tangled webs & quiet sighs
peter parker x fem!gf!reader
summary: just a little foot rub… or so you thought. peter parker reacts, and you notice everything.
warnings: playful tension, mild sexual tension, peter parker gets flustered. pure teasing, nothing explicit happens.
you stumbled through the door, every muscle screaming in protest, arms heavy and legs aching like lead. the mission had been relentless today, and all you could think about was shedding your armor, letting hot water wash away the tension, and collapsing into your bed.
your clothes hit the floor almost automatically as you closed the door to your room, one tired foot after the other padding toward the bathroom. the instant the water hit your skin, a long, shivering sigh escaped your lips. warm droplets ran over your face, down your neck, and the tension of the day began to unravel, little by little.
you tilted your head back, letting the water pelt your shoulders, washing off the grime and adrenaline, letting yourself feel just… everything at once—the fatigue, the ache, and a strange relief that this moment was yours alone.
after what felt like both an eternity and a heartbeat, you finally stepped out, wrapping a towel around yourself. the soft carpet beneath your feet felt heavenly, but every step reminded you just how badly your arches ached. sinking onto the bed, you groaned, pressing your palms into your feet. “ugh… i swear, my feet might actually detach from my legs at this rate,” you muttered.
peter, sitting on the edge of your bed with that guilty-but-cute grin he always managed to pull off, tilted his head. “i… uh… want me to help?” he asked quietly, voice careful, eyes flicking away like he was scared you’d say no. “rub… your feet or something?”
you arched an eyebrow, smirking at him. “oh? you’re volunteering for that? brave of you, parker.”
his ears pinked instantly, hands fidgeting slightly. “i-it’s fine… i mean, i can do it,” he stammered, leaning forward to take your feet gently in his hands.
the first few movements were tentative, careful, almost painfully so, but gradually his hands relaxed, pressing just enough to ease the tension in your arches. the room was quiet except for your soft sighs, the subtle hums of relief that slipped from your lips, and the faint scrape of the blanket under you.
and then… you noticed.
the faint outline of him shifting in his pants, subtle but there, undeniable. your lips curved into a teasing smile. “hm… parker?” you murmured, tilting your head as your toes wiggled slightly in his hands. “you… okay there?”
his face immediately went crimson, eyes darting to yours, then down, then quickly away. “i… uh… i’m fine,” he mumbled, voice cracking just slightly, hands still on your feet but a little stiff now.
you let out a quiet laugh, biting your lip to hide it, enjoying the tiny shift of tension in him. “oh? it’s nothing?” you teased softly, voice playful, low, deliberate. “because it sure looks like…” your gaze lingered, and you let the teasing hang in the air without saying more.
he swallowed hard, cheeks pink, fidgeting slightly, clearly embarrassed, but otherwise continuing like nothing was happening. the room was filled with unspoken tension, playful, intimate, entirely ridiculous—and entirely yours to enjoy.
you leaned back into the pillows with a soft, victorious smile, letting the warmth of the moment settle around you. peter tried to act normal, tried to focus on your feet, but you could feel every little reaction, and that made it all the more deliciously fun.
luna speaks!
ugh okay so this one kinda got away from me!!
peter parker being flustered and ridiculous was just too good to resist. i don’t know how he manages to be both chaotic and adorable at the same time, but here we are.
the little sighs, the teasing glances, the quiet tension… honestly, i could write about this all day and still not get bored.
hope you enjoyed this tiny peek into his ridiculousness as much as i loved writing it, and if you’re laughing at him as much as i am… well, then we’re on the same page. ;))
hope you’re doing okay today, and that peter’s chaos made your day a little lighter!
sending a little love through these words, because you’re here reading and that matters<3
xoxo, your luna<3
