Fighting for you ~ Peter Parker and MJ

Green Goblin?

It had been a multiple hours since I had lost Peter in the city, as he was hopping into the scene of the fire. After he was gone, I just left for home since nobody else seemed to be available. Home kind of sucks, my dad doesn't really interact with me and my mom that much, only if he wants to criticize us for something or if he wants another beer. I've gotten used to it, it doesn't get to me as much anymore.
"Hey, you forgot to take out the garage ."
My dad was seated at the kitchen island when I left my room for the first time in hours. This could either go two ways, I could be nice about it and still get in trouble, or just not say anything and get into even more trouble. Today, I decided to take the easier route and be an angel.
"I know, Im sorry I'll do it right now. I went out this morning, so I just forgot."
"You tend to forget a lot."
This conversation was starting to get on my nerves, so I just ignored that comment and grabbed the garbage he was getting worked up about.
"Give her a break, Philip."
This drew my father off the edge.
"Give her a break? Why doesnt she give me a break from being absolutely useless."
Tears started stinging my eyes as I just looked down, not saying anything.
"Oh no, are you going to cry little girl? Im just telling you the truth, all you do in this household is make a mess. You better stop acting like some damsel or Im going to throw you out."
His words stung like venom, after that him and my mom were having their usual yelling match about this situation. I had enough, so I just put down the garbage and ran to my room, slamming the door. I could hear my father yelling after me.
"Mj?"
I turned around to see Peter Parker's on me, staring at me confused, and worried. I looked at him, still tears in my eyes for a few seconds before speaking up.
"Did you hear all of that?"
"I mean, yeah, well I dont know if all of it. But, a lot."
I let a big sigh and took a step forward from my door.
"Every family fights sometimes."
I looked at him, he obviously didn't know what to say but I know he was just trying to help.
"I don't hear you and May yelling like that."
"Well thats because my uncle isn't here anymore, they would go at it sometimes."
I sat down on my bed, with him following my actions. He looked at me, with a soft look of emotion and guilt.
"How come you didn't tell me about this?"
I gave him a small smile.
"I don't like to burden people with my problems."
He nodded and looked down, then put his hand on mine.
"I get that, but I'm here for you."
Thats when I realized he was in his suit still, with scuff and burn marks all over.
"So, what happened? You look beat up."
He took a deep breath, standing up preparing to tell the long story. As he talked, he paced around, moving his arms as he explained.
"It was so weird, when I went into the burning apartment I heard this scream, so I went over to it but it wasn't some lady. It was this guy in this weird costume. I kind of froze, I didn't know if he was actually in trouble or not. So I kind of backed up, and he left."
"What do you mean he just left?"
"He just flew off, on this weird hoverboard. I don't know what it was, I tried to find him for a few hours but I couldn't. So i went over to Harry's. His dad wasn't home so we just played basketball in the kitchen. I won by the way.
Peter let out a small smile with that remark.
"Well, i'm sure whatever it was the police will figure it out if it's bad."
"But that's the thing,"
He sat down next to me again.
"It's like he was waiting there for me, like he wanted me to be there."
I turned over to look at him, sometimes he forgot the circumstances spiderman was under sometimes.
"Peter, I get that what happened was weird to you, but you're kind of a wanted man right now. I think you need to wait until this whole spiderman situation has blown over."
"Yeah I know, I just don't know." he huffed out. He then looked at me, and rested his head on my shoulder. I smiled, these moments were my personal favourites. I rested mine on his.

Hey everyone :) It's the author here, I just want to remind you that this story takes place after Spiderman: Far from home. So everything before that movie has happened in this book. That's why i've decided to take ideas from the older spiderman series. I'm not sure at the moment how i'm going to work around the Mysterio exposing spiderman situation quite yet, so that's why it isn't really a canon part of the story so far, and why i'm not mentioning it often so far. We're only 3 chapters in anyways, so i'll come up with something. Anyways, thank you for reading and i'll see you in the next chapter :)
