peter's pov
i try not to stare at her too much
i don't want her to catch me in the act or make her feel uncomfortable
and i'm not just staring at her because she's beautiful, mr. stark gave me directions on watching over her and keeping her safe
and i don't want to let him down
i won't let him down
y/n's pov
my dad left on his mission this morning, but didn't say i couldn't go to school or anything which is odd
it's also weird that he didn't send anyone to protect me, especially since almost everyone know's i'm his daughter
so, i keep my guard up and walk to lunch
out of the corner of my eye, i see peter, watching me as always
but he stares so intensely at me like it's his job or something- wait that could be it
he could be the one that's watching over me
but he is really small..maybe he has superpowers?
i decide to test him
i walk past his table, books in my hands, pretending to trip and fall
i instantly feel warm arms around my waist that never let me hit the ground
peter steadies me on my feet, my books still in my hands, as he looks at me, worried "are you okay?"
i smile and nod "yeah, thank you"
he smiles "your welcome"
i lean close to his ear and whisper "meet me by my locker at the end of the day"
when i pull away, i see him blushing, as he nods
i send him another smile as i walk away, hearing his friend freak out
peter's pov
i feel flustered about what just happened, but then reality sinks in
what if she suspects that i have powers?
what if she thinks i do because i caught her?
ugh, i shouldn't of done that
but i couldn't just let her fall either
what if i can't deny her?
oh my gosh, mr. stark is going to kill me

y/n's pov
i stand by my locker, as it is now the end of the day
after a few minutes, i see peter walking over to me, his friend following and it seems like they are arguing
they both come to a stop at my locker as it seems their conversation stops too
"hi, y/n" ned says, waving to me awkwardly
i smile and wave back "hi, ned"
he blushes and smiles widely, mumbling "she knows my name"
peter laughs "yeah she does"
"that's so cool though because we are nobodies" ned continues
"aww you guys aren't nobodies" i say
"well we sure as hell aren't related to tony stark" ned says
i laugh "i guess not"
ned beams, looking at peter and me
"uh, ned can i steal peter for the day?" i ask
he looks at me shocked "you want him?"
i laugh "you act like he has a plague. yes, i want him"
ned blushes "okay, it was nice talking to you, y/n. hope we can do it again sometime"
i smile "for sure, i'll talk to you later ned"
he quietly squeals as he walks away causing me to laugh
i then look at peter and he looks nervous
"i'm not going to kill you or whatever. i just want to talk and hang out" i say
he nods, slowly
"do you want to go to the park?" i ask
he shrugs "sure"
~
we arrive at the park and sit on a bench with about a foot or two in between us
i close the space as i sit closer to him
"let's cut to the chase. who are you?" i ask
"i'm peter parker" he says confused
"no, what kind of superpowers do you have?"
"you're crazy, i don't have any superpowers"
"then where were you born?" i ask
"here, in queens"
"and what do you do for fun?"
he shrugs "not much"
"so no flinging webs?"
i catch a glimpse of something in his eyes as he shakes his head
"okay cut the crap" i say and lean to his ear "i know you're spiderman"
i lean back to my original position and watch him, closely
"i'm not dumb, peter. my dad wouldn't just go out on a mission and leave me unprotected. that's where you come in and you confirmed it by catching me"
he finally caves "i wasn't just going to let you fall"
i smile "well, thank you for not letting me fall then"
i stand up and he looks at me
"want to talk about this more, in a secure place?" i ask
he nods and stands up as well
i call happy and see him pull up in a car, minutes later
"hey happy, take us to my house please" i say
he looks suspiciously at peter
"oh, right, sorry. this is peter, the guy dad sent to watch after me. he is spiderman and yeah"
happy nods and starts driving
peter leans closer to me "who is that?"
i laugh "his name is happy and he helps my dad with things"
peter nods and sits back in his seat
~
when we pull up to my house, peter's eyes are wide
"this is not a house" he says
i laugh "what did you expect, you should know that my dad does nothing half way"
he nods
i get out and peter follows as i take him inside
i let him look around a while before taking him to my room where we can talk privately
"so what's it like being spiderman?" i ask
he smiles "it's awesome"
"what can you do?"
"i can shoot webs and climb buildings"
i smirk "show me"
he just looks at me
"show me. shoot a web, sit on the ceiling"
"i-i don't know. i wouldn't want to trash his house"
i roll my eyes "you won't. just show me, please"
he sighs and stands up, aiming in a corner and shaping his hand in a strange way
seconds later, there is a web on the wall and peter is holding the other half of it
i look at him with wide eyes and walk over to him
"can i touch it?" i ask
he nods "but don't get your hands tangled up in it"
i lightly touch it and see that it's sticky
"that's so cool" i say, completely amazed
he laughs at my reaction
"can you show me how you climb walls now?" i ask
he nods and lets go of the web, using his fingers and feet to stick on the wall and climb it
he casually sits on the ceiling and waves to me
i wave back, laughing
the rest of the night, peter and i messed around with his superpowers and i even helped design him some gadgets that would help him too
~
every since that night, peter and i have been super close
we always hang out at school and with ned of course
and i like spending time with him because i don't feel like tony stark's daughter when i'm with him
i feel like y/n
and i think he feels the same way when he's with me because i love both parts of him equally. i don't just like spiderman or peter parker. i just like him, as a whole
and maybe in the future, i might get the chance to show him how much he really means to me
even if my dad doesn't like it
