Was totally meant to post this on Halloween but LOL SORRY
Hope you enjoy this, my darlings! I had heaps of fun writing this and exploring the OFC! I’m always a sucker for a little (long) fluffy Petey fic.

Original story by sarcastically-defensive17
High school was an atrocity of many forms.
The cliques, the bitching, the stress, the finals. But most of all, Flash Thompson.
In a previous life, Flash would have ruled the roost as a self-righteous jock who believed all should bow to him because he could throw a ball 20 yards. In this life, Flash was a brainiac. He used intelligence as if it was his super power, earning him popularity and allowing his vindictive ego to flourish until even the popular kids believed they should bow to him.
In truth, Flash was no more intelligent than any other averagely gifted student at Midtown Science High. His intelligence quivered in the shadow of Peter Parker’s and Flash knew so; hence, sweet, lovable Peter - with his soft puppy eyes and his beautiful brown curls - became a target for Flash’s childish jokes.
The only person who would call Flash out on his bullshit was the one person he was afraid of; his twin sister, Edith.
Edith Thompson. Short, beautiful olive skin, a sarcastic smile that could make anybody flinch, kind eyes, haphazardly chopped brown hair and a bored expression that she often directed towards her brother - who was younger by 16 and a half minutes.
She had often stood up for Peter, showing him and his friends nothing but kindness. Edith was part of the popular clique, and while she enjoyed it, she hated the people. She didn’t hate her brother, but she hated the way he had grown to act in the presence of othersl. In actuality, he was a kind person, empathetic and helpful.
Edith was often known as the mean one in their family, as she rarely allowed somebody to hold something over her. That was evidenced when her uncle told her to focus less on her studies and more on learning to cook. Her uncle no longer allows himself to hold a conversation with Edith anymore, for fear of being ridiculed for his growing misogyny, historic views and all round “douche-baginess”.
But alas, Flash was a man full of secrets, and he used his popularity and viper tongue to disguise his anger and fear of those secrets being found out. As a result, Edith found herself looking out for Peter Parker and his friends.
Peter on the other hand, had no idea why Edith Thompson, one of the popular kids and sister to the head honcho, Flash Thompson, cared enough about his existence to call her brother out.
He admired the woman. He wouldn’t go as far as saying that he had a crush on her - because he knew a popular girl was far above his punching weight - but he did find her to be sweet, generous, beautiful inside and out. He was completely enamored by her.
He also couldn’t deny how his heart slightly skipped a beat when she personally invited him, Ned, Betty and Mj to the Halloween party her brother was holding.
She leaned against his locker one day after class, blocking him from opening it, sending a wolffish grin to himself and the small group of friends that were trailing beside him. As soon as he felt her gaze on him, he blushed uncontrollably.
It only made her grin widen.
“Well, if it isn’t my favourite group of smart people,” she drawled. “You busy Halloween night?”
Peter gaped like a fish, confused at the question.
“Well I’m stuck being dragged by my little sister to strangers houses so she can do exactly the opposite of not taking candy from a stranger, so I’m out of whatever you’re planning.” MJ sounded bored with the idea. They got on like a house on fire, and both were happy to call the other a friend. They shared their art class, and the two would often spend the time complaining about anything they could think of.
“We’re going to a haunted house,” Ned chirped, Betty beaming from his side. The two were deeply immersed in the honeymoon stage. It was sickening but also heartwarming to see the two so enamored with one another. Edith couldn’t help but smile as she nodded at his words.
Within milliseconds her eyes were on Peter, watching him all but squirm under her gaze. She quirked an eyebrow at him, waiting for an answer.
None came. She sighed, “Come on Petey. I’m 0 for 3 at the moment. I need somebody to hang out with while my brother and his goons overrun the house with their lame halloween party,” she snatched his hand into hers, holding it in both of her smaller appendages and smiling brightly at him.
He brought his eyes up to hers. He didn’t want to go to the party, but he couldn’t think of any excuse to tell her otherwise. He couldn’t exactly say that he was spending the night on patrol as Spider-Man. Instead he simply said, “Uh, yeah sure. I’m free.”
She pressed a kiss to his knuckles, watching the redness spread to the tips of his ears. “That’s why you’re my favourite - sorry MJ.” She dropped his hand, pulling a piece of paper out of her pocket. On it, was scribbled a number, and an address. “Text me later and i’ll tell you what time.”
She left with a wink, beaming as she walked away. She genuinely enjoyed the company of the four friends, and while she was hoping that more of them would be free to hang out with her, she couldn’t deny the butterflies that flooded her stomach at the thought of Peter coming.
Behind her, Peter watched her figure retreat into the crowd of people, faintly seeing her hand come out and smack her brother on the back of the head as she walked past him.
Ned and MJ were looking at him cautiously, the blush on his skin still not fading. He had said all of 5 words to her, and even then, that was a feat.
“Dude, if you come out of that party having not confessed your intense crush on her, I think I may die from the second hand embarrassment I feel whenever she’s around you,” MJ laughed, rolling her shoulders as if to brush the feeling off. “Honestly, I feel like I need a shower to clean all of your oozing adoration.”
