Heyyy I’m literally playing through ps4 Spider-Man again 🤣!

I was wondering if I could request a ps4 fic, maybe Peter and reader have been dating for a while, and she gets hurt during the explosion and he can’t find her but she’s with may at feast with like a broken arm or something?? (She knows he’s Spider-Man) 👀🫶🏼

hey lol thanks for requesting! I'm on the first playthrough of the game myself. Basically this is set during the explosion at the election event in the game, and Peter and you are there to proudly watch Officer Davis accept his award.

"Hey." Peter comes up from behind you on the sidewalk, fixing wrinkles in his civilian clothes. He must've just changed.

"Hey, Parker." You nudge him. "Ready to go watch Osborn smooch up to the well-meaning audience of Manhattan?"

"Well, ready as I'll ever be." Peter takes your hand. "I'm really just there to watch Davis get his well-deserving award, y'know. Hey, didn't I tell you to stop calling me Parker?"

"Meh, you love it." You joke. "You'll always be Parker to me, even if you are my boyfriend now. It's our thing."

Peter shakes his head, but you know based on his little smile- he loves that you have a little thing just for him.

Together, you walk to the intersection in front of City Hall, where many people crowd around, waiting for Mayor Osborn and whatever speech he's about to give today. They're all dressed in Osborn themed merchandise, cheering and clapping.

You can't believe this many people care about Osborn's so-called promises to the city- you and Peter are really hoping he won't be re-elected this term after all- but people are clapping for him, and you sigh knowing that your cost of living is about to go up.

"Hey. Wipe that frown off your face. We're here to be supportive." Peter whispers from next to you in the crowd, and you nod.

"Where's Davis? Is that him?" You whisper back, pointing to an older black man up on the stage.

"Yup. You wouldn't believe it, he was so helpful in Hell's Kitchen. Dude whipped out his gun and had my back like we've been best buds for years." Peter smiles. "There's not many out there doing it like him."

"He sounds like a real treasure. I'm glad you have someone on your side." You squeeze Peter's hand, and continue to look up towards the stage in mild excitement.

You don't really care for Osborn's speech- Peter laughs about his promise to open up technology for NYC when you both know that's reserved for the elite- but you both grin when Davis, looking nervous as ever, walks up the stage to receive his award.

"It is my privilege to present Officer Jefferson Davis with the Department Medal of Honour." Osborn hangs a medal around Davis' neck, and you and Peter clap.

"I'm so glad this is all over. The gang war, I think." Peter whispers to you, and you raise your eyebrows.

"Really? Does this mean you'll finally be a little safer?" You ask, but Peter frowns a little.

"Well, there's some loose ends still to be tied up, but-"

"Loose ends?" You give him a wary glance. "Like what?"

"Like whatever 'Consolidated Shipping' is. It doesn't make sense." Peter sighs, watching concern grow on your face. "It's not right, but I'll figure it out."

Davis says a few words- he thanks his wife and his son, Miles, who you can see is sitting up at the front of the stage.

"Aw, cute kid." You remark to Peter, and he nods, gaining a slightly sheepish smile.

"Officer Davis did say I remind him of his son. I'll take it as a compliment." Peter jokes, and you snicker, calling him even more of a baby.

Behind you, Sable guards are talking on their walkie talkies about "keeping eyes on Osborn," which to you sounds as if they perceive a threat. You turn back to tell Peter, when he suddenly flinches.

"Peter-?"

He grabs his head, panicking- you watch as his pupils dilate, and he's clearly in some kind of shock.

"Everything feels off-" Peter flinches again, and you know he's having a Spider-Sense meltdown. There must be multiple things happening at once- even worse, you're not sure what he's supposed to do in this situation. He's not suited up, and he risks revealing his identity if he does anything.

Either way, Peter runs behind you. He shoves people out of the way, trying to get to the back of the event, behind the audience, but he's not fast enough. There are men arriving out of cars- corrupted men, turning that strange grey-blue-transparent hue that confirms their connection with Martin Li.

Peter runs- he dashes- but you see him flinch again, cowering under such threatening energy. He turns to the stage in horror, and you gasp in shock.

There's another corrupted on stage, covered in explosive devices.

An explosion goes off behind you, to the right of you, than another massive one on stage- the ground shakes beneath you, and you're too in shock to move.

"Get down!" Peter shoves you back, attempting to push you out of the way, just as another two explosions cause the earth under you to rattle, and you lose your footing and fall back on the pavement. You twist your arm unnaturally and hit your head.

You black out, the last thing you see being massive blue-black explosions in the sky.

Peter wakes to floating ash in the sky.

He coughs- there's a sharp pain in his right side, and a slight ache at the top of his hairline- he touches his forehead and pulls his fingers away to see brown-red, dry blood.

It doesn't matter. He'll heal faster than most, anyways- he needs to locate you.

He gets up, seizes a little due to the pain- and to his alarm, you're nowhere in his near sight. He walks around seeing Sable guards help people off the streets- although Peter really thinks they're poking and prodding and shoving them away, so they can clean up the mess around here.

He hopes you haven't been taken away by Sable guards.

Peter rushes to the nearest clinic- but there's too many people crowding around there with their injuries, and the receptionist at the emergency room tells him there's no one by your name here.

He begins to panic. You're not responding to his calls, either. Peter doesn't want to believe the worst could've happened to you, but he does hear people talking on the streets about the casualties. Apparently at least 10 people have been found dead so far- Peter starts swearing under his breath.

He decides to head to FEAST- he's not sure if you'll be there, but it's better to ask Aunt May or some of the volunteers if you've been seen. FEAST also operates as an emergency medical clinic, too, even with limited supplies, and it's with this small amount of hope that Peter travels there.

Pushing through the doors, the front desk woman- Amanda- she's startled by how intensely Peter asks about you.

"I don't know, Peter." She points to the main auditorium, where many homeless and injured people are currently being attended to. "It's kind of an open house back here- you're going to have to look through the crowds."

Peter sighs. "Thanks, Amanda."

It takes him about fifteen minutes to do a full, quick walkthrough. The entire time, his heartbeat thumps faster as he realizes- he's not seeing you anywhere. There's nobody wearing your trademark scarf, your usual dark blue jeans- nobody with your fastidious expression, where you always seem to take in the entire world before speaking- nobody to relieve the steady ache in his heart.

Peter walks into the room full of medical supplies, expecting to see Aunt May- and while May is there, busy with another volunteer, the first thing he sees is you, with your hair all disheveled and messy, bruises on your cheek and a cut under your lip, and your arm wrapped in a cast and a sling.

But you have a soft, comforting smile. You're kneeling down to help a little girl- she can't be older than five- and you're placing a bandage on her knee. And the little girl squeals, hugging you after you say "It's all better now."

Peter would agree with that.

You look up, arms still embraced around the little girl- Rina is her name- to see Peter, looking wistful, sad, a clear lump in his throat. His eyes are watery.

"Peter?" You watch as he comes forward.

"I thought you were- I thought..." He wipes his eyes. "Are you okay? What happened?"

"Well, Little Rina over here needed a little bit of medical attention." You kindly tap her shoulder and she nods up at Peter, smiling. "She tripped and fell and no one was paying attention to her knee, so I decided to help her."

"That's..." Peter trails off, wondering how you could be so selfless when your own face was looking a bit worse for wear. "That's sweet of you to do. How do you feel, kiddo?"

He kneels towards her, and she grins really big. "Better!"

"Alright, high five then." Peter high fives her, and she dashes off afterwards, most likely looking for the parent she came with.

"Why didn't you respond to my calls?" Peter asks you as soon as you turn back to him. "I thought... I thought the worst had happened-"

"Peter, please. Stop with the wounded ego." May calls him out, listening from the sidelines. "What's important is that she's safe and in one piece- that's more than enough to feel grateful about."

