Okay so this is based off of the amazing fan art that The girl with no life sent me. You guys should totally go check it out, I put it up on my fanart page on my tumblr. Hope you all enjoy!
Being a freelance photographer I took all kinds of pictures for the paper, most of them ended up being of Spiderman but occasionally I was brought along with a reporter for specific pictures JJ wanted.
Today was one of those times, I was just about to leave after dropping off my latest folder of Spiderman shots when I heard someone yelling at me. Or about me, more like.
"Just take Parker, he's not totally useless. I want some good shots, this is the first interview she's agreed to do in almost a year and she picked us. I want details, something nobody else has! Now get the hell out of my office!"
A very worn down looking Anderson, lead reporter for the celebrity news section at The Bugle, walked out of JJ's office with a sigh. Scanning the room, he smiled when he locked eyes with me.
"Parker, you're with me. Come on."
His tone left no room for argument so I followed him to the elevator.
Once the doors had closed he turned to me with an appraising look.
"I've seen your work, you're pretty good kid. Too bad Jameson hates Spiderman so much, the shots you get of him are almost unbelievable. Could make for a great story of New York's underdog hero."
I grinned. He would never believe me if I told him how I got them, so I guess they were a bit unbelievable. And he didn't seem to blindly bend to JJ's opinion that I was, erm Spiderman was a menace to society.
"Thanks. I like to believe that someday he'll come around and see that Spiderman isn't all that bad. So what am I supposed to get pictures of? I could hear him yelling about an interview with someone but that's about it."
Anderson snorted.
"Kid, I think the entire building could hear him. But yeah, apparently he somehow landed a one on one with probably the most private celebrity in New York."
I raised my brows, wow that's pretty big.
"Who is it?"
He smirked as the elevator doors dinged and we stepped out into the lobby.
"Anna Stark. She's a recluse compared to her brother, so the fact that she agreed to do an interview is almost unheard of. Every paper in the city has been asking since she got back from helping in Sokovia with the relief effort and that was four months ago."
Everyone in the city knew who she was, New York's darling as the celebrity fluff pieces liked to call her. There was always some kind of story about her in the magazines and tabloids, her volunteer efforts, the latest party she'd been spotted at, and of course speculation on who she was or wasn't dating.
I can't imagine growing up in the spotlight like she did, it would have drove me crazy.
I looked up as Anderson whistled sharply, hailing a cab.
"Look alive Parker, time to go."
Shaking my head, I jumped in the cab with him as he told the cabby to take us to Avengers Tower and step on it.
"So it's a big deal then?"
He rolled his eyes and smiled.
"In the grand scheme of things? No. But in the world of celebrity obsessed who are dying to get even a sound bite from this girl, yeah it is. You ever done something like this before?"
I grabbed the door as the cab took a very sharp turn and the cabby started yelling at the car who just cut us off.
"No, but how hard can it be? Just a few shots and we're done right?"
He laughed.
"Cute, you obviously never had to deal with bratty socialites and stuck-up divas. Lucky for you she's supposed to be the exact opposite of her brother. But yeah shouldn't be that difficult, a few shots of her smiling or something and we're golden."
Didn't sound too hard, should be a piece of cake.
I smiled at him as the cab screeched to a halt in front of the large imposing building that was Avengers Tower.
"Sounds easy enough, let's do this!"
Grinning at me, Anderson slapped me on the back.
"Your optimism is nauseating Parker, but it might just get you places."
I just followed him inside as he made a beeline for the receptionist at the large desk in the lobby. She didn't even look up at us but pointed to the elevator on the other side of the room.
Muttering under his breath about rude women, we got on the elevator.
"You must be from the paper; Miss Anna is expecting you. I will direct you to the meeting room."
I jumped at the sudden voice coming from nowhere.
Anderson just chuckled.
"Stark's AI, practically runs the place. It's weird at first but you get used to it. Freaked me out when I came here to interview Pepper Potts a few years ago."
Okay, that actually really awesome. Nodding I started fiddling with my camera, making sure I'd be ready, while Anderson went over his notes and list of questions.
