Chapter 4: Ditto
Time passed with the same routine but Moonlight and Spider-Man grew closerâŠand flirted more. Luna would always initiate it but Spider-Man would always follow. Sometimes if she was feeling extra spicy that night she would pull the zipper of her suit down enough to see the insane amount of cleavage the tight leather suit gave her. Out of the corner of her eye she would sometimes catch him looking for a second. It would only make her grin wide but she never called him out, not wanting him to stop looking.Â
The pair were currently sitting in a very empty central park after having had a very slow night. It was nearing midnight which was usually around the time they would call it a night. They sat beside each other, Luna with her legs crossed and facing Spider-Manâs side who had his legs stretched out in front of him as he leaned back on his hands as they talked about movies, specifically Ghost.
âLook, Iâm not saying that it was a bad movie!â Spider-Man argued from his place beside her. âIâm just saying I didnât like it!â
âThatâs fine. Youâre entitled to your wrong opinion.â Moonlight shrugged.Â
âName one good thing about it.âÂ
âThe end when he tells her he loves her and heâs always loved her and she says ditto like câmon!â
âThatâs my issue with it!â
âWhat?!â
âI would never say ditto when someone tells me they love me.â He scoffed.
âWhat would you say then?â
Peter stared at the woman beside him and sat up so that he could lean in closer. The smile fell from Moonlightâs face but her doe eyes looked at him in a way that spurred him on to do what he wanted.Â
âI wouldâŠI would cup her face.â His hands came up to tentatively cup Lunaâs face, her mask grazing the edges of his thumbs. âAnd I would.â He breathed, hearing her heartbeat pickup just like his had. âAnd I would tell her that sheâs my everything and I love you cannot compare to how I feel about her.â

Chapter 2 - Partners in Fighting Crime
âSo did the bad guy you talked to give you any idea of what time this mega size drug deal was about to go down?â Spider-Man as he and Moonlight sat waiting behind a bunch of wooden crates in a warehouse on the docs.Â
Moonlight had aided in an arrest earlier in the night in a separate part of town than Spider-Man had been in. Sheâd overheard two of the suspects talking about how they were going to be dead for missing the deal that was going down at the âfun houseâ. After doing a little googling she found out that the fun house was a nickname for a warehouse called Jimmyâs Supplies where party supplies was made and shipped.Â
âNope.â Luna said, popping the p.Â
âDid you get any names?â
âNope.â
âDo you know anything else?â
âNope.â
Spider-Man threw his arms up in exasperation. âOf course not.â
âAll I know is itâs happening.â She shrugged, looking at her long black nails. Sheâd cut slits the glove of her suit for stiletto nails to go through since sheâd got her nails done a couple days ago. She had to admit that she was obsessed with them.Â
Spider-Man looked at the woman he had only recently started teaming up with some nights and shook his head. The guys she overheard were probably talking about another night or maybe even giving Moonlight false information to throw them off so they would miss something that was actually going to happen. His senses werenât going off and nothing seemed amiss. This was why he worked alone.Â
âLook, I appreciate you sharing information with me but I donât think anything is going to happen tonight- at least not here.â Spider-Man stated, hands on his hips.Â
Lunaâs eyes flashed up but she didnât move from her seat on a crate where her feet were propped up on another, legs crossed. âYou wanna go thatâs fine, I just figured we could work together. Iâm not going anywhere, though.â
He stared at her for a second before nodding. âIâll see you around.â
Moonlight gave a two fingered salute. âLater, buggy.â
Spider-Man took off from the warehouse and left the docs, heading back into the city. He quickly found a massive hostage situation going down at a gala at the MET. This was probably what those two guys had been talking about. Theyâd probably used code words so no one would know what they were actually talking about. Moonlight still had a lot to learn.
âHave any demands been made?â Peter asked as he jumped down from his web, walking up to the police chief.Â
âNone. My guess is theyâre robbing the actual museums. Lotta art in there worth millions.â
Peter nodded before swinging his web up so that he could come in from the way they would least expect it: the ceiling.Â
The glass ceiling gave him a perfect view as to what was going on inside. There were maybe fifteen masked guys, all armed and pointing their guns at the nicely dressed guests who were all terrified and cooperating. He tried to come up with a plan but none of them had good odds.
âFuck it.â He mumbled before webbing up one of the window panes and then pressing down hard on it to shatter it. The web muffled the sound and held the glass so none of it fell below. He webbed it into a ball that he cast below, he would come back for it later, and started to lower himself down by his web. He was only a few feet down before he realized there was a couple of the armed men in a corner, talking among themselves and not paying attention. He quickly shot his web at them to cover their mouths and stick them to the wall, their guns falling but Peter grabbed them with his web and back to him, bringing them back up to the roof before going back down. Two down and thirteen to go.
He repeated this three more times, taking out the ones he could before knowing it was time to switch tactics. He was going to start pulling out the hostages.Â
He crawled down the corner of the wall where there were large drapes so no one would see him. When he was down he looked up and took out the window directly above him like he had the one. He then got the attention of two women who were just a few feet from him, both shaking and crying.Â
âQuietly.â He whispered.
They came over and he directed the first one to hold onto him. She gripped tight and he was shooting a web up and climbing it as fast as he could. One the roof, he jumped down it and set her on the ground.Â
âThank you, Spider-Man.â She cried, hugging him. âPlease you have to save, Hannah too. Sheâs my sister.â
âIâm getting everyone out. Iâll be right back.â
Peter did the same with Hannah and two more guests and then another guest and so on. He knew he could only get so many people out before the hostage-takers noticed but he wanted as many people out as he could before any gunfire started.
