Everything
I'm supposed to be studying for my exams, instead I wrote this. I had to do 2 chapters! (short ones, would barely take me an hour, but still!) This might be the first installment of a series. Idk, my muse is unpredictable.
Anyways... here ya go, my fellow sterek lovers <3
PS: won't be putting this on AO3 yet, I'm not opening that again till my last exam is over. Now on AO3 after some minor edits! And wowza i did not realize this thing was more 2k words lmao. I was thinking this a lil ficlet oof.
One should never fuck with a genie, otherwise they fuck with you.
How does Stiles know this? Because he's an idiot. An idiot who rubbed the lamp even after Lydia told him not to, and asked for a wish he really wishes he hadn't. And the worst part of it all?
He's all alone now.
*
He wakes up floating in the air. He screams, because he can see the forest floor below him, and he's definitely gonna fall so he needs to brace himselfâ
"Where the hell are my legs?!"
"Gone," the genie giggles. She's blue in hue, white jewels around her white eyes, and she has her teal long hair in knots the same way Stiles' stomach is now. Stiles gulps. She laughs. "You wished for this, Stiles."
And with that, she's gone.
Stiles doesn't fall, but he wishes he had. Especially when he sees his dad trudging through the forest with K9 dogs, unaware of his existence even though he shouts, cries, and yearns.
His dad looks up, but never at him. He tries to touch his dad, make him aware of his existence, but all his dad does is look terrified of something Stiles doesn't know of and unaware of Stiles' mere existence.
Finally, his dad leaves, muttering, "Stupid teenagers and stupid games."
Stiles follows, because that's the only thing he can do right now.
*
Turns out, this isn't 2013, and this isn't post senior year. He's in 2011, and this is the morning after Stiles and Scott had found Laura's body and Scott had gotten bitten. Except, in this freaky world, Stiles doesn't exist.
Why would Scott even go to the forest at night if Stiles didn't force him? Scott's said it himself, that if it wasn't for him Scott never would have had to endure the life he has. He could have been normal. If only Stiles wasn't there.
And in this world, Stiles wasn't.
He gets the answer the same time Melissa gets it, her mascara smudged, wedding ring on her finger, matching his dad's, both of them sitting on the couch of Stiles' childhood home.
"We haven't located him yet," his dad is saying, voice tinged with regret and fury. "That kid. What could have been so important that he went to the forest in the middle of the night? And after I told him about the body!"
So Laura is still dead, huh. He wonders why even this world is taking from Derek, but that's forgotten when Melissa says this â
"Did you ask Jackson? He knows everything that Scott does. He must know where our son is!"
Jackson and Scott are friends in this world? What even? Stiles had always believed that he was the only thing keep Scott from being cool and popular, and now he knows this to be true. If Stiles never existed, then Scott would have had a much better childhood. And much cooler people to hand out with.
"I did. He says Scott was terrified of the killer and had wanted Jackson to come over for a sleepover, but Lydia didn't let him." At least those two are still together. "And that was the last thing Jackson and Scott talked about."
Melissa looks up, staring straight at his dad. "And?"
His dad never beats around the bush. As a cop, it's much better to be blunt than to dance around the truth, and right here, right now, he's a cop delivering a bad news to a woman whose child is missing.
"And Scott had a fight with Lydia over that, apparently, and he went to cool down at his favorite spot in town." His dad pauses, and Stiles' stomach drops out.
"Where, John. Where?"
He says in sync with his dad, "In the preserve." And then in sync with Melissa, "Damn it Scott!"
*
Scott comes home in the evening, unscratched and alive, and it seems like he hasn't been bitten, and Stiles is glad for a moment, but then he sees things. Like Scott scrunching his face on the second floor when the main door opens and shuts, Melissa leaving for work, her worries for her son soothed. Like Scott laughing at seemingly nothing, but then Stiles goes down and sees that his dad's watching a rom-com in the living room. And most damning of all, the next day, Scott does the thing with the pen. He gives it to Allison right as she enters the class, like he heard she forgot hers â even with multiple walls and a good amount of distance between where that conversation happened and where Scott was sitting in the class.
