Today was special. I mean things like this rarely happened. Between school, work, and patrol you hardly had any time off. But today was a different story.

You let out a huge sigh as you let yourself fall back onto the bed.

"Mood." you heard Peter say as he fell next to you.

"So what are we gonna do?" you ask.

"Well I mean we could watch a movie and then take a break to get food and come back and watch another." he says.

"Honestly that sounds perfect. I feel like we never get to do this." you say letting out another huff.

"Yeah, let's enjoy it while we can. Do you want to pick the first movie?" he asks.

"Sure, what'd you have?" you say getting excited.

"Well let's see..." he says and you both walk over to his drawers of movies.

You guys spend what seems like an eternity before finally deciding on Second Hand Lion.

You didn't really know what the movie was but when you saw Peter's face when he found it, you couldn't say no.

"Do you want to go make the popcorn while I set the movie up?" Peter asked, seeming to get more excited as the seconds passed.

"Sure thing! I'll be back in a couple minutes." you say and go to make the popcorn.

You stare at the microwave as it makes the popcorn. Listening to all the kernels pop you get caught off guard by a bunch of rustling come from Peter's room.

You take the popcorn out and put it in a bowl. You walk back to the room and see a bunch of pillows and blankets scattered on the ground.

"Peter?" you ask, not seeing him.

You set the popcorn down when you don't get a reply. Then all of a sudden you get smacked across the back.

"You did not just do that?" you said with a growing smile.

"Oh I think I did." he says smacking you again with a pillow.

"I thought we were supposed to be partners!" you say and fake a sniffle.

"There are no partners in this war!" he says.

"Oh I see." you say and slowly pick up a pillow by your feet.

"You're on, Spidey!" you yell and start your attack.

After smacking each other around with pillows you wind up falling on the ground.

"Please, kind sir, show me mercy!" you yell.

He just looks at you and then face plants into the pillows right next to you, "Well since you said please."

"Well we should get this movie started if we wanna go get food afterwards." he says and you look at the clock and nod.

You got the, somehow unspilled, popcorn and he turned on the movie.

Laying down you felt arms wrap around you and you leaned into them for warmth.

The movie was actually really good. It had some really funny parts but also turned out to be a pretty deep movie.

"Do we have to go get food!" you said, not wanting to leave the warmth.

All you heard was the growl of a stomach.

You look at him, "Well looks like I got my answer." you said a smile growing on your lips.

He smiles back and then gets up. He turns around and pulls you up alongside him.

"Well let's just go get something, we can take it back here. It shouldn't take too long." he says smiling back at you.

You put on your jacket and shoes and then head out the door, Peter following close behind.

You walk through the city and here sirens all around you. You turn and see how tense Peter is.

You slide your hand into his and say, "Hey don't worry they can take care of things for tonight."

He looks at you and nods with a sigh, holding your hand a little tighter. You continue on your way.

You make your way into a small deli that had been destroyed a little earlier this year. It had been rebuilt but you could tell they were still trying to fix the place up a bit.

"Hey, Peter. The usual?" the owner asks.

"Yeah we'll take two. The place is getting a lot better." he says looking around.

"Yeah we've been working pretty hard to get things up and running again." the owner says and hands you the food.

Peter pays and says a quick goodbye before both of you leave. You quickly make your way back to the apartment.

You make it back and see that May is home watching the news.

"Hey guys, how's your day off going?" she asked.

"It's great, Aunt May." Peter says going over to give her a hug before stopping.

We all turn our attention to the news as we hear about the hostage situation going on at one of the banks.

It looked pretty serious and you didn't think it was gonna go down to well if the cops kept at it the way they were.

You turned to look at Peter and see him staring right back at you.

"I guess the movie can wait." you say and then grab your suit from your bag.

At this point you always had it with you. Peter rushed off and got changed while you went to change in the bathroom.

No more than a minute and you two are both out and running for the door.

"Hey," May says quickly, "don't cause too much trouble."

You both shake your heads, say your good-byes, and leave.

You make your way to the bank and asses the situation. When you figured out a plan you set it into motion.

Jumping in to the grey you said, "Well there goes our day off, Spidey."
