Crusader Returns

Chapter 5

"Do you ever regret leaving?" Peter asked quietly as you took your hands off his head and he turned his head to look at you. You looked down at the bed, "I don't regret leaving because I feel that I've grown so much and learned a lot about myself while I was away...what I do regret is having left you just like that all because of my morals..." "You regret leaving me?" Peter questioned as he sat up and put himself so you would sit between his legs. "I do...gosh we literally talked about this earlier Peter and I really don't feel like stressing out again just to have you tell me that I made a mistake, I know I made a mistake ok just...just leave my room" you said as you stood up and opened the door for him. He walked towards the door and left the room as you slammed the door and cried over your bed. You thought coming back wouldn't be so hard, you figured everything with Peter would be ok, that you would fight crime side by side. You sighed as you wiped your tears and went to bed hoping to at least get some sleep.

It was around two in the morning and you couldn't fall asleep. You decided to go get a glass of water from the kitchen, you got up and walked to your door just to have Peter fall back in his sleep and hit his head on the concrete floor, immediately waking him up in pain. "Holy!!!" he spoke as he grabbed the back of his head hoping to have the pain go away. "Peter!" you dropped down next to him and immediately and placed your hands on his head, "Hey it's ok Peter, calm down, listen to my voice ok" Peter nodded as he started breathing slower, controlling his breathing, while you were healing his pain, soon enough the pain was gone and your hands left Peter's head. You got up from the ground and so did Peter as you shut the door to your room and stood awkwardly outside it. "So what were you doing on the floor...sleeping outside my room?" you asked as you looked up to meet his gorgeous brown eyes.

"I umm...I couldn't fall asleep...I used to feel more comfortable sleeping outside your door when you were gone...so I figured I could fall asleep again outside your door and obviously I could" he chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at the ground. You nodded softly as you also looked down, "I'm umm, I'm going to go get water" you said, "Oh, right, uh go ahead" he said as he stepped to the side, "You can come with me if you want to" "I uh, sure" Peter said as he followed you into the kitchen. You poured a drink for yourself and Peter as he mouthed a thank you and sipped from the cup. "So...how long were you out there?" you asked as you set your cup down. "A few hours, not that long" he said as he took another sip of water. "You could've knocked you know, told me you couldn't sleep" "Well you kinda kicked me out of your room last time so I didn't know if it was appropriate for me to bother you or not" "You could never bother me Pete, only annoy me" you chuckled as Peter rolled his eyes with smile on his face. You both walked out of the kitchen and back to your rooms, "Peter!" you called out before he entered his room, he turned around, "If you can't sleep again just knock on the door and I'll let you in" he just nodded and went into his room.

You walked into your room and laid on your bed ready to sleep again. About half an hour later there was a knock on your door, you lazily got up and went to open the door, on the other side stood Peter with a pillow and blanket in hand. You opened it and smiled as you saw Peter, motioning him to come inside. He walked in as you closed the door and then made yourself onto your bed scooting over to the side so Peter could sleep on the other side. But instead Peter had put his stuff on the floor and laid down. You looked at him with a confused look not knowing what he was doing, "Whatcha doing there Pete?" you questioned raising a brow, "I'm umm, setting my stuff on the floor to sleep." "You can sleep on the bed with me, I don't bite" you giggled, "Are you sure? I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable, especially with the situation going on between us right now-" he got cut off as you took his stuff from off the floor and put them on your desk, then you grabbed his hand leading him onto the bed with you, you pulled the blanket over the both of you and then you curled onto your side of the bed. "Goodnight Pete" you whispered, "Goodnight Y/N". A few more moments pass by and you were finally starting to drift to sleep until you heard Peter whisper your name, you were too lazy to answer so you just kept quiet, then you heard Peter sigh. He gently rolled you over to face him and wrapped your arms around his torso as he snuggled into you more, his arm around you pulling you closer into his chest.
