BEFORE READING JUST KNOW THAT THERE IS A SCENE IN HERE THAT WAS HARD TO TYPE BECAUSE I WAS FANGIRLING OVER IT SO MUCH! ALSO A LONG CHAPTER TO MAKE UP FOR TIME I HAVENT BEEN ON HERE THATS ALL, ENJOY!

CHAPTER 11: Anything For You Peter

MJ P.O.V.

Just like I predicted, things have really gotten to Peter. I can't take him blaming himself for everything that's happening because it really isn't.

He's a 17 year old senior who has to deal with something a grown man had experience in. Tony knew how to handle stuff like this, didn't he? All I know is that Peter shouldn't have so much pressure on him. This is the reason why he didn't want to tell anyone he's Spiderman.

I'm willing to stay at the tower with him. He does not need to be here by himself, not with everything that just happened.

"MJ, I would say that you don't have to do this, but since somebody attacked at your place I think it's kind of a good idea to stay here with me."

"Kind of a good idea? It sounds like a great idea to me."

"What clothes are you going to wear? Are you going to be comfortable enough to sleep anywhere here? Are you-" I cut him off by putting my finger on his lips."I can determine what I'm going to do with all of that. Just focus on the machine and what you need to do."

"MJ, I'm worried. About everything, especially you."

"I know, I'm worried about you Peter. I'm scared too. Every time you put the mask on and you leave I don't know if it's the last time I'm going to see you. That's why I was so set on helping you fight the bad guys because nobody can take on the world by themselves. Literally." He laughs and I smile.

"I trust that you'll save me if anything were to happen."

"Let's not even talk about what could happen. I'm just glad we're together right now." He massages his thumb on my hand, and that's when I know the two of us are safe.

"I don't know how May is going to feel if I stare here all night, but I'm not going to go back home and then you have to go back to your house when somebody attacked us while we were there."

"I don't know how she's going to feel either, but you can try."

"Yeah. Wherever you go I'll be right there with you." He pulls out his phone and taps on May's contact. I change my position from killing my knees to sitting criss cross apple sauce and massaging his legs as the phone starts ringing.

"Peter? Where have you been? Are you okay?" The tone in May's voice is making me start to panic and I know exactly where he is."May, May I'm fine. I'm still at the tower and I'm here with MJ and Miles. I just wanted you to know that I'm okay, and ask if it's okay for me to stay at the tower overnight to work on saving the world."

"I would say no, but I trust that nothing will happen to any of you guys. Do you need anything? I can go to the store and-"

"No May, I don't need anything. Do you want anything MJ?" Peter asks me. I shake my head and he goes back to the phone."We'll be okay. Just don't go anywhere. An attack just happened and I have no idea if more is coming so please stay in doors so I don't stop breathing."

"Okay, I'll take your word on it. Be careful whatever you do Peter."

"I will. I'll see you tomorrow May."

"Okay Peter. I love you."

"I love you too May." They hang up and he lets out a sigh."Well, she's letting us stay at least."

"I wish my cousin cared about me as much as she cares about you." I love the relationship he has with Ms. Parker. She always makes sure he has more than what he needs, and makes sure he's safe before she even rest her head at night. My cousin will go home and the first thing she does is go to sleep. Not like she can even function to do anything else.

"Do you want to start building the structure now? I know I'm not an expert on building, but hopefully you can teach me a thing or two along the way."

"If you really want to learn how to build, we have all night." The fact that we actually have a whole night together feels really different, but I'm happy about it, I hope he isn't trying to build all night though."Yes, I want to learn how. Might take me some time but I'm down to learn something new."

"Okay, let's do it." He gets up from the chair and takes me by my arms to help me off the floor. Back to square one we go.

After some time, Peter was still trying to look and see where all the parts needed to go based on Miles's drawing of the machine."You can start with the circular things at the bottom. Build it from bottom to top." Miles suggest.

"Yeah, that could work. Thanks Miles." Peter puts the two platforms down on the ground and goes back to looking at the drawing. I never thought I would even say this in my own head, but Peter looks really good when he's building.

