Veins and Wires // Peter Parker

Naps and Nagging

Look at what I made :D ^^

"You look terrible."

"Aw, thanks! You're too kind," Spidey responded, putting a hand to his heart.

We were sitting on the ledge of a random building, casually talking with both our masks lowered, out of sight by the public eye. After patrolling all day, thankfully we could take a decent, relaxing break. It has been a few weeks since summer break finally began and I, unlike most kids, was disappointed that school was over for the next few months.

Of course, summer meant I could finally finish my battery project and patrol with Spidey more. And I was so close to sleep in a real bed and not a cold hard metal plate.

"Have you been sleeping at all?" I asked with concern, eyeing the dark bags on his face.

"Yeah, yeah it's just I've uh...been rubbing my eyes a lot," he stammered slowly as I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Why have you been rubbing your eyes a lot?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him.

"...Because I haven't been sleeping," he admitted making me sigh at his idiocy.

"It is summer, you should be sleeping in. What have been doing instead anyway?" I scolded, rolling my eyes at him in annoyance. Gross, now I sound like a mother.

"I've been...watching...p-porn...?"

"Peter."

"Okay, fine! I've been...patrolling."

"You have been patrolling without me?!" I demanded making him wince as I gave him an offended look. Wait a minute... "Wait a minute, how much have you been patrolling? I was just trying to be nice before, you look like you have two black eyes."

"That was your version of nice?"

"Do not change the subject," I said as I crossed my arms disapprovingly.

"Just...a little bit...here and there."

"Peter!"

"Fine! I might've been sorta, kinda going out...every...night...?" I stared at him for a moment, blinking rapidly. I smacked his arm.

"Webs! We have talked about this!"

"I'm sorry, okay, I've kept losing track of time!"

"No shit! How do you expect to save people if you are exhausted all the time dumbass?!" I argued glaring at him with disapproval. "Go to bed, idiot."

"Right now?"

"YES RIGHT NOW."

"It's 6!"

"It is 10:37 pm." I stared at him as he stared back. He narrowed his eyes.

"Wait it's 10?"

"YES," I exclaimed making him 'oh...' like an idiot. "My god. You are banned from night patrolling for a few days until you get your sleep schedule less shitty."

"What!" He demanded incredulously standing up.

"I will take your night shifts while you sleep. Like a normal person," I decided making him gape at me.

"But- what if, what if something bad happens like-like a shooting or something?" He sputtered trying to find an argument. I stared at him.

"Darling, I am bulletproof."

"What if, what if they have a hostage?"

"I can just make a force field around the gun and pull it away or zap it out their hands."
