Remind me to redecorate."

I pull out the napkin I used to scribble notes on. Studying the notes, I get lost in my thoughts as I play with my hair.

"I need to see the notes I already have," I say out loud.

"They're back in your safe, at the Avengers Facility."

I sigh. "Guess I gotta get up then," I groan.

"You could always take a break. Why don't you hang out with Peter? He lives nearby."

"But I really wanna get this done!" I whine. "I wanna be a superhero, Thursday! I want to be out there! Fighting crime! Saving the world!"

"I know you do, but there's no reason you can't just start tomorrow."

"I have school tomorrow!"

"After school then."

I sigh. "Fine. I'm going to go on a walk. Then I'll go see Peter, and as soon as we're done hanging out, then I'm going to finish this."

I stand up and throw on my coat and winter boots and head outside.

Once I exit my apartment. I start walking over to Peter's street, taking the long way so I have time to stretch my legs.

I inhale the cool, November air as I walk through the newly fallen snow. 

I get lost in my thoughts as someone bumps into my shoulder.

"Sorry! Oh, (Y/n)! Hi!"

I turn around to face Peter. "Oh! Hey, Pete!"

He tucks his hands in his coat pockets and smiles at me, tiny snowflakes falling in his hair. "What's up?"

"Nothing much. I was actually on my way to see you. Wanna head over to my place and hang out?" I ask.

He smiles brightly at me. "Sure!"

I smile. "C'mon then."

Together, we start to head back to my apartment.

"So, what do you wanna do?" He asks, looking over at me.

I think for a moment. "I'm not really sure. I was working on a project, but I decided to take a break."

"What was the project on?" He asks me.

I wink at him. "I can't tell you that, Pete. It's top secret."

"Oh really? You can't even tell me?" He makes a puppy face at me.

I look over at him, and it takes all of my self will not to cave. "That's not gonna work this time, Petey."

He huffs in mock-annoyance and grins. "Worth a shot."

"Anyway, what do you want to do when we get there?" I ask.

He slows his step slightly to think. "I don't know. Wanna watch a movie or something?"

"We could do that. We'd have to go to the store and buy one first though, because I don't have any there."

He looks over at me. "You don't have any movies?"

"Didn't unpack them yet," I lie.

He laughs, "(Y/n), you have got to be joking! It's November!"

"I know, I know." I laugh with him. "Hey! I actually have an idea!"