Peter snapped out of his gaze, turning to glare at the woman. “What are you saying? I don’t have a crush on Edith Thompson! She’s Flash’s-“
“Oh my god, we know she is Flash’s sister, but she obviously has a thing for you! She kissed you!” Ned added.
“She kissed my hand!”
“She wanted you to go hang out with her,” Betty interjected, distracted with her phone.
“She wanted all of us to go!”
MJ sighed, “And you’re nervous about hanging out with her.”
Peter groaned loudly, attracting the attention of a few passerby’s as he pulled his locker open a bit too hard. He tried to ignore the sound of the creaking metal. He was definitely nervous. He was excited, but terrified.
“Okay, fine. Maybe I am a little nervous.” He tilted his neck back, lowering his voice as Flash walked past. “She’s Edith. Shes popular and I won’t have any back up!”
Betty looked at Peter with sympathy, feeling sorry for the man. She directed the same look at Ned. Ned’s eyes widened as he realized what exactly Betty was thinking.
With a sigh he turned to his best friend, “What if Betty and I come with you? We can go to the haunted house later.”
Peters protest was met with a flick on the forehead from MJ. “I’ll be there too. Once the demon goes to bed, I’ll escape to your rescue.”
“So you have backup for when you want some alone time with Miss Thompson,” Betty winked at him, smirking at the groan that escaped his lips and the sound of his forehead clanging against a shelf in his locker following by a grumble of pain.
~~~~~
The Thompson house was well kept. Responding in Midtown Manhattan, it was exquisite like the properties flanking it. Walking distance to Central Park, close enough to school that Flash didn’t need to drive, but instead preferred to draw attention in his fathers Audi. Both Edith and Flash had their license, their birthdays a few months before Peter’s, but the elder twin preferred to walk to school or ride her bike.
Peter had never seen the house before. He knew that some people in his class had fancy houses - Liz Allen’s house was evidence enough - but with the way Flash Thompson held himself, Peter thought their house would be a mansion.
The party had begun already. The sight of various of his classmates downing liquid from red cups, grinding against one another, dressed in both elaborate, and barely obvious Halloween costumes.
He felt as if he stuck out like a very sore thumb. He couldn’t think of a costume, so he made the bold decision of wearing his Spider-Man suit, with a basic pair of jeans on top. He forwent the mask, but deeply regretted his decision. As soon as he walked in the door, Flash saw him.
He was sitting on a large lounge, people fawning around him. He was dressed as Frankenstein’s monster.
There were cups set out on the table in front of them, people bouncing quarters off of the table as a drinking game.
Flash smirked at Peter’s arrival. “Hey Penis Parker! Did you get that suit from your Stark Internship?” He mocked. “Should have picked up a Black Widow one-“
Edith smacked him in the back of the head as she walked past the lounge. “Shut it.”
She had decided on a vampire costume, which was really a large band shirt tucked into a leather mini skirt. She had fake blood dripping from her mouth, down her neck, and completed the look with vampire fangs.
She looked divine, but Peter wouldn’t let himself admit it.
She approached him, smiling a toothy welcome, showing the false fangs in the process. “How you doing, Petey? Thanks for coming.”
He struggled to bring his eyes up from her mouth, her smile was enamoring. “No-No problem. Happy to be here.”
She nodded towards the rest of the house, signaling for him to follow. She was wearing black vans, showing her short stature.
“I like your costume. Like a laidback Spider-Man.” She surveyed him young and down, and Peter tried not to shrink under her gaze. The blush was evident. “You look hot.”
“Oh! Um, you too?” He sputtered, eyes wide, more of a question than an admission. Edith simply chuckled, sending him a wink as she led him to the kitchen.
She poured herself a glass of water, preferring to stay sober to make sure Flash didn’t ruin their house. She was raised with expectations of taking care of him when he got himself into trouble, so it was the least she could do to stay on top of his nuisance behavior.
“What’s your poison tonight, peter?” She asked, sipping her own drink. “You getting onto alcohol or are you gonna take the path of the sober loner with me?”
He had always pictured Edith to be a party girl - after all, she was Flash’s sister. “I’m fine with just water, thanks. I don’t drink.”
A few of Flash’s friends made their way to the kitchen, cracking jokes among themselves and eyeing Edith and Peter. The latter did his best to ignore them, feeling more uncomfortable being there by the second, but he was surprised to see Edith looking as out of place as he did.
One of them, a tall, slightly buff man with a 5 o’clock shadow brushed up against her back as he went to get a cup. He eyed peter with a smirk, leaning down to Edith ear. He made no effort to cover his whisper, “When you get sick of this nerdy weasel, you should come find me. I’m happy to show you what a real man is when he disappoints.” The unnamed jock blew a kiss at Peter before slapping Edith harshly on the behind.
Peter stepped forward to punch the asshole, but his chance was taken when Edith grabbed his wrist and put him in a chicken wing hold. The douchebags friends gasped and jeered, watching the 5”3 girl throw their friend against the kitchen counter.
