Imagines

Peter Parker pt.2

"Wow." I say softly as I do a 360. The sun is shining beautifully in orange light kissing the walls of the many buildings that are standing on the sides of the streets. The water is splashing in the channels as gondolas are swimming on it couples admiring the beautiful city.
My sketchbook is in my hands as I try to sketch down all the impressions and I even got a small band of three Italians one playing the violin, an accordion and one man singing.
The group of my classmates is somewhere at the back but Flash was getting on my nerves.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Someone says softly beside me and I jump in surprise looking up at Peter. I process his words and nod slowly a little smile on my lips.
"It is. Every time I go on vacation or visit another country it just doesn't feel real you know?" I ask him and I look from the streets up to him, to see that his eyes are already trained on me.
"Yeah I know the feeling. Listen I wanted to talk to you about something." He says getting all flustered and I step in front of him to look at him better.
"Go on."

"Since the last homecoming..wait no I need to say it different. I wanted to ask you something before homecoming but I couldn't because I had so much to do with the Stark internship and Flash was being annoying as always not letting me speak- that's why I'm happy that he's not here right now-"

"Parker take a deep breath." I tell him grabbing his hand because he looks like a red tomato right now. He follows my advice and takes a deep breath.
"Now tell me what you wanted to talk about." I say and give him a small smile. His brown eyes shine down at me and for the first time I see the golden specks in them that reflect when he's staying in the sun. My cheeks heat up and I let go of his hand in embarrassment.
"I wanted to say that I really-"

"Hey Penis Parker did you ask Ruby to marry you yet?" Flash slaps his hand on Peters back who winces and steps forward crushing into me. I let out a shriek as my sketchbook drops down and knocks a ring from my finger.
"No!" I yell as I sprint after my ring which is rolling down the streets happily not giving a damn fuck about me.
I'm almost close enough but my lungs start to burn and I trip over a stone making me fall to my knees and watch the ring drift off the edge and plop right into the water of the channels.
"Fuck." I whisper and crawl closer to the water but there is no chance that I'm going to get my ring back in any way.
Sadness gets replaced by hot anger and I turn around and stand up sprinting towards Flash.
"You are so dead Thompson this was from by grandma." I yell and a scared look makes it's way onto his face but just before I reach him hands wrap around my waist and hold me back.
"What are you doing Parker let me give this little shit what he deserves." I say trying to remove his arms and kick my legs but he's too strong.
"It wont bring your ring back Ruby."

"No but I would be satisfied to hear the cracking noise of his nose." At my words Flash finally scurries off towards our group and Peter let's go of me. I turn around sourly and push my shirt back down.
"You didn't need to do that." I say and he shakes his head laughing.
"Did you ever look at your face when you're angry it's terrifying." My brows raise in surprise at his words and I let a small smile slip.

Before I can say something the ground underneath us starts to tremble and we look at each other confused. Peters eyes focus on something behind me and I turn around to see the water build up high into some kind of creature making my eyes go wide.
"Go Ruby, run!" Peter yells at me and grabs my hand as he starts running behind me.
"Holy Fuck!" I scream as we run through the crowds of people who are all running around or calling for their loved ones.
I see Mr. Harrington call out for us in front of our hotel and I start to run even faster.
A woman crashes into me from the side making me stumble and I feel Peters hand slip out of mine making me turn around anxiously.
"Peter!" I yell standing on my toes to see him but it seems like he vanished into air.

"Ruby what are you doing get inside now!" Mr. Harrington grabs my shoulder and pushes me inside the hotel halls.
"No Mr. Warrington Peter is still outside, I lost him in the crowd I.." I try to tell him worried but it seems like he doesn't listen to me.
"You all need to be safe inside you are my responsibility! We are going to search for Peter afterwards." My eyes widen at his words in anger.
"Afterwards? What if he gets hurt." I say taking a step forwards but Michelle stops me putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Hey why don't I bring you to your room? Peter is going to show up." She says and I nod and let out a small huff because I can't believe that they're just letting him run around all alone.
I walk with Michelle towards my room and when she leaves I try to grab for my sketchbook but I notice that I left it on the ground after Flash pushes Peter.
"Oh my god I'm going to cry." I groan and let myself fall onto my back.
I do the action before my brain can even process it and want to twist the ring on my finger but I'm met with empty space.
Please don't cry Ruby not now.

My eyes start to burn but before I can let the tears escape a knock at my door makes me sit up.
I slowly drag myself to the door and open the door.
"Hey." A high pitched voice says and I instantly look up.
Just right in front of me Peter stands soaking wet, curls presses to his forehead a sheepish look on his face.
"Holy hell Peter!" I exclaim and throw myself into his arms.
I don't care if I get soaked in this moment because I'm too relieved that he's not hurt. I back away and hit his chest.
"Ow. What was that for?"

"You scared me so much why did you let go of my hand?"

"Sorry I kinda lost you in the crowd and got..distracted. Are you mad? Oh god you look really mad." He says taking a step back.

"I'm not mad I was worried. Okay maybe I'm a little bit mad." I tell him but I can't be angry at him in this moment because he looks genuinely sorry.
"Maybe this will change your mind." He says and pulls out a small black book with a small ring laying on it.
"My sketchbook! Wait is that.."

"Yeah it's your ring." I grab it and put it on my finger examining it slowly. It really does look like my ring.
"How did you even find it?"

"I found it on the ground I think maybe it was all washed on the streets from this creature." He says and my heart makes a jump at his look.
Instinctively I grab his neck and push his head down to me pressing my lips softly against his.
The kiss doesn't last long and it's really sloppy but it makes my insides turn.
I slowly get back from my toes on my feet and let go of his neck.
Peters eyes are still closed as he lets out a small 'woah'.
I bite my lip to hide my grin when he opens his eyes.
"Thank you." I say softly. He nods still in trance.
"Maybe we can sit on the bus together tomorrow when we leave?" I ask him and he nods a giddy smile on his face.
He turns around to leave but I stop him.
"Peter!" He turns around already standing in the hall a questioning look on his face.
"Make sure to push your sleeves down I can see your web shooters." I tell him and his mouth drops open and eyes widen as I laugh and close my door.
That look on his face was hilarious.