Peter looks down, ashamed. He knows May is right, and he has to swallow his pride for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Peter." You grasp his hand, and he looks back at you, jaw tight as he listens. "I didn't mean to not answer your calls- my phone got shattered. And I didn't know where to find you after I woke up- I was already being taken away by Sable guards to 'safety' and then I decided my best chance to find you was over here."

"Oh." Peter feels kind of dumb, but he also feels glad you think of FEAST as a spot to find him. "I should've kept you safe."

"Don't. Don't make yourself crazy with what you could've done." You plead with him, and he sighs but shakes his head. "My arm will heal with time. I guess I landed on it weirdly and broke it."

Peter winces. "Well, you can always ask me for help if it bothers you. I'm there for you."

He traces your lip, where the cut under is still a red-brown, harsh hue in comparison to the pink of your bottom lip, and May takes this as her cue to leave.

Peter snorts. "I wish you had my-"

"Super healing? Yeah, I wish that too." You laugh. "Were you lucky enough to not get hit, or did you just heal on the way here?"

Peter's reaching for a facial bandage and some rubbing alcohol. "The latter."

"Ugh, lucky bastard." You smile up at him, cringing only slightly as Peter rubs away the blood from your wound. "I'm just glad that means I don't have to worry too much about you."

"You still do." Peter remarks, placing the bandage on your face. "But that just means you love me."

And, being ever so thankful that you're safely back in his arms, Peter places a soft kiss on your forehead, and then a slightly-less-soft one on your mouth, hoping it doesn't hurt you, but happy that you kiss him back anyways.

I played Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and the fundamental problem I have with it is as someone who reads Miles Morales comics, I don’t see anything being remotely respected in that adaptation. Everything about his adaptation in that game annoys me from killing Jefferson in a way that is against his character, Rio being a teacher and then politician instead of a nurse, the portrayal of Brooklyn Visions not being an integral setting and obstacle to Miles, Miles being dependent on Peter up until the last stretch of the sequel, Ganke being the guy in the chair for both Miles and Peter, and moving him to Harlem because they didn’t feel like creating Brooklyn just feels like they cut corners for Miles to mold him around Peter. Not one character from Miles supporting cast not named Ganke or any of his own rogues made the cut. They even made Principal Evans who was a black male dwarf in the comic into a black woman. Even in his own game, not one collectible references anything about Miles alone but just his relationship with Phin or talks about how great Phin is. They mention Mr. Sumida. Hell in the original PS4 game before the remaster, Miles went to Midtown instead of fucking Brooklyn Visions. Everything feels like they wanted Miles in name only and it irks me so much because they never did that with Peter.

Yeah, this is such a complete thought I don't know what to add other than to agree. I do love new characters like Hailey Cooper, but the last time an adaptation felt free to almost completely replace Peter Parker's supporting cast and love interests with OCs they just made up was, like, the 1977 TV show. To some degree the amount of freedom an adaptation feels it can have depends on how long + culturally iconic the character's publishing history has been so far. But follow that explanation just a step further, and, well, it's not like it's a mystery why Miles has had a much shorter and harder to follow comics run, either.

Even Ganke being a constant here is so clearly because of Ned Leeds' presence in the MCU and ends up awkwardly tiptoeing around apologizing for someone else's theft of its ideas... I know that Judge, Billie, Tiana, even Kamala, they don't exactly represent iconic story arcs or character connections in the adaptation-driven public knowledge of Miles right now, but the way for that to change is for adaptations to iterate on and expand the existing base.

I'm also of the general opinion that Miles' whole character will never land as hard if it doesn't start with seeing Peter Parker die in costume in front of him but that might pose some problems to the structure of the video game LOL. I'm sure they could have figured it out if they'd wanted to.

#I'd be curious for further elaboration on Jefferson's death being against his character though #miles morales #ps4

Alright after almost having an irrational breakdown over whether or not I’ll see Spiderverse spoilers, I went to go see it

And since @psychedelic-ink wants to talk about it with someone, here are my notes :)

Spoilers below the cut, proceed with caution

My sibling said they knew of a cameo and I thought it was gonna just be J.K. Simmons as J Jonah Jameson (in two universes)

I was surprised that Gwen took up the intro. But I’m not mad about it, just unexpected. Which is exactly what she said “let’s do this differently”

THE RENAISSANCE VULTURE AHHHH so cool. Loved how the style clashed with the rest of the universe

Miles’ mom’s Spanglish is no joke. She would change mid sentence (mid- word???) my (limited) Spanish class knowledge can’t keep up 😭😭😭😭New respect for the Spanglish kids having to decode their parents all the time

Also was Miles’ roommate playing the Spiderman PS2 game? Like the controller was new but I swear it looked like the PS2 game. I understand the new Spiderman PS4 and PA5 game is popular rn so I’d get if it was that instead. I’m just not as familiar with that

I thought from the trailer that the spot was going to be a minor villain and they weren’t gonna show the main villain. But I like how they made him a genuine threat. He’s still a nerd tho

WHEN GWEN’S FATHER TRIED TO ARREST HER OMG. A cop’s a cop

Pavitr is so 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love him

His hair is that luscious bc of shampoo and genetics lol. I get that a lot with my complexion. Never had any publicly visible acne, and yes I love flaunting that fact at least once a year so. This is the one

I thought “wouldn’t it be messed up if they reversed this a killed the captain anyways?” And I’m so glad they didn’t. Please let Pavitr continue to be the golden child. He deserves it

AND HOBIE!!!! He hates the AM and the PM (prime minister) lol. The comedic relief we didn’t know we needed. Also he is super hot. Is he a teenager tho? Hold on. Still don’t know. I’m not about to swoon over a teen but he looks over 18 and I have a soft spot for punk guys 😌😌😌😌

Hobie and Mayday is the best pair and they only had a few seconds together. Sad

ALSO, only critique, I was severely lacking in Mayday content. I would like to see the baby. Give me more Mayday

Does this make Miles Mayday’s godfather? Cause I hope so.

DONALD GLOVER AHHHHHHHHHHH

Donald as the big cameo was the best. I audibly gasped. Our hero. Thank you for sparking Miles Morales

Of course I loved the other Sony Peters.

Also I didn’t realize that was PS4 Peter saying “are you talking to me?” during the video game characters in prison. I thought it was Miles

ALSO WAS THE SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN TALKING TO (I believe) MILES BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE IT

Oh! How could I forget the Lego Peter Parker ❤️❤️❤️ I cackled that Miguel said Lego Peter did some of the best work. Like hell yeah he did. Legos don’t mess around 😂

ALSO DID YOU KNOW THE LEGO SEQUENCES WERE ANIMATED BY A 14 YEAR OLD???? Crazy

Moose-teriyo

I know Miguel is trying to to save a whole universe and doing it for the greater good but holy cow man. He’s a child. It’s his dad you’re talking about. He’s not gonna be rational, and don’t ever expect him to. I wouldn’t. Like I don’t care, I just want my dad to be alright.

Also what is his beef with Peter B. Parker? I feel like there’s more there

Miguel’s backstory hurt tho. No wonder he’s traumatized. I’d become the antagonist too (not villain - just the person that gets in the way of the protagonist)

Also who’s the daddy of Jessica’s baby? We only got glimpses of her backstory. Like did she remove herself from the baby daddy? Did he die? Is Miguel the dad? I doubt it but I’m just nosey. I need her specific trauma gimmie gimmie. Jessica having a soft spot for Gwen. Women protecting women. Gotta love it

Is this the first movie to incorporate footnotes? I feel like it is. It’s certainly the first one I’ve seen. Also “I haven’t got a Scooby Doo” is a phenomenal phrase. And I’m so disappointed that the Brits use it and not us. Like, come on. We’re Scooby Doo capital of the world. Every American loves Scooby Doo.