Edith flicked her hair over her shoulder and leaned down to his ear, her vampire fangs shifting her appearance to a more threatening vibe.
“Rule number one of being in my house: don’t ever fucking touch me. Rule number 2: don’t overestimate how much of a good time you can bring to the table, and rule number three,” she turned to look at peter, “A real man doesn’t put his hands on another person, and you are not even half the man Peter is. So keep your hands to yourself, baby.”
She let him go, grabbing her drink and Peter’s arm and rushing out of the kitchen.
“Edith?” He asked, his worry growing the more she pulled him along without a word. He didn’t know where they were going. “Edith, are you okay?”
She dragged him outside, to the backyard specifically. They walked until they reached an old wooden staircase. It led to a treehouse to which the years have not been kind to. Peter was skeptical and didn’t quite trust the wood to hold any weight, let alone that of two people.
She went to drag him up the stairs but he wouldn’t move, pulling her back slightly. “Edith, are you okay? What happened with that guy seemed like it was about more than his disgusting attitude.”
She couldn’t deny how innocently cute peter looked. There was faint lighting, the moon providing most of the source, and the concern in his eyes shone true. It had been the first time he spoke to her all night without hesitance its nervousness lacing his tone. Perhaps it was the first time since they started at school together.
She didn’t particularly want to open up, but out of all people, she desperately wanted to know Peter, and for him to know her. Her feelings for him were too strong.
A soft sigh left her stained lips, “Just... cmon up and I’ll tell you, okay?”
She started walking up the stairs, the creaking of the old wood familiar on her ears.
“Are you sure it’s safe?” Peter frowned, brown curls falling over his forehead. “It sounds like it’s going to break any second-“
She turned back to face him, her hair, almost as short as his own, flying around her. “There is nothing wrong with this tree house. If it’s going to break then you can just use your spider detector thingy and let me know.”
“Yeah you have a good point,” he nodded, moving towards the staircase, but then realisation of her words set in. He snapped his head back up her, only to see her walking through the door of the treehouse with a smirk on her face. He took the stairs two at a time, ignoring the exhausted groans that followed each thudding footstep. “What did you just say?”
She had made herself comfortable on a bean bag that looked far more new than the surrounding wood did. Her dainty hand reached across and flicked a switch, and within seconds almost two dozen fairy lights shone in the space.
“Hey MTV, welcome to my crib,” she grinned, dorkish glee in her eyes ignoring the fear on his face. His brows were high, his face pale. “Okay, okay, fine. I notice things, and one of those things, is that you’re a badass superhero.” She was picking at her fingers, suddenly so aware that Peter may be furious at her for finding out his secret.
“What? No! I’m just Peter. I can barely walk without tripping over my own feet, how could I be Spider-Man-“
She sighed loudly, interrupting his rambling. She raised a brow, trying not to smile. “I have an internship with Stark Industries. I’m a lab assistant, getting credit and extra-curricula’s for college apps.” She shook her head. “I got curious as to why I never saw you there, and I asked Tony Stark about you. He said he had never heard of you before.”
“That doesn’t mean that I’m Spider-Man!” He was visibly nervous, shaking hands and gaping mouth. Edith found it adorable. “Tony just works a lot. I don’t work with him all of the time so he wouldn’t remember me over people that are more important-“
“Not to mention that you came to school one day with no glasses, no inhaler, you’re buff as hell, and you’re literally wearing an authentic Spider-Man suit.” She rose from the bean bag, walking close enough that she could press her hand against his chest. His heartbeat was static underneath her palm. “Unless this is like, the best replica ever made, you’re Spider-Man. I’m kind of obsessed with him - well, you.”
“You’re obsessed with me?” He whispered, the smell of her perfume filling his senses.
She lifted her hand to his chin, taking him by surprise before she turned his head slightly to the left. His eyes locked into a wall full of newspapers where the headline focused on a superhero.
“I’ve been documenting since Iron Man came onto the scene in ‘08.” He turned his head back to her, but her eyes were turned down. He could faintly see a pink tinge in the tips of her ears.
He nodded softly, breathing out a heavy inhale. He tried to force his fear to subside, “Okay. You know my secret. I’m Spider-Man.” He stepped around her, careful not to touch her. His feet carried him to the other bean bag. It was a dark blue colour, a contrast against the red one that Edith made her way to. He guessed they were for her and Flash. “So, since were opening up, what’s your secret?”
Her laugh was melodic, her eyes troublesome. “You can’t handle my secrets, Petey.”
“Try me.” He smiled back at her. Her laughter was infectious. “I want to get to know Edith Thompson as more than the girl who led me to a terrifying tree house just to spill my biggest secret to me.”
She snorted, “I’m not sure there’s much more to me than that.” Her fangs were still in, fitting perfectly against her teeth. Her smile was dazzling, and the feel of her dark eyes on his face felt like he was being watched by a thousand eyes. He was starting to like the feeling. “Alright”, she crossed her leg over the other. “Speak the questions that weigh on your mind and I shall answer.”