There were two hundred people and he knew he had gotten around fifty around by the time the room was noticeably emptier.Â
Heâd only saved five more people before he heard the yell when he was just going back inside.Â
âOi! Greg! We got company.â
Peter knew heâd been spotted and dropped down from the ceiling, landing on his feet in the middle of the room. âMind if I drop in?â
Gunshots rang out at the same time Peter started shooting his webs to take their guns. He dodged bullets and grabbed guns, trying to grab them as they came flying to him. He disarmed them all and threw the guns to nearby guests. âCan you hold these for a second please!â
It was Spider-Man against ten guys, hand to hand. Peter even made it easier for them by not using his web shooters.Â
âYou could try harder! Come on! I could do this blindfolded!â He egged.Â
Just a few minutes later he was looking at ten guys on the ground who were either unconscious, surrendering, or too in pain to stand. âThat was just sad. You guys really need to train more.â
He jogged over to where the giant doors were and opened them up, dozens of SWAT behind the door. âYouâre welcome.â He stated.Â
He walked out and noticed that police cars were taking off with their sirens on.
âWhatâs going on?â Peter asked an officer walking past him.Â
âSome kind of huge drug deal going down at the docs. Looks like itâs Kingpin and his guys.â
Peter froze, only able to think one thing: Moonlight. Heâd left her there all alone.
Shooting a web out, he took off and started swinging as fast as he could for the docks. Kingpin was no one to mess with. Heâd been seriously injured by him on several occasions and always worried when they had any kind of encounter. His men were all incredibly trained and skilled. He had a hard time himself when it came to that organization. Moonlight was still finding her footing as a fighter and wasnât as skilled of one as he was. She did have her powers as an advantage but it would be her against dozens of highly lethal men.
He felt like such an ass and so stupid. He should have listened to her. He assumed because she was new at this she didnât know what she was doing and he may be the reason she gets seriously hurt or worse.Â
He arrived before the cops and went right to the warehouse Moonlight had been in. He could hear voices when he was close enough but it didnât sound like any kind of a fight was happening. That wasnât good news. Either Moonlight left orâŠor she was down. The thought put a knot in his stomach.
He slipped in through a broken window in the back, looking for her. He was panicking a little and he tried to rationalize that she would be okay. She could simply be out cold somewhere.Â
The area that they had been in before was now swarmed with Kingpins men, all armed and all very dangerous. The guys he had just taken out at the MET were nothing compared to these guys. These guys would actually be a challenge for him.Â
He scanned the room and gripped the edge of the crate he was hiding before when he saw a head of long white hair on the ground behind some oil barrels. She wasnât moving and he couldnât separate her heartbeat from everyone elseâs to know if she was alive or not. He needed to find a way to get to her.Â
It was easier thought than done. He was nearly spotted several times but managed to get over to where she was. She was in a pool of her own blood with her hands on her stomach and eyes shut, skin pale. But her chest was rising and falling. She was still alive. The relief that washed over him made him dizzy.
He crawled over to her and put his hand on her cheek, patting gently. âMoonlight.â He whispered. âWake up.â
Her eyes flashed open and she put her hand right to his throat. âItâs me!â He whisper screamed.Â
Her hand dropped at the recognition. âW-What are you doing here?â
âSaving you, obviously.â He looked down to the wound in her stomach. It looked like sheâd been shot. âI gotta get you out of here.â
She shook her head. âHold on. Iâm okay.â
He looked at her like sheâd grown a third head. âIn case you didnât notice youâve been shot like a thanksgiving turkey!â He hissed in a whisper.Â
âReally?â She huffed with a roll of her eyes. âI thought theyâd missed. Look, I need you to take it out.â
âTake what out?â
âThe bullet.â
His eyes widened behind his mask. âWhat? You mean like reach in and pull it out?!â
âYes.â
âAre you crazy?!â
âJust do it!â
âNo! Iâm not putting my fingers in you like some war medic on the battlefield! Iâm taking you to a hospital!â
âItâs not that big of a deal! Just reach in and get it out!â
He huffed through his nose before looking down to the bullet wound in her stomach that was still bleeding. âI have no idea how this is going to do any good. Youâre still going to have a freaking hole in you.â
Out of the corner of his eye he could see her brace herself, one hand gripping the edge of an oil barrel they were behind.Â
Moonlight made no noise as Peter dug around for the bullet but he could tell she was in agony, a sweat breaking out on her forehead and her heart racing, body rigid and tense. She looked like she was in a lot less pain than was actually in. He knew how excruciating it was to dig a bullet out of your body.
When he pulled it out he watched as she panted for a second.
âNow what?â
âJust be quiet.â She snapped.
He bit back a huff and watched as her hands went to her stomach and they started glowing.Â
âWhat are you doing?â
Moonlight didnât answer and her hands continued to glow on her stomach. When she pulled away, he could see clean, closed flesh where the bullet hold had been.