Okay, Miles being an anomaly was a great twist. But wouldn’t his world collapse then? Wouldn’t Earth 42 collapse? Wouldn’t Miles glitch more? If Mike’s was never meant to be Spiderman than why is the multiverse not already erasing itself?

I think Miles and his universe is the key to restoring other universes, especially the ones where the holes were contained.

PROWLER MILES AHHHHHHH

I kinda knew he’d get stuck in a dimension tho with the “don’t get lost” line from mom. But I didn’t expect a world without Spiderman! So cool.

📌✨💢 for the hyperfixation asks ^_^

YIPPEEE THANK U GUYS FOR THE ASKS :3 LOVE AND PEAACE <33

📌How did you find your hyperfixation?

WELLL this is a little sillay story ^_^ for spiderman I had an entire character arc because I was introduced to it by my friend who was a huge fan of mcu spidey in 2018 and for SOME reason I decided it was cringe to ask more abt spiderman (I lost all my whimsy in 2018-2019) so I would deny liking spiderman WHILE dropping the least subtle hints that I wanted her to keep telling me more abt spidey. And well that did nawt work out</3 BUT BOOM !! NOW I AM SILLY AND WHIMSICAL AND I CONSUME LOTS OF SPIDEY CONTENT AND LOOVE TO TALK ABT IT ^_^ !!

if I could go back in time and tell my 2018 self 1 thing it would be to get some freaking whimsy and be silly with ur love for mlp and spiderman and whatever the hell and consume more content by urself<3 I am much happier now since I've embraced the silly :3 ALSO PLOT TWIST that friend only ever liked mcu spidey and after she dropped that interest I became the spidey friend for all my friendgroups so ! How the tables turn ^_^ ! And that's about it for interesting stuff </3 everythang else was cuz I consumed it from a young age :3

✨ what draws you towards your hyperfixation? what is interesting about it?

OHH YIPPEEE BABYYY I LOOVE SPIDERMAN FOR SO SO MANY REASONS ^_^ ONE OF THE LOVELIEST IN MY EYES IS THE COMMUNITY!! ofc firstly it's about what the character represents :3 how everybady has the power to help others and make a great impact in their own communities and can also do so just by being themselves <33 The community of fans all really love this idea and it is SO NICEYS !!! because they will show their love for the character by BEING NICEYS !! BEING KIND TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS !!! like u know those people who dress up as spiderman and go to events to cheer people up and maybe even raise money for charity :] that's so everythang to me cuz its about helping others.. making others happy anonymously and getting joy from seeing others smile.. bwuh..

Personally Spiderman inspires me to keep my whimsy strong and to be the most niceys I can be to others :3 and their stories (ESPECIALLY E-1048 THE PLAYSTATION GAMDS) always make me smile cuz the in game communities and people are so loving and caring... and I think thats why It's one of my longest standing hyperfixes bcoz spideys are so so lovely and niceys which makes me happy and inspires me to be like that to make others happy too :]

Plus the diversity of spider people is so dear to me bcoz.. That's literally the manifestation of everyone around the world being like. Ohh I can be a hero and help people !! Just like spida man !! And it keeps that idea going stronger too cuz yeah peter parker already makes me wanna be niceys and help others but when i saw SILK... babygirl i dont even know u that well but oh my gosh... u look like me... THAT is insane it really hammers home that idea :3 ditto with most spideys having wildly different backgrounds, which is also cool and interesting bcoz u get to learn abt other cultures and other peoples stories thru spidermen ^_^ the character gives me so much joy and curiosity for the world and for others it's insane!!! Peace and love in the world :D

ALSO I GOTTA MENTION THE ART AND CREATIVE IMPACT FROM THIS COMMUNITY LIKE !! HAVE U SEEEN SPIDERVERSE !! HAVE U SEEN SPIDERMAN PS4 AND PS5 ... HAVE U HEAARD THE SOUNDTRACKS FOR BOTH!! Literally some of the most inspiring and incredible and just soul lifting art has come out of this community and inspired the rest of the world to keep its whimsy strong :] seriously the soundtrack esp for miles morales focused stuff is insane.. makes me feel so happy and inspired everytime ^_^ BOOM I COULD GO ON BUT YAA THATS WHY SPIDERMAN STAYS CLOSE TO MY HEART FOREVERR AND INSPIRES ME!!

💢 What do you NOT like about your hyperfixation? is there something you would want to change about it?

GONNA BE SO HONEST IM JUST A LITTLE GUY AND I LOVE EVERYTHING!! plus my hyperfixes are pretty niceys ,,, spidey, mlpfim, adventure time etc u really cannot go wrong ^_^ the only things I don't like abt them r the things purposely designed to make me dislike them. Like zephyr breeze and King of ooo, and even then it's cool cuz they do serve a purpose and tell important stories :3

Something I would have wanted to change abt mlpfim tho would be seeing chrysalis reform cuz honestly she was . Just being a mom :( she loved her hive and just needed to learn to accept that they really were healthier and happier when they evolved</3 Sawtooth waves on YouTube has an awesome video or two abt this and it's so real. Thorax was way too quick to try to convert all the changelings to adopt pony culture and i think chrysalis would have been a good mom and leader and an important piece of changeling culture if she reformed ^_^ bcoz all the other species have such cool cultures and changelings.. didn't really have any. Which makes sense but yknow !! A girl can dream :3

#I LOOVE TO SAY WHATEVER THE HELL !!!^_^#i could say more abt specifically e1048 spideys or abt mlp but :3 i wanted to talk abt thheese ^_^#and it is silly that my number 1 special interest originally started out with me finding it cringe </3 #litetally GROW UP AND BE SILLYY!!!#so glad i am not my 2018 self anymore im sure she would be glad to know i have so much fun with my fav fictional blorbos in my head #ask game #isa rambles #also also ik spiderman has a few issues people dislike esp in the comics and some movies but !! i gen have no idea whats going on at any t #i am just here for the silly spider man go thwip thwip freindly neighbourhood and do a flip

Brooklyn Go Hard

Across the Spider-Verse is killing at the box office right now and rightfully so. It’s exceptional. Not quite as good as it’s predecessor but still a top-five Spider-Flick, all time. I’m not going to go into detail about every little thing i loved in this fick, or the dope ass fan-service riddled throughout, or the emotional character study on acceptance and independence, or that full-circle moment with Childish Gambino, or any of the other, many, many, things that made my inner child squee with joy. I’m not gong to do that. I will say this; Go see that sh*t right now! Across the Spider-Verse is everything and absolutely NEEDS to be seen on the big screen to take in all of the grandeur. No, this essay is about the main character of what is fast becoming one of the greatest film franchises, animated or otherwise, i n history: Miles f*cking Morales!

Miles is the greatest thing to come out of the now defunct Ultimate Marvel line. He was created as the replacement for the 1610 Peter after dude got taken out by that universes Green Goblin. Spider-Man is my favorite hero in any universe so i hated that sh*t with a passion. Miles coming along and taking up the mantle felt like heresy and Bendis, his creator and writer at the time, definitely leaned into that sh*t. But as time went on, Miles became more than just a “black Peter Parker.” He grew into the webs and, but the time that first Spider-Men series dropped, WAS Spider-Man. 616 Pete gave Miles his blessing, and i think so did the overall audience by that point, and he swung off to do his own thing, until Secret Wars brought him to the 616. It would be in the main Marvel Universe that Miles really got to shine.