“That douche in the kitchen...” he trailed off, watching her carefully. She didn’t bat an eyelid.
“Ex-boyfriend. Convinced to date me by Flash, expected to use me for sex, didn’t like that I have a brain in my head, I developed feelings, he cheated on me, the rest is history,” she smiled small. There was an air of unease around her, it was full of fear. She rarely had the chance to talk to people in this way. “That the answer you were looking for?”
He huffed through a smile, leaning forward onto his elbows. Almost all of his previous nerves had dissipated. After all, Edith Thompson was now one of the few people who knew of his own biggest secret. How much worse could things get? “I don’t really know what to expect from you, Edith, so yeah, I guess it will suffice.”
“What do you mean by that?!” Her voice raided in pitch, eyes crinkling with a smile.
“I mean,” he cleared his throat. “You’re an enigma. You’re popular, you’re intelligent, kind, beautiful, you stand up for people-“
“You think I’m beautiful?” She winked at him, watching as a slight blush rose on his cheeks and he stammered through some words once again.
“I, Uh, I just don’t really get why you talk to people like me, when you have so many people clinging to any bit of attention you give them.” He wrung his hands together, nervous for the answer. The thought had been going over his mind for so long.
Edith Thompson was the most popular woman in school. She had many friends, yet she chose to talk to Peter and his band of outcasts friends. He was the butt of all jokes to her twin brother, yet she gave him the time of day.
It was hard for his brain to completely comprehend that he was sitting in an old treehouse, on the Thompson residence, with Edith Thompson.
“I’m not popular,” she laughed softly. She looked almost sad, but the micro-expresssion was quickly hidden by an empty gaze and the same smile she had plastered on her face since they sat down. “I’m surrounded by people who want to be friends with my brother. I stick around him out of obligation, not desire.” She looked out the small window that was next to them. Of all the things on the property, the treehouse was the most normal. Edith and Flash had built it with their father when they were younger, and Edith got her wish for it to be as average as possible. “I love my brother, but living in his shadow is lonely. You and your friends are the only people who actually go out of their way to talk to me about more than my brother.”
“Then why don’t you just ditch him? His friends are all assholes anyways. Come join the cool club,” the joke inflated his confidence and he found himself winking before he could stop himself.
She snorted, leaning forward slightly. There was something about peter that made her want to open up. He was kind, inside and out.
“If only it were that simple,” she replied, allowing the vague response to linger in Peter’s mind. “Besides, if I weren’t around him, then I wouldn’t be able to smack him every time he’s a dick to you.”
There was a pregnant silence. It was then that the reality of the situation set in. He was at the house of the person who bullied him constantly. The sister of his bully was sitting in front of him, knowing his biggest secret and had confessed a need to defend him whenever her brother was a dick to him. Shame visibly washed over him.
He hung his head. “Y’know, you don’t have to do that.” He focused on a splintering piece of wood on the wall. Despite the damage it still looked stable. “I can defend myself.”
Edith furrowed her brows, “I-I didn’t mean to offend you, Petey. I didn’t mean to say that I was protecting you, it’s just, I know that Eugene is my responsibility to keep in line is all.” In the middle of her sentence she had stretched her body over the gap between them to lay her hand on Peter’s arm to reassure him. “It’s not the first time he has scared somebody away from me.”
“You won’t scare me away,” he smiled at her, almost sadly. “If anything, I would scare you away. I don’t have many friends outside of my little group.”
Friend. The word stuck in her mind, taunting her. She had thought her feelings were obvious to peter. She had constantly felt the need to make sure he was okay, and she routinely protected him from her douche of a brother. She was absolutely smitten with him, and she had been for a long time.
“When Eugene and I were younger, my mother told me that I need to look out for him. He tends to get himself in to trouble out of a constant need for validation. It’s been like that when our dad moved out, but dad tends to favour Eugene because he is doing well in school and has become popular.” Peter’s eyes widened. He had no idea that the Thompson parents were separated let alone that Flash had underlying triggers for his behaviour. Edith raised hair hands, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not excusing him at all. He’s an asshole and that’s the bottom line, but... I don’t know. I just understand him.
“But, he has also shown a tendency to get jealous when a man comes into my life that he doesn’t approve of. He worries that I will leave like dad did.” It was Edith’s turn to have a sad smile. “Whenever I’ve found somebody on my own, he’s made it impossible. And now that I’ve found somebody, I’m worried that he will scare you away.”
Her eyes turned down, not meeting his. The silence was full of electric tension and she fought with her growing regret. She had wanted peter to know how she felt about him, but she hadn’t wanted to pressure him. She wanted to explain her reasons for fearing the loss of him, and why she tends to jump to his defense in the face of Flash.
Peter was quiet for only a minute, but the time it took for the realization of her words to set in felt like hours for the both of them. But when he processed her words effectively, his heart began to race.
Edith Thompson had just confessed that she had feelings for him. His mind was racing with two possibilities: 1. She had figured out that he was Spider-Man and wanted to use him to further her popularity, or 2. Edith was every bit as kind and amazing as he though her to be, and she simply had feelings for him that she wouldn’t pursue.
