The tech in 2099 isn't actually all orange and yellow, Miguel just has all the screens in the Spider Society on eye-comfort shield at all times. And no on can figure out how to turn it off. Lyla, especially, is pissed. Because what good is coding a color wheel for her to choose from when the boss has you in yellow mode for his sensitive eyes?
i need the fandom to acknowledge peter parker and matt murdock's friendship. TALK ABT THEM MORE I WANNA SEE HCS PLLLEAASEEE
the mf's go antiquing together. they spend their time together regularly, and i don't know why people ignore this.
both have involvement with fisk, obviously, both operate in nyc and both are red fuckers with heightened abilities, they are bound to regularly run into each other.
matt's precision cancels out peter's natural clumsiness, and peter's always there to help if matt ever feels like admitting he needs it. matt teaches peter to cook beyond college student mac and cheese, and the two patch each other up when they need it.
summary: nerdy!peter has a huge crush on the popular girl, who has a reputation of sleeping with everyone.
request: yes (there wasn’t a lot in the request, so i didn’t really know what to write)
words: 670
warnings: nothing really? this is a little bit sadder than i thought it would be lol unedited :0
note: this is basically a prologue. part two is here!

the school halls were buzzing today. something was happening, or something happened. peter didn’t pay attention to anything that didn’t involve him, though. whether it was a spirit day or a new rumor or a big game, peter wasn’t interested. unless it involved you.
peter’s life felt dull and he tried to lighten it up with working hard in school; getting straight A’s, joining clubs, and even attempting some sports. however, his life felt as boring as ever. until he noticed you.
how could he not?
you were a shining light in every room you walked in. or more so, strutted into. your aura was a glowing confidence that everyone envied, even peter sometimes. whether your hair was messy, tied up, curled, or straightened— it was perfect because you were wearing it. anything you wore was flawless in peter’s eyes.
the scandalous outfits that you wore got you in trouble at least three days a week. while you’d roll your eyes and follow the principal to the office, everyone would ogle you, including peter.
while peter never paid any mind to rumors, there was one that sparked his interested. students were saying… you had slept with the principal. when peter had heard someone mumbling it while walking past, he was silently shocked. he knew you got around, maybe a little too much for some people, but he didn’t think you’d go that far. peter likes to think he knows you pretty well, even though he only sees you from a distance and has never actually talked to you. every time he has even thought about talking to you, his heart rate would increase tenfold and his palms get clammy.
swiping that from his mind, he continues his day. he shouldn’t be hurt by something that doesn’t even include him.
but because it involved you, he felt as though it involved him.
god, he had such a crush on you, it was silly.
as the first period bell rang, you powerfully pushed through the front doors of the hallway. many people stopped to look at you, as well as peter. you were wearing a black one-sleeve crop top with perfectly fitted blue jeans. you wore black velvet strapped heels that made you a few inches taller. your small, black backpack dangled from one shoulder as you strutted down the hall with a smirk on your face. peter felt himself sweating, heart pounding. he felt physically weak staring at you, but he loved it.
every day, peter looked forward to third period because you had english together. every time a group project would occur, peter would think about asking you to join him, but chickened out every single time. why should he ask you? what gives him the right? you were like a celebrity on a pedestal to peter.
peter would like to say he is observant, but he is NOT a stalker. he noticed in english you’d leave class to go to the bathroom and be gone for nearly forty-five minutes. he always wondered what you were doing, and then it clicked. rumors were spread and you didn’t deny them. well, you never denied them because you walked around too proud. but peter heard you were probably hooking up with someone in the bathroom. it didn’t surprise peter if you were, but sometimes he wishes it was him.
sometimes, he wishes you would sneak out of class to hook up with him. to be with him. he wishes you would notice him. maybe if he removed the glasses and started wearing contacts, you would. or stopped wearing collared shirts and khakis, and put some style into his clothing choices for once. maybe if ruffed his hair a bit and let it grow out.
why was he so obsessed with you to the point that he would change everything just for you to glance at him?
it felt absurd to a part of peter, but the rest didn’t care. he had the biggest crush on somebody that just wasn’t made for him.

part two!!
maybe send more requests for blurbs? fluff? angst? smut?
again, these are based on some of my experiences, but everyone’s different || T/W: hospitals, pain, & med mention
for anon ❤︎
He figured it out pretty quick — while you don't want your chronic illness to define you, the people who know you will definitely know and Peter catches on pretty darn quick, maybe it's the "spider-sense." When you found out you were a little afraid he might not be as interested because sometimes situations and symptoms aren't always pretty or fun, and at times they're barely manageable. Yet, his response to you asking if he really wanted to get into it after figuring it out was shocking. "I love you," he stated, "and that's always going to be a part of you, right? So, I don't see it as anything more than a part of you, good days and bad days, I'll still love you. If you'll still love me, Spiderman and all." With a kiss to his cheek you smile, "it's always going to be a part of you, and I love you, so looks like we're stuck together."
