Spider-Man Songfic Series: I Like Me Better - Lauv (acoustic/Spotify Singles)

a/n: reposting this cause my posts keep turning into quotes :P

Pairing: PeterxMJ

Word Count: 1165

Summary: The flight back to NYC from London at the end of Far From Home, so SPOILERS which means I’ll be hiding this one under the cut.

WARNINGS: none, it’s just fluff and adorableness

*****

Thankfully, on the flight back, Peter didn’t have to lie about being allergic to anything. Before they’d even made it to their seats, Ned had already taken MJ’s so he could sit with Betty. Peter mouthed thank you and Ned waved him away.

“Um,” Peter spoke up as they slowly made their way down the aisle. “So do you want the window seat or…?”

“Yeah, sure,” MJ said simply. “Thanks.”

“No problem,” Peter smiled slightly at her and stepped past their seats to let her go in first.

“It’s weird not having any bags,” she realized.

“Yeah,” he agreed. “I kinda like it though. It’ll make getting off a lot easier. Having to squeeze a bag down the aisle is just the worst.”

“It’s so annoying,” she chimed in. “And baggage claim?” She chuckled to herself before adding. “At least it’s not the airport’s fault for losing our luggage this time.”

“True,” Peter laughed too. “I wonder what they thought of a bunch of American students with no bags.”

“Nothing,” MJ said plainly. “The very fact that we’re American was enough for them to want to ignore us. And no one cares.”

“That’s fair,” Peter smiled.

Other people might find MJ’s blunt honesty strange and annoying, but Peter found it really refreshing. He never had to worry about her hating him because he knew she wouldn’t give him the time of day if she really did.

They buckled into their seats and watched the world grow smaller out the window as the plane climbed higher and higher. Peter’s fear of heights didn’t cross his mind once. After going into space and being on another planet, being afraid of heights seemed silly. That and MJ had a bunch of random comments about the buildings, industrialization, over-population, and the destruction of the environment, so he was well distracted.

When they leveled out and they couldn’t see anything through the clouds, they leaned back in their seats. MJ bent forward and pulled a sketchbook and pencil out of her backpack.

“Managed to save it?” Peter gestured at the book.

“Thankfully,” she said. “It’s really only fun to watch art burn when you’re the one who set it on fire.”

“…That’s somehow both profound, and disturbing.”

MJ smiled. “Those go hand in hand more often than you would think. It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.”

Peter paused for a moment. “That sounds really familiar.”

She chuckled. “I’d be surprised if it didn’t. Did you read Fahrenheit 451 for freshman summer reading?”

His eyes widened. “Oh yeah! Ray Bradbury, right?”

She nodded. “He certainly had a lot of thoughts about fire.”

“Yeah…you know, in light of all that’s happened this week, I don’t really want to go into that,” Peter grimaced and they both laughed lightly. Then MJ turned back to her sketchbook and thumbed through the pages. He averted his eyes and poked around on the screen in front of him. He knew that her art was private. If she wanted him to see something, she’d show it to him.

A short time had passed before either of them spoke again.

“The advent of modern technology has dulled humanities magical awareness,” MJ declared.

Peter’s brow furrowed, and he turned to look at her. “Now you just sound like propaganda. Where are you hearing these things? Are you just deciding them for yourself?”

MJ shrugged while she drew. “I’ve been thinking about Mysterio’s projectors and they’re just too advanced. Like that was too real. I don’t think it’s fair that something like that is so tangible. It just completely ruins any and all thoughts of magic. What was it that he said to you? About people believing anything?”

Peter nodded.

“I don’t think they will,” she continued. “I think they’ll be skeptical and paranoid.”

“Are you?” Peter asked. “Skeptical and paranoid.”

“I figured that was a given,” MJ said flatly. “Really Peter it’s a wonder you’re able to keep anything secret when you’re so oblivious.”

“Ouch.” He leaned back in his seat and stared ahead.

MJ finally looked up from her work. “Oh, that was too much. I’m sorry.”

Peter chuckled. “No no. It’s okay. You’re right. I mean, I did give Beck the glasses. And the more I think about the time I spent with him, the more I question what was real and what was a trick.”

“Oh,” MJ said. “You probably shouldn’t dwell on that.”

“Yeah,” Peter sighed.

He didn’t stop thinking about that. In truth, aside from moments when he had something to do with his hands and was physically pre-occupied or professing his feelings to MJ on Tower Bridge, he hadn’t thought about much else. Except for obviously MJ and the realization that Uncle Ben’s suitcase was gone, he’d spent most of his down moments recalling memories from the past few days and trying to decipher what was real and what was fake. Everything Beck had said to him had been a lie. Was it all for the ultimate goal of procuring E.D.I.T.H.?