She watched his hands move. His deft fingers seemed to run along the black spider emblem on his chest, and she could guess where his mind was traveling.
“I’ve been worried about that for a while, Petey.” Never has he seen Edith seen so shy. “Since middle school really. Long before you were Spider-Man and I was in with the popular group.”
Her words corrected his thoughts, and his eyes widened more than they both thought possible. She had always admired his large eyes, needed to stop herself from staring into them multiple times.
She could faintly see the tips of his ears tinge pink once again in the dull light.
Peter knew his next words, but they came as a shock to Edith. “I’m not going anywhere, Edith.”
Her head shaped up, her eyes searching his face from behind her haphazardly chopped bangs.
She allowed a small smile to occupy her lips, slowly stretching larger.
“I really like you,” he whispered to her, leaning forward to grab one of her smaller hands.
Her smile enlarged, showing her teeth in a vampire fanged-grin, “I really like you too, Petey.”
“Do- um,” he looked at his hand where his fingers traced over her knuckles. “Is it alright if I kiss you?”
Her heart felt a flutter at his soft spoken question and as an answer, she leaned forward to close the gap between them, her lips caressing his with such a gentle touch.
All that could be heard between them was the mingling of their breath and the bass or the music from the house.
For the first time, Edith Thompson and Peter Parker sat together, in one another’s arms. They spoke about almost anything, enjoying the company of one another. Peter had even agreed to let Edith take him on a date. They hadn’t even noticed their friends wandering around the party in search of the two of them.
“So...” he began nearly two hours after their original conversation. She hummed in reply. “How did your brother get all of the teachers to only call him ‘Flash’ instead of Eugene?”
She barked out a laugh, not quite knowing the answer herself.
“And why the fuck did he decide to be called ‘Flash’?!”

I’ve Made A Huge Mistake {4/?}
Peter Parker x Reader, Quentin Beck x Reader
Summary: Peter just wanted to enjoy his trip to Europe, maybe even confess his feelings to his best friends.But along came a mysterious new hero to ruin those plans. Peter and his class are aged up and in college.
Warnings: Violence in later chapters, manipulation, age gap
Word Count: 1893
Series Masterlist
Main Masterlist
The holiday became a whole lot less fun overnight. Originally it was meant to be a break for Peter, away from being a superhero, away from avenging, away from all his responsibilities. But, like always, some otherworldly being came and fucked that all up for him. And Peter was supposed to confess his feelings for her in some romantic candle-lit restaurant in Venice, or at the top of the Eiffel Tower. But Beck came along, swept her off her feet and fucked that all up for him. Even though Fury had said he didn’t have to join the mission, Peter knew, in the back of his head, that some way or somehow he would get dragged into the situation again. There would be another world-ending threat that would inevitably pop up in another city, one that Peter couldn’t ignore.
The two of them returned from Fury’s base in the early hours of the morning. She was incredibly giddy, a grin plastered across her face for the whole journey. He’d seen her get like this before, the time her 8th-grade crush asked her to the winter dance, or when Peter scored them tickets to a Star Wars premiere. It was the most beautiful expression Peter could ever be graced with - when he caused it he felt on top of the world, when another guy caused it he fell into a pit of jealousy. He tried his best to be happy for her, she was over the moon, Beck seemed like a good guy. He didn’t control her, he had no right to dictate who she could and couldn’t date. But he just couldn’t, he could never feel content if she was with someone else. So he let her talk about this perfect guy, acknowledging her ramblings just enough to not be rude: because that’s what a best friend does. And he’d rather be her friend than be nothing at all.
“Are you sure you’re good?” Peter asked Ned the next morning as they waited for the bus.
“Seriously, don’t worry, getting tranqued by Nick Fury is probably the coolest thing to ever happen to me.” Ned reassured him, way too positive about getting knocked out. Peter laughed nervously at his response.
“I’m just happy I don’t have to go to Prague.” Peter said as they absentmindedly did their handshake.
“Good news,” Mr Harrington said, bursting out of the hotel door, “we’re going to Prague.” He announced.
“Prague?” Peter asked, along with a few of the other students. Of course Fury would interfere.
“Yeah, tour company upgraded us. You should've heard me on the phone with them. I really gave them hell. All I heard was crying.” The teacher continued as a much bigger, sleeker black bus turned the corner. “Look, our upgraded ride.”
“Peter, what’s going on?”
“I think Nick Fury just hijacked our vacation.” One of the agents Peter saw last night stood outside the bus, purposely ignoring Mr Harrington’s feeble attempts at an introduction.
Once the group was on the bus Peter pulled out the case Fury gave him the night before. He opened it to reveal a pair of glasses, identical to the ones Mr Stark used to wear. Peter stared at them, unsure whether to feel happy at the sight of them or to burst into tears over his late-mentor. A note on the front read ‘For the next Tony Stark, say EDITH’. He read it aloud as he placed them on his face.
“Stand by for a retinal and biometric scan.” The glasses lit up. Peter watched curiously as a model of his face appeared in front of his eyes. “Scan accepted.”