The elevator slowed to a stop and the disembodied British voice broke the silence.
"Miss Anna wishes me to inform you she's running a bit behind and will be meeting with you on her floor instead of the conference room. If you'll wait just one moment."
We stepped out and the first thing I noticed was the huge wall of glass that led out to a balcony loaded with plants. Before either of us could say anything, a hurried female voice could be heard.
"JARVIS are they here yet? Tell them I'm sorry, got caught up with Tony and I completely forgot."
A short redheaded blur whipped around the corner.
"Miss Anna, I implore you loo-"
Before I could move out of the way she slammed into me, knocking both of us to the ground.
The AI sighed exasperatedly, was that even possible?
"Look out…A useless endeavor I suppose. The men from the paper are here, as you can see. I'll leave you to it, let me know if the boy you just trampled is in need of medical assistance."
I could hear Anderson laughing and started to get up but a weight on top of me kept me from doing so.
Blinking I looked up at her and met golden brown eyes that seemed to sparkle.
Oh wow…
She was sprawled on top of me with a dazed expression, her hands spread out on my chest as she slowly realized what had happened. Very quickly she scrambled off of me, as a horrified look spread across her face.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!"
Taking the hand Anderson offered I stood up and checked to make sure my camera was okay. Seeing that it was I looked back at her and nodded, hiding a smile at how worried she looked. It was kinda cute, she was really cute actually.
"Yeah, I'm fine. No worries."
She frowned and took a step closer.
"Are you sure? I can't believe I did that, really I am so sorry."
As I was about to tell her one more time that I was fine, Anderson cleared his throat catching her attention.
"Trey Anderson, The Daily Bugle. Now that you and my photographer have been acquainted, how about we get started?"
He eyes widened and a slight flush appeared on her cheeks.
"Oh right, of course. You don't mind if we go out on the balcony do you? It's such a nice day after all."
She motioned to the large glass wall that had first caught my eye and started towards it, the sliding door opening as she did. Anderson and I followed her outside and he sat down on the nice outdoor couch, while I strayed closer to the edge of the large balcony so I wouldn't bother him. And that way I could get some pictures without interrupting them.
"Once again I'm really sor-"
Cutting her off from apologizing once again, Anderson started his recorder.
"So why now? Why agree to an interview now when the press has been begging for one for months?"
Somewhat taken aback at his abruptness she raised her brows in surprise.
"Well, I…I'm not as outgoing as my brother but I'm not a hermit. I've been incredibly busy since I got back from Sokovia helping organize benefits and put together the rebuild relief and then time just kind of got away from me. Tony kept telling me I'd have to talk to the press sooner or later, I guess it just ended up being later."
Anderson nodded.
"Understandable Miss Stark, now I'd like t-"
She smirked and stopped him.
"Call me Anna."
He grinned.
Okay then, Anna, tell me about your time in Sokovia."
Her eyes lit up and without any more prompting she started talking about the people of Sokovia, waving her arms and motioning with her hands. I snapped several pictures of the animated look on her face, half of them ended up blurry due to her moving around so much but the other half weren't bad.
As they talking about Sokovia and her other volunteer and charity work, I kinda zoned out and just looked at her.
She was a lot shorter than both of us, had to be just over 5 feet tall. Her wild red hair was down, a strip of gold peeking out from behind her ear as she constantly pushed it back out of her face. Very minimal makeup, the dusting of freckles on her nose and cheeks and full pink lips not needing it.
I smiled looking at how she was dressed, jeans and a plain green shirt. So much for stuck-up diva, she seemed so down to earth.
She was a knockout.
I kinda wished I'd at least been able to introduce myself but Anderson was quick to get down to business.
It was only later after all the bases had been covered, that I tuned back in when Anderson brought up something that made me perk up.
"So, because the entire city wants to know, are you currently dating anyone?
I don't know why I was so interested in her answer, but I looked up to see what she'd say.
She rolled her eyes.
"Why is that always what people want to know? Who are you wearing? Are you dating anyone? It's ridiculous!"
