The adorable Spider-Man (who is misunderstood by everyone)

13 - Peters Job

Peter was on his way to work, thankfully not running too late. It was hard to convince Pietro not to come with him, but with Wandas and Lokis help he managed.

He could feel some passengers staring at him. It was probably because of how nice Wanda and Loki made him look, but he didn't really like the attention. Of course, as Spider-Man he couldn't really do anything about it, but as Peter Parker he didn't normally get this much attention, except when he was singing in front of an audience.

And that's what he had to do now. Get in front of the audience, otherwise known as the visitors of the cafe or restaurant, and sing. He knew that at least the regulars were pretty nice, but sometimes there were visitors who complained at the noise of his voice.

Normally people said that his voice was nice or beautiful, but people like that were the reason why he was so insecure about it.

When he got to the cafe he set foot into the back and was immediately swarmed by his employer.

There were two owners of the cafe. Mr. and Mrs. Green. They were an older, really nice pair. Mr. Green was a bit grumpy, but he was always nice to Peter and made sure that he ate and got enough money for his work.

Mrs. Green was a bit irresponsible when it came to spending money or management generally, so he was told that she shouldn't be let near the money or counter. She was the one responsible for the food and that everyone was comfortable in the cafe.

The two were the perfect pair. Both when working and as lovers.

Mrs. Green also liked making a fuss over Peter and the other younger employees. She couldn't have children, so she cared about them like they were her own.

"Peter! Good, you made it on time. We need a little help before your performance. Wow, you look really nice today. Did you go somewhere? Did you want to impress a girl?"

"Mrs. Green, nice to see you too. I met up with some friends and we had some kind of wellness day. What did you say you need help with?"

Mrs. Green started smiling even more and shaking her head.

"Peter, Peter, always eager to work. It's nice that you're finally taking some time for yourself. If you need some time off, just tell me. Now that you have a phone it's even easier."

"Of course, Mrs. Green. But I wouldn't want to miss a performance here. It's always nice to see the comfortable and relaxed faces of our customers. Should I help at the counter or as a waiter?"

"I think Esmy needs some help taking and handing out orders. Go get a uniform and get to it. As always look out for any creeps. We don't want those here. And today you look especially cute, so be careful."

Peter just smiled reassuringly and nodded. He did what he was told and went to help his Coworker.

"Esmeralda, I'm here to help you now. Who wanted what and who hasn't told you their order yet?"

The older girl turned to his direction and started scowling.

„Peter! I told you to call me Esmy like all the others do. Esmeralda is way too long and you're my friend, so it should be fine."

She hugged him and told him what he needed to know.

"Ok, Esmy, I'll take these three tables and you can take care of the other two. Let's get to work!"

Peter put on his service smile and went to care for the two large groups and the regular who always came to watch his performance, but always came alone.

After hading out the orders who were already ready when he came to the larger of the two groups he took the orders of the other two tables. Everything went well at the larger table and he went to take the order of his regular.