For a long time, Miles was the only refuge from the destroyed 1610 and, as such, found himself out of place. It took time for him to adjust but he did and, eventually, became one of the premier Spider-people in all of Marvel. That’s about when he started getting the big push. Miles was everywhere, all at once. He was in comics, doing big things, in that masterpiece of a video PS4 video game, and, finally, on the big screen winning our hearts while he chased after Spider-Gwen in the most awkward way possible. Into the Spider-Verse is, for me, the greatest Spider-Flick ever made and it stars, top billing, Miles Morales. And that’s coming from an unapologetic Peter Parker shill. Into the Spider-Verse did so much for Miles as a character, it was borderline embarrassing to the comics, and up to that point, the comics did fine by the kid! Also, Spider-Gwen. The animated Ghost Spider is awesome and, while i do enjoy her comics counterpart, it’s real hard not to recognize her brilliance on film, especially after seeing her origin in Across.

Bro, i love Miles, man. I think he has become an Amazing Spider-Man, and an even more brilliant character, in his own right. I think he is an ideal example of how to add diversity to an established character without resorting to pandering or lazy race-bending. There is a lot of talk about how Miles is “better” than Pete because he has so many new powers but that goes for any “new” Spider. Cats forget Kaine has stingers, Anya had an exoskeleton, Cindy has organic webbing. Every time a new Spider I introduced, they have better powers than Pete. Every. Single. Time. Hell, the first “new” Spider, Jessica Drew, has those venom shots, just like Miles. None of that stuff takes away from Peter, never has. There is no gran conspiracy to replace Pete with Miles as THE Spider-Man. There’s no way anyone would accept that. The only thing hobbling Parker right now is awful writing but i digress. Across the Spider-Verse is an amazing f*cking film and Miles Morales is fast becoming one of my all-time favorite characters in media. From film, to comics, to television, and even in video games, Brooklyn’s own Spider-Man has spun a web that is catching all kinds of fans, left and right. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving kid.

In Spiderverse 2, they need to include PS4 Spiderman, and whenever he does anything, the button symbols appear out of thin air around him.

Okay I’m gonna give every single THH beta character a western name (That’s how you say it right?) and then make very weird specific assumptions about them anyways

His name is Sam and he’s been writing a story he came up with back in 4th grade, he’s got a lot of friends and he hangs out with his friends after school. He rides his scooter home.

His name is Daniel and his family is rich, he never needs a GPS because he knows how to get anywhere. All the girls had a crush on him and his hero is Ben Shapiro. He’s also a jerk who judges people behind their back.

Her name is Carol and she has had a rough past, but she’s a very happy girl. People think it’s funny to tease her because she is upbeat, but her friends love her so much. She’s either too quiet or too loud. She loves baking sweets.

This is Audrey and you’re friends with her for the first 2 weeks of school. You never talk to her again after that. You only know that she’s friendly and takes dance lessons.

This is Elizabeth, she hangs out with the anime fans of the school. She shows up to school in cosplay and gets away with it. You want to get to know her better, because she’s in the same fandom as you. She’s in 20 fandoms at once though.

This is Victoria and she does lots of sports. She gets bullied and doesn’t give a fuck. Her folder and water bottle are covered in stickers. She is actually really good at Super Smash Bros Ultimate and will bring her switch with to let you play.

Her name is Morgan and she gets bullied to the point where she breaks down in class. She spends her time in one of the teachers rooms writing poems. She has some severe trauma, and people make her life a living hell. She has a small group of friends who try to help. She is always wearing the clothes of her friends.

His name is Gideon and he’s brings his switch to school to play Fire Emblem and Project Diva Mega Mix. He has very strong opinions on his favorite characters and will rant to you about his favorite series. He jumps from fandom to fandom, but he’s always into the same type of character. He’s actually a really nice guy and he buys you video games on your birthday. Pro at rhythm games.

He is Devon, and he wears 50 layers of clothes, he only takes baths and he’s into card games. He’s the reason why Pokemon cards are banned at your school. Probably gets sick on purpose to skip school. Never wears socks. Will hug you if you’re sad.

His name is Braxton he may look tough, straight, and can run the mile in 7 minutes. but he’s actually bi, a furry, a sweetheart, and it takes him 10 minutes to run a mile. He will fuck up anyone who bullies you, and he always has a weapon in his bag. He has coupons to get free shit at 7-11. He n e e d s a hug.

This is Charlie and they’re really into Vocaloid. They are afraid to ask the teacher for help so they ask you instead. That thing they’re wearing? That’s a blanket that helps them stay calm. You want to get to know them better. They also play Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

This is Noelle and she has a twin. She is usually in the restroom skipping class. You wouldn’t have guessed, but she’s really good at the fitness tests. Her hair is really greasy. Borrows money and never gives it back.

This is Brandon. He’s weird to most, and he doesn’t know how to start a conversation. He gets bullied, but Braxton sticks up for him. It doesn’t help much though. He has a lot of weird interests. Doesn’t know how to play video games at all. His birthday is around when school starts, so the teachers never bothers to celebrate it.

Her name is Violet, and she gets called mature for her age. She doesn’t say much and doesn’t to much, at least that’s what most people think. Can probably name every state and their capital by heart.

This is Scott, he’s not actually blonde. SoundCloud rapper. Can’t keep a girlfriend. Likes really bad memes. Writes 58008 on his calculator. “Xbox is better than PS4.″ Really good at Wii Sports. Alright, I think that’s it! Sorry some of these are weird, and some are longer than others, I hope you enjoyed!

If you could make a trigger warning list for Tsukihime, what would be on it? There's a lot of people who are just getting interested in it with the remake (myself included) and I think having a tw list would be a really nice thing for those getting in now. If you can't remember every scene, a general list is good enough!

Oh boy.

Ohhhhhhhh boyyyyyyyyy.

Alright. So. A little bit of explanation: there's a reason why Nasu actually wants to remake this game. Tsukihime is by miles his darkest and most brutal work, and a lot of it is completely unnecessary edginess made by poor and almost literally starving Nasu and Takeuchi. Kara No Kyoukai wasn't exactly making waves, and the two were living on cup noodles and working other jobs to keep themselves afloat. To finish the VN Takeuchi even made Nasu quit his job and worked two in his stead (biking home in-between said jobs to do art) just so Nasu would have time to write. The nastiness of what they felt at the time is everywhere in the script, and it speaks to Nasu's talent that what came out wasn't complete edgelord garbage.

Did you ever read the original Fate/Stay Night? Did you get taken abrupt when Illya and Berserker first attack Shirou, Rin, and Saber, and Illya orders Berserker to behead Saber and rape the corpse so that Saber would rather die than continue to regenerate and fight? Did you think that kinda came out of nowhere and was unnecessary? The Realta Nua rerelease didn't just remove all the bad sex scenes, they removed lines like those entirely.

Tsukihime has waaaaaaaay more of that, and unlike Fate/Stay Night it couldn't easily edit all of them out and get rereleased without changing the story. It needed to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Personally, I've been so excited for the remake because Nasu has expressed regret before on how misogynistic his writing was before. Specifically he was asked in an interview about his focus on female characters in his works and he something like "I've been told before 'Nasu respects womens rights' because of all the powerful girls in my works, but looking back I can clearly see my own prejudices" especially singling out how Shirou treated Saber in the Fate route and how Tohno Shiki needed to get uppercut by Arcueid. I'm far more excited to see how Nasu will approach Tsukihime with that hindsight in mind more than I am about the visual and music upgrades the VN will get. I don't think Nasu wants to (or even should) remove all the problematic content of the original Tsukihime as this IS a work of horror, but a lot of editing would greatly improve the script.

Releasing Tsukihime R on PS4 isn't just a message of a console release, it's a sign that things will be different this time due to Sony's strict rules (that do not apply to its first party games apparently).