Anderson grinned.
"What can I say? The people want what the people want. So any juicy details you wanna divulge?"
She shrugged and I snapped a picture right as she smiled.
"Sorry to tell you, I'm single. And kinda boring, so there really isn't much to tell. I stay in and binge watch Netflix and eat pizza just like everybody else."
He looked at her skeptically.
"Okay but what about the guy you've been spotted with in Hell's Kitchen? Some tabloid got a fuzzy picture of you two arm in arm coming out of a diner. What about that?"
She frowned for a second and then laughed.
"That? Oh that was my friend Matt, we meet for lunch every once in a while. I met him when I was visiting a friend of mine from med school a couple years ago."
"I dunno Anna, you two looked pretty cosy."
Narrowing her eyes, she looked over his shoulder at me and smirked.
"Did I forget to mention? Matt is blind. I was helping him get back to his office, he's one of the founding partners in a law firm just a few blocks from the diner we were at."
I held back a laugh as she seemed to be enjoying the uncomfortable look on his face. She grinned at me and I snapped another picture as she winked at me.
Anderson looked a bit embarrassed at his blunder and quickly moved on.
"So no boyfriend, got it. The boys of New York will be happy to know you're still on the market."
She just groaned and shook her head.
He clicked off his recorder and stood up with a smile.
"I think that's about it. If you'll just let Parker here, get a few more pictures of you then we'll be out of your hair."
She snapped around to look at me, recognition in her eyes as she stood up.
"No problem! This wasn't nearly as bad as Tony always makes it out to be."
He laughed and shook her hand.
"Okay off the record, I gotta know. Why did you pick the Bugle out of all the papers asking to interview you?"
She looked down as a slight flush came over her face.
"You really wanna know?"
He nodded, curiosity in his eyes.
"Yeah, not that I'm complaining but the Times and the Sun were just as eager to have this interview. Why us?"
She bit her lip and glanced at the city below us with a small smile.
"Well, the Bugle always has the best pictures of Spiderman and I kinda have a little crush on him so…"
Wait, what?
I froze as her gaze turned to me, a huge smile on her face.
She had a crush on me?!
Well Spiderman, but still!
Ignoring the amused smile Anderson was sporting she walked over to me.
"You're the one who takes them all? Peter Parker right? I see your name in the Bugle all the time. I'm a big fan, the shots are amazing, and the angles you get are incredible!"
I found myself at a loss for words, she really didn't have much of a sense of personal space because she was about a foot from me and anything I would have said flew out the window with her big honey brown eyes staring up at me like that.
She really was pretty, I wonder if…nah no way I stood a chance with a girl like her.
Finally finding something to say I stuttered out an answer.
"I…uh, y-yeah that's me."
She leaned ever closer, excitement on her face.
"Have you met him? Like talked to him?"
I couldn't concentrate because she was way too close to me to think straight.
Before I could try and answer her, Anderson cut in.
"Wait, you live with superheroes why the fixation on the web slinger?"
She tilted her head in thought as she moved away from me.
"Well I guess when you live with someone they don't seem as fantastic when you see them every day, not to say my family isn't awesome. But really, once you see Thor with bedhead you can't un-see it."
Chuckling at the thought, Anderson spoke up again.
"So you like Spiderman because he's mysterious and different?"
She shook her head and furrowed her brow.
"No it's not that. Of course that is cool but I like how he sticks up for the little guy, the Avengers save the world one catastrophe at a time but Spiderman is out there stopping crime every day. I just admire that and think he shouldn't get as much crap from the media as he does.
She grinned again, looking smug.
"And you can quote me on that."
I just looked at her in shock, did she really just say that?
I finally found my voice as we all walked inside, Anderson already heading for the elevator while Anna waited for me.
Smiling at her I messed with the strap on my camera.
"Not many people would say that about Spiderman, I'm sure he'd appreciate knowing you felt that way."
She blushed and looked away.
"I bet not, I'm just one girl out of an entire city."
I felt the corner of my lips turn up in a grin.