And then Stiles realizes, he never had anything to do with this. It was Scott's destiny to become a werewolf, and it doesn't matter if Stiles is there or not. It's Scott's destiny.
"His destiny was always to become a True Alpha."
He's in his not-bedroom, sitting on Scott's bed, contemplating his original wish. He was upset at the time; Scott had reinforced his belief of Stiles ruining his life, and he'd just found out about the genie lamp Lydia ordered from... somewhere. It was like fate, him wishing to never exist, so that the people in his life could have a better life without him.
He's contemplating whether or not that wish was even warranted, and what are all the implications of him never existing in this world, what else changes, and if it doesn't really; that's when the genie decides to come back, a somber look on her face.
"He wasn't."
She scares the shit out of him, her hand on his knee, comforting but cold. He shrieks, and she gives a little smile, shakes her head. Repeats, "He wasn't meant to be an Alpha."
And Stiles tells her everything.
"Me being there... it doesn't matter. He became a werewolf in this world, because it was destiny." And, "I don't impact the people around me." And, "Nobody would miss me. Nobody. I'm just a nuisance. It's great for them that I don't exist in this world."
The genie looks at him sadly. "No, Stiles," she cups his cheeks, and he lets him, lets her wipe his tears with her thumb. It's comforting, like his mother's voice or her laugh. "That's not true. You matter. You matter in ways you don't even realize."
"Do I, really? Do I?"
"Yes. Scott was never meant to be a True Alpha, but you know who is? This person." She snaps her fingers, and they're in the charred remains of the Hale House suddenly, sitting on its burnt floor. Stiles' heartbeat quickens, and he sees him then â sad, angry, and terrified, all at once, all of it in his eyebrows, his face a marble statue carved out of a constant state of paranoia.
"Derek."
"Derek Hale," the genie agrees.
"He was...? But he gave up his powers. To save Cora. And thenâ"
"And then Derek's power weakened. It didn't vanish. For any other Alpha, the spark would have been depleted completely, but not for Derek."
"Not for Derek?"
"Not for the greatest Alpha to walk this land since the very first Alpha that ever existed." Stiles is too stunned to speak. All he can do is look at the Derek sitting in the corner of the destroyed living room, gripping a folded photo in his hands, looking so young yet so old. Wracked with guilt and pain, so much pain.
The genie continues.
"He is Destiny's Child. The Seed of Power, The Bloom of Prosperity. He is The Phoenix, risen from flames of blood and death and betrayal. He is the True Alpha, and for him, the power would have come back."
"Then why didn't it?" His head is spinning with all the titles, his mind hysterical over them. But he's sitting with a genie in a world that isn't his own, his legs turned to a single tail like a mermaid floating in air, and he believes now.
"Because where there is light, there is darkness. Deaton used nefarious ways to steal that Alpha Spark from Derek, and with Julia's sacrifices, the Nemeton was a powerful conduit for his malpractices of magic."
"And he gave that to Scott. But why?"
"Stiles... Derek is Power. And you? You are Knowledge. You know why."
"Seed of Knowledge... He's the brawns and I'm the brains? Geez, you make it sound like we're the two sides of the same coin." The genie just looks at him, her white eyes sparkling. He decides to not focus on that, instead thinking of an answer to his own question. And then he gets it. "Having power is great... but controlling it is even better."
"One makes you accountable, the other makes you the master."
Stiles has to admit, "Deaton is smart. Shit, does this mean Scott was manipulated all this time?"
"Perhaps. But right now, I want you to focus on this: What is your destiny? You said it youself, you're the two sides to the same coin. You, my child, were correct."
"Like I always am?"
"Like you always are," she agrees, and then they're shuffling through scenes of Stiles' life like it's a goddamn movie.
Every scene is Stiles saving Derek. Or being there for Derek. Being Pack.
When Stiles spent nearly a whole day with a dying Derek in his Jeep, and almost chopped off his arm save him.
When he let Derek lay low in his own room.
The pool.
After Boyd's death.
The time he spent the whole day at Derek's loft, deliberate and silent, a shoulder to lean on, the day of the fire's anniversary.
And on and on and on.
"That's you two, existing, side by side. Now look at this."