With that being said, a general trigger warning list from memory:

1.) There is a LOT of rape and sexual assault. Mentions of the act, internal narration from characters witnessing or attempting to find someone to rape, Shiki can straight up rape two of the girls on two seperate routes if he makes the wrong choice (he will be killed the day after). There's also a line where Shiki tells Ciel that if she doesn't do what he says, he'll rape her. The context there is that he's extremely weak and she can snap him like a twig so he just shouts the most hurtful thing he can think of, but it's still dumb. If I remember correctly, there's a choice that makes Shiki sexually assault Hisui and it DOESNT lead to a dead end, with most guides recommending that choice to get the CGs. I got annoyed and that's when I made my own guide for the route.

2.) Unknown to Shiki, his family's bloodline carries a powerful violent impulse to kill any non-human they see, strong enough to temporarily take over their wills and delight in murder by conflating it with sexual pleasure. The first time Shiki sees Arcueid, he falls into a trance and stalks her back home before brutally cutting her up into 17 pieces and experiences multiple orgasms while doing so. He then comes to his senses and starts vomiting and crying from what he just did and the shame of how much he enjoyed doing it. They're not taking this scene out (It's in the remake PV) but I'm preeeettyyyy sure Shiki's narration won't suddenly talk about how much his dick is loving this.

3.) Incest. Akiha is Shiki's sister. She's also a romantic interest. Technically they're adopted so it's not incest and they haven't seen each other in 8 years so it's not like they grew up together the whole time, but any tine you got to say "technically it's not incest", it's not great. I heavily doubt this is getting removed from the Remake as it's, you know, a whole route. On the other hand, Akiha has a biological brother, and he is creepy about her so that's 100% guaranteed ick right there, but fortunately he never goes far enough that you can tell if he's a sicko or if he's just really possessive of his sister.

4.) Kohaku's backstory. Koha-Ace once joked that this is the true reason the Remake took so long. It forms the backbone of Tsukihime and one of the main threads that ties everything together, but also Kohaku is the middle link between Fujino and Sakura. You can guess what that means.

5.) Heavy gaslighting, heavier drugs. Both Shiki's past and his present in the far side routes involve an almost hilarious relationship to the truth. Everyfuckingbody is lying to Shiki, and his father literally gaslights him with magic by using hypnosis to conveniently erase some traumatic memories that the old man is responsible for and replace them with falsehoods. Shiki nonchalantly talks about his terrible memory when it comes to his childhood throughout the VN, but the actual reason for that is that he got gaslit to hell and back. In the present, Shiki gets drugged out of his mind by someone in his house, and experiences long and detailed hallucinations, all the while being told by his family that nothing is going on. It becomes difficult to tell what's really going on; if he's really walking around town or if he's in bed babbling at the ceiling. It is terrifying and is a part of what gives the Far Side routes great psychological horror, but it still deserves a TW.

6.) Suicide. At least one character kills themselves onscreen.

7.) Torture. In the Ciel route, Roa tortures someone by repeatedly and slowly stabbing blades into them while Shiki is forced to watch. It goes on for a while.

8.) Grooming. This particular bit isn't a part of the Tsukihime VN itself, but more of a fandom joke thanks to Carnival Phantasm. A big part of Shiki's backstory is meeting the mage Aozaki Aoko as an 8 year old and her teaching him about life in the short time they have together. Due to Shiki's nature he almost certainly would have become an evil person, but meeting Aoko instilled a moral compass in him that is the only thing he has to fight his impulses, which is why Shiki loves his sensei so dearly. Melty Blood later made a joke that Aoko is mad she never got a route in Tsukihime, and Carnival Phantasm later had a whole scene stating the real reason Aoko cared for Shiki was that she was grooming him to be her boyfriend as soon as he turned of age. It's super gross and a perversion of what is literally the sole wholesome relationship Shiki has and the only reason there is any good in him at all. I really fucking hate this joke among all others in the Tsukihime fandom.

‘8 hours’ part 2, suna rintarō.

a/n : here’s part two of 8 hours since it was highly requested <33

warnings: angst, implications of toxic relationship, vomiting.

part 3

your eyes glazed over your phone in the dead of the night as you heard the familiar buzzing sound ring throughout the room, forcing your eyes open. you weren’t exactly sleeping and you hadn’t been for the past two weeks since you had walked out on your now ex-boyfriend suna rintarō. you’d often found yourself hoping- no, praying that he was doing okay, that he wouldn’t be missing you too much and that he was holding up well. but night after night you’d find that this wasn’t the case as he’d consistently spam text or call your phone. and day after day you would ignore his messages, never bothering to call back.

this time they read ‘please talk to me, i just want to hear your voice one more time.’ and you could swear you heard your heart break in your chest. you hated not being around suna, not being able to bathe in his warmth as he pulled you closer against the bed. not being able to pester him into doing his makeup out of pure entertainment. not having him teach you how to play call of duty on his ps4. not being able to feel his lips against yours. not being able to run your fingers through his hair. all things considered you were sure that hell existed, because you were living in it.

your stomach ached dully as you struggled to swallow the lump in your throat, fighting the urge to pick up the phone and tell him every single emotion going through your head right now. how much you loved him and how badly you missed him. but alas, you knew what was better for the two of you to be apart even though the distance made you feel like you were splitting in two, it was as if one half of your soul had been torn away from you leaving a lifeless void, an abyss that was so wide you were sure it would never be filled.

you sighed grabbing your phone, biting down on your lip as you clicked down on your now ex-boyfriends contact. your breath hitched as your eyes fixated on the block button, your fingers visibly hesitating as you knew this would truly mean the end as you reminisced on your relationship with the male.

two years ago.

“here, this is the drink you like right?” suna approached you, the both of you had gone shopping in the mall after school together. his excuse was he needed to buy new kneepads and didn’t want to go alone but truly he was asking you to spend some quality time together. even though the two of you had been dating since your second year of high school and you were here with him, in your third, he still remained hesitant in expressing his feelings. this meant that you would usually initiate romance including dates.

you turned to him with a smile, inspecting the contents of the beverage as you realised he’d memorised your favourite starbucks order and you couldn’t help but chuckle along with your words of thank you. “what’s so funny?” he deadpanned knowing that you were mocking him for being some what sappy, he didn’t mind though. the truth was he was very sappy and very in love with you, regardless of if he would openly admit it or not.

“you’re just so cute rin.” you leaned in wrapping your arms around his neck, giggling as his face visibly flustered a light shade of pink. in all honesty, it wasn’t that he was necessarily nervous around you, he was more starstruck. everytime you did the littlest things he couldn’t believe that you were his. often he had wondered how he’d gotten so lucky to find you, the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen with a personality fit for his own and a shared sense of humour and interests. you were his whole world.

in a desperate attempt to divert the attention off of him he turned to peer into the window of the shop you were looking into before he had arrived. “do you like them?” he was referring to the variation of rings on display with prices that ranged from one hundred to seven thousand. some were decorated with different types of crystals and rocks and even diamonds which drove the price up by a mile. “they’re beautiful.” you whispered as your eyes glazed over the collection.

“i’ll get you one someday when i marry you.” the words slipped out of his mouth. it wasn’t his intention to think outloud but when he was around you it was almost as if he couldn’t function properly. every aspect of you was just so breathtaking to him and he couldn’t even coordinate himself properly.

you flaunted one of the biggest smiles he’d ever seen from you as you registered his words, turning to face him you brought him into an embrace so full of love that suna could feel your very emotions in that moment.

“promise me.” your voice was muffled against the fabric against his chest but he heard those two words distinctly as ever. “i promise i’ll buy one.” he chuckled against your hair, marvelling in the feeling of every strand that went between his fingers as he memorised the name of the store ‘lacrimosa’. “no, that’s not what i meant.” you pulled away, the atmosphere around the two of you growing more serious as you looked him in the eye.