“Hello?” Peter asked, a series of questions filling his head.
“Hello, Peter. I am EDITH, Tony Stark's augmented-reality security and defence system. I have access to all of Tony's protocols.” The AI explained.
“Cool.” Really Peter, he thought to himself, even with all the questions spirling in his mind all he could say was cool.
“Would you like to see what I can do? EDITH stands for “Even dead, I’m the hero.” Tony loves his acronyms.”
“Yeah, he did.” Peter laughed affectionately. At least he could have this link to the late, great Iron Man.
“I have access to the entire Stark Global Security network including multiple defence satellites as well as back doors to all major telecommunication networks.” She continued to fill him in. Peter glanced around the bus, multiple views of people’s phone screens popping up. It ranged from students begging their parents for more money to Mr Dell searching up witchcraft. So much for science professors.
“Is she texting Beck?” Peter asked before he fully realised what he was saying, “no, no, that wrong.” He said, sinking down into his seat. He had to respect her potential relationship, no matter how much it pained him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Betty and Ned sat next to each other, repeatedly texting ‘I miss you’ to each other. He grimaced at how completely cliche they were. The bus soon pulled into a village centre, allowing a quick toilet break. Flash left first, filming a video as he continued his attempts for insta fame. Peter got off last, only being able to step off the bus before he was stopped and instructed to go into a building opposite from him. Inside stood a tall blonde woman dressed near-identically to the agent driving their bus.
“Hi, I’m Peter.” He introduced himself nervously.
“Close the door.” She said firmly, her Eastern-European accent thick. He turned, immediately obeying her, honestly slightly intimidated by her. “Take off your clothes.”
“Excuse me.” Not exactly where he had expected that to go.
“You told Fury Spider-Man cannot be seen in Europe. So I made you this, another suit.” She handed him an all-black suit.
“Um, thanks. I’m sure it fits fine.” He replied awkwardly.
“Take off your clothes.” She said bluntly.
“Okay,” He whispered, unzipping his pants and pulling them down, “this is embarrassing.” He tried to alleviate some of the tension. Suddenly Flash walked into the building. His face went pale, scared he would assume the worst.
“Damn Parker, you got a hooker, didn’t think you had it in you.” Flash joked, taking a picture of the scene in front of him before walking back outside. The woman pulls out a gun, aiming it carefully at the back of Flash’s head.
“No, no, no, please don’t shoot,” Peter said in a panic as he made the agent lower her gun. “I’ll sort it out.” He grabbed the new suit, and ran out of the building, pulling his pants back up as he did so. “Flash, Flash, stop!”
“Honestly Parker, I can’t tell if I should make fun of you or congratulate you. That takes a lot of balls.” He continued to laugh.
“That, that wasn’t what it looked like.”
“Then what was it?” Peter opened his mouth, attempting to respond, but nothing came out. He ended up opening it and closing it over and over again, looking like some fish stuck on the land.
“Exactly.” Flash replied, walking towards the bus, “Wait,” he turned back, a smirk on his face, “What do you think she’d think about this?”
“What do you mean?” Peter asked cautiously.
“That her best friend, little Penis Parker, is secretly a perv.” Flash smiled as somehow more colour drained from his face. “Bet she’d love that.” He said, stepping onto the bus. Peter panicked, running back to his seat and shoving EDITH onto his face.
“Hey Peter, how can I help you?” Peter began to mumble an explanation, “I’m having difficulty hearing.” EDITH responded.
“There’s this guy, Flash Thompson, he’s got this photo of me and -”
“Is Flash Thompson a target?”
“A target?” Peter turned to see Flash, he had the picture up, ready to send the photo to the rest of his class. He knew he could tell her the truth about the situation, she’d understand, but still, he wanted to keep her from seeing it. “Yeah, he’s a target.”
“Target confirmed, initiating strike.”
“Initiating what now?” Peter asked, sitting up slightly straighter in his seat. Peter watched a map appear in front of his eyes showing an attack drone being released from a Stark satellite. “Shit.” He immediately stood up, out of his seat. He made his way over to where Flash was sat, all while keeping an eye on the ever-nearing drone.
“Cool glasses Parker,” Flash said, grabbing them off Peter’s face, “when d’you become so rich.”
“Flash, please, give ‘em back.” Peter went to take them back but Flash kept batting his hands away. “Flash, I’m serious.” He said, going for Flash’s face, accidentally knocking him out in the process. Peter stepped back, shocked. Sometimes he forgot his own strength. He brushed it off, sliding the glasses back onto his face. “I’m so sorry, EDITH don’t kill Flash.”
“Peter do you want me to call off the drone strike on Flash.” The AI asked.
“Did you just punch Flash?” A classmate asked at the same time.
“No.” Peter answered quickly. But EDITH had mistaken that for him answering her question.
“He’s knocked out.” Another shouted.
