A/N Hey, what's up guys? I'm back with the thirteenth chapter of the Peter and MJ one-shots and drabbles series. First of all, I want to thank you guys for dropping those reviews because that's what allows me to keep going with the stories like this. In this chapter, MJ cuddles with Peter during the plane from London to Newark, New Jersey. This takes place near the end of Spider-Man Far From Home, spoilers if you guys haven't seen the movie yet.
All of the characters belong to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Chapter 13: So She Likes to Cuddle
It's been five hours since the plane took off from London. After dealing with Beck and his crew of illusionists with the help from the Avengers and ordering to have all of the drones executed, Peter sat next to MJ on the plane. Peter falls asleep while MJ watches a documentary show. Peter then unexpectedly wakes up when there's a little turbelence. He looks over at his girlfriend and she turns back to him, giving him a small smile before going back to watching the show. MJ's eyes starts to fall heavy and Peter realizes that she is about to pass out due to her head bobbing back and fourth. Peter glances over to his left and sees Brad sitting all by himself, feeling completely defeated. Peter smirks, having realized that Brad would never get himself a girlfriend. Peter turns his attention back to MJ as she tries to stay awake so she would not miss anything despite watching the documentary show twice.
"You should sleep," he whispered to her.
"Nuh uh. Nope. I can't miss this," she said as she begins to slouch in her seat.
The only problem is that they just started going out and MJ doesn't feel comfortable with the idea of sleeping on him. Sure that Peter has been falling sleep on her not too long ago after the plane took off and he was snoring and MJ finds it cute and adorable at the same time. He then thinks what would happen if she drools on him or if she says about something about him in her sleep? MJ was exhausted but she knows that her boyfriend is smart and he knows about her lying to him watching the same documentary.
"When was the last time you slept? We pulled an all nighter when we were in Prague, did you sleep at all after I left?" asked Peter as he pressed the pause button, causing MJ to glare at him. He sounded like he was being an overprotective boyfriend to MJ, but he couldn't help it. If he's being honest, he really wants to be her pillow after she was his the last two hours.
MJ's head does a small tilt before she chooses to shift her gaze back onto her show, "I'm fine." She hits play again and tries to get back into it. Peter knows this won't last. He just sits back into his chair and waits for it.
Not even a minute later and MJ's body is slouching back in seat once again, her eyes drooping once more. Peter waits till her eyes are shut and thirty seconds after that before awkwardly and quietly taking her headphones off for her, to which she doesn't react. He also notices stray hairs in front of her face, so he carefully brushes her hair back just a bit so she's more comfortable. No reaction again. Yep, she's passed out. Thank god. He sighs a little, relieved that she didn't notice because they're still at that awkward just starting things out at first phase. Sure, they're official now but ... how's he supposed to know what's ok and what isn't?
'No, no,' he thinks to himself. 'This is fine. This is fine. You didn't go too far you're just being her boyfriend. Relax and stop being awkward about everything.'
He sits back into his own seat thinking about this roller coaster ride of a trip. Things weren't perfect but- he gets cut off by MJ unconsciously shuffling in her seat looking for support, and clings onto Peter, wrapping both her arms around his right arm, and tucking her face into his neck. He smiled. 'So she likes to cuddle. Noted.' He once again brushed some of her hair back that has made its way back to the front of her face, before settling himself in and nestling his face onto her head; allowing himself to fall asleep with her until they make their landing in Newark. He wraps his jacket around them both so they won't catch a cold.
"I love you Peter Parker," MJ said in her sleep.
"I love you too MJ," said Peter.
And that would be the end of the thirteenth chapter for now. It was a short one, I know. After seeing the movie, I really thought about that this scene would go down towards the end. So you guys know what to do. Make sure you drop those reviews and let me know what you think of this chapter.
