Old Friends, New Beginnings || Peter Parker

Part 49 - Mom

"I installed a parachute in your suit, just like Mr. Parker has in his. It's just in case you ever are in a situation where you may need it." He explained, "And the mask has been raised and it covers more of your face. Just to you know, hide your identity."

"Oh, and also your suit is now fireproof," he adds, "No need to thank me, but you can. And if you feel like thanking me tell me now because I'll record it and make it my ringtone."

"It sounds great, I'll give you that," I tell him.

He takes a sip of his drink, "I should've recorded that,"

He taps a button on his watch and my suit is enclosed in the tube and it makes a noise, "Your suit will be packaged and then you can take it back with you."

Peter and I wait until we can take my suit home. Once we got my suit we left immediately. We start on the long walk home together, hand in hand.

"So, Ned told me that you were pretty sad without me," I tease.

He rolls his eyes, "I was fine, Ned was just worried." He grips my hand tighter.

"You came to school and your eyes were red, that doesn't seem fine."

"OK, I was a mess." He admits laughing.

I poke his arm, "Don't worry, I was a mess too."

I think for a minute. We've known each other since kindergarten, and I never saw him cry, except for when I left for Michigan, and when I do something to hurt him.

"Do you still want to be with me?" I stop walking and look at him.

"Of course I do. Why would you ask that?" He tells me.

I don't reply for a moment. I didn't really know what to say. I study his face again. His eyes aren't red anymore.

"I don't know, forget I said that." I continue to walk along the road.

Five minutes later right before we reached my house, Peter stopped me. I was confused on why he stopped me. But my question was answered.

He pulled my face to his and kissed my lips, and it made me realize how lucky I was to have him as my boyfriend, and my best friend.

Peter and I walk in the door to my house and notice my mom sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee. She looks worried, but surprisingly she doesn't have any papers in front of her.

I set down my bag from Tony Stark, "What's going on?"

"Y/N, we have to talk about the Stark Internship." She motions to Peter, "You have the Stark Internship too right?"

Peter nods nervously, his hand still in mine, "Mom, what's going on?"

She stands up, "I want you to quit the Stark Internship,"

"What? Why?" I ask.

"It's dangerous, being around Iron Man all the time. This world is dangerous and I don't want you to be around a man who is constantly battling criminals or aliens!"

"Aunt May lets Peter do the internship," I protest.

She sighs, "I'm not May," She grabs my hand that isn't holding Peter's, "Y/N, the Avengers, Spider-Man, and that Gemini, they're not any better than the criminals they fight. They make a mess and put others in more danger. And I don't want you near any of them."

I stood there with my mouth open. My mom didn't know but she was basically calling me a criminal. I feel my hand grow hot up against my mom's and Peter's. I remember that I can't control my powers  well when I'm upset. Peter notices because he looks at me with a worried look.

"I'm not having an argument about this. Now, you need to go upstairs and pack for when you and your dad move." She begins to walk away before I stop her.

"I'm not moving," I tell her. She turns around and walks back over to me.

"Why? You said you were going to,"

"I was bluffing. I was just upset with Peter and I wanted to say something that hurt him."

"Y/N you already agreed, the plane tickets are bought. You're going." She raises her voice.

My hand gets hot to the point that Peter has to let go, "I never asked you to buy the tickets. You guys bought the tickets before I agreed. I'm not going, Mom. I'm staying here with Peter."

Peter moves closer to me, "Calm down, you both are going to get upset."

"Give me another reason on why I should let you stay," my mom puts her hands on her hips and waits for me to reply.

I stood there for a good minute, but the answer flies out of my mouth without me even thinking, "I'm staying, because I'm Gemini."