Before he even started he changed out of his Spiderman suit into this really tight black shirt and some black pants and I couldn't stop staring at him. I still can't. I couldn't take my eyes off his chest and how strong it looked, and the way the sleeves would make the muscles on his arms poke out. I hope he doesn't catch me staring at him deeply, but I can't look away.

"Okay, so I'm going to need the really blocky pole looking things that can go on top of the platforms." He makes me come back to reality when I realized I've been leaning on the poles the entire time."MJ, you okay? Are you getting sleepy?" He laughs probably because I've been staring into space and I get up to help him get one of the poles.

They're really thick and heavier than I thought they would be so I struggle a little bit."No, I'm fine. I just spaced out." Not going to tell him why.

"Well you said you wanted to learn how to build. You can help me connect the platform and this thing together." I pick up a screw driver from the table and I help him push the big pole thing to the platforms.

"Okay, so can you hold on to it as I screw it on?" He asks me."Yeah. Just don't drill your own finger to the machine."

"Yeah, sadly I don't have the technology in my body to stop all of this crap from happening." He takes the screws and starts putting it down on the floor, then we lift the pole together. It feels a lot lighter when he starts lifting it. Peter is actually a really strong guy.

The screw driver's noise throws me off guard as I jolt when Peter turns the damn thing on. He laughs as he sees my reaction and it causes Miles to laugh too. Am I some kind of comedian or something?

"Whatever you do, don't get scared enough to where this thing can fall on one of us!" I hear Peter shouting louder than the screw driver's noise.

He finally stops using it and stares at what he's done, hoping that it doesn't actually fall on us."I have to keep putting more nails in to make sure it doesn't tip over." Peter reaches past me to get more nails. I'm tempted to walk out of the room because the screw driver is really bothering me but I'm staying here for him so I have to push through it.

He puts more on the platform and screws them in as fast as he can. It's perfectly standing up as it should. Peter really is good at building.

"Okay, so is this the only thing you're doing?" Miles asks."Nope. I'm going to screw this on the other platform, and put this thing on the top that you drew here. At least get the basics done first before I have to figure out the tech and how all of that is going to work. I just want to get you back home to your family. Or, your real family. You know what I mean." Him and Miles laugh.

"Maybe I can help you visit your girlfriend more without anyone dying." Peter keeps smiling and Miles starts to look all nervous."MJ, a Spiderwoman actually exist in another universe and she's one of his friends, or more than a friend."

"Anytime I talk to a girl my feelings are complicated." Miles says."That's okay, I'm the same way, except with guys." I can see Peter staring at me and I hope he didn't take it the wrong way.

"I said to Peter that she could help us with all of this, but I don't think it's a good time since tonight we just established another potential enemy."

"Right now might be the perfect time Miles. Three spider people fighting to save all of our universes that could possibly combine, that sounds like a perfect team up." Peter says to him, and it's actually not a bad idea.

"Does she live in New York too?" I ask him."Yeah. Maybe I can call her tomorrow and I can tell her about the situation."

"That would be cool. Who knows, a double date could fit in while we're busy fighting crime. Or triple if Ned and Betty can just admit they still want to be together." Let's face it, both of us can tell that they do.

"Uhhh, I don't know how she'll feel about that. Through everything that's happened, she can still be a little closed off."

"I was like that once. I still kinda am too, but it's fine." I sound very excited about another girl coming into the loop. More friends that are girls is nice, and it already sounds like we have a lot in common.

"Okay. I can call her, but don't be surprised if I tell you she looks at me funny."

"What's her name?" I ask her."Uhh Gwen. Gwen Stacy." Miles's phone starts ringing."Oh no, it's my dad. He's probably wondering why I'm not in my room at school." Miles just keeps staring at it, and I can tell he has no intention on answering it.

"Miles, you don't want to take the call? He's probably worried sick about you." Peter says."I'll call him at a better time. Right now we're focused on this machine so I can go home and he can stop worrying." By the look on Peter's face, he looks worried for him.

The Peter who was beating himself up a few minutes ago is back and I don't like the look of it one bit because it only means one thing. Another person he's concerned for.

"Don't be Peter. I can handle everything back at home."