She shows him this world's Derek. His fate.
Derek dies by Kate's bullet, untrusting of Scott to go ask for help, and too stubborn to not haul ass into the Argent's mansion to go look for the bullet himself. Unfortunately for him, Grandpa Crazy was there, too, enjoying his meal. And then later...
"I don't- I can't- Not him, please, He can't die, Iâ"
They're back in his not-bedroom.
"Why would you show me that?! Why the hell would youâ"
"Because you matter. Humans interact every day, and maybe sometimes those interactions mean nothing. But you and him? Each one of your interactions does mean something. Your Destiny is intertwined. You are the brain to his brawns, the brawns to his brains. You're strengths of each other in a way that Ares himself envies, that Apollo sings of, that Eros prides himself on."
"What are you saying?" This is getting too much for him, now. It's one thing to be there for each other, for him to mean something in someone's life, in Derek's life... but this? Too much.
The genie smiles, teeth and all. She has vampiric teeth, except all her teeth are long-fanged. "You are each other's."
Stiles pauses. Thinks through everything that has happened between him and Derek. They're friends. Derek is a beta and he's still the annoying human, and they're always circling each other, joking and ribbing and fighting and slamming each other into surfaces. Well, the last part Derek does to him.
They're close.
They're not in love.
"Not yet,"
"Don't tell me you can fucking mind-read." He only gets a smile in return, the full-fanged one. "Okay... moving on. What do you mean not yet? And you didn't actually complete your sentence. We are each other's what?"
"You are each other's everything." The words echo all around him, inside his skin, in his bones. They hold a weight, bearing down on his chest, arms around his body, like a tight, vicious grip, and the genie repeats, "Everything."
And that's the last thing he hears out of the genie before waking up on the preserve floor, Derek staring down at him, his eyes flashing red.
Stiles blinks up at him.
"Stiles, what did you do?"
He gulps.
"Technically, I didn't do anything,"
"Stiles!"

how long did we sleep?
A/N: i know itâs not perfect but i tried and this is my first fic by the wayđđ»
Summary: after trip to Europe,you and your friends team up to celebrate MJâs birthday,but something between her and Peter isnât the same
Pairing: Peter Parker x reader
Warnings: not so massive Far From Home spoilers i guess???
You werenât the type of girl who desired to be popular in school. You liked staying after lessons to study in a computer class or practice in labs to check some of your designs . Despite that,you were a real badass. You liked sneaking out at nights to go to the parties or hang out with your friends. You enjoyed Central Park at night time more therefore you were stargazing there almost every night. You liked staying in the hidden place in the library until the very late hours to be able to read in silence and absence of others and then exiting through the broken window.And you also really appreciated your family and loved spending time with them.
You knew you were hard to understand but you didnât need anyone to do it or tell you compliments.
You hear the bell ring and rush towards the hall to the bathroom.
She is never late so she must be in the class already and you have some time before you meet her.the teacher will probably be annoyed at you for being late again but you decide to finish whatâs more important to you right now.
You put the cup of coffee and your bag on the bathroom sink.
âI am very very very sorryâ - you write on the inner side of the book cover you bought for your best friend - âSorry i became your friend only a year ago. Youâre the bestest friend i ever had. Itâs a fact. And imma be late for the physics class but iâm just hoping your smile would be worth it. MJ,thank you for being glowing,smart af,genuine,indescribable and rEaL friend for me. i love youâ
You take a black ink pen to add some hearts and write a post scriptum
âP.s. i was searching for this book a lot for you and i hope you love itâ
you close the book,lace it with a black ribbon and write on a coffee cup âhappy birthday,hmmmmMJâ
You and MJ. Your friendship started as unexpectedly as you saw her reading your favorite book at the party.You approached to her and that was the moment you both felt something new - how do they call it?oh yes - soulmates thing.
You two are literally soulmates - MJ sees you through and understands you perfectly,you do the same. Youâve changed a lot since you became MJâs friend and youâre pretty sure this change was an improvement.
You put the book in the bag,take the coffee and catch a glimpse of your reflection - girl in the mirror smiled and was looking excited about making her friend happy.