He gasped, speaking through it. âWhat the fuck?â
âI can heal myself and others.â
âAnd you didnât mention this earlier?!â
âIt never came up!â She whisper screamed back. âWe can talk about it later!â
The two were a great team. On their own they struggled to take on Kingpinâs men but together they were able to not only take them all down, but stop the drug deal from taking place. They recovered millions in drugs and illegal weapons. And they were both still alive as they walked out of the warehouse, beaten to hell but still alive. Kingpin had slipped away in the chaos, but Peter was just glad they had stopped the entire thing altogether and were both still alive.
Red and blue lights flashed around them as they walked off after giving their statements,, exhausted and ready to call it a night.Â
âThanks.â Moonlight spoke, breaking the silence. âI uh probably would have died if you hadnât found me and woken me up. I was out cold.â
Spider-Man shook his head. âI owe you an apology. I shouldnât have doubted you like that. I left you by yourself andâŠwell Iâm really sorry.â
Luna smiled at him. âAll good.â
Silence took over as they walked.Â
âHey, you think you can heal this black eye? Itâs making my head throb.â
âOh yeah totally.â
Peter stopped and faced her. Luna reached up and cradled his masked head, letting her hands glow to heal. When she pulled away he felt better than he had in years. She might have healed wounds he didnât even know he had yet.Â
âWow thatâs good stuff.â
âI know right?â
âI feel like a brand new human being.â
âYeah.â She nodded, grinning wide.Â
âIf you could find a way to bottle this and sell it youâd be rich.â
She shrugged. âNah. I like being a masked vigilante too much. Well I gotta get going. Work tomorrow and all.â
She turned to go and Peter wet his lips before jogging over to her. âHey so maybe we could kind of team up.â
âWhat like work together?â
âYeah. I mean, look at how awesome we were back there. And I could really use your help and I think maybe you could use mine.â
âYou dig one bullet out of a girl and automatically think she needs your help.â She rolled her eyes but then smiled. âBut okay fine. Partners in fighting crime it is.â
âPartners in fighting crime it is.â He agreed.
She gasped. âYou know what they could call us? Spider-Moon!âÂ
âNope. Iâve changed my mind.â
âYes! Itâs great!â
He turned and walked off. âNot calling us that!â
Two days later when Peter was walking to work he passed a news stand and stopped before backtracking. On the cover of the New York Times in bold black letters was âSPIDER-MOON: NYâS HEROES TEAM UP.â
âMoonlight.â He concluded with a shake of his head before walking off.Â
He got maybe ten feet before he turned back around, pulling out his wallet with a sigh. He grabbed one off the rack and paid before stuffing it in his back with a grumble.Â
This one fucked me up in the best way
Summary: Peterâs superhuman senses make things crystal clear: she got a boyfriend and didnât tell him. Why else can he smell menâs shampoo in her hair when sheâs used the same cherry blossom one for years?
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader (she/her pronouns, no Y/N); fluff, best friend trope, happy ending
Words: 2K
âââââââââââââ
Spring is Peter Parkerâs favorite season, for a number of reasons: first and most importantly, it has the perfect temperatures to wear the suit in. Not too hot, not too cold, and thereâs no chafing from patches of sweat. Second, it was his girlâs favorite season as well, and the time when she brought out and experimented with her cutest outfits.
Well, his girl - she isnât really, but itâs hard to think of her as anything else. A lifelong best friend and the ultimate âwhat ifâ was more appropriate.
Late afternoon spring walks through Central Park are his favorite because theyâre her favorite, and he obliges every time she asks, even if heâs otherwise occupied. His mind rolls a giant wheel of fortune, wondering what top she might wear, or which scarf will bring out her eyes, and heâs trapped. Fashion is his last concern, but with her, he pays attention; he always does.
Like now, for example. Heâs paying so much attention to the scent of menâs shampoo coming from her hair that it constricts his heart and etches a frown into his features.
No.
His entire body is protesting by turning inside out. His throat is closing up and his chest feels hot. Whatever concentration he had before this has packed its bags and left.

HIII!! I saw that you requests are open so here is mine :D What if reader got Peter flowers? <333
A/N: I love this! lets pretend I posted this yesterday on Valentine's day lol
Love, Sunshine, and Beauty
Peter was a really kind and thoughtful boyfriend. He always did like things for y/n like leaving little notes for her to find while he was on patrol and she had just gotten home from work. One time he left a small flower that he must have picked from the bush outside on the soap holder in the shower. He was always doing things to make her smile and know that he thought about her and wanted to make her smile, even if he wasn't there to see it. Being Spider-Man made him miss out on some things that he wished he could be there for like the birthday party she had last year that her best friend threw her at a bar in Brooklyn. It being at night, Peter wasn't able to make it and she understood but it bothered him a lot that he wasn't there for his girlfriends birthday party. That was when the little things had started and y/n adored them more than Peter knew. So when Valentine's day came around, she realized that this was her chance to do something sweet for Peter like he often did for her.
She'd never bought flowers before, especially not for a man so she wasn't sure what to get. She wandered around the grocery store looking at the tons of different arrangements they had but none of them stood out to her until she came across a bouquet of sunflowers, red roses, and daisies. They all meant something that was so true to Peter. It was perfect.
Their shared apartment was empty when she got home and she knew Peter was most likely at the lab still. They had early dinner plans for Valentine's day so he would be home shortly.
After putting the bouquet in a vase with some water, she left it on the counter that faced the front door with a card that she propped up to stand and a small box of chocolates before getting in the shower.
Peter closed the front door behind him, hearing the shower and knowing y/n was in it. They had dinner plans shortly and he couldn't wait to take her to the restaurant. It was where they had their first date two years ago and also the same place she had told him she loved him for the first time just a few months later.
