A/N Hey, guys. I'm back with the twenty-third chapter of the Spideychelle drabbles. First, I want to apologize for not updating because I started my final year of college yesterday and I'm trying to make time to update this story. But, anyway, moving on. In this third chapter, Peter and MJ take a walk together at the Charles Bridge in Prague and I was thinking about what would happen when Peter decided to keep the EDITH glasses instead of giving it to Mysterio. This takes place during Far From Home. So sit back, and enjoy reading the twenty-third chapter.
I don't own the characters. All of the rights belong to Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Chapter 23: Taking a Walk Together
After defeating the Fire elemental, Peter walks back to the hotel with his backpack slung over his shoulder and the EDITH glasses hanging on the collar of his suit. After returning to the hotel, Peter walks upstairs and he finds Ned wearing a robe.
"Peter! Oh, my God! We almost died!" said Ned as he and Peter hugged each other.
"It's fine. It's fine. Hey, guess what. I'm done with the mission," said Peter as he let go of the hug.
"Dude, the trip's over," said Ned.
"What?" Peter asked, shocked.
"There's monsters coming out of the ground everywhere we go. Of course our parents would want us home," Ned answered.
"Please don't put me on hold. Oh, Peter! You're not dead!" Mr. Harrington exclaimed as he hugged Peter while talking on the phone.
"Oh, my God. Yes. Good, stay here. Don't die. Put some clothes on! We're booking flights!" Mr. Harrington ordered Ned and Peter.
"Speaking for science, we're leaving because of witches. Welcome to the new dark ages," Mr. Dell said to Ned and Peter as he walked back to his room.
"What's going on, dude?" Peter asked Ned.
"We're going home in the morning," Ned answered.
"No. No, no, no. All the Elementals are gone," said Peter.
"Ned!" Betty called from her room.
"Coming sweetie!" said Ned as he walked to Betty's room.
"Hey, can you guys keep it down? I'm livestreaming," said Flash as he closed the door.
Just then, MJ opens her room's door.
"Hey," she greeted Peter.
"Hey," Peter responded.
"Where were you?" she asked.
"Um. I got lost," he answered.
"They were worried about you. Good thing you're back," said MJ.
"Yeah," said Peter.
"So much for Paris, right?" asked MJ.
"It would've been fun," Peter answered.
"Yeah," MJ agreed.
"Night," she said.
"Night," he said back to her.
MJ smiles at Peter and she closes the door.
"You look ni-" he started but MJ closed the door before he can finish saying anything.
Peter thinks for a moment but he makes a decision. He walks to MJ's room and was about to knock on the door when MJ opens the door.
"Hey," they both said at the same time.
"Uh, look, um. I'm not ready for this trip to be over yet, and I kinda wanna do something fun, that's not on the itinerary or planned. Or with Mr. Harrington...," said Peter.
"Yes," said MJ as she cuts Peter off mid-sentence.
"Yes, like, you wanna go?" he asked.
"Yes," she responded for a second time.
"Okay, awesome. I'll see you outside in ten minutes?" he stated.
"Meet me outside in five minutes," she offered.
"Five is good," said Peter.
"Okay," said MJ.
"Bye," they both said to each other.
MJ closes the door and Peter raises his fist in the air, having finally asked his crush to go out and do something with him. Peter changes from his suit to his normal clothes and goes to the main lobby to wait for MJ while he watches the news of the events that transpired at the carnival earlier.
Five minutes later, Peter hears the elevator ding and MJ walks out and he approaches her.
"Hey," they greeted each other.
"So, where do you wanna go?" he asked.
"Who cares?" she asked.
"Awesome," said Peter.
"Okay," said MJ.
"Let's go," he said as smiles appeared on their faces.
"I'm glad we're doing this," said Peter.
"Yeah, me too. Just see the city a little bit," said MJ as they both walk down the Charles Bridge.
"You know they used to execute people? On this bridge? They were like... in a basket and they would drown in the water. Sorry," said MJ.
"It's okay," said Peter.
Peter and MJ were close to holding hands, but they quickly relented.
"Uhh. Look, there was this thing that I've been wanting to talk to you about for... a while," said Peter as he and MJ stopped walking.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"It's our last night in Europe, and I had this plan that I wanted to... tell you... I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna tell you..." said Peter.
"MJ, I..." he started.
"... am Spider-Man," she said as she cuts him off in his mid-sentence.
"What?" Peter asked as he looked up, confused.
"I just figured you were gonna say that you're Spider-Man," MJ answered.
"No. I'm not Spider-Man," said Peter as he tries to deny it.
"I mean, I've been watching you for like, a while now. It's... kind of obvious," she said.
"I'm not Spider-Man. I mean, what would make you think that I was Spider-Man?" he asked.
"Peter, Washington?" she asked.
"Yeah?" he said, remembering when the team was in DC for the competition.
"The fact that you like, disappear? Out of nowhere? For no reason?" asked MJ.
"No, that was, I was sick. Remember? I had my... the tummy?" Peter answered.
"You know Suzan Yang thinks that you're a male escort?" said MJ.
"What? No, of course I'm not a male escort," said Peter.
"Well then, you're Spider-Man," she said.
"No, I'm not Spider-Man. At all," said Peter.
"Well, what about tonight? When you snuck off and fought that thing, I saw you," said MJ.
"You can't have seen me because I'm not Spider-Man. And also, on the news, it was the Night-Monkey," he said.
"The Night-Monkey?" she asked.
"Yeah. That's what it said on the news. And the news, never lies," he answered.
"Night-Monkey. Okay," said MJ as she removes her backpack.
"What are you doing?" Peter asked.
"Well, do the Night-Monkey and Spider-Man use the same webs?" asked MJ as she took the webbed drone out of her backpack.
"I mean, maybe. Maybe he's a Spider-Monkey. Who knows? Were you only watching me because you thought I was Spider-Man?" he asked as sadness begins to overwhelm him.
"Yeah. Why else would I be watching you?" she said as she starts to feel her heart breaking.
"Doesn't matter," said Peter as he tries to smile.
Peter then takes MJ's hands with his but MJ struggles to look at him and she drops the webbed drone.
"MJ, what I'm trying to say is that, I'm in love with you," he said.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"MJ, I've been in love with you since Liz left the team and when you were brought in as the new captain," he answered.
MJ puts her head down as she feels her heart breaking.
"MJ, I need you to look at me. I like you," said Peter.
MJ looks up, shocked by what Peter had just said to her.
"You... you like me?" she asked.
"Yeah. I like you because you're really nice and super funny but in a dorky way. And there's no one else that I want to be with. So, yeah. I was trying to tell you that I'm in love with you," he answered.
'He likes me. Why haven't I thought that before?' she thought to herself.
"I... I really like you too," she confessed as she smiles at the boy whom she has a crush on.
Peter pulls MJ in for a kiss and they made out for a while.