“Hey,” MJ spoke up, pulling him out of his thoughts. He turned to lock eyes with her and for a flicker of a moment, he wondered if she’d been watching him while he spaced out. “So,” she started. “Ned mentioned that I’m an F.O.S. now…“

Peter raised an eyebrow.

“Friend of Spider-Man,” MJ clarified. “Anyway, I was wondering what exactly that entails? Like are we going to swing around the city together?”

Peter hadn’t thought about that. “Do you want to?”

MJ shrugged and looked away. “I mean, I don’t know, maybe. Is it…is it fun?”

“Yeah,” Peter nodded. “I like it a lot.”

“What about fighting bad guys?” she continued. “Are we teammates now?”

“Again,” Peter shrugged. “Do you want to be?”

“I wasn’t bad with that mace,” MJ smiled proudly.

Peter smiled. “I’ve been meaning to ask you where that came from. And was it really necessary?”

“Of course,” MJ said simply, but then added: “A lady should always accessorize.”

“Right,” Peter agreed and their eyes met again and they both smiled and laughed lightly.

An attendant soon arrived with their food and they continued to crack jokes while they ate. Then afterward, when they were both winding down and MJ tucked her sketchbook away and Peter slid his phone back into his pocket, they both browsed the in-flight movie selection. They judged quite a few of the titles and completely avoided anything and everything Avengers related. Eventually, they ended up in the TV episodes and MJ found old reruns of Law & Order: SVU. Peter was untangling his complimentary airplane headphones when MJ pulled something else from her bag.

“Is that…” Peter smiled slightly and looked at her. “A dual headphone adapter?”

She smiled too. “I found it in the terminal. Figured it would come in handy. Do you…wanna go in…on an episode?”

Peter tried, and absolutely failed to suppress his happiness. “Yeah, definitely.”

Hope you guys like the callbacks to FFH. I’ll write more of them dating and being really coupley soon. See ya in the next one! :P

[callmepastah]

So. I’m litteraly going d o w n with this ship and I can’t sleep and @spideyxchelle blog (check it out is amazing) inspired me so much so here we go.

Spideychelle + trans Peter (don’t get me even start with your transphobic shit, this is an hc ok? I know he’s not canonically trans. You don’t have to read it if you don’t like it) pt. 1

SO:

Peter is such a soft boy. Like, the kind of good soft boy your parents would like to have for dinner. So pure and precious. (At least apparently)

Michelle is not soft.

Really, secretly she /is/, but she doesn’t like to show it.

Not that she is a bad person or something, but years of people making fun of her made her hide her feelings and softnees

So, she just hide. Like. A lot. She doesn’t show pain, but anger. Doesn’t show that she is hurt, but sarcasm and fierceness.

At the end, it’s not fun anymore to try to make her cry or piss her off.

Now she passes unobserved and she is fine with it.

But even if she doesn’t know why, even if she can take everything they say behind her back, she can’t take Peter doing nothing when Flash bullies him.

Like, she’s so. Damn. Pissed.

But she let it go too because not of her business, and Peter needs to learn to defends himself and she couldn’t care less like it’s Peter damn Parker right who cares right?

(Spoiler: she does)

However, Flash teases are usually just him throwing tiny paper balls at him, giving him the i-am-gonna-destroy-you-parker face and just being an asshole around him

Expect that sometimes he calls him penis Parker and a part of Michelle is really screaming PUNCH HIM out loud in her mind.

But she doesn’t, because, come on Parker, just do something already!!!

But Peter just takes his shit silently

Which makes her even more angry

However don’t you dare bullshitting me she feels bad for him when during the penis Parker “joke” she can see his face, because he always seems on the verge of tears

Ofc she does know that Peter is trans. Not that he ever came out or something, he always presented himself as Peter and it seems that nobody at school question that.

But she knows that Flash knows Peter since they were like 5, and he’s the only one being an asshole about that and even if most of the kids find the “penis Parker” jokes just a stupid thing because the sounds of the words are similar, Peter seems to be a bit too sensitive about it.

And it doesn’t take long to her to understand. I mean, she’s clever /and/ very observant (especially when it comes to Peter parker)

So after she joins the decathlon team and she starts sharing moments with him is easy to connect the dots and find out.

But she never mentions it because she couldn’t care less like ok so what he’s still the soft cute boy he has always been (DID SHE JUST CALL HIM CUTE?! SHIT)

She’s a bit sensitive to the subject: she is an activist, she is a feminist, and she is a black queer woman. Of course she is touchy about it.