He looked up and stopped in his tracks.
On the kitchen counter was a vase with different flowers. At first, he immediately thought that someone else had given them to her before he had a chance to give her the roses he had in had in his hand, but then he saw the propped card with his name on it.
He dropped his backpack on the empty counter space and picked up the card and opened it.
Peter, Happy Valentines day, my love. I know men don't usually receive flowers, even on v-day but I wanted to give you back some of the beauty you give to me every day. The roses are for how much I love you, the sunflowers are for the sunshine you bring into my life, and the daisies are for the beauty that is you. I love you endlessly.
                                 -love, y/n
Peter smiled wide and kissed the card before setting it down and taking in the flowers, seeing her meaning in each type. He knew how lucky he was to be love by her and he felt her love with the gesture and with the beautiful flowers. He was saddened that he wouldn't be able to keep them forever. Maybe he could have one of each pressed and framed. He would have to look into that before they died.
The sound of the shower stopping had him moving and he was coming into the bedroom at the same time y/n was getting out with a towel around her.
"Hey, babe." She beamed. "Happy Valentine's."
He pulled the bouquet of roses out from behind his back, his face partially hidden by them and a smile a mile wide pulling his at his lips.
"Peter." She cooed, taking them. "These are gorgeous."
"Happy Valentine's day, baby."
"Did you see yours?" She asked hopefully.
"No one's ever gotten me flowers before and I love them." He kissed her cheek, thinking back to the arrangement that was sitting on the kitchen counter fondly.
A year later, y/n walked down the aisle with a bouquet of red roses, sunflowers, and daisies.
A/N: hereâs part two of the sun is a blue moon! I wrote this once and hated it about 3k in so I scrapped it and started over and Iâm waaaay happier with how it came out than what I originally had planned. Oh and it ended up all being from Peters third person view somehow??? yeah idk. I hope yâall like it <3

Peter looked back to his notes, checking to make sure his measurements were correct before adding the white cap into the potion, the bubbling encouraging him further. He observed the reaction before picking up his pen and jotting down what he saw on the marked up page, his pinkie smudging the still drying inscriptions on the line above. He adjusted his glasses before continuing on with his work, his mind wandering to y/n who was currently in care of magical creatures while he was in his free period, working on his own potions. His eyes flashed down to the small daffodil colored yarn bracelet that was woven in with white yarn that she had made for him. Everyone in their group had gotten one that she made them in their house color except him. He was special and got her house color. Her glowing face filled his mind and he couldnât help but smile a little.Â
Peter Parker was in love.Â

Chapter 4: Ditto
Time passed with the same routine but Moonlight and Spider-Man grew closerâŠand flirted more. Luna would always initiate it but Spider-Man would always follow. Sometimes if she was feeling extra spicy that night she would pull the zipper of her suit down enough to see the insane amount of cleavage the tight leather suit gave her. Out of the corner of her eye she would sometimes catch him looking for a second. It would only make her grin wide but she never called him out, not wanting him to stop looking.Â
The pair were currently sitting in a very empty central park after having had a very slow night. It was nearing midnight which was usually around the time they would call it a night. They sat beside each other, Luna with her legs crossed and facing Spider-Manâs side who had his legs stretched out in front of him as he leaned back on his hands as they talked about movies, specifically Ghost.
âLook, Iâm not saying that it was a bad movie!â Spider-Man argued from his place beside her. âIâm just saying I didnât like it!â
âThatâs fine. Youâre entitled to your wrong opinion.â Moonlight shrugged.Â
âName one good thing about it.âÂ
âThe end when he tells her he loves her and heâs always loved her and she says ditto like câmon!â
âThatâs my issue with it!â
âWhat?!â
âI would never say ditto when someone tells me they love me.â He scoffed.
âWhat would you say then?â
Peter stared at the woman beside him and sat up so that he could lean in closer. The smile fell from Moonlightâs face but her doe eyes looked at him in a way that spurred him on to do what he wanted.Â
âI wouldâŠI would cup her face.â His hands came up to tentatively cup Lunaâs face, her mask grazing the edges of his thumbs. âAnd I would.â He breathed, hearing her heartbeat pickup just like his had. âAnd I would tell her that sheâs my everything and I love you cannot compare to how I feel about her.â
Even though he stopped speaking, his hands never left her face. Luna leaned in, her hands finding their way to his chest, resting them flat against it as her eyes fluttered closed when their noses brushed together. Her hands slid up to his neck where the edge of his mask was. He could feel her breath against his mask and he could smell the sugary cotton candy she had had earlier in the night from a street vendor. It made his head spin and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
His mask started to come up and Peter trusted her to know that she wouldnât take it off and she didnât. She let it rest on his top lip like she had seen him do before.Â
Hands falling down to her neck, he brushed his lips against hers. They always looked so rosy and soft and pillowy and he wanted to kiss them so badly.