You leave the bathroom and examine the hall in search of the principle. Your eyes didnât find anybody so you start quickly heading to the class at the same time checking on your watch.
Well,Iâm late for just 3 minutes,I can praise mysel-
The moment after you look at the time once again,you bump into someone and close your eyes as you feel like the cap from the coffee cup has fallen down.
You silently swear and pray itâs not principle. You open your eyes and see Peterâs perplexed face and chuckle.
âGod damn Peter watch yourselfâYou smile pretending to be mad at him and raise free arm to hug him.
You and Peter. You two got very close as you started hanging out with MJ. At first,you knew Peter as a boy MJ was at one Decathlon team at,than the boy she seemed to have feelings for and only then you got to know him personally when he and mj started dating.
He appeared to be very cute and kind-hearted and you couldnât deny he was attractive to you. But you knew he was already into SoMeOnE and SoMeOnE was also kinda attracted. Generally, you got to know him in Europe trip and generally,the same time he and Michelle confessed their feelings to each other. They started dating bu you remained good friends and so did you,Ned and Peter. Ned and you were pretty sure there was something Parker and MJ were hiding about their relationship that might have happened between them but you didnât demand to know about it.
Oh and you knew Peter was Spiderman. To be honest,you were not surprised as you and MJ have noticed his strange behavior a long ago but when he confessed it to you everything became explainable.
Parker hugs you back and sets the coffee cap back to the cup. When he holds you close,you can feel his chest moving fast and you can tell he was in a hurry. Again.
âIs everything okay?âYou ask softly as you make sure the coffee hasnât been spilt.
âYeah,I just missed a busâHe smiles and fixes his hair. and you wish you could run your fingers through these curls as they were the cutest thing youâve ever seen. But there was already someone else who had the right to do it. And being aware of that made you shiver inside every time.
âDonât tell me youâve been running your way to schoolâ you playfully frown
Peter imitates he rolled his eyes and asks you if your gift was ready.
âIt is and itâs all cool to talk but we seem to be lateâ You answer with a smile on your face
âYeah yeah sureâ
His hand suddenly touches yours while you walk towards the class next to each other. You can feel your heart skip a beat and wonder why you even feel this. Peter looks at you without turning his head but you pretend to stay calm and look straight . And thatâs why you canât notice slight blush on Peterâs face and a little sparkle in his eyes.
ââââââ
You open the class door,apologize to the teacher and quickly take your place next to MJ. You wink to Ned and look at the birthday girl. She is sitting still but you can tell by her smile she is glad to see you. You carefully pass her the coffee and watch her eyes shimmer and smile widen as she reads the words written on the cup.
âHappy birthday, cutieâ You say and blow her a kiss
She chuckles and whispers quite thank you when Peter rushes into the class according to your plan which included not to show up to the class late together.
âI-Iâm sorry,Mr.Clark,I was late for the bus so I -â
âStop excuses,Mr.Parker,and take your place,Weâre all used to your lateness. As much as we are used to Y/Nâs oneâ The teacher looks at you and you silently pray heâs not going to say what he was going to say
âI think itâs time for you both to pay for your morning sleep and stay after the lessonsâHe sentences
âNo!â You both blurtâPlease not today,maybe tomorrow?itâs very important ,we canât stay today,please!âMr.Clark stops Peterâs begging with shaking his head and continues the lesson.
You press your palms to your face and sigh deeply,then you look at Peter who seems to be as disappointed as you and finally,MJ.
She looks a bit worried but whispersâDonât worry,we can figure it outâ
As the lessons ends,you stand up quickly and hug Michelle. âIâm really sorryâ you say pitifully âBut I think Peter and I can skip todayâs detention,right?â You look at Peter and he nods at once after placing Mj a kiss on her cheek.
âNo,no,guys,you donât have toâMichelle says âI wanted to tell you that my âpartyâ(she imitates quotes) is being put offâ
âWhat?âNed says loudly
âYeah,my parents want to spend time with me. Iâm not saying weâre not having fun today. Iâm just suggesting you to meet 2 hours later. Will you be able to?â
Three of you nod and you sigh with relief.
