Peter Parker wearing his first suit hoodie, which has puffy paint webs and spider symbol on it. He's at a cafe, eyebags that look like teabags taped to his face and drinking a straight up afront to god. A guy walks past, stops, and points.
"Yo, where'd you get the merch?"
Peters eyes are barely open when he looks at him. He won't remember what he looks like the next day either.
"The Spidey merch. Where'd you get it?"
Peter looked down at himself, somewhat baffled, and squints at him.
"Deadass? I've got thirty bucks, could you make me one?"
The materials plus Peters time outside of classes and Spider-Man...he should get a sandwich out of it at least.
"Thirty-five?" He negotiates weakly. The man doesn't even blink.
"You got it." And takes out cash then and there. Peter stares at it, exchanges info, and gets the hoodie done in a weak between surviving and saving everyone else.
The guy is some sort of influencer. He shows it off on his story. People are going crazy. He texts Peter with a screenshot.
"Can I give them your info?"
Over a hundred people already want his hoodie.
$35 per person, and so many out the gate?
Superhero-ing might pay after all.
This is how Peter is able to pay for his own meals, not completely rely on JJJ for his income.