"Nah, I think you're wrong, everyone likes knowing they're appreciated."
She looked up at me and smiled.
"Maybe you're right. Gosh knows Tony likes it, he adores the high he gets from being Iron Man."
I laughed and ignored Anderson's look when she put her hand on my arm.
"Yeah, what's that like? Having Iron Man for a brother I mean."
She rolled her eyes and sighed.
"It's never boring that's for sure. I've been kidnapped a few times, that's always fun. Um, let's see, Tony likes to go flying and scare the crap out of me by bringing me with him. Oh and we both make it a game to try and steal Cap's shield when he's not looking. Always something with him, usually something loud and explosive but it keeps things interesting."
Surprised at the info dump, I picked up on one thing that didn't seem to fit her vibrant personality.
"You're scared of heights?"
She playfully shoved my arm and laughed.
"No, I just don't like flying with Tony. It's too loud and he likes freak me out by almost crashing into stuff. I'd love it if it weren't for that, heck I went wing suiting in Rio for my birthday last year. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie."
Anna Stark was just full of surprises.
Getting an idea, I innocently looked down at her.
"So swinging around like Spiderman would be more your style?"
Her eyes sparkled and she grinned.
"Absolutely! He makes it look so easy and smooth, gliding around like that, swinging around the city would be a dream come true! Much better than how my brother buzzes around in a tin can."
My eyes widened in surprise and I bit back a laugh.
She gasped and looked up at the ceiling.
"JARVIS don't you dare tell Tony I said that! He'd flip out!"
That same British voice with a very amused tone answered her.
"If he asks, my programing prevents me from hiding it from him. But until then your secret is safe with me Miss Anna."
She sighed and shook her head.
"Well let's just hope he doesn't ask. Wouldn't do for him to find out he's not my favorite hero right?"
It was nice to have someone say I was their favorite. Especially someone as cute and funny as Anna.
I grinned and rubbed the back of my neck.
"Yeah, can't have Iron Man being jealous of Spiderman."
Her eyes seemed to glint with mischief and she put a finger to her lips.
"Our little secret then, I'll trust you not to rat me out to Tony."
Just as I opened my mouth to reply both of us jumped at the barking voice of Anderson.
"Parker! Time to go, we've taken up enough of the lady's time. JJ's gonna want this as soon as possible."
I looked over at him and felt a flush on my face as he nodded at Anna and smirked at me.
Oh great, I'm sure I'd be hearing it from him on the way back.
Turning back to Anna, I saw her smile fall as she looked down.
"Oh, right. I'm sure you both have more important things to be doing. I'll let you guys get going."
I frowned at Anderson, of course he would ruin the moment.
Looking back at Anna, I sighed.
"I guess he's right, we should go."
I really didn't want to go, here was a beautiful girl that was actually giving me the time of day and I had to leave. And unless she agreed to do another interview with the Bugle then we most likely wouldn't cross paths again.
Life just wasn't fair.
The elevator dinged cheerily and I wanted to glare at it for getting here so fast. Anderson stepped inside and as I moved to follow him I stopped short as Anna's hand shot out and grabbed my arm.
"Peter wait! I mean, uh…I was wondering if maybe you'd want to hang out again? I'd love to see your pictures sometime and um…oh I could show you around the tower! The view from the penthouse is amazing! I mean if you wanted, like we could just go for coffee or something too."
It was like she was trying to convince me when I totally didn't need convincing to want to hang out with her. I felt a stupid smile cross my face as she continued to argue her case.
It was adorable.
Then as if just realizing her hand was still on my arm, her eyes widened and she trailed off with a flush on her face.
I smiled, trying my best to not be an awkward dork as I answered her.
"Yeah! Uh I mean sure, we could totally hang out sometime."
And there was the awkwardness, way to be cool Parker.
She beamed at me and all but shoved her phone in my hand that she had whipped out of her back pocket.
"Really?! Awesome, just give me your number and we can go from there."
