LATE NIGHTS
Peter Parker x male reader
Summary: Peter Parker's boyfriend gets anxious while he is on patrol.
The late nights never got easier for Y/N. Even after all these years. He waits for the sweet peace of sleep to come but he knows it won't, at least not anytime soon, not until he feels safe. Y/N pulls the duvet tighter around him burying his face into a pillow.
The elevated train running loudly past the apartment and the busy streets of New York City should be what's keeping him up. However, that was just white noise for the city boy. The paranoia and loneliness was what ate at Y/N. A small squeak from the window caught his attention, he simply closed his eyes.
A figure quietly entered the dark room. Y/N knew the other man's eyes were on him, although he couldn't see him. The shadow stood there for a while. What is he waiting for.
"I know you're awake n/n," Peter finally spoke, his chipper voice lighting up the room that was barely illuminated by the moon.
Y/N opened his eyes but didn't turn to face his boyfriend before responding, "I figured you would be tired after patrol," Peter's heart ached at Y/N's soft tone, he knew the poor guy was worrying about him again. The hero pulled his mask off and sat on the bed next to Y/N gently rubbing his back.
Peter shot a web across the room and flipped on the lights, he then held a paper in front of his boyfriend as he nuzzled into his back. Y/N relaxed against Peter allowing himself to sink against his boyfriend's chest. He recognized the wrinkled paper as a menu to one of his favorite pizza spots in Queens.
"Leo's," He said in a shocked tone, "They've been closed for years. Right?"
"Since college, but I saved this after our first date in eleventh grade. I kept it in one of my old backpacks from high school. Found it while on patrol." Peter kissed Y/n on the cheek and stood from the bed.
Y/n sighed softly, he appreciates Peter for checking on him but now he just wants to cuddle. He immediately curses himself for being selfish. The city needs him and like he always says, with great power comes great responsibility. Y/n always loved that quote.
"Babe, I'm not going back out tonight...I'm all yours," Peter hit a button on his suit that loosened it letting him easily slip out,"gonna hop in the shower. Care to join me?"
