Peter's POV
'Okay Peter you've got this. Just uh.... Tell her how you feel? What else could go wrong? I mean she kissed me.... That's a good thing right? Oh what the hell.' I pace back and forth around the apartment, going out of my mind thinking of what I could say to Michelle. After all, this conversation could be the most important one in my life (minus the ones I've had with the Avengers and with May about.... Uncle Ben). I suddenly pass out over my anxiousness and fall into a dream state.
As moments pass, I wake up to a enormous white room. It looks like the Central Park Trains Station where Uncle Ben used to take me, "Hey sport." The unidentified man says to presumably me. I turn around quickly and see.... "Uncle Ben? How?!" I ask surprisingly ask. "Relax, this is just a dream." He reassures me. "But why am I here?" I ask due my lack of knowledge of dream state. "Because you fainted. You fainted due to your anxiousness over a girl. She's pretty by the way. You know Peter? I'm proud of you. Every day you make me prouder because you son, live up to my words 'with great power, comes great responsibility.' Now right this second, I want you to tell this girl how you feel because dammit, she's going to be the best thing that'll ever happen to you." He demands to me yet gives me the most heartwarming speech ever. I nod but moments after,"Hey kid."
'It can't be him...' "Mr Stark?!" I panickingly ask, "The one and only kid. Your Uncle is right. You make him proud, you make me proud but most of all. You need to be with this wonderful lady. She's going to be the Pepper to your Tony. Hold on scratch that, that came out entirely wrong." we all chuckle. "So you guys see my every move? Like you've seen everything I've done from the moment you died?" I curiously ask and they sequently nod and in unison, "Everyday kid, till next time. We love you Peter. Make us proud."
As I begin to disappear like I was snapped again, I soak in all of the praise and advice they've given me then BOOM! I wake up to a slap round the face by Michelle. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" I shout at her which I instantly regret. "OKAY 1) I WAS SCARED YOU WASN'T GOING TO WAKE UP AND 2) DON'T YOU EVER SHOUT AT ME AGAIN!" She retaliates, 'Damn Pete don't mess with Latinas.' Then suddenly, our lips collide from her ignition of the situation. I kiss back and she calmly says, "Can we talk now?"
"Absolutely.... But what's there to talk about?" I stupidly ask. "Everything, I have a lot to tell you, likewise with you telling me things right?" She counters to which I nod very slowly. "Can you start?... I've never done this before so I need you to lead the way if you uh.. Don't mind?" Michelle shyly asks me. "Okay, what do you want to know?"
"Well... We can start with how you feel... About me. And how long you've felt the way you may feel of course." She kindly replies. "Okay, you remember when Liz left and you was there for me when I was really down for the first week?" She nods to retaliate to my question, "Well after the first week, I had gotten over her. And those feelings... Had kinda transferred over to you.... So you could say if we're including the snap and the entire war, a good two years since Liz has been gone two and a half years. What about you?"
She smiles like I've never seen before, it's like the expression 'I've just hit the jackpot' or whatever that expression is. "Honestly? Since my first year in Midtown High, so that's like four years? Since I spent three years already in the state of California. So yeah has to be around then. I don't know why, I just felt positive vibes with you and you made me feel welcome, minus the fact that we never actually spoken properly till homecoming." I give a shocked look as to say 'what the fuck'."Okay, what do you want to do about us?"
She gives a moment to think about it, "I think you already know my answer." Grinning as she leans in kissing me again, I kiss her back more passionately but then my phone goes off again which really pissed Michelle off.
Ned: Hi Peter, just wanted to know if you took my apology into consideration. Ned.
"Good question, have we considered it?" Showing her the phone which she takes from me to initiate a reply.
Peter: Hi Ned it's MJ, we accept your apology. However, if you pull a stunt like that again. I will skin you alive from mouth to anus and possibly wear you as a trophy.
Ned: Okay Okay I get it. See you guys some point soon, hope you guys are having fun.
I laugh at Michelle's comment as it's a joke from a TV show we watch together called Brooklyn Nine Nine, "You honestly to scare him? If so, I think it did work." I chuckled. "Honestly yeah, he'll have to get used to it." She glanced at me to say 'You're all mine Parker.' "I'm all yours Michelle."
"I know, you always will be."