Almost dropping it as I handed her my phone, I typed in my number saving it with a camera emoji next to my name. That wasn't lame was it? Oh well, too late to take it back now I'd already handed her phone back to her.
Before I could check and see what she'd saved her number as, Anderson grabbed the back of my collar yanking me into the elevator.
"Thanks for your time Anna."
I glared at Anderson and looked back at Anna as the doors started to close.
"See you around Peter, bye Trey."
I waved at her, smiling as she laughed. Then the doors were closed and I could feel Anderson staring at me, so I looked at him just waiting for it.
He only grinned and slapped my back.
"When you 'totally hang out' be sure to tell me how it goes okay?"
I just rolled my eyes and shoved his hand off as I started looking for her number in my contacts.
I grinned as I saw her name, this was turning out to be a really great day.
Stepping outside to water my plants, I looked out at the skyline of New York City and sighed.
"JARVIS?"
"Yes Miss Anna?"
Letting my little rose bush have a drink I frowned.
"On a scale of one to Tony when he's drunk how stupid did I sound today?"
"I'm assuming you mean when Mister Parker was here correct?"
I could feel the amusement in JARVIS's tone and I rolled my eyes. Leave it to my brother to create a sassy AI.
"Yeah that's what I meant."
Walking to where I'd put my night lilies, I stood next to the rail of the balcony as I poured water over the soil.
"You came off more endearing than anything, nothing to worry about I'm sure. If I may ask, why are you so bothered about this?"
I set the watering can down.
"I don't know, something about Peter…he was different. He seemed real, not faking it because of what my last name is or who my brother is. I guess I just really liked him that's all."
"Well, if his flushed face elevated heart rate was anything to go by I think he likes you too."
Smiling at the thought, I felt a blush come over my face as I leaned on the rail looking out over the city.
"And oh my god he was so cute, like what a babe! That whole sexy nerd thing really works for him."
I heard JARVIS sigh.
"This sounds like a conversation Miss Potts would be better suited for, shall I get her instead?"
Laughing I shook my head.
"No, just let me ramble."
"Very well Miss."
Sighing dreamily at the thought of the adorable photographer, I wondered if I should wait for him to text me first.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
Not looking up I bit my lip and smiled.
"Oh I was just thinking about a very cute photographer and hoping he'd call me."
Wait a second…there wasn't anyone out here but me and that wasn't JARVIS.
Looking up I scrambled backwards at the sight before me.
Spiderman was lazily sitting on the side of the building, looking at me.
I'm sure I looked ridiculous, standing there with my mouth hanging open just staring at him.
"I um…you're Spiderman!"
He chuckled and hopped of the glass window and onto the balcony with me.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. But I was swinging by and heard you talking to yourself and wanted to check it out."
I could feel my face turning bright red.
"I wasn't talking to myself! H-how long were you there?"
He shrugged and I got the sense he was smirking at me.
"Not long. I didn't know nerds could be sexy though, guess you learn something new every day."
Oh god this is so embarrassing! But I wouldn't let him get the best of me, hero crush or not I wasn't just gonna stand here like a star struck dork.
Channeling Tony I beat down the blush on my face and grinned at him.
"I guess I have a type, what can I say?"
He took a few steps closer, as if testing to see if I would back away. I didn't move, watching him as he moved closer.
"Everyone does, like I've always had a thing for redheads."
My eyes widened.
Was he flirting with me? No, he couldn't be I had to be reading into things.
Shaking off the idea that Spiderman could be flirting with me I smiled.
"Okay so I met your personal photographer today, and I have to say he really knows how to catch your good side."
While I couldn't see his face, I got the distinct feeling he was grinning.
"Did you now? He wouldn't be the aforementioned photographer now would he? Cause if he then he's one lucky guy."
Looking out at the city so he wouldn't see the blush that was threatening to take over, I ran a hand through my windblown hair.
"Well I don't know about that, but I think there's something there."
Watching him in my peripheral vision, I tensed as he got a little closer.
"What makes you say that?"
He sounded curious, like he genuinely wanted to know so I answered him.