The sound of sirens had them breaking apart quickly. They couldnât be seen like that in public and they had very much forgotten where they were, Peter especially. Moonlight made him forget a lot of things.Â
âI should uh check on that.â Moonlight breathed as she ran a hand through her alabaster hair, her heart still beating faster than usual. âJust one cop car so it shouldnât be anything crazy. Probably just a B and E.â
âYeah.â Peter agreed. âIâll see you tomorrow.â
Smirking, she nodded. âOf course. Night, buggy.â
Peter watched her go until she was out of sight before he turned and headed home. He replayed their almost kiss over and over again in his head. He could feel her hands on his chest and hear the way her breath hitched when he cupped her face. He wanted to kiss her so badly. But if they kissed then it would change everything. If they went beyond their partners in fighting crime status then eventually that would lead to finding out names and identities and becoming important to one another.Â
But Moonlight was already important to him. Over the course of the last six months she had become someone that he cared deeply for. He wasnât madly in love with her but he did love her. She was one of his people and he only had one other person, Aunt May, and he knew that if he were in the situation that he would take a bullet for Moonlight.Â
He already loved her and he knew that if they took things further- if they kissed and learned names and identities then he would be in love with her. He knew that he would fall so fast and hard for her. Peter knew that he looked at her like she hung the damn stars in the sky when she was rambling at ninety miles an hour about wilted lettuce or some random ass topic. He knew that he was so physically attracted to her that he would have dreams about taking her skin tight suit off of her. He knew that it would be so easy for him to fall in love with her. It would be like breathing. They fit together so well. Their banter, their sarcastic remarks, the way they fought alongside each other like they always had been partners. He knew it would be so easy.
Peter hadnât been with anyone since Gwen- not seriously any way. A year ago he had come back from another universe and found a way to get himself out of the grief he had been stuck in for so long. He had been stuck in Gwenâs death for years and meeting his brothers, seeing that he could be happy like them, changed him and gave him hope. Then just six months later Moonlight came along. It was like it was meant to happen.Â
At the beginning his reasons for trying to tell himself they couldnât be together was safety above all. He didnât want Luna to end up like Gwen had. But Moonlight was already her own hero and fought the bad guys everyday. Whether they got together or not she would be on the front lines still, just like he was. She was already her own target and plus, she could take care of herself. Moonlight was insanely powerful and he was in awe of that every day.Â
There was no reason they couldnât be together.Â
As he got into bed, he couldnât get her out of his head. Now that he was opening up to the idea of them he was wanting it more and more. He had half a mind to get out of bed and find her and kiss her. He wanted so badly to kiss her. To hold her face in his hands and feel her body pressed against his and taste the cotton candy on her tongue. Feel her soft hair beneath his hands. He had such a thing for her hair. It was so thick and voluminous and the way it moved in the wind; there was something about it that he loved.Â
He decided then that tomorrow when he saw her he was going to kiss her and nothing was going to stop him.Â
Well, other than quite literally everything possible. He found it nearly impossible to get out of work on time due to a small break through in the team he was overseeing. He couldnât just leave in the middle of it which was right around the time he was supposed to leave for the day. Then when he finally did get out he missed his bus. Not worrying about it, he changed into his suit in an alleyway right by the lab only to be accosted as soon as he was leaving the alley by an elderly woman who had lost her cat. All the while Moonlight was probably already out on patrol and he wasnât kissing her like he so desperately wanted to be.
After finding Mittens the cat, he made his way to the Empire State where Moonlight may or may not be. Of course, she wasnât up there when he showed up and Peter groaned, pulling out his phone and opening up the police scanner to try and see if he could find out where Moonlight was. It took a few minutes but her name came across the scanner making him perk up.Â
âPossible bank robbery on Fifth and Madison. Be advised Moonlight is on scene sans Spider-Man. Looks like it might be Kingpin.â
Before the last sentence was even finished, Peter was swinging off the building and headed toward Fifth street, excited to have another chance at maybe taking down Kingpin, kicking some criminal ass, and kissing the girl.Â
The scene he walked onto was just starting to unfold, a shootout beginning. Moonlight was stationed behind a car and sending out blasts of energy to try and take out those shooting at her and the cops. As Peter landed behind the car a few feet away from Moonlightâs, he realized it wasn't the Kingpin but the Russian mob by the patches on the back of their jackets. They were nasty to deal with but they werenât anything he and Moonlight couldnât step on.
âYouâre late to the party!â Moonlight called with a grin as she used her magic to remove a machine gun from some guy's hands fifteen feet away.Â
âSorry, long line for ice!â Peter snarked before webbing one guy to a wall. They were being shot at by maybe ten guys, all behind parked carsÂ
Moonlight couldnât keep the grin off her face as they worked to take down those who were shooting at them. She was in high spirits from a great day at work, she got a wonderful tip that would go toward buying a new phone since her current one was starting to randomly make calls because it was so old and messed up. Last night when Spider-Man almost kissed her had really set the tone for the good day, though. She had decided that she was going to kiss him as soon as she had the chance. There was something between them and she wanted to find out what it was and explore it.Â
Everything stood still when Luna saw Spider-Man get shot.Â
It was at the hands of one of the mob's men who was too good of a shot and he got Spider-Man right in the chest. It made Luna gasp as she saw the bullet hit him, time feeling like it was moving in slow motion. Her eyes were wide with horror and her heart feeling like it had stopped. It made him stumble back from the force and fall behind a car.Â
He didnât move after that and Luna knew that if she didnât get to him and heal him, she might very well lose the only person in the world she cared about.
Not worrying if she got shot, she ran out from behind the car that acted as a shield and into the open, covering her head with her hands and trying to remain low as he got behind the car Spider-Man was behind.