“promise me you’ll marry me.”

“i promise.”

tears brimmed in your eyes at the memory, the strings of your heart were being toyed with every single time you saw his face in your mind. you weren’t sure which one of you had broke the promise, was it him for driving you away out of neglect or was it you for finally ending things? it wasn’t something that you wanted to ponder over but you couldn’t help but let your mind run wild.

you gritted your teeth, attempting to knock the thoughs out of your mind. your stomach began to twist and you grew nauseous contemplating on how the rest of your life would be without the boy you’d been in a relationship with for three years. you were sure he’d be losing his mind if he could see you now, legs weak as you ran to the bathroom, one arm clutching your stomach as the other held up your hair, body growing limp as you were sprawled out over your sink, violently vomiting with an aching throat.

this was probably the worst time to be alone, tears pricked your eyes as you wished someone, anyone.. suna could be here right now. and your wishes were granted, perhaps it wasn’t the particular person you wanted but your neighbor knocking on your door after hearing your struggle was sufficient enough for you.

you’d known her ever since you’d moved in as she greeted you with a freshly baked tray of cookies and her entire life story accompanied by a late night glass of wine. and her friend status was paying off right now as she barged into your apartment after you hadn’t replied, unable to find the strength to, if only you could voice it you could, how much you appreciated your neighbor akari suzuki.

“y/n? are you in here?” she rushed into your bedroom but was met with it empty and her wondering if she was just hearing things. but surely you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked if you weren’t home? you weren’t usually forgetful but then again your area did have a low crime rate so it wasn’t a necessity per say. however she still contemplated over the different things that could’ve got you so distracted that you’d forget such a simplistic task.

she turned the corner of your corridor bursting into your bathroom as your eyes followed her lazily, her jaw dropped at the sight of you. “y/n whats going on? are you okay?” she asked before glancing at your sink and the realisation of how silly that question was slapped her hard and fast in the face. “oh my god.” she rushed to your side, pulling you backwards so you could pour your weight onto her instead of struggling to stay upright.

“can you walk? come, i’ll take you to the hospital.” she panicked, stabilising your body with hers at your lack of responses. even though you could hear her talking her voice was just so muffled in your mind, you couldn’t distinctly understand what she was saying, and at this point you were barely on grips with reality. but one thing you did understand is how much you appreciated akari indeed.

a/n: heYY my loves <3 originally i hadn’t necessarily planned to write a part two for this piece, but since you guys wanted one i have delivered. now there’s definitely going to be more than two parts and i’m kinda considering turning this into a mini series but i’m not sure yet.

2021 Favorites

Well, another year has come to a close, and I have Opinions™. Here are some of my favorite things from this past year!

Television

I have a terrible memory so I had to edit this list about thrice, but Wandavision was always going to come out on top. It may be the last piece of Marvel media I consume for a very long time because they aren't going to best it soon. As an homage to sitcoms and a raw expression of human loss and grief, it's not just good for Marvel, it's Great television.

1. Wandavision (Disney+) 2. Shadow and Bone (Netflix) 3. Only Murders in the Building (Hulu) 4. Midnight Mass (Netflix) 5. The White Lotus (HBO)

Honorable Mention: Nancy Drew (CW), The Witcher (Netflix).

Movies

Okay, so I haven't seen many movies this year, but what else is new? I did watch these three, though, and I did love them all dearly. tick, tick... BOOM! has stayed with me from the moment I watched it, and I'm rooting for Andrew at the Oscars this year.

1. tick, tick... BOOM! (dir. Lin-Manuel Miranda, Netflix) 2. Being the Ricardos (dir. Aaron Sorkin, Amazon Prime) 3. Luca (dir. Enrico Casarosa, Disney+)

Music

My opinion on songs changes by the minute, so these are in no particular order, and I'm giving you two extra to make up for the two missing movies. I've also tried to rein in my personal feelings and add a bit of objectivity to this category, so while some tracks are not my ~particular~ favorites from the artist, I do love the song and have included it instead for its lyricism, originality, creativity, or impact. And boy did Miss Rodrigo have one hell of an impact.

1. drivers license — Olivia Rodrigo 2. All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault) — Taylor Swift 3. Next — Olivia Holt 4. People Watching — Conan Gray 5. Set Me Free — Joshua Bassett 6. Easier than Lying — Halsey 7. NGL — Rebecca Black

Video Games

This was a good year for games!!!! As you can see, a lot of the ones that impacted me personally were ones I got to share. But as a brand new fan to Ratchet & Clank this year, Rift Apart stole my heart and was an absolute blast from start to finish.

1. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (Insomniac Games; PS5) 2. It Takes Two (Hazelight Studios; PS4/5, Xbox One/X/S, PC) 3. Resident Evil Village (Capcom; PS4/5, Xbox One/X/S, PC) 4. Mario Party Superstars (NDcube; Switch) 5. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Nintendo; Switch)

Honorable Mention: That Animal Crossing update.

Video Games (New to Me)

I played a lot of video games this year. Many of them were not released in 2021, but I didn't want to NOT talk about them. So, here are my favorite games that were new to me this year, led by my actual favorite game I played for the first time this year.

1. Hades (Supergiant Games; Switch, PS4/5, Xbox One/X/S, PC, Mac) 2. Resident Evil 2 (Capcom; PS4/5, Xbox One/X/S, PC) 3. Control (Remedy Entertainment; Switch, PS4/5, Xbox One/X/S, PC) 4. Horizon Zero Dawn (Guerrilla Games; PS4, PC) 5. Spider-Man: Miles Morales (Insomniac Games; PS4/5)

Honorable Mention: Prey, The Last of Us, Resident Evil 7.

Special Shoutout

I don't really have a category... or a good gif for this. But at the start of this year I discovered Snapcube and I don't know what my year would have been like without Penny Parker in it. This was without a doubt my most binged content of the entire year (I'm still going!) and I just wanted to give a special little thank you to Penny and everyone involved for a whole lot of laughs.

Alright, that's it. As always I love talking about the media I consume, so feel free to leave a question or anything. Hope everyone has a wonderful and healthy New Year!

Where the hell is that cheesecake?

A/N: Soooo there’s not enough ps4 peter parker content on here and I’m starving, so I thought fuck it and came up with this. This probably sucks but wtv, it was fun anyway. This is also my very first fic ever, constructive criticism is very much welcomed and appreciated. Also, english is not my first language so if you spot any errors, please let me know

Enjoy <3

You can also read it on ao3

Summary: In which Miles just wants some cheesecake. And Peter has a good night's rest.

Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader

Warnings(?): Fluff, just fluff, lots of it. Peter Parker is precious and needs a hug; I’m here to provide. Oh, and slight nudity by the end, but that's it.

Words: 3.7k

———

“Please, tell me you got the cream cheese, Parker.” You had trusted Peter with the simplest of tasks: go to the store on his way from work and pick up cream cheese, which was the only ingredient missing for your specialty: cheesecake. You suck in the kitchen but oddly enough, you can make a mean cheesecake. Miles and Ganke almost cry when it’s over. It’s just that good. So you though that it was appropriate to make it in this special night. MJ was back from Symkaria and everyone, surprisingly enough, was free to hang out. Even Mrs. Morales was coming. Her campaign was going great, but it consumed a lot of her time.

