You always had a plan. Even if the plan wasn’t good, you had one. Organization was always key to success, is something you would tell yourself. Planning what to wear, how to study, planning your day, it was your cycle. You didn’t like to break your cycle because that was definitely not part of the plan. But of course the universe had other plans for you. Peter Parker and love were not apart of your plan. Your plan did not include late night calls talking on the phone, or staying up late at night when Spidey was out on patrol, middle of the day cuddles on his bed with your bodies intertwined. He might have not been apart of your plan, but you were sure as hell grateful for him.
You’re just too good to be true
Peter had never met such an understanding and compassionate person such as you. You understood him more than he did himself sometimes. You knew that he had a moral duty to Mr. Stark and the city that he promised himself to fulfill. You never once questioned where he was, you just greeted him with open arms and warm smile. You just always knew what to say, when patrol went good or bad, if he managed to save everybody, or if he just stepped on gum walking home. No matter what was going on in his crazy and hectic life, you were always his anchor to bring him back down to reality. He sometimes thought that he wouldn’t be able to be Spider-Man without you.
I can’t take my eyes off of you
The best mornings, according to Peter, were the ones where you would sleep over with him on a weekend, and he would open his eyes to your beautiful face. His heart would beat a hundred times per minute when he would take you all in. With your eyes closed, facing him, he would appreciate the beauty in front of him. From your head, down to your toes there was not one thing Peter would change about you. Just by looking at you, Peter felt such immense love and appreciation for your existence.
You’d be like heaven to touch
His soft fingertips would trail on your forehead, ever so lightly so he does not wake you, down between your eyes, to the beautiful curve of your nose, then down to your angelic perfect lips. He moved to cup your cheek and placed a soft peck on your delicate mouth. Your subconscious made you ever so slightly smile, even though you were asleep. God dammit you had him putty in your hand without even trying. The boyish smile that seemed to be permanently plastered on his face when he was with you made his cheeks hurt.
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
“This is Y/N, you know what to do.” Peter sighed as his call went straight to voicemail again. You had promised to come over but you were running half an hour late. It was a hot summer night in New York, and he really wanted you next to him as a light breeze washed over your warm bodies on his bed. He didn’t get to see you day today, and it didn’t help that patrol had been rough. Of course on the hottest possible day did everyone decide to be a criminal. Peter was so tired and really needed you next him right now. Not only was his day extremely long, but he couldn’t save someone today because he was too late. The officer to arrive first at the robbery did not wait for backup, and the robber shot him. Peter felt guilty for not being more efficient with his time.
If only he had asked Karen for-”Ugh, I’m so sorry babe I took a nap and I didn’t wake up from my alarm.” You didn’t knock as you entered his room. You just saw him and you knew. Taking your shoes off you just laid down and dragged him down with you. Running your fingers through his floppy hair, you kissed his forehead as his arms snaked around your body, hiding his head in the crook of your neck. You kept your fingers running through his hair and kissed the top of his head again. “You did your absolute best Peter. That’s all this city could ever ask of you.” You whispered into his ear, making him shake his head. “No, I wasn’t fast enough. I didn’t use my time right. He won’t get to go home like to his family like I do. I just feel like if I were bet-” You rolled over to your side and looked him dead in the eyes stopping him mid sentence.
“Peter Benjamin Parker, do not, and I mean do not ever feel like you are not good enough. You are out there risking yourself for the greater good. Your heart is made of gold Peter, and the world does not deserve it. You will always be more than enough because you’re just that amazing. You did what your fucking best and damn whoever says it’s not enough.” You climbed on top of him, straddling his hips then cupping his cheeks as you rested your forehead against his. “Don’t doubt yourself baby. You are absolutely amazing.” You whispered against his lips. He finally connected your lips with his. The kiss was slow, but full of love and passion that you could feel in your core. His hand would move to hold on to your hips as your hands moved up to his hair. He would be so lost without you by his side.
Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you makes me weak
You had just finished getting ready for prom and you were looking at yourself in the mirror, when there was a knock at your front door. You ran down the stairs knowing it was Peter and his aunt. Your mother opened the door to reveal your dashing boyfriend with the same boyish smile he always had around you. You left him with his mouth slightly agape as you looked you up and down. His legs felt like jelly as soon as he saw you in that red dress. Your hair was beautifully curled but was pulled back in a half up half down do to frame your pretty face. The makeup you had was light and minimal except for the dramatic lip that matched your dress. Peter was at a loss for words on how extravagant you looked. A warm blush covered your cheeks as Peter just stared without saying a word. Your father cleared the silence as he let out a loud cough causing aunt May and your mom to smile to themselves. Peter was dragged out of his trance as he fumbles with his corsage. “I-wow-you just-amazing-woah.” Were the only words Peter could form as he walked towards you, making you giggle. “Right back at you Parker.” You smirked at him as it was his turn to blush. “It’s just, you really do look breathtakingly beautiful Y/N. Truly.” He grabbed onto your hands as he spoke, pulling you into a trance with him until your mom snapped a picture with the flash on pulling you back to reality. “Mom really?” You blinked repeatedly as the light was unexpected. “Oh shush Y/N. You two just look adorable. Don’t they?” Aunt May and your father agreed. You smiled shyly and looked back up at Peter. “Let’s take pictures yeah? I feel like it’s going to be a while until I see you you in a suit.” He kissed your cheek lovingly and smiled back. “Sure thing darling.” He felt like he had the most heavenly girlfriend ever.
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know this is real
Before you and peter were a couple, he would toss and turn on his bed, not being able to get you out of his mind. You were his only thought that would cloud his mind at some point during the day. He just wanted to tell you how he felt and have you feel the same way so he could hold your hand, kiss your forehead and lips, pull you close and call you his. But when he wanted to speak his mind went on override and just combusted on the spot. His tongue would fall numb and his brain would fall blank. Sometimes he would think that you felt the same way he did. Because you would give him the same looks that lasted a little too long, or would hold his hand for no reason as he walked you home sometimes. He swore you felt the same, but his negative thoughts would always win, making him think you only did it because you felt bad for not liking him back. But he couldn’t stand it any longer. You had your arm linked around his as you walked in comfortable silence when he stopped in his tracks and turned his body to look at you. “Y/N I need to tell you something.” The nervousness could be heard in his voice. “What is it Peter?.. Did you leave something at-” He could hear the gears in his turning on overdrive. It was now or never. “I like you. Like a lot. I like like you.” You opened your eyes wide and let go of his arm. You were at a loss of words as you looked at him all bug eyed. “You-you do?” Of course you would be shocked, you always thought that he liked MJ, they would see each more at school. “Heck yeah I do Y/N. How could I not? Do you not feel the same? You can’t tell me you can’t feel this connection that feels too real?” You couldn’t deny it, he was right. Grabbing his hands you kissed his cheek. “Always the drama queen.” You giggled. “But yes, Peter Parker, I feel it too.” You smile met your eyes, and from that moment on, your smile would continue to leave him gasping for air.
I love you baby
And if it’s quite alright
I need you baby
To warm a lonely night
Even after being together as a couple for a while, Peter had never gotten tired of being a tangled mess with you in bed. Especially during the cold winters of New York when he had the perfect excuse to hold you as close as he wanted. He loved that there could be comfortable silence between the both of you as you both drew random figures on each other skin with your fingertips. The cold nights were perfect nights to Peter, and you could not convince him otherwise.
The pressure of your body against his made him feel grounded and dizzy at the same time. With nothing but positive thoughts, he would lay his head on your stomach and your fingers would automatically play with his hair. It had been awhile since he had seen you, with you know, being disintegrated into dust.
You would cry yourself to sleep sometimes hugging his pillow that you took from his room, pretending it was his scent that would lure you to sleep and not your migraine. Or that it was his arms keeping you warm and not your blanket. He would never leave you alone again. You both don’t know what you would do if you weren’t together again. It made your relationship be seen in a different light. Each moment would be appreciated 100 times more now.
Oh pretty baby
Don’t bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I found you stay
Before either of you discovered how the other felt, Peter was like a lost puppy following you around. You had him wrapped around your little finger and he did not mind at all. Whether it was to help you with school or even just someone to rant to you both were there for each other. No matter what. You were there for Peter when he needed to rant about Spider-Man. To Peter they were one in the same, but not you. Peter was your best friend, your rock, your savior. Spider-Man was the savior of the city. No matter how you saw Spidey or Peter, it was lonely for him being Spider-Man. But not that he would ever complain because he is more than grateful, but you knew him better than he thought. You knew that he would often doubted himself and his ability to save the city. Some days would be harder than others for him, but you always knew the right thing to say. You always knew what he needed, and he would forever be grateful for your love and trust in him. It was because of the amount of support that you gave him he was able to wake up and be proud to call himself Spider-Man. Sometimes, Peter would lay awake at night alone in his bed thinking on where he would be without you. It hurt him to think of such things, but all he knew is that he never wanted you to leave his side. Eventually, the thought of you would lull him to sleep.