Luna dropped down to her knees in front of him where he lay unresponsive and bleeding too fast for her liking. She desperately searched for the bullet inside his chest, anxiety pouring off her in waves and tears gathering in her eyes as she searched frantically, her heart pounding in her chest like a jackhammer. Her gloved hands were making it more difficult so she ripped them off.
When she found the bullet she cast it aside and put her blood covered hands over the bleeding bullet wound and closed her eyes, letting it flow through her and heal. She unfortunately barely got started before she heard the sound of bullets hitting the car they were behind. She needed more time that she didnât have. Not there, anyway. She needed to get them out of there.Â
Not caring about the consequences, she closed her eyes and let the energy gather in her hands like a spring before she released it. She let it come out of her hands like weapons towards the shooters, sending anyone in its path flying back like a bomb had gone off. It gave her the time and clearance she needed to run at blurred speed to Spider-Man. He was all she was thinking about.
Using her magic she picked Spider-Man up and ran, damn near floating, to the one place she felt safe and was just two blocks away: her apartment. She didnât care about anyone seeing them or Spider-Man behind in her apartment. She only cared about making sure he lived. Â
She didnât even know if Spider-Man was alive anymore by the time she was bringing him in through her window to lay him down on the tile floor.Â
Luna ripped off her mask before bringing her hands to his chest and trying to heal him as fast as she could. There was so much blood and she was so terrified. If there was anyone who deserved to be saved it was him. Spider-Man was the physical embodiment of good. He was who she strived to be like. There was no purer heart on this earth than him. And she was falling in love with him. They would have nights on the top of the empire state building when they were waiting or on slow nights where they would talk for hours. He had come to learn her story; he knew things about her no one else on the earth did. He was so gentle when he was around her and no one had ever been gentle with her before. She was falling in love with him and if he died she might shatter.Â
She didnât know his name yet. She still didnât know who the man behind the mask was. She didnât know his favorite childhood memory or who was his favorite person on the planet. She didnât know if had any pet peeves, like people chewing gum loudly. She didnât know what his favorite season was. She didnât know if he wanted to kiss her as badly as she wanted to kiss him. She didnât know if he had brown eyes. She didnât know any of it and it was breaking her heart.
Tears leaked out of her tightly shut eyes as she kept letting her powers enter his body.Â
âPlease donât die.â
âI didnât plan it.â
Her eyes flew open and Spider-Man was starting to wake up, shifting under her.Â
Before anything else could be said she was throwing her arms around him, body crashing into his. He was surprised but wrapped his arms around her, welcoming the embrace.
âI thought you were dead.â She sniffed before pulling away, letting him sit up halfway.Â
He stared at her and she wet her lips, looking down his chest that was most healed, nothing but pink skin left. âAre you okay? I can heal you some more.â
âYouâre beautiful.â He breathed.Â
Peter felt like he was seeing the sun for the first time. Even though she had tears down her cheeks and red rimmed eyes, she was more beautiful than he could have imagined. He had an idea of what the rest of her face looked like but the way her nose came to a sharp point was something he didnât know about but thought was adorable. Her thin arched brows and red tinted cheeks were new to him and he loved every part of them. There was a small deep dented scar on her left cheekbone that made him wonder.
Looking at her like she was Aphrodite herself, she may as well have been with how beautiful she was, he smiled softly because he finally knew what she looked like.
Her hands flew up to her wet face, fingers feeling that the black cat eye style mask she wore was gone before remembering she had taken it off just minutes ago.Â
âWell I guess I'll have to get a face transplant now.â She deadpanned in a breath, trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach that he thought she was beautiful. âCanât have Spider-Man knowing my identity.â
He reached up to the back of his head and pulled off his mask without hesitation. He wanted her to know what he looked like. He was ready for her to know Peter Parker. No one in the world, his world anyway, knew that he was Spider-Man and hadnât since Gwen died. He was ready for that to change.
All she could think was how beautiful he was. Those deep, warm brown eyes looking at her captivated her and she had to blink to break free of their hold and take in his fluffy brown hair that looked like a purposely disheveled mess and the way his nose was rounded perfectly. But she kept going back to his eyes. They were so warm just like him. He was like a warm spring day with the sun shining down and the breeze hitting your skin and making you feel alive; thatâs what his eyes reminded her of.Â
God he was so handsome but in such a gentle way and everything she hadnât expected but had dreamed off.Â
Lunaâs hand reached up, cupping his jaw and feeling the stubble under her palm. His hand reached up to cover hers before bringing it down to put on his chest. His other hand reached up to cup her cheek as he sat up fully and closer, their noses brushing together, just like the night before. Then he kissed her.Â
Luna had been kissed before, sheâd had a couple one night stands over the years, but she had never been kissed like that. It was with the same gentleness as he spoke to her with but the passion she had never felt from him before. They were a mismatch of lips before he gave a suck on her bottom lip before he pulled away.
âPeter Parker.â He breathed. âMy name is Peter Parker.â
Luna felt like she couldnât breathe; Peter Parker. It fit him so well.
Her lips lifted. âLuna Carter.â
Of course her name coincided with her alias and of course it was something so beautiful.Â
âAre you sure youâre okay?â Luna asked again, looking back down to his chest to make sure he didnât have a scratch left.
Peter couldnât tear his eyes away from her beauty. âIâm perfect.