“I’m almost there! It’s just that hmm you see- I got stuck for a while and I’m running a bi-“ He didn’t have to finish. Ever, really. You knew. And understood. After he told you about his not-so-tiny-secret, he didn’t have to explain much for you to know why he was always late. Crime is a bitch. Sometimes it was just traffic, but that was rare. He usually just swings his way around the city. “How long ‘till you get here?” you went straight to the point. “Like thirty minutes, tops. I swear.” You check the time. “Alright, we’ve got some time left, no worries. I still have some other things to prepare, so I’m getting into that.” There was a table to be put, the fine chinas to be found (handed over by your grandma against your wishes, since you knew how much she liked to display them in her living room for her guests, but it did came in handy in moments like these), and you still needed to get ready. Nothing too fancy but you do take your sweet time in the shower, so you maybe it was not a bad idea to get around to that now.

“I’m swinging as fast as I can. I’m even gonna pretend I didn’t see that one lady asking for help with her cat stuck on a tree.” You hear him chuckling on the other end of the line. “Damn Parker, that’s cruel. Spider-Man not helping the most in need? Just you wait until JJ hears about that one”, you joked. You can never get tired of poking fun at him, special because it’s just so easy. You’re nowhere near being Jonah’s biggest fan, but his spite for the superhero gives you quite the opportunities to strike a joke here and there. “Ugh, don’t remind me. Sometimes I think that having his podcast stream automatically in my suit was not my brightest idea.” You could imagine the smile that was plastered on his face through the phone. And damn you, you really loved that smile. It’s a shame he didn’t know it. But he couldn’t. His heart belonged to another, and you were happy to at least be his friend. That was enough. Right? “For someone so smart, it’s kinda hard to believe you only reached that conclusion now” you said, smirking. “Is it though? Is it really?” You chuckled. He was right. Pete just doesn’t understand how it is possible that no matter what he does, the man still hates his alter-ego. And like him are many others. He’s the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. He helps everyone on the daily and yet, there are still people that hate the web-head. Why? Is he too arrogant when he’s behind the mask? Are people afraid he will turn on them some day? What is it? He has given up so much for this city. All his might, determination, time, family. And it still feels like it’s not enough. Like he’s not enough. You know he’s enough. More than he can ever imagine. People just don’t appreciate what they have until they don’t anymore. And the day they lose Spider-Man, either because he retired and leaves Miles to deal with this responsibility by himself, knowing he’s more than capable to do so, or because he gave his life while out there dealing with what others couldn’t.... man, that’s gonna be a very dark day. You try not to think about it too much, but it is a possibility. “Can’t really argue with that now, can I? I gotta go now, though. Hurry up.” “Yes ma’am.”

After hanging up, you placed the ingredients you will need for the dessert on the counter and put the table after rummaging around for the chinas in the many boxes left unopened in the little storage room your apartment had. On your search though, you found your mothers vinyls. After her passing, these are what connects you most to her. They were always playing in the background back home. You brought a few with you to the living room and put them on the coffee table. Miles had great musical taste, and so did his father. Maybe he would recognise some. You left that choice for him.

You looked around and checked that everything was well on its way. The clock on the wall marked the time. Three forty seven. If you get ready fast enough, maybe you can open the door to Peter instead of him just waltzing in from the window like usual. And so, you took the fastest shower ever. At least, this was most definitely your personal record. Dressing your jeans slowed you down a bit though, they kept on getting stuck in your damp skin. Thankfully, you decided not to wear your skinny jeans, otherwise not even by nightfall you would be ready. After drying your hair a bit, you were somewhat ready. Though, you almost forgot the cherry on top of your look: the perfume Peter had gifted you on your birthday a few months ago. It smelled fresh, a hint of sweet but not much, you could almost miss it. He was afraid of getting something too nauseating but he nailed it. You had loved it. And he was so happy when you had assured him of his choice.

You were looking in the mirror, finished after rolling the sleeves of your shirt, when you heard a couple of knocks on the door. When you opened it, Miles greeted you with that radiating smile of his. “Hello there.” You didn’t miss a beat and saluted him accordingly, “General Kenobi.” Both of you bursted into laughter, and Ganke popped behind his friend shortly after, with a box in hand. “What did I miss? Oh, hi there.” You greeted your friend and invited them both in. They made their way into the living room and Ganke put the box in the coffee table, next to the vinyls. “I hope there’s not a bomb inside that thing.” You looked in mock suspicion at the object. “Of course there is. And it’s gonna explode when Peter isn’t late.” Ganke responded, and you and Miles snorted. “You used so many words when you could simply have said ‘never’. But seriously, what is it?” Were they supposed to bring something and you simply forgot? Miles took it upon himself to answer your curiosity. “It’s a board game. I thought it would be nice for us to play something. Didn’t wanna risk bringing UNO though, I’m not really in the mood to lose friends.” You laughed at that. “Good call. MJ would kick our asses to the curb for sure. Wouldn’t be a pretty sight”, you retorted. MJ had quite a few talents. She was good at practically everything she tried, but UNO? She was a master, no one has ever beaten her. So when these get-together’s happened, you avoided UNO. Everyone gets so tense playing against her, not that she’s competitive. Quite the contrary, actually. But after a few rounds, everyone just wants to see her loose. So, for a chill night, better go with something else.

You asked Miles to see the vinyls and choose something for the night while you and Ganke went to the kitchen. You started preparing the base of the dessert, his attention completely on you while you recited the recipe, step by step. He wanted to learn it so he could recreate it when you were not around. And then, you heard it. “I have it!” Peter Parker, using the open widow [it’s winter for fucks sake, whose idea was that?] got in your apartment, cream cheese held high above his head, a triumphant look on his face. He had told you he would be here in thirty minutes and there were still one and a half minutes left before his time was ‘up’. “Why can’t you be normal and use the door like everyone else?”, asked Ganke. Miles, completely biased, interjected, “What fun would that be?”, and went on to high-five his parter in fighting crime. Peter entered the kitchen and handed you your request, “As promised, here it is.” You looked at him and smiled, “Thanks, Parker”. You paused and considered what you were about to say next. Was it rude to ask if he wanted to shower? The man just came from a fight, that much was clear from the few bruises forming on his jaw. And he was still in his suit. He was too shy to ask such thing anyway, so you offered, “Hey, you can use the shower if you want. You know where your clothes are, too.” You kept a spare change for when he came to you in the middle of the night, completely broken after throwing punches left and right all night. Sometimes, several nights in a row. Once, you even gave him stitches. You used the cheap tequila you keep in one of your cupboards, not only to disinfect his wound but to keep your hands from trembling so much. Eventually, you got used to it, and don’t need it anymore. You also got a proper med-kit. He looked at you, considering your offer, and nodded, “Yeah, I think i’m gonna take you up on that offer actually. Thank you.” You watched him disappear into your room, and went back to the task at hand, Ganke still very attentive to your every move.

After retrieving his clothes from the drawer in your room, Peter went for the bathroom. While in there, he looked at his reflection. He was exhausted. This night with his friends was very much needed. Juggling work, which he was still getting used to, and his duties as a superhero was not an easy feat. For one night, the police would be on their own, and criminals would be very pleased with his absence. He was a bit hesitant at first. He didn’t have a night off in what felt like years. Even if he stopped his vigilante activities, crime lords wouldn’t. So he was afraid that something big would happen, that someone would need him and he wouldn’t be there. But you managed to convince him that for one single night, the police could handle it. Yuri would call if something big did happen.

He stepped in the shower and let the water wash away the problems of the day. The hot water hit him in the back just right, and for a few blissful moments, Peter Parker was relaxed.

