Prompt: New music recommendations
If there was one thing anyone with half a brain knew not to do, it was interrupt MJ. It just wasn't done. So naturally, Peter's phone decides to blare Ooga Chaka after MJ hit the buzzer to answer a question during their decathlon practice.
Peter winced and immediately apologized to her. MJ was giving him a look. That look would have made even the most dangerous villains get second thoughts about crossing her.
Even though it wasn't strictly necessary, Peter answered the call on speaker. If the conversation amused her enough, MJ might be less likely to kill him.
"Hey Peter!" the cheerful voice of Peter Quill came through the phone. Peter (Parker) couldn't stop the snort of amusement that escaped him.
"How are you doing Peter?" Parker asked in return. This had the benefit of making MJ roll her eyes at him, which he counted as a victory. His little nerdy routine with the other Peter amused her. He could tell.
"I'm great Peter. What about yourself?"
"I'm doing quite well myself Peter."
"That's wonderful to hear Peter."
"I could say the same thing about you Peter," Parker said back. There was silence between them for a few seconds before the two Peter's burst out laughing. Even a few members of the decathlon team were laughing, and Peter could see MJ trying to hide a smile. Success!
"Man I needed that laugh," Quill said once he could breathe again.
"Agreed. So what's up? You don't normally call unless it's important," Peter said. He heard Quill make a sheepish noise from his side of the call.
"Ah. Well this isn't like super important or anything, but my crew is threatening mutiny unless I get some new music, so I was hoping you had some recommendations?"
"Seriously?" Peter asked in disbelief. That was what Quill almost got him killed for? He really wished this was a video call so Quill could see how unimpressed Peter was right now. 'Can you believe this man?' he mouthed to MJ. She huffed out a quiet laugh.
"Please Peter," Quill begged. "Rocket threatened to take apart my ship if I don't get something new to listen to and Gamora agreed to help him! Groot is the only one who isn't actively against me right now." Peter sighed in response.
"I'll send something over either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much I can work on it before Tony demands my attention," Peter said. He heard Quill cheering and shook his head. Wasn't he supposed to be the older Peter?
"Thanks kid! I definitely owe you one when I get back to Earth," Quill told him.
"No problem," Peter replied. As long as Quill never interrupted MJ again, it wouldn't be at least.
The call ended shortly after that. And if the rest of practice was spent discussing all of the best songs in the past decade? Well, nobody was going to say anything thanks to a look from MJ.
When progress is slow in the chapter I'm currently working on, it seems my default is this fic. I fear for when I run out of chapters, although it'll still be awhile before that happens. I wanted to work on the next chapter too, but I ran out of paper so I had to wait on that. It forced me to work on the chapter I'm currently working on at least. It's slow going but it is moving and that's all that matters.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Please Review, Follow, and Favorite! I'll see you on the next update!