âI should go back and clean up the mess I left.â She realized before jumping up and finding her mask that was on the ground by the couch. âJust stay here, I'll be right back.â
Peter was on his feet, ignoring how weak he felt, and grabbing her bloodied wrist as she made her way to the window. âWhat mess? Just give me a second and Iâll come with you.â
Stressing her bottom lip, she exhaled shakily, looking up at him. âI may haveâŠgone to extreme lengths to get you out of there so I could heal you. Please just stay here, Sp-Peter. Youâre not showing it but I know you feel drained right now. It's normal when I heal someone with an injury as bad as yours. Iâll be okay.â
Peter felt winded by hearing his name come out of her mouth and past her kiss bruised lips. His eyes searched hers and he worried that if he went he would only be a burden. He knew he didnât feel right and he might put her in danger by going. She was strong and knew what she was doing. He had to trust her. He did trust her.
âOkay.â He conceded. âJustâŠâ He cradled her face in his hands and dipped his head to kiss her deeply, drawing it out as their jaws moved together, Lunaâs hands finding their way to thread into his locks.
Luna was the one to break the kiss, panting hard and resting her forehead against his, Peterâs chest rising and falling just as fast as hers. âYou have one hour to wrap it up or Iâm coming after you.â
âTypically thatâs the most effective way to make sure sheâs satisfied.â Luna deadpanned and Peter let out a breathy laugh before giving her another kiss, this time quick and chaste. He watched her jump out the window and take off in a blur before closing the curtain right behind her only to lean against the wall in exhaustion but with a beaming smile on his face.Â
He took in her apartment and realized this was Luna he was meeting. There were parts of herself all over the place that he didnât know a thing about. For starters, the place was covered in plants. There were some on shelves, some hanging from the ceiling, and some on the walls. The green velvet couch that was definitely thrifted was a few feet from him and a small glass coffee table in front of that with a few books and a mug that had what looked like a half drank cup of tea.Â
Wandering further, he made his way through the very small apartment, taking in the small things like the ivy that looked like it had been in its place so long that it had taken over the wall it was against. Her kitchen had a bar cart with various liquors and wines and an entire station on the counter dedicated to coffee. There was a coat rack by the front door, also definitely thrifted, with a long black wool coat and a couple of purses hanging off of it. Below that was a pair of black Chelsea boots and a pair of worn out converse.
In the wall space between the front door and the bedroom was a bookshelf that looked like it had seen better days. It looked like Luna herself was trying to keep it alive with nails shoved into the planks at odd angles to keep the shelves in their place.Â
As he looked through her books, he was surprised to see so many romance novels of all kinds. From classics like Pride and Prejudice to those very raunchy ones with shirtless men on the covers.
The bedroom door was open and he didnât think Luna would mind very much if he just took a peek inside.Â
Her bed was in the center of the room with a plush viridian comforter and black pillows against the gold metal frame of the bed. More plants filled her room but he took note instantly of the record player on a side table with a shelving of records beside it.Â
He found artists from Coldplay to Taylor Swift to Bring Me the Horizon. There were at least two hundred different vinyl albums on the shelves.Â
He looked down at the record player and lifted the lid to see what was underneath but he couldnât tell so he turned it on. Have You Ever Seen the Rain started playing mid song and he stood there, taking in the fact that what she played last on vinyl was his favorite song.Â
âItâll rain a sunny day I know; shininâ down like water.â John Fogerty sang.
He let the song play out as he looked around, smiling at the small things about her that he was learning. She had fuzzy black slippers by her vanity that was full of makeup and hair products. A hydroflask sat on it with various stickers on it. One was from a women's gym and there was one for the band Muse and another was for BLM and another that was of the Vine about the roommates.
Taped to the outer mirror of her vanity was an opened card and Peter read the message.Â
âLuna, your service is always such a delight and Jerry and I always look forward to coming to Vetroâs to see you! You always give such a lovely smile and are always so kind to Jerry. We hope this makes things easier on you during the holidays. Love, Yolanda and Jerry.â
Peter smiled softly before pulling his phone out to google Vetroâs. It was a restaurant in Brooklyn which horrified him at first to think that Luna was working in an entirely different borough of New York until he realized it was on the border of Brooklyn and Queens and probably took her no more than half an hour to get home with the subway.
The song ended and Peter closed up the record player before making his way out to the living room and sitting on the couch, finally starting to feel his strength come back to him.Â
It was two minutes before the hour mark and Peter was getting ready to put his mask on and head out, worry for hisâŠwhatever she was now, filling him.Â
But Luna walked in through the front door, dressed in black ripped jeans and a vintage black t-shirt with a brown wig on.Â
âEverything okay?â Peter asked, striding up to her, eyes scanning to find any injuries.Â
âNo- fine.â She rolled her eyes. âNeighbor was down in the alleyway looking for something he tossed in the trash by mistake so I had to improvise.â She pulled off the brown wig, hands clean of Peterâs blood, and then took her hair out of the bun, it falling down past her shoulders and to her ribs.
âAnd the crime scene?â
Her eyes met his. âWell, I donât think Iâm going to face charges for the damages I caused but the police chief was very clear that I canât do that again.â
âWhat did you do?â
She inhaled, pressing her lips together for a second. âThat entire block we were on looks like a bomb went off. I didnâtâŠwhen you were lying there dying, PeterâŠI justâŠâ Her mouth remained open like she didnât know what to say or how to explain it.