———

You were all gathered on the table, meals already finished. You had ordered pizzas from MJ’s favourite place. Ganke sat at the head of the table. [”The most important seat for the most important person.” “This dinner is for MJ though.” “Did i stutter?”] To his left were Miles and you, and to his right were Peter and MJ. Turns out, Rio didn’t make it. She got stuck on an important meeting with her team. The rally would be in a couple of days and there were still a few things that needed to be arranged. “So MJ, how was Symkaria?” Miles asked, curious about Sable’s home country. “Weird. They have 7 different words for bathroom. I struggled a bit with the translation of a few articles to be honest”, the woman smirked. She kept on telling more stories about the country, everyone attentively listening. You silently excused yourself and went to gather everyone’s plates to take them to the kitchen, Peter getting up too and helping you with that task. Once on the other room, plates were placed on the sink and Peter went for the fridge to retrieve the dessert while you gathered some more plates and forks. When opening the drawer with the utensils, you got a bit unbalanced and one of the plates slipped and fell. Peter managed to shoot a web and get it before it hit the floor, balancing the cheesecake on the other hand. “Shit, that was close. Thanks. My grandma would kill me if I had broke it”, you said, relieved everything was still intact. “No worries. Hmm, is everything alright? You’ve been more quiet than usual. Just wanted to make sure you were okay...”, Peter asked, concern clear on his face.

Well, things were and weren’t okay. You were fine. At least, physically. But you were particularly more jealous of MJ tonight. Now she was here, present and very much real. And she was close to Peter again. You never stood a chance but at least while she was away, you could pretend you had. “Hm yeah, yeah i’m fine Parker. Don’t stress it. It’s just...” c’mon brain, think of something, anything. “Just...?”, he insisted. “Just tired. Yeah. It’s just that, really. It’s been a long day”. That was terrible, jeez. Pete saw right trough you. And today, he was feeling a little bit bolder than usual, so he pressed further, “C’mon. It’s me. Whatever it is, you can talk to me.” Well, you certainly wish you could. But not now. Not today. Not ever. This is one of those things people take with them to their grave. “Peter I-“. “Peter? What happened to Parker? Now I am worried. What’s going on?” You bit your lip. He was really putting you on the spot here. And you couldn’t come up with a good enough lie to get out of this one. You were fucked now. What the hell do you say now? Can you even outrun him? You doubt, but doesn’t really hurt to try. Peter broke the silence for you, “I think I know what’s up.” You were so stuck in your head you almost forgot he was here, right in front of you. “But I also think I may or may not embarrass myself here if I keep going...” What?

He looked behind you. The three of them were in their own world, not paying any attention to you two. The boys were still listening to MJ talk about her trip while preparing the board game for a few rounds. Snakes and ladders. Classic. Less violent than monopoly. Perfect. Peter looked back down at you. You were looking at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world. One hand griping the opposite arm, shielding yourself a bit, the other placed on the counter, maybe to keep you steady. He could see how nervous you were. He felt a little guilty for putting you on the spot like this but he had to know. It was killing him, too. People at F.E.A.S.T. had already noticed how distracted he had been acting. Some thought the wound of the passing of his aunt was still too fresh, and even though it was still fresh, that was not the reason for his lack of attention lately. It took him quite a while, but eventually he started to put two and two together. Obviously, Miles and Ganke helped a bit. They had noticed long, long ago that you looked at Peter differently. You also got visibly more happy when he was around. So, when Peter came to them for advice about his feelings for their friend, the duo made sure that Peter was well aware of the effect he had on you. Peter mustered all the courage he had and placed his hand on your chin, and you lifted your head to look at him. Not even fighting the bad guys was this hard, why was this so hard, damnit? Of course there was that chance that the three of them were idiots and read the situation completely wrong but Peter was confidant that his educated guess was right. It did make sense. After being pointed out to him, he noticed that you did act differently when it came to him. And he did too when it came to you. He hoped you could see that but maybe he didn’t show it enough for you to notice. So, he thought that there was only one way to make it undeniable clear. He decided it was time to put on his big boy pants and act on his feelings.

Being so close to him and having him look at you like that was making you even more nervous, which you didn’t think it was possible. And then you felt it. His lips on yours. You were shocked to the core, and didn’t react for a while. But when you felt Peter backing away, you put one hand on his neck and another on his shoulder and kissed him back. He noticeably relaxed when you reciprocated. He can’t believe you actually reciprocated! Was he dreaming? Maybe he was. That certainly would explain this. But when he felt your hands move to cup his cheeks, he knew this was real. This was really happening. Oh dear!

After what felt like minutes, you two separated, foreheads touching and eyes closed. Peter was the first to speak, “Wow.” Such a simple word, so much meaning behind it. You were not the only one that longed for this moment. Yearned for it. He wanted this just as much as you. “I-I don’t understand... MJ, I thought- I thought you two...” Peter finally understood your struggle. You thought they were still together. “No. Me and MJ, we're not together anymore. We broke up a few weeks ago. Long distance was not working for both of us and besides, even though it took me a while to figure it out, my heart didn’t belong to her anymore, but to someone else...” He caressed your check with his thumb while saying that last part. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it sooner, the last few weeks have been hectic so it kind of just slipped my mind.” You were completely dumbfounded. His heart belonged to someone that was not MJ? Just that thought alone kept you on a loop of incredulousness “Me?” Whispering, almost imperceptibly, too afraid to burst this bubble you were in now. But you had to ask, had to make sure you were reading this right. Even after he had literally kissed you. “Yeah, you”, he chuckled. That sound. You loved that sound. You smiled at that. And that smile only grew. Just like his.

And that was how Miles found you two. In the middle of the kitchen, embraced tightly and smiling stupidly at each other. Which made him smile too, happy for his friends. “Hm guys, where the hell is that cheesecake?” That knowing smirk didn’t leave his face after you two separated from each other, surprised by the interruption. “It’s- hmm- it’s on its way. Sorry, we got a little- a little distracted...” Peter answered, cheeks blazing red, very much like your own. “Yeah...” You meekly added. Miles left, still smiling, but not commenting on your state. He knew that catching you two, vulnerable like that, was enough on its own. You looked at Peter and he smiled.

The rest of the night was pretty much like that, just you two smiling at each other. At some point, Ganke and MJ caught onto it too, but much like Miles, preferred to keep it to themselves. Which both of you thanked them for.

———

Everyone had left by now, except for Peter. You two have been slow dancing for a while, the songs Miles chose playing soothingly in the background. It was chilly but Pete’s embrace kept you warm. He was humming the tune — this one he recognised.

You looked up at him with adoring eyes. He hasn’t felt this happy and loved in a long time. You were so comforting. So warm. So safe. Here, it felt like the bad guys could never get to him. Not when you had your arms around him like this, keeping him protected, shielding him from the cruel world outside. You were both smitten. And it was so blatantly obvious. He kissed you, a short peck on the lips, and you placed your head back in his chest, eyes closed.

You two stayed like that, swinging slowly until sleep came for the both of you. You took his hand and guided him to your room. He closed the door behind him after you lit up the faint light on the bedside table. You looked back at him as he closed the distance between you two. As he cupped your cheeks, you closed your eyes, expecting a kiss that never came. You reopened them and there he was, looking back. “Hey”, you said, almost in a whisper. “Hey” he mimicked sweetly. You let your hands take hold of the hem of his shirt and pulled. He lifted his harms up to help you with your task. Then, he slowly unbuttoned your shirt, his eyes never leaving yours. When he finished, he pushed the piece of clothing off your shoulders, ever so delicately. He took his belt and pants off, and you followed in kind. When you had nothing but your undergarments left, you took hold of his hand and pulled him into bed. You lied on your back, arms stretched, inviting him. After sweetly kissing you goodnight, he snuggled into your side, face hidden in the crook of your neck, and you wrapped your arms around him, one hand going in his hair and massaging it soothingly. “You smell nice”, Peter commented sleepily, making a smile reach your features for what felt like the thousandth time that night. Not that you minded, at all. Both of you went to sleep, happy and content for finally being in each other’s arms — exactly where you belonged.

Peter Parker never slept so soundly has he did that night. And neither did you.