“Look, baby mountain goats.” Peter pointed out the window, successfully distracting the group. As the drone went to fire Peter jumped up, pushing through the roof window, shooting his webs out. Luckily for him enough were caught on the drone to disable it, making it crash down the mountain beside them. He landed, terrified anyone saw what he’d just done and how close he’d come to killing a classmate.
“Peter, I know you think we haven’t noticed,” Betty began causing Peter’s eyes to widen, “but your new look, I love it. Right babe?”
“Yeah, it’s super classy.” Ned agreed. Peter let out a sigh of relief, collapsing into a seat next to his other best friend.
“What the hell was that?” She scolded him before he could properly relax.
“I may or may not have almost killed Flash.” He was slightly worried that he had pissed her off as she continued to stare dumbfoundedly at him. Soon he was reassured by her bursting out laughing.
“You’re a fucking idiot Peter.”
“Well, you know -”
“No, no, you are genuinely the biggest dumbass I’ve ever met. How did you ever do that?”
“Um, these,” He took off the glasses, handing them to her, “they’re what Mr Stark gave me. Turns out saying someone's target sets a military level drones on them.” She couldn’t stop laughing. “I’m sure he’d be real proud of me.”
“Don’t,” Her voice turned more serious, “he obviously trusted and believed in you so much. And he’s hardly someone who never made mistakes. He’s the least perfect avenger, and still, he achieved more than anyone else in the world could even dream of. He would’ve expected to make hundreds of mistake and fuck up time and time again. But he wouldn’t have given you these if he think you could clean up all those messes.”
“Thanks.” He whispered a slight confidence boost after that little speech.
“I’m serious,” she said, resting her head on his shoulder, “you’re pretty fucking awesome Parker.” And there was the ego boost. They stayed there in comfortable silence for a while, both perfectly content. Not long after she began to uncontrollably laugh again. “You almost killed Flash fucking Thompson.”

Really Parker? (Peter Parker)
Summary: (Y/N) and Peter never really got along, but what happens when someone asks them to prom and Peter hates the proposal?
Warnings: ANGST, swearing, a little bit of fluff towards the end, not much else
Pairings: Peter Parker x Reader(gender-neutral); Enemies to lovers AU
A/N: Okay so someone asked this and I accidentally deleted it 😬 I’m so sorry but they gave me an enemy to lover prompt for Tom or Peter. I chose Peter cause that’s what I got inspiration for. Also, this took SO long I’m sorry lol. It really got my creative mind flowing though, so thanks to whoever asked for this! Enjoy! (gif credit here)

Peter Parker. That name made your skin crawl. To your father, on the other hand, he was the kid he never had. You were a prodigy, just like Tony. You know basically everything about physics and mechanics, and yet your father still told you that you couldn’t graduate early. Which left you going to Midtown High until you were 18.
And Peter Parker? He was there every day, ‘checking on you’ on your father's behalf. You felt like he was babysitting you. Like he was only there to annoy you. Because he did, with every sarcastic comment or stupid joke here or there, you wanted to pounce on him and tell him to shut up. He talks too much, he acts like he knows everything, and your father couldn’t get enough of him.
Anytime you’ve been rude to Peter or told him to fuck off, he just brushed it off and went back to being his chipper self. That’s what pissed you off the most. No one is ever that happy. And everyone has a button to push. It seemed Peter knew exactly where yours were, but he knew without trying to know. You couldn’t find Peter’s button for three years, and then one day, you found it. And even though you weren’t expecting the outcome... you didn’t mind it either.
“Yeah, so Flash asked me to prom last night. I think I’m going to go with him. I told him I had to think about it.” You rambled you MJ, showing her the picture of the texts. You could feel Peter’s eyes on you. “Can I help you with something Parker?” You asked.
“Flash asked you to prom and you’re going to say yes?” He asked, furrowing his eyebrows. “He’s not that much of a gentleman.” He muttered under his breath, but you could still hear it.
“That’s not exactly your business, is it?” You asked, leaning closer to him. “Endless you’re getting intel or something for my dad, which if you are, go on, ask your questions.”
“Really? Then yeah... it’s intel.” He said, scratching the back of his neck.
“God, you’re so gullible.” You said, rolling your eyes. “No, it’s not okay you idiot. My dad doesn’t need to know about my love life. And neither do you.” You said, glancing at him up and down.
“Well I’m just saying, how did he even ask you?” He asked.
You glanced over to MJ and sighed. “By text, but it was cute, he sent a picture.” You said and slide your phone over for Peter to see.
“By text? He didn’t even show up at your home? It’s not like it’s hard to see.” Peter said, making you frown.
“Sorry Parker, not everyone can swing across the city to come and see their friends.” You jabbed, making him frown. “What? Don’t like me talking about your other life?” You said.
“Talk about it all you want, just don’t shout it to the world,” Peter said, pushing the phone back towards you, getting up. “I’m just saying if he actually came and did something for you in person, you would’ve said yes right away.” He said.
“Yeah? And how do you know me so well again? Oh, that’s right, you spy on me for my dad.” You said, crossing your arms and leaning back in the chair.
Peter just rolled his eyes and walked away. You finally thought you knew what his button was— Spider-Man. You could tell he got annoyed as soon as you mentioned his other life.