He pulled her into his chest, arms going around her and finally feeling at ease now that he had her in his arms. âHey, I know. You donât have to explain it to me.â He reassured her, dropping a kiss down on the top of her head. âYou never have to explain it to me, Luna.â
âHow do you feel?â
âLike I could run to Brooklyn and back.â
The silence was comforting and Luna was the one to pull away but her hands found his and she took them both and her eyes met his. âWe should talk.â
âProbably.â
âYeah it would be best.â
They stared at each other for a second until Luna couldnât stand it anymore and pushed up onto her toes to kiss him, arms going around his neck. Peterâs hands found their way to her hips to grip tightly, nearly groaning at the way it felt to have his hands on them finally. They had teased him far too many times.Â
Peter stumbled back, leading them to the couch and falling back onto it, Luna on top of him as they made out like two teenagers. Luna bit down on his bottom lip lightly and it wound send him into a fog for a second because of how erotic it was. If this was how it felt to be kissing her he couldnât imagine what it would be like to do anything beyond that.
Luna pulled away with a gasp, chest heaving and eyes half open but Peter didnât stop, only moved his lips down to her neck. The sucks he gave had her letting out soft moans, her hands weaving their way into his hair causing Peter to whine softly. The sound sent a wave of heat through her body.
âPeter.â Luna moaned, eyes falling shut and grinding down onto him where she could feel how hard he was under her. It made her head swim with pleasure and her body beg for more at the same time.
Breaking from her neck and panting, he looked to the goddess on top of him. âSay it again.âÂ
Knowing exactly what he was asking, she bit her lip, breathing still heavy. âMake me say it.â
Cocky was a term some would associate Spider-Man with but not so much Peter but he was very cocky when his hands slid up Lunaâs shirt to yank it off as he sat up with her still in his lap. His mouth kissing down her bare chest and his hands pressing into her bare back sent a wave of goosebumps across her skin and he couldnât help the small grin that came across his face.Â
He couldnât help but having spent a few nights wondering what Lunaâs breasts had looked like under her form fitting suit. Would they fit in his hands or spill out? Were her nipples a soft pink or a darker brown?Â
He found his answer was soft pink when he gave a suck to a pebbled nipple, feeling like he was living in one of his wet dreams. He was sure he had this exact dream too; sucking on her tits with her in his lap and his hands on her back clutching her close to him. He wanted so much more and feeling her press down onto his aching cock was making him crazy.
âPeter, fuck.â Luna moaned, her hand dropping from his hair to the back of his neck while her other gripped his bicep. âPeter.â
Peter sucked and kissed hickeys all over her neck and chest, feeling like was in heaven with her moaning his name and his mouth on her breasts. Maybe he had actually died and gone to heaven when he was shot. If this was it he didnât mind. He was more than happy to drown in the angel in his arms.Â
âOkay.â She cleared her throat, panting softly. âWe should stop.â
Looking up at her with glistening lips, he worried he had gone too far too fast. âDid I do something wrong?â She hadnât said anything and he feared he had missed a signal or a body language.
Her eyes softened, the corner of her lips lifting just a tad. âNo. I donât really want to stop butâŠIâm so tired and Iâm not going to lie I was starting to fall asleep for a second because it felt so good and youâre so warm. You have no idea how much I want this. Iâve been thinking about it for so long.â
Reaching up to brush his thumb across her bottom lip, he took in her tired eyes and remembered that she had almost quite literally brought him back from the near dead and then had finished everything where the shootout had taken place. Of course she was tired.
Giving a gentle kiss to the middle of her throat, eyeing the splotches of red and purple that littered her neck and chest, he pulled away.Â
âYou should get some sleep.â
Luna found her shirt behind her and slipped it back on before getting off of Peter, hands running through her hair. She watched Peter pick up his mask and start to put it back on but she was quick to grab his wrist to stop him.Â
âAre you leaving?â
âDid you want me to stay?â
âI watched you almost die tonight. IâŠreally want you to stay.â
âThen Iâll stay.â
She eyed his bloodied suit. âI think I have something you can wear.â
Luna, ever the thrifter Peter was learning, had a shirt that was three sizes too big on her but fit well on Peter along with some sweats that were only a little tight on him. Both items were black and he wondered if she owned anything other than black clothing. Heâd never seen her in any other color; even her suit was black.
âMy fucking god, Peter.â Luna laughed as she stared at her chest in the mirror in the bathroom.Â
He smirked from the bedroom, stepping into the black sweatpants. âYou said make me and I take that very seriously.â
âI look like I was attacked.â She shook her head with a smile before sliding her shirt back on and switching the light off.Â
Peter was sitting on the bed, waiting for her and she stopped walking, eyes lit up at seeing him there waiting for her. She looked at him and it really hit her that she knew the man behind the mask now. The man she had been daydreaming at work about and fantasizing about when she read anything by Nora Roberts. He was waiting for her and they were going to go to sleep together. It was a daydream come true.
âYou okay?â
âYeah.â She breathed.Â
Luna got in bed and Peter followed, unsure of how wanted to do this. If she just wanted him to sleep beside her he was okay with that. He wanted to make sure she was okay after such a long day and after such a big step was taken.
He didnât get the chance to ask what she wanted because she was curling right into his chest, arms tucked up and hands pressing against his chest. He noticed that she liked having her hands on his chest and made a mental note to ask about it later. For now, he draped an arm across her and pulled the blanket over them.Â
âPeter?â
âHmm?â
âIâm really happy right now.â
He dropped a kiss down on her forehead. âDitto.â
