WAIT FOR YOU — P. PARKER

The clock on your laptop read one-thirty am. Your entire apartment was dark, your family had went to bed hours ago, but you stayed up. Besides the excuse to binge watch The Originals, you were waiting for Peter.

You usually didn’t stay up if you knew he’d be out late, but tonight you didn’t really want to go to sleep without seeing his smile. It had been an annoyingly long day at school and work. Your teachers were being extra demanding, seeing as your junior year was coming to a close and you had college applications to complete (for early admission in the fall). And then your boss at the book store, who was usually laidback, yelled at you for all sorts of things. Guess she was having an off day too.

As much as you loved Klaus Mikaelson, the only that could you truly make you happy right now, was your boyfriend. Thus starting your long night of snacks, hybrids and lots of blankets.

The three short knocks and one long one at your window caused you to let out a small squeal. Pushing aside the magnitude of blankets off your body, you hopped out of bed and tiptoed to your window. You pulled back the curtain and saw him. Spiderman crouched on your fire escape, waiting for you.

You wasted no time and pulled the window open, allowing him to climb in.

“I thought I told you to keep that locked.” Peter sighed, pulling off the mask. Peter’s cheeks and nose were red from the cold, but he didn’t seem fazed. Instead, he wore a dopey smile, one that you knew meant he had really overworked himself tonight.

“You did. Many times,” You replied with a small smirk as you closed the window and curtains. “Save the world tonight, Pete?”

“I helped this old guy find a book store, stopped someone from running over a biker and some other stuff thats not really important.” Peter rushed the last phrase, hoping you wouldn’t question him. You gave him a weary look but didn’t push him, instead you took a few steps towards him, a smile creeping onto your lips.

Peter grinned back, his chocolate curls bouncing on his forehead as he moved closer to you in return. For a few seconds, you both just stood there, gazing into each other’s eyes with lazy grins. You could feel yourself leaning forward, your body yearning to wrap yourself around Peter.

“Did you wait up for me?” Peter stopped, taking in the dark circles and mascara smudges around your Y/E/C eyes. He then noticed the messy bun, his sweatshirt (that was just slightly too big for you but he loved the way you looked in it) and the mound of blankets covering your bed.

You scrunched up your nose in confusion, “Of course.” You finally reached for Peter, wrapping your arms around his torso and placing your head against his chest.

Peter smiled, his chin resting on your head because you happened to be a lot shorter than him. There were times when it didn’t feel real, to be able to hold you in his arms was something he hadn’t gotten used to (he didn’t think he ever would) but still Peter soaked up every second he had with you, afraid it could be the last. Especially since he was a crime fighting spider.

“Peter?” You mumbled against the fabric of his suit. You could hear the beat of his heart, a steady thump against your ear. It was a sound you could listen to on repeat, knowing it was steady, knowing it wasn’t stopping anytime soon kept you calm.

“Mhm?”

“I love you.” It took you a solid ten seconds to realize what you just said. You could hear Peter’s heartbeat speed up to an unhealthy fast speed. It’s not that you didn’t mean it, it’s just that you had never said that before. Every time it crossed your mind, you never questioned it, just didn’t act upon it.

“R-Really?” Peter’s voice was two pitches higher than normal, he pulled out of your arms to look into your eyes.

You gave him a meek nod, unsure of how he felt in return.

Peter’s lips then morphed into a huge grin. His eyes sparked with excitement. It was then that all your worries washed away, he might not have said it back yet, but his smile was all you needed to be ok.

“I understand if it’s to soon for you,” You stumbled through our words, hoping he wouldn’t feel pressured to say anything in return. “I’ll wait for you, Parker.”

Peter only smiled. He clicked the spider on his suit and it fell to the floor. Then he pulled you over to your bed and the both of you snuggled in. You were wrapped up in each others arms as you fell asleep, the long day finally catching up to you.

Peter, still stunned from you declaration just moments ago mentally slapped himself in the face. He should have said it back, the words sat on the tip of his tongue, but the excitement froze him to the floor. All he could do was smile. It didn’t help he’d wanted to be the first to say it, but hearing it from your mouth was the best thing he’d ever heard, so it was quite easy to forgive you.

The sound of your soft breaths let Peter know you had fallen asleep, “I love you too, Y/N.”

The thought of telling you those words when you woke up in the morning was all Peter could think about as he followed you into the abyss of sleep.