After that, the only thing you can hear is Peter screwing the other pole on to the other platform. That's how I can tell he's not buying it.

It bothers me that he's acting like he's responsible for everybody in the world. I understand superheroes are concerned about the world, and they care about people's well being but they don't have to feel like they have to fix everybody's problems, right?

I'm still trying to understand what it means to do what Peter does, but if it makes him feel like the weight is resting on his shoulders and his confidence is going to drop, maybe he should take some time off. As his girlfriend, maybe I should be the one to tell him that.

He finishes getting the other pole on, but then he has to figure out how to do the top part. Right now it looks like two heavy poles going inward like an incomplete circle and two circular platforms on the bottom. As of this moment, this thing can't get anybody home but it's only in process.

"Okay, so this is what's going to complete the structure of the machine." Peter says as he's placing another part we found, trying to reach his arms to the top because the machine is pretty tall.

"You can just screw this on the top and it'll stay I think. I don't know anything about this building stuff, I just know how to draw on paper." Same here Miles because I don't understand any of the building stuff. As the two of them take over, I go to the table and I finally pick up my sketchbook and start drawing.

My fingers finally feel like they're doing what they're suppose to be doing. Not holding poles and touching nails, but drawing people in crisis. I have to capture the moment that Peter was sitting on the chair with his head down and running his fingers through his hair.

I can remember it perfectly because even though I was there for him emotionally, his muscles were popping out of his Spiderman suit as I was talking to him. Of course, I'm going to start with his head and his hair though.

The corner of my eyes can see Peter and Miles getting chairs so that they can screw the top part on to the machine. I keep working on my drawing, already done with sketching Peter's head and his really flowy and curly hair. His hair usually gets really curly after he takes his mask off.

I start working on his body sitting in the chair. It looks really messy with all the pencil marks that are spreading across the page but that's the thing about being an artist. You clean it up when you're finished drawing the whole thing. I hear that the screw driver has finally stopped and I'm relieved because now I can really focus on my drawing.

"What are you drawing?'" Peter asks as he leans over me. I can feel his chin resting on my head."You when you were kneeling over in the chair." I keep drawing as I'm thinking that his chest is touching the top back of my head. What is going on with me?

"It looks amazing MJ. All of your drawings look amazing." I can feel my cheeks getting hot. Anyone who admires my drawings that's what usually happens, but with Peter it's really different."I didn't mention this before, but you two are really cute together." Miles says to us with a smile."Thanks." I say awkwardly. After that, I completely forgot what I was doing.

"Thanks Miles,"

"Are you ready to take a break and go to bed?" I ask him."Building yes, but figuring out what I'm going to do tomorrow, no."

"Peter, you went through a lot today. Are you sure you want to keep working on this? It's getting late, again." Typically seniors in high school stay up to watch videos that end with for 2 minutes and 23 seconds straight until their eyeballs start to burn, but Peter and I stay up to build portal machines and me trying to win an argument so that he can get some sleep for once.

"MJ, I promise I wont stay up that late. I'll go to bed at 12:30am, no later than that."

"That already sounds like a run to the coffee shop so you can stay awake in 1st period." I can hardly pay attention in that class. I just read until he calls on my name."Okay. 11:30?"

"Better than the other times you were thinking in your head." He laughs."Miles, are you getting ready to go to bed?" I ask him.

"I'll take a shower and do all of that, but I'm gonna call my dad and tell him I'm good. Certainly not gonna tell him how I got into another universe though. Goodnight Peter and MJ." He says as he walks out of the room.

"Goodnight Miles." I say before he's too far away."You're going to do the same thing that he's doing." I tell him as I close my sketchbook and wrap my arms around Peter once again."Okay okay. I wont build anything else for the rest of the night."

I kiss him on his forehead and start walking out of the room. I look back at him, being able to tell that he's tempted to keep building."Peter, are you going to explode if you put a pin in this for just a couple of hours?"

"Maybe. Probably." Peter says as he's looking at the start of the machine."For now, can you show me where all the rooms are?" He smiles at me."Yeah, I can show you around." The two of us start walking through the Tower together.