"I don't know really, I'm probably over thinking things and I literally just met him today but I feel like we were supposed to meet each other."
Shaking my head, I looked back at Spiderman and smiled.
"You're pretty nosy for a superhero you know that?"
He laughed.
"Don't you know us hero types live on gossip?"
Snorting, I grinned.
"Makes sense, my brother is the worst. Always wanting to know everyone's business and be a part of it."
Surly he knew who I was, I mean it's not like my face wasn't all over the tabloids with stories about Iron Man's little sister. It was highly unlikely Spiderman didn't know who I was.
Pausing, I smiled thinking of how caring my brother really was.
"Not in a bad way though, Tony just wants to help most of the time, make sure everyone is okay. He's actually a lot softer than his Iron Man persona would lead you to believe."
There was a beat of silence before he responded.
"Yeah, the few times we've crossed paths he did come off as a bit of a busybody to be honest but I'll take your word for it."
I snorted, Tony definitely had some busybody qualities to be sure. Before I could say anything, he spoke up.
"So how some come you aren't out there flying around in a suit of your own? You strike me as the type of girl to want to be out there with him."
I turned to look at him and wished I could see his face
"Well Tony would never in a million years give me the tools to go out and do crazy dangerous stuff like he and the team do. But you're right, I would be out there with him if I could. So I do what I can, the Sokovia relief organization has been my main focus lately."
I grinned at him, remembering my conversation with Peter earlier today.
"And it's not like I never get to fly around, Tony takes me with him sometimes. Not that I particularly enjoy it, what with his suit not being the most comfortable ride, but the flying thing is pretty cool."
I started as he hopped up on the balcony rail, somehow balancing perfectly as he stretched his hand out to me.
"Well I can't fly per say but I bet I can show you a view of the city you've never seen before. Whadaya say, wanna see New York like I do?"
I looked at his offered hand in shock.
Here was Spiderman, my hero crush offering to take me swinging around the city. Was this not exactly what I'd been talking to Peter about earlier?
This was crazy!
But there was no way I was gonna turn him down, so I slowly took his hand with a raised brow.
"Bring it on web head."
Laughing he pulled me up on the rail with him making me cling to him so I didn't fall. Not that I thought he would let me fall, but oh god this was high!
He raised the hand not securely wrapped around me and shot a web at the next building over as I put my arms around him.
"Hold on."
Just as I was about to give him a sassy retort he jumped off the rail and we were freefalling.
Squealing in excitement, I gasped as the web went taunt and we swung upwards.
It was so exhilarating! The wind whipping through my hair and the city blurring around us was absolutely amazing.
Effortlessly he switched arms, now holding me with the other and had shot another web yanking us in a different direction.
"Okay check this out."
Before I could ask him what he meant, he'd swung over to where we were parallel to one of the glass buildings a block over from the tower.
"You ready?"
I furrowed my brow even though he wasn't looking at me as I felt his arm tighten around me.
"For what?"
He just laughed and suddenly we were running on the side of the building. I looked down at out reflections in the mirrored windows and couldn't believe this was really happening.
Letting out a whoop of pure glee, I stretched my hand out feeling the wind rush through my fingers. This definitely beat anything I'd ever done before, what a rush!
And then before I could catch my breath we were back in the air, gliding through the city.
I got the idea he was showing off a bit and I didn't mind one bit because this was beyond amazing.
It was only later when he landed us on top of one the taller buildings in the city, that I realized we had circled back around and were pretty close to the tower, I could see my balcony from here.
Looking out at the city I couldn't help but be blown away at the view, it was just starting to get dusky out and the sunset was fantastic.
"So what'd you think? Cool right?"
Spinning around to look at Spiderman who was a yard or so away from me, I threw my hands up in the air motioning to the view around us.
"Are you kidding me?! This is way beyond cool! I can't believe you get to do this whenever you want, like I'm so jealous!"
He snickered and rubbed the back of his neck, something about it reminded me of someone but I couldn't place who.
"It's not a bad gig that's for sure, bad press aside I wouldn't trade it."
I wrinkled my nose and tucked my hair behind my ear.