Pick-ups — Peter is great at picking stuff up for you. If there’s anything you need that would help ease the pain / symptoms, the moment you mention it Peter is on it. // When you’re hanging out in his room, the moment you comment “I should have brought that with me-“ Peter’s jumping up and suiting up. “Why not just walk to the store?” You ask curiously, “I’ll be faster this way!” he says with a smile. “But you really think it’ll look very superhero of you if you get-“ / “I don’t care what other people think about what I’m getting, if it’ll help you, it’s always worth it.”
Staying home after a flare — Peter’s really cool about staying home. Since he’s not “mr popular” at school he’s a-okay with not being a part of every single activity at school, in fact he’s a bit of a homebody himself. You two spend time playing old Atari video games while Aunt May makes some snacks for the two of you while you attempt to beat him in asteroids. He also shows you all the cool tech for his suit and how he’s adjusting it / making upgrades. Sometimes Ned also comes over and you all work on a Lego collection together.
↳ Peter 100% lets you try out his spider-man gear when you’re having a down day. Sometimes he brings stuff to your room, like the mask and he lets you talk to Karen or he even brings the IronSpider and lets you se all the cool stuff inside, the different settings, modes etc. You've tried out the web-shooters a few times, but found it was incredibly hard to get off the walls and it just became a nightmare when you accidentally hit the ceiling fan.
Carry you — if you’re feeling fatigue Peter aways offers to carry you, no matter where you are or the situation. This includes swinging through downtown to get somewhere faster, or simply carrying you up the apartment stairs because a symptom hit you out of nowhere. Sometimes when you don't want to draw as much attention to the fact that you need some help, he'll just hook an arm through yours and let you support yourself against him; in other settings, like of trips and walks, he'll give you a piggy-back ride.
Medication reminders — you're pretty sure Peter has your medications down better than you do. He knows where you keep them at your place, where you keep them when you come over, and where he keeps an extra few in case you forget to bring it. He's also like clock-work if you have a pill-taking schedule. No matter what you're doing he gently reminds you that you should take your medicine, something that always shocks you is he doesn't say it in a condescending tone, he makes it sound totally normal, which helps you feel more comfortable with having to take a break and take something when need be.
He’s very sympathetic — while he doesn't know how the exact pain or symptoms feel, he knows what it's like to have different and unique things going on that no one else understands. That's a reason he always wants to be there for you, even if you just want to vent about the fact that you feel like no one sees your pain half the time, unless it's a major emergency, which then of course, when you don't want people to know, everyone seems to know and ask about it. Peter wants you to know that it’s a safe space to vent and talk about your feelings and how your feeling, even if it’s the same as you felt yesterday.
Doctor's appointments — Peter gets really nervous when you go to the doctor, he wants to be there, but knows he can’t always be there. However, he loves texting you while you’re in the waiting room, anything to keep your mind a little distracted while waiting. He’s a big fan of Snapchat, which results in some retry hilarious distractions for yourself. // You almost always call or FaceTime him with the results or just how the appointment went when you’re done.
Hospital visits — Aunt May and Peter visit you a lot when you're in the hospital. Aunt May brings you your favourite snacks and always makes sure to bring blankets, pillows, and anything else to make the room feel a little more like home. Peter also brings some familiar stuff, but most of all he just wants to spend time with you. He hates the idea of you being alone just waiting around for someone to come keep you company.
↳ in fact he hates the idea of you being alone so much that he's asked if he can stay overnight with you. The hospital says no, because he's not of age or relation status to do so. However, that doesn't stop him. After nightfall, Peter will scale the side of the hospital, find your room, and come in through the window. Naturally he brought his backpack with him, containing an extra blanket and pillow. Those nights are the best, because you wind up falling asleep in his arms. And even though the doctor give supi a weird look and asks if you had that hoodie on last night, it’s total worth it.
Lots and lots of affection — Peter loves doting on you physically, he wants you to know that you are loved and that you’re beautiful, no matter what your pain, flares, and bad days look like, you are loveable! He always greets you with a hug and loves holding your hand. He loves cuddling you or being cuddled by you, he’s a-okay with you being more dominant in the cuddle department, he just likes being close to you and feeling you near him. Other times when you want to be held he is absolutely going to comfort and cuddle the heck out of you—
↳ Peter’s dedicated to you, he’s in it for the long haul, so if that means cradling you because your shaking on the bathroom floor unsure of how your flare is going to behave to sitting with you (or outside and just beside you) while you take a bath, or staying with you in bed because you’re too tired, or hanging out on the sofa where you’ve made camp for the weekend, etc. He just wants to be with you.
Am I going to stop learning random facts about the heroes so I can learn how the villains could exploit their weaknesses? Also no.
So, in conclusion, I will continue bugging all my friends with facts about heroes while internally plotting their demise. (The hero's, not my friend's)