"Here's one of the guest rooms. A lot of Avengers have left and done their own thing so there's a lot of rooms that are open. This use to be Thor's area."

"Wowwww. The one we learned about in physics class?'

"Yep, that's this one."

I place my backpack on the floor and I start looking through it. Thank God I put clothes in my bag like Peter does with his suits.

"You do have clothes to wear."

"Your habits are putting an influence on me Peter. Not all of them though."

"The shower is at the end of the hall. I'm gonna sleep in the room right next to yours. I'll stop by before I go to bed. Unless you go in there first."

"Okay. Don't try to make this a trap to make me too tired to where you can sneak and keep building."

"You can outsmart a sneaky spider MJ, I'm not even going to attempt it." I smile and he walks out of the room. I take my clothes and go down to the end of the hall.

I know he's going to try and sneak. I know Peter Parker.

After I get out of the shower and I manage to make my hair at least damp so that I don't create a water trail, I go straight into Peter's room. He's on his laptop, sitting up on the bed with his pjs on. Looks like there's more than one shower here.

I plop myself on to the bed and I purposely put my chin down to the laptop screen to distract him. He starts laughing, closes the laptop, and puts it off to the side."How was the shower?"

"The fanciest thing I've ever seen. Did Tony ever have to go to the pool if he wanted to swim?"

"I don't even think he had the time. Maybe he didn't have to." He's staring right into my eyes again. Why is he so good at eye contact?"Your hair looks pretty." He says as he touches the ends.

"It's still so wet though. I hope I'm not getting your whole bed wet."

"It's fine MJ, I really don't care. I just think you and your hair looks really pretty." I smile at him and I can't help myself to not look at his face as he's still touching it.

"Can we continue what was happening at your place?" He starts to whisper. I go to the light and I turn it off, the room being completely dark. Luckily I can still see him to get in the position I want to be in.

I go over to him and I go on his right side. He starts laying down and he puts the cover over us. I lay my head on his chest and he puts his arm around me and places his hand on my back. I could fall asleep in his room because after this I don't think I'll want to get back up.

"So from 0-10, rate how crazy this day has been." He says to me.

"This day broke the scale. When I woke up this morning I didn't expect to throw part of a trash can at somebody today." The two of us laugh."I didn't expect that either. Thank you for helping me with everything MJ."

"You don't have to keep thanking me. Out of all the things to expect, always know that I'm going to help you, no matter how many enemies come into our universe."

"Do you think more monsters are going to come? That black Venom thing is the only thing I think I can take. I need the rest of them to be humans from here on out."

"Or ones that don't have really sharp hands like the Prowler did. He could always gauge somebody's eyes out in a matter of seconds. I'm glad he didn't do that to you though."

"Yeah. If he did I wouldn't be able to look at you and that would've been the saddest part." I smile to myself and I stretch my arm out to where my arm is laying on Peter's stomach. We never did anything like this in the summer. Laying in the same bed with the room being really dark and being under the covers together. All the stories I've read and there's a part where something like this happens, you know what's coming next.

"Peter, should I even be in the same bed as you right now?" I ask. Thinking about it too much is making me nervous that somebody is going to come in on us, like Ned did when we were in Europe.

"It's fine. We're a couple, this is what couples do. We haven't even talked about it. It kinda just happens, and I'm not complaining about it."

"Are you feeling like everything else in the world is scaring you and the one time you can actually be with someone you really care about all of that stops? Like it's the only thing you can focus on?" I take my head off his chest and I rest my head on the other pillow. Both of us are staring into each other's eyes and I already know the answer to my question.

He leans in to kiss my lips. His lips are always so soft and nice. This time, I don't think anymore enemies are going to come and attack us so I'm thrilled to know that we can do this as long as we possibly can. I really don't care about the amount of sleep I get.

He puts his body closer to mine, which makes the kiss intensify by a billion. Our mouths keep moving, still not trying to eat each other though. Just the calm way of doing it.

He breaks it off and smiles at me."MJ, the amount of sleep we get tonight is entirely up to you."

To let him know how many hours of sleep we're going to get, I go back to kissing him.

Coffee shop it is.
