Peter and Beth had finally made it back into the comfort of her hotel room. No words were spoken as Beth reluctantly let go of Peter's hand.

Quickly, she padded into Peter and Ned's shared room. Grabbing Peter's folded pajamas off his bed she made her way back into her room. Exhaustion already crawling through her bones. Her eyes begging to shut. 

Beth had flopped down onto the queen-sized bed. Peter rushing off into the bathroom to change. When Peter emerged from the bathroom, tucking away his suit in her luggage, Beth had already nestled herself under the covers.

A shadow of a smile lingered on her face. Her eyes shut, letting herself rest. Peter's heart fluttered as he stared at her. Shuffling over to the bed, he tucked himself under the blanket next to her. 

Beth's body gravitating towards him. Her head coming to rest on his chest as a heavy sigh left her lips. Peter could feel her shoulders become less tense. 

He smiled to himself— his hand coming to brush through her hair. "We still have to talk," Beth only held him tighter. After a moment, "I know, but later. Let's just forget everything right now." 

Peter was happy to oblige her. Wrapping his arms around her small frame. His body curling towards her's. And when Peter shut his eyes, everything washed away. 

There was no elemental monster threat. There was no argument that needed resolving. 

It was just Peter Parker and Bethany Stark.

That morning, Peter snuck out of Beth's room. Though they practically lived together only MJ and Ned knew that. Beth awoke to feel more well-rested than she's been in a long time. 

She could hear the bustling of her class in the hallway. Everyone was preparing to go to their next stop on their trip. 

Beth made it her mission to talk to MJ today. To somehow explain the things she might've overheard. Taking hold of the handle of her bag she made her way to the lobby. As she made her way towards the door of the hotel, Peter walked through the doors. 

"I was about to see if you were ready to go," he bent down— pressing a kiss onto her lips. He matched her pace as they walked out into the fresh air. Their class was gathered outside, Beth frowned as MJ pushed past them. Peter noticed the drop in her mood, rubbing her shoulder comfortingly. "She'll come around." Beth let out a long sigh, nodding her head.

Beth broke away from Peter— making her way towards MJ. She was stopped when Brad walked up beside her. She smiled in greeting, "Hey, Brad." The tall boy smiled at her, "Hey, I just wanted to see if you were okay." He paused, "you know, after what happened yesterday."