“Peter seriously... can you drop it? I don’t need relationship advice from you.” You said, hiking your backpack on your back as you walked to the train with him. Today Happy couldn’t pick you up and your dad was out Avenging, so he told you to take the train with Peter.
“I’m not going to drop it. Flash asked you to prom over text. He didn’t even have the guts to be rejected in person.” Peter pointed out, holding onto the bar.
“First of all, I didn’t reject him yet. And second of all, I don’t like it when people embarrass me with public displays. He seems to know me better than you.” You said as you leaned against the bar and raised your eyebrows.
“Really? Because your dad threw you a huge surprise birthday party in the middle of Central Park and you loved it.” He said, copying your raised eyebrows.
You were going to say something but stopped yourself. “Okay, well I didn’t need a huge promposal... this is cute anyway.” You said, shrugging as you glanced down to the text Flash sent.
“Will you make me the richest guy in the world and go to prom with me?” Peter read out the text. “That’s not even a good tag. He could’ve referenced something about Iron Man, or anything other than being rich.” He said, rolling his eyes.
“Yeah? What would you do? Sling up webs to spell out prom with a question mark?” You asked. You smirked as you saw Peter tense up. “Or swing me to the Empire State and have EDITH spell it out with lasers?” You teased.
“(Y/N) seriously, you gotta be quiet.” He said, not wanting you to say anymore. “Someone could be listening,” Peter said as he glanced around.
“No one is going to hear Parker. No one listens to you speak.” You said, chewing on the inside of your lip. He was cute when he was protective...
“They listen to you, you’re a Stark.” He said. You rolled your eyes and got off of the train at your stop. “Thanks for the advice Parker, but I think I can handle my dating life without your help.” You said, adjusting your bag on your back.
“Dating life?” Peter muttered and furrowed his eyebrows. “You’re not dating-“ he started but stopped when the doors closed. “Flash.” He muttered and looked down at his feet. Peter did know you, and he wanted to prove that to you.
He hopped off at the next stop, finding an empty alleyway to change into his suit. Peter knew that you teased him for it, but swinging through the city was the thing that made his heart beat faster. Well, that and whenever you laughed... talked... walked by... glanced his way. He could tell that you didn’t necessarily like him, but he had a tingle that he could change that.

Peter let out a breath as he got to the building across from yours, shaking his hands and feet before swinging over to your window. He knocked on it gently, making you jump in surprise. Peter saw you roll your eyes and mutter something under your breath before telling FRIDAY to let him in. He crawled into the room from the window, hopping off it with a backflip.
“Come to the roof with me?” He asked, slipping his mask off once the window had shut and went into dark mode. “I want to show you something I think you’re going to like.” He said, rubbing the back of his neck.
You could tell he was nervous, and it wasn’t the normal kind of Peter nervous where he was just jumpy all the time. It was the kind of nervous he got around your dad. “Are you going to kill me or something?” You asked. “You seem jumpier than usual.” You said and walked out of your room. You waited for him, knowing that he was changing out of his spidey suit.
“You’re saying I’m jumpy? You practically hit your head on the ceiling when I knocked on the window. And that’s saying something...” He said and a small smirk came to his lips at the look you gave him. “The ceilings are high.” He finished.
You walked to the elevator and pushed the button to go up, waiting for it as Peter joined you. “You didn’t answer my question. Are you going to kill me?” You asked. “‘Come to the roof with me’ doesn’t sound very inviting... with you... Especially because you can sling a web anywhere and swing off.” You said, walking into the elevator as the doors opened.
“You have bracelets that expand into body armor. The last way I would try to kill you is by pushing you off of your father’s building.” He said, leaning against the side of the elevator as it rose to the roof. “Well, that’s not the last way but it’s certainly not the smartest.” He corrected himself.
“Are you telling me that you actively think of ways to kill me? FRIDAY hears that and she just may alert my dad.” You said, laughing at the way his eyes widened and he shook his head rapidly.
“I-I... I don’t think of ways to kill you.” He started. “That’s the last thing I would ever do to you.” He said quietly as you laughed.
“Yeah? That would put you on bad terms with my dad, so I would assume-” You started while you walked out of the elevator, pausing as you saw the set up he had made.
“I know you’re probably busy, but would you mind swinging into prom with me?”
“Really Parker?” You asked, turning around to face him. “A promposal?” You asked, raising your eyebrows.
“Uh... Yeah. I knew that you would like it, with the red and gold. I know you act like you hate your dad but I can tell that you love him. And you admire what he does, so I figured it would be a good way of asking with a Spidey reference and Iron Man colors...” He said, playing with his fingers. “So... Do you have an answer?” He asked, biting the inside of his lip.
“Of course I’ll go with you, you idiot. Why do you think I sent Flash those ‘I’ll think about it’ texts for?” You asked, laughing at his reaction. “I would never go to prom with Flash Thompson, you were right. He’s not a gentleman.” You said and walked over to him, giving him a warm hug. “He’s not you either.”