âOkay,Iâm going to French and you boys better buy your gift alreadyâ
MJ chuckles and Peter slightly kicks your shoulder when you walk by.
âââââââââ-
When the lessons are over,you meet MJ to make sure if everything okay and then head to detention room.
Peter is already sitting there and you sit next to him. He smiles when he sees you and you smile back and feel really warm inside.
You open the bag and show him the pack of sour patch. Parker grins and tries to quietly move his desk close to yours.
There is no one else but almost sleeping teacher in the room so you two start talking loudly about your favorite movies and end up finding out that your mutual favorite film was «Men in Black».
You chuckle âYeah and I really didnât want J to erase Kâs memoryâ
«I know,that was unexpected. Um,Y/N?â
âYes?â
âWould you like to team up this weekend and kinda rewatch the trilogy?â
âMovie night at Parkerâs?Sure,sounds coolâit does sounds cool and all but you hesitate about what mj was going to say
âSure?â He asks a bit shyly
âSure as hell!â You smile and pretend to look at your phone to hide your excitement
Then you frown and ask like itâs not something you do care about but deep in your heart you know you do âShould i tell MJ and Ned?â
Peter keeps silence for a second and then says while running his fingers through his hair nervously
âA-Actually I thought - I thought they donât like this movieâ
You look at him and smile,then nod and check on time while the heat is rising from your toes to your head and then fills your whole body with excitement and you smile again,even wider now.
âHey,I guess weâre freeâ He tells you pointing at the teacher who is already asleep. You eat the last sour patch bear and stand up quietly.
ââ-
You and Peter live not really far from each other,thatâs why he decided to walk you to your house. You have never been at Peterâs and he has not visited your house yet but he often walked you to the doors and hugged you and this cuddles could lift you up for the rest of the day. Today was not an exception. You agreed to meet in half an hour to go to MJâs place together.
When you come in,you hear the smell of melting cheese and go to kitchen to kiss your mom. You warn her that tonightâs MJâs birthday and youâre going to be late.
She nods and gives you a sandwich that you bite as you go to your room. You choose to wear something casual so youtake off your Y/F/C(your favorite color) hoodie and put on Y/P/C(your preferred color)tie-die t-shirt and jeans(idk whatever u like to imagine)
The gift for MJ is still in your bag and you take it as you go to the bathroom.
âââ
When itâs time to meet up with Peter,Ned and Betty you all get a message from MJ that the picnic you have planned is still in you schedule so you guys start heading to her house.
Betty was your another close friend,though not as close as any of the guys. She was super nice and cute and thatâs why Ned extremely liked her. You could tell Ned has changed a lot to the better and that was an obvious sign of the good impact of the relationships for you.
While youâre in the subway,you teach Ned how to do the hand sign(đđ») from Star Trek and once you looked at Peter,he was always looking at you. You thought to yourself you were overthinking and try to forget this. Every time you wanted to think he really felt something for you,you couldnât help but feeling guilty for doing this to Mjâs boyfriend. So you tried to wash these thoughts away.
When you get to the destination,you see MJ waving to you with the bag full of food. She looked very happy and it made you even happier. As you see her,you run to her and hug her and everyone else does the same as they approach.
âââ
When you settle down your picnic rug on the grass under the tree next to Michelleâs apartment and set all the beverages and snacks,Betty clears her throat and says enthusiastically âTime for presentsâ
MJ stands up and you beat your knees with your hands. âShould I start?â You ask everyone and when they nod,you go on
âMichelle,itâs my first your birthday and Iâm glad Iâm here with unbelievable you and you guys. Um, Iâve never had a friend like you,yeah,and speeches are definitely not my cup of tea,but i know for sure, that you are great,beautiful and kind person and you deserve everything you think you donât and moreâ
You see her smiling and lean closer to hug her and whisper in her ear quite âI love youâ and she nods with the happiness in your eyes and itâs the best thing you have ever seen.
Everyone else congratulated MJ with their gifts and hugged her and everyone was joyful. But there was one thing that bothered you - when Peter and Ned were embracing Michelle,you could notice that Parker hugged her differently. Not the way he hugged you. When you two were hugging,he was holding you tight and for a long time. His hug with MJ seemed way shorter but you decided not to overthink again. But it kept bothering you throughout the night.
