The Lady Doth Protest (in Front of Embassies) || Peter Parker

Part 1

It's gym period and M.J.'s bench-pressing The Second Sex while deep in speculative thought. So, the way Peter's shirt sleeves stretch over his biceps and shoulder blades is not a joke. On the other hand, his eyebrows are always in the middle of an identity crisis, and his lips are kinda thin. His smile, though--really, really nice. First class, one might say. A solid, toothpaste advertisement smile.

Yeah, M.J's not doing great service to Simone de Beauvoir right now.

*

In which M.J. has an inconvenient crush, and Ned Leeds will deeply regret ever visiting Universal Studios Florida.
(M.J's POV)

Part 2

"Because you're occupying like, all of my frontal lobe. And the parietal and temporal lobe. Probably the occipital as well!" and wow, he should've just run a bread knife through himself; it would've been more dignified.

*

In which M.J. and Peter are an ass-backwards kind of couple, and have the Feelings Talk two months after they begin dating.