"I don't get that, like all you do is help people, the fact that you get such crap from the press is unbelievable! All of them are idiots, don't listen to word they say. I think you're amazing."
Realizing I just said that out loud, I felt a blush starting to appear on my face and I once again wished I could see his face. If only to see what his expression was.
"Haters gonna hate right? But really, thanks. I know not everyone believes what they say about me but it's nice to hear. And it never hurts when a pretty girl says they think you're amazing."
I blinked owlishly, was he flirting with me again? Deciding not to think about that I focused on something else.
Grinning at him, I raised a brow.
"Did you just quote Taylor Swift?"
He held up a hand and I could imagine him to be smiling under that mask of his.
"Hey don't be hating on my girl T Swift!"
I giggled and shook my head.
"Oh never, I love her! But you didn't strike me as a Swiftie."
He snorted and tilted his head.
"I'm a surprising guy, and I have to shake off most of what's said about me so… Besides, I'll have you know that under the mask I'm rocking some hella good hair myself."
I doubled over laughing, while he crossed his arms, rolling his eyes most likely.
"Oh my god, you are such a dork!"
Looking up I tried to compose myself but the thought of Spiderman swinging through the city rocking out to Shake it Off was too much and I couldn't stop laughing.
"You know I could just leave you here."
Wiping my face to get rid of the tears that had leaked out when I was laughing, I smirked at him.
"But you won't, for one my brother would probably start a city wide spider hunt for leaving his baby sister on the top of a building, and two, you like me too much to just leave me here."
Hey who says I wasn't allowed to flirt back?
He sighed and started walking towards me.
"I guess you're right, having Iron Man out for me isn't on my list of thing I really need to happen. You being really cute doesn't have a thing to do with it."
I was about to reply when he darted forward and grabbed me by the waist and jumped off the roof, completely taking me off guard.
I shrieked in surprise, latching onto him as he chuckled, swinging us over to my balcony.
As we landed he very gently let me down and perched on the rail about at eye level with me.
I glared playfully at him.
"Jerk."
He just shrugged and if I had to guess, I'm pretty sure he was grinning.
"You know you love me."
I snorted and smiled at him.
"Just call me your number one fan."
He leaned forward and was suddenly very close to my face.
"I wouldn't mind that."
I flushed at how close he was but I didn't back away.
While I still had a bit of a crush on the masked hero in front of me, thoughts of a fluffy haired brown eyed photographer lingered in the back of my mind. Maybe my thing for the web slinger was more of an infatuation because I found myself wishing it was someone else's face I was this close to.
Smiling, I tapped him on the forehead pushing him back in just the slightest.
"Hmm, well it's too bad you aren't my type. You sure know how to impress a girl though, this was amazing!"
He seemed like he was holding back a laugh.
"Right, that nerd of yours has no idea how lucky he is. Looks like I'll have to settle for number one fan."
I smiled softly.
"I don't know about that. But I'll always be the president of your fan club, guess I'll just have to get in more trouble so this isn't a one-time thing."
He shook his head.
"That won't be necessary, I think I can make an exception for you. See you around red!"
With that he stood up and back flipped off of the balcony rail and started swinging off to who knows where.
As soon as he was out of my line of sight I felt my phone start to vibrate in my back pocket, pulling it out I felt a sappy smile on my face.
It was Peter.
While I had the time of my life swinging through the city with Spiderman and would do it again in heartbeat, Peter Parker was the one I couldn't stop thinking about.
Grinning I answered my phone.
"Hey Peter, you're never gonna believe what just happened to me!"
Alright, so that was my first try at Peter/Anna as something other than a brother/sister relationship. I really liked how it turned out, they were fun to write. So maybe I'll do more of them sometime, or add on to this one who knows?
This is dedicated to The girl with no life for inspiring me to write this, hope you like it!
I hope to have an update on TTAD soon, I'm not abandoning you guys don't worry! Thanks for your amazing support and continuing to make this a fun experience for me. Ya'll are so awesome, love you all bunches! ^~^