âââ-
During the party,you were eating fruits,listening to music and talking about some stupid things. You saw MJ happy and you felt admired by how happiness suits her face.
Somebody suggested taking polaroids so you all were changing poses while some tourist was making photos. He made about 20 different polaroids and you decided that MJ is going to take them home to choose and then give some of them to her friends.
ââ-
When the sun set,you started packing things to go up at MJâs apartment and have a movie night.
You discussed everyoneâs wishes and decided to binge-watch first season of Stranger Things.
You settled blankets,pillows and snacks on the floor and Ned put on the show.
You were sitting between Betty and MJ,Peter was sitting on the left side to MJ.
You loved the atmosphere that was in the room and looked down to pick up another nacho and expected to witness MJ and Peter holding hands as they did as often as possible. But to your surprise they werenât. Moreover,they were not even leaning closer to each other which made you wonder.
In 15 minutes,Ned saw Betty yawning and suggested changing positions for her to lay down comfortably. You appeared to sit next to Peter and MJ which made your nerves tingle. Michelle took the polaroids from her pocket and started checking which of them were good. Parker offered you the last nacho in the bag and when you perplexedly accepted it he got up and approached the trash can in the corner of the room to throw the empty packs.
Suddenly, you feel MJ grab your wrist and pulling you with her
âDonât pause the episode,weâll be right backâ she said happily while taking you with her out of the room and closing the door.
âUm,is everything okay?â You ask looking puzzled
âEven better! Let me tell you somethingâ Michelle took you to the kitchen and you sat on the counter still wondering what on earth made MJ leave her favorite show playing.
âSoâshe started excitedly âI was browsing through polaroids we took and found thisâ
She handed you the picture of five of you standing in front of MJâs house while hugging each other. It was taken the moment you noticed Nedâs hat wasnât his,but Mr.Harringtonâs and he changed them by incident so all of you were laughing. It was really pure but you still didnât get what MJ so head over heels
And then
You laid your eyes on Peter. He wasnât standing next to you,but he was looking at you. When everyone was looking at camera,he was looking at you. The wind was playing with his curly wonderful hair,the warm smile lit his face and his eyes were directed at you. Was it affection inside them? Love? You didnât know
But was eager to.
âMJ,this pic is awesome and I look less gross than always here but what is it supposed to mean?â
âLook,things werenât good for me and Pete latelyâ she joined you on the counter and put her hand on your lap âWe both donât think we should continue pretending to be a couple when weâre not anymore.â
âWhat? Uh,does it mean...?â
âYeah,itâs overâ she said with no drop of disappointment on her face,but joy
âBut...but why? What happened? Did he hurt you?â
âNo,no calm downâ MJ chuckled âIâm just not that into him anymore. And when i talked to him,he confessed the same. I meanâshe continued seeing your perplexed face âwe mean a lot to each other but it doesnât work the same way it did. Itâs fine,really,we both moved on.â
âWait-You too?â
âYeah,i got someone,but,nevermind,itâs not what we are talking aboutâ
âAnd while youâre thinking it overâ she leaned closer to you â I donât see a point in hiding your feelings for him anymoreâ
âNo way weâre talking about this againâ you raised your hands in your defense âYou broke up and how can you know heâs not hurt and doesnât want you back and- and how can you know he wants someone else? Someone else but you?â You asked more seriously
âBecause the eyes,Y/N. They never lieâ she winked at you and told to keep the polaroid to yourself
You wanted to stop her but she was already gone with a wide smile on her face.
You covered your face with your hands and smiled inside them like in a pillow. Then you jumped off the counter and headed to the room with Michelleâs words pulsing in your temples.
ââââ
You opened the door and saw Betty and Ned snoring on each otherâs shoulders. MJ was telling something to Peter as his eyes widened and a wide smile appeared on his face.
You took a deep breath and squeezed your eyes which you used to erase the blush from your cheeks.
You walked in and Peter stood up the moment you closed the door.
