tom holland imagines

problem {peter parker}

🕷

i ran to peter's house, being that he only lives a few streets away from me

i knock on his apartment door and may opens it, looking at me, confused as to why i was panting and sweaty

"oh, peter told me to run here cause he got a new comic book" i cover up

in reality, i didn't come to school today and ned texted me saying that peter got beat up by flash

she nods and lets me in

i walk to peter's room, knocking on the door

he opens it and lets me in, not looking up from the floor

i sit on his bed and wait for him to join me

he slowly walks over to me, still staring at the damn floor

i stand up and he stops

i put my finger under his chin and tilt his face up

i gasp when i see a bruise forming on his cheek, a black eye, and a busted lip

i look into his eyes, searching for an answer

"why'd he do this?" i ask, quietly

"he said that you weren't there to save me"

i drop my hand from his face "it was my fault"

he grabs my hands "no, this is not your fault. it's his, okay?"

i nod and he smiles, but it drops

"plus that's not even all of it" he whispers

i look at him, worried

i reach for his shirt and slowly lift it up, revealing a large bruise covering his abdomen

i drop his shirt as i walk out of his room and into the kitchen

i grab a bowl full of ice and some towels

"what are you doing?" may asks

"oh, just a little experiment"

she nods and walks back to her room

i walk back to peter's room and tell him to lay down

i put some ice in a towel and hand it to him so he can put it on his eye

i put ice in another towel and lift up his shirt, gently placing it over the bruise that is slowly forming

he winces

"sorry" i whisper

"it's okay. just stings a little"

"no, i'm sorry about today. i should've been there. i feel so bad and i-i just wish you weren't hurting"

"y/n, it's okay. i'm fine, really. don't worry about me"

"but that's all i do peter, i worry about you. i worry about you because i care about you and you are everything to me. and seeing you like this kills me"

"y/n, i love that you care for me, but i'd rather be in this situation if it keeps you safe. you know flash, he doesn't care if he hits a girl or boy. so if i have to go through this so that you're safe, i'd do it a hundred times"

by now, tears are streaming down both of our cheeks

i lean over and kiss his cheek, tasting his salty tears "i don't deserve you, peter"

"no, y/n, i don't deserve you. look at what you are doing for me. i wouldn't have thought to do this myself and i can't tell aunt may. you are already doing so much. thank you"

i smile "your welcome"

we are both quiet for a moment

"peter, the problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt while the stupid ones are full of confidence" i gently place a hand on his cheek "there is absolutely nothing wrong with you and it's okay to doubt yourself, but it's also good to take risks and be confident at times and stand up for yourself"

he nods and sniffs

i smile, lightly, and lean in to kiss his cheek again

but this time, he moves his head last minute and my lips land on his soft ones as my heart beats loudly in my chest and my stomach is swarmed by butterflies

when we pull away, breathlessly, he looks at me and smiles

"now the only problem is that you aren't my girlfriend"

i lean close to him again and smile "i think i can fix that one"

and with that, i was officially peter parker's girlfriend

🕷

a/n: fuck, i am so soft for nerds