And like, trans community has to take so much shit from the people outside the LGBT+ community and the community itself, it’s so damn unfair.

Like, they are people, actually human beings, suffering and being discriminated every damn day.

No wonder she doesn’t like Flash

Also we are talking about Peter and this makes her even angrier

Not that she likes him, let’s be clear (spoiler: she does)

Until one day Flash crosses the line. He’s been Peter schoolmate for years and so he knows his deadname

And he uses it. And Michelle know it is his deadname because actually Peter gets so pale and he stops himself right where he is in the middle of the hallway and he looks totally like he’s gonna have a panic attack.

And he’s crying. Actually /crying/. Well it’s just a single tear but fuck he’s CRYING

And Flash is laughing.

And she can’t take it anymore.

She gets up and just thrown her shoes to him, before pushing him back with a loud “You are disgusting!” Coming out from her lips.

He just looks at her like “what the shit Jones?!”

“Shut up, idiot!” and she is like touching Peter’s shoulder so gently “are you ok Parker?”

And Flash is just… An idiot.

“there she is, Michelle Jones herself, coming to rescue her girlfriend”

And she just punches him. Like… Litteraly crushing her fist against his face.

And it’s damn satisfying if she has to be honest.

“I said, SHUT UP, you and your stupid gross ass”

And then she just takes Peter by his hand, running before finnally pushing him into an empty classrooms

So Peter looks at her and he looks shocked and kinda horrified and… in admiration?

“you…you just…punched him” “yes. I did”

And they just stay there for like a minute and it seems like he’s trying so hard to not makes a fool of himself in front of her

And that just breaks her heart so she is like “let go Parker. It’s fine. I’m not gonna tease you if you cry. Boys can cry, you know”

and he just collapses. He crumbles in front of her, crying, big tears coming down his cheeks and sobbing

First thought “shit I fucked up. What am I suppose to do now shit” second thought “…what the hell?!” Because he’s hugging her in such a desperate way and she just….

Goes soft. And hugs him back.

After five minutes of it’s fine Parker come on it’s ok now sch you’re fine and rubbing his back gently he stops and steps back

“sorry. Thanks Michelle. I’m so so-” “cut it off. It’s ok. It’s not your fault if he’s an idiot, Peter”

AND OMG she just called him PETER and not PARKER

“anyway. Thanks. For… Everything”

And she smiles and his heart goes like /crazy/ in his chest

But then she crosses her arms and she looks at him raising an eyebrow “why do you let him tease you. Damnit Peter, just say to him to shut the fuck up!”

“I… Don’t want any trouble” “well, duh, it’s not really working”

And he just looks so mortified and his fingers are tormenting the hem of his shirt and he’s looking at his shoes

“Peter. Look at me. Why? You don’t deserve to be treated like that!”

And he’s sobbing quietly again

“because… He knows. He knows…a thing…and… I’m afraid he’ll tell everyone and I don’t…want to”

And MJ is like “what does he know? Have you killed someone, Parker?”

She’s a bit sarcastic but that makes him chuckle a little and he’s so. Damn. Cute. Damnit.

And finnally he takes a deep breath and he looks at her and just “I’m… I’m trans”

Like what the shiiiit Peter he didn’t meant to tell her just like that, he and his stupid mouth and brain and emotions and

She raise an eyebrow again “I know”

WHAT THE SHIT MJ???? is he so obvious? Doesn’t he look like a boy? Shit shit shit. He’s panicking now.

“how do you…” “I’m very observant”

And then she touch his hand gently “Peter, don’t worry. It’s not obvious or something. I’m just…” And she stops because what can she says? I am good at observing you? Very interested in your life? Creepy. But he’s breathing again so it’s fine anyway. Better don’t mess up.

“I’m queer, by the way. Like… Not straight” she just says that, like ok he’s been honest with her so why not at least they can be queer together can’t they?

And she needed something to say lol

He just looks at her “thanks for telling me”

She smiles. Actually smiles. A tiny smile. But it /is/ a smile and daaaaaaaamn she looks so cute.

But better not tell her I mean she is being kind with him and he doesn’t want her to go away and anyway it’s not like he likes like MJ lol nope totally not

“Pride is next week. Want to join?” She asks him, opening to the door

And damn she could totally be more soft with him if this means seeing that light in his eyes

“Yeah, sure” “cool. See you later”

And then just like that they start to be really friends, not the we are friend but we are not they’ve always been, and maybe, maybe this can be the beginning of something.

(Spoiler: it is)

Feel free to send me prompt or request I’m really into this fandom, ask me whatever you want I need to write about Peter and the others so damn much.