âI-I,ugh-I remember we planned spending the night in here and Iâm sticking to the plan,I just need to go out for a second or two to buy coffee,I donât feel so good(*) and I guess fresh air and coffee is the only thing I need right now,huhâ You tried to look calm and even tried to chuckle but ended up having a flimsy grin on your face. âDo-do you mind?â You asked,more to MJ,not trying to look Peter straight in his eyes. âI can buy coffee for every one so we can survive the night?â
Pathetic. Your main rule was to never look pathetic and that was exactly how you looked. At least you thought so
âYeah,sure,no problem. Iâll text you then which coffee guys would want to.â Michelle saw you through. She knew you just wanted to leave for a minute to calm your nerves and she understood you.
You smiled to her and forced yourself to smile to Parker,then left the apartment with nothing but your phone and hoodie Peter gave you as it was cold outside.
ââââ-
You were sitting in front of the coffee shop for 10 minutes now,trying to analyze everything. You didnât know what made you so nervous but you felt like it was bursting inside of you and you couldnât help it. You felt even more pathetic for leaving although your motto was to never run from the problems but face them. But tonight you felt like it was necessary for you to take a break from being powerful and independent.
You took a sip of the night air,looked up at the stars and realized how small and shitty your problems were and suddenly you calmed down.
If Peter likes you,then he will do something himself. You like him for forever but never noticed any signs of mutual attention. You craved him for so long and he always craved someone else. You told yourself that if you feel like it tonight,you will tell him. Tell him about it and then probably jump out of the window and disappear. Or lock yourself in the bathroom. Yes. The latter would work.
You chuckled and walked into the shop with joy on your face.
âUm,Iâll have two capuccinos,two lattes and one iced coffee with double ice,pleaseâ
âDouble ice?â Barista grinned
âYeah,I kinda like the coldâ
âTwenty four fiftyâ the barista claimed
âSure,her-â
âIâll payâ you hear the voice behind your back
âPete?â You frown and smile to the awesome cute hot curly chocolate boy in front of you
âHeyâ he rubs the back of his neck,while heâs in a black t-shirt that shows his muscles âDo you feel better?â
âI think so. I like to think this happened because i had too much fun todayâ
âThen this should happen to me every time Iâm with youâ
You blinked and felt the burning desire to hug him really hard.
Instead,you smiled and with hesitations ran your fingers through his hair.
He looked at you with admiration and gently grabbed your wrist.
âI- I really think we need to talkâ
âYeah-yeah, we doâyou burst out laughing
ââââââ
You walked out of the coffeeshop and he stopped you by tapping your shoulder.
âLook,Y/N,I-â
âI like you,Peteâ you interrupted and was brave enough to look into his eyes âIâve been acting so pathetic lately but itâs just because I couldnât keep it from you any longer.Youâre the sweetest boy I ever met. I like your crazy hair that you hate. I love our hugs because they make my days.Your smile is like actually the best smile everâ you laughed and continued âYouâre a genius,youâre so smart,youâre kind-hearted,you help people and youâre just you. Thatâs why I like you. Yes, I like you. And it doesnât mean you should tell me you like me back as i donât want your words to be fake. Itâs fine if you donât feel the same way and I would gladly stay your friend for the rest of my lifeâ you finished and took a sip of coffee to regain bravery.
Peter looked at you with sparks in his brown eyes and smile on his lips and started
âI like you too,Y/N, a lot. Thank you for telling me all of this but- Youâre not pathetic,being yourself and having emotions and feelings isnât pathetic,alright? â
You nodded
âI extremely like you and Iâm being 100% genuine to you. Iâve never met anyone like youâ
and before you could understand it,he kissed you
Peter Parker kissed you and you never knew you needed it that much.
âââââââââ
You came to MJâs apartment holding hands and none of you ever wanted to let this moment slip away.
When MJ saw you two she smiled and made an impression of fainting. You laughed and hugged her whispering âthank you so much for making me do this stepâ
âMe? yes,it was me,will you make me your bridesmaid?â
You continued watching the episode laying on Peterâs shoulder and holding his hand. He seemed carried away by the joy of finally being with someone he truly loved.
He kissed your temple right when sleeping couple of Ned and Betty on the right stood up
âWait,how much did we sleep?â
