Peter Parker Fan Fiction

Fall for You

Summary: You and Peter have been best friends from a young age and he'd been harboring feelings for years. When you agree to go to Homecoming with him, you slow dance to the song, falling in love sweetly and slowly.

"W-would you maybe.. uhm. Would you wanna go with me?" Peter stammered out, standing outside your apartment door, your favorite flowers clutched in his hand and his best suit on- normal of course. Tonight was clearly not for the Spider-Man suit. You could see the nerves reflected in his brown eyes, and the nervous smile playing on the corners of his lips. He had his hair styled so his curls were lifted from his face and you stared at him, your cheeks burning bright red.

You looked down at your own dress, a deep blue- which just so happened to be Peter's favorite color on you- and noticed it matched his tie perfectly. "Y-you mean, like, as your date?" You stammer out nervously. Your own date, some sophomore football player named John from your history class, had bailed on you only an hour ago and had honestly been so happy about it. You had been waiting and waiting for Peter to ask you and when he didn't you had begun to lose hope... But now...

"Yeah," he responded quietly and you blushed even deeper. You looked down at your feet, hiding your large smile. He wanted to be your date. "I know you were excited to go with John, and I know he cancelled on you... so I figured..." He trailed off, gesturing to the flowers in his hand.

"I'd love to," you responded quietly, glancing at him and seeing him smile.

Peter held a hand out to you as the DJ changed from a fast paced song to a slower tune. "May I have this dance?" He said, some of his rare confidence poking through.

You looked at your best friends out stretched hand and felt the butterflies in your stomach pick up their speed. You nodded at him and took his hand. He led you through the crowd of students to the center of the floor and you could really hear the song now. One of your favorites.

"Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you... Over again... Don't make me change my mind..."

Peter nervously placed his hands on your waist, pulling you closer to him and you placed your hands around his neck, moving in time with him, dancing slowly, swaying lightly.

You could feel your skin tingle where his hands were on your hips and it made your breath catch. You cleared your throat and spoke softly. "You wanna know something, spider-boy?" You say teasing him slightly.

He looked at you amused. "It's just Peter tonight," he said. "But what is it?"

"I'm a lot happier coming with you. I never really wanted to go with John."

Peter stared at you, your y/e/c orbs shining like diamonds under the lights and he felt his heart quicken. It was true what he said to Mr. Stark all those months ago, his senses really were dialed to 11- and that included his emotions. He looked at your beautiful smile, your plump pink lips holding something back and oh how he longed to hear what other secrets they held captive behind them.

"Or I won't live to see another day... I swear its true... Because a girl like you is impossible to find... You're impossible to find..."

"Really?" He asked nervously. "Why? I'm just... Peter..." The same sentence he had used only moments before with confidence now came out differently. He didn't deserve you. Everything he had grown to love about you over the years he did not deserve to call his.

You and all your dreams, the way your brows furrowed together when you focused on a particularly hard question, your glorious laugh he had loved since the age of five, your bleeding heart, the way you held every cat that you could get your hands on like they were your baby.... And here he was... Dorky, insecure, science nerd Peter Parker. He didn't deserve the gorgeous F/N L/N.

The music continued to play as you two swayed, your heads slowly drifting together the whole time, only coming to a halt when Peter's forehead rested on yours.

"This is not what I intended.... I always swore to you I'd never fall apart.... You always thought that I was stronger.... I may have failed.... But I have loved you from the start..."

You took a deep breath and met his eyes. You thought about every time he came to your window needing to be patched up from his nightly activities, how you would hold him when he cried after a hard night, how his eyes glinted with excitement when he came up with a new chemical equation for new web fluid and how excited you always got when he was coming over. Ever since you were a child it was Peter who made you feel better. You were each others rock, the only one each of you had who never wavered.

"I think I'm in love with you, Peter Parker," you finally said. You felt Peter's hands tighten around your waist and he pulled his head away from you to get a better look at you.

"You- You love me?" He stammered out, happiness filling him.

You nodded, "Yes, I-" you started to say but you were cut off by Peter's lips crashing to yours. The kiss was sweet- your lips moving together smoothly, passion passing between the two of you with every growing second. The rumors are true... Fireworks really do exist.
