~Peter and Michelle~

Ned sat on Peters bed doing his homework while Peter was cross-legged on the ceiling. His hair was falling towards the grown and his shirt was riding up to his chest, but still Peter sat. After Peter had gotten his abilities he found that he always thought best on the ceiling. No other reason behind it or any logical explanation, it just helped him think. Unlike Ned, peter couldn't even think of doing his homework for the night. Not only was he tired as hell, but he had way too much on his mind for him to be able to sit and actually focus on it for two seconds before losing focus.

"Hey Peter, what was that formula that we did in class today? I forgot," Ned asked with his head in his book and pen flying across the paper. Peter didn't answer, and after a few seconds Ned looked up to see what was wrong. "Dude," He said, trying to get Peter's attention, however his attempt failed, with Peter staring at a spot on the wall as if his life depended on it. "PETER!" Ned yelled. This time his call worked, getting through to Peter's ears and shocking him so much that Peter jumped and fell of the ceiling, falling to the ground but catching himself and landing on his feet at the last second. That was close. Didn't want to hit my side again. Even if it is healing man, it hurts.

"Ned? What? What is it?" Peter asked, a little flustered. Ned stared at him with an amused expression. "Oh nothing, I was just wondering why you couldn't hear me when you were literally two feet away from me. What were you thinking about?" Peter was about to answer but Ned beat him to it. "Oh, wait. I know. its about the new guy, Cory, and how he is now apart of the team and he is related to a terrorist." Peter narrowed his eyes at his best friend. "Can you blame me?"

Ned nodded. "I understand, but dude, there is nothing you can do tonight. At least not until tomorrow. I mean you are exhausted. I don't even know how you managed to stay on the ceiling!" Peter sat down beside Ned and rubbed his eyes. "It just helps me think. And I know, but I feel like I should be doing something. Who knows? Maybe they are all out planning something right now and here I am, sitting on my ass with my eyes falling out of my head." Ned closed his book and put it on the bed beside him, bringing an arm up and placing a reassuring hand on Peter's shoulder.

"It'll be fine. It can wait one night while you rest, okay?" Peter nodded and gave a weak smile, accepting the truth. "Alright." Ned smiled, "That's it. Hey listen, tomorrow you can follow Cory after school, and see if he is involved or something. See if he meets up with his uncle or goes anywhere suspicious." Peter rubbed his eyes again, feeling sleep pulling at him. "I already thought of doing that actually. Thanks, Ned. You should go because I'm about to pass out." Ned gave him a funny look, "It's only 6pm?" Peter waved a hand. "I know, but I'm tired. Like you said, I need rest."

Ned laughed and after a moment Peter joined him. "Okay, I'll go. See you at school tomorrow." Peter smiled as Ned stood up, packing his stuff into his bag and swinging it over his shoulder. "Yep, see you then." They quickly did their handshake before Ned left the room. Peter fell back on his bed, listening as Ned said goodnight to May outside before finally closing the door. After a few moments Peter heard his door open and he lifted his head to see May standing in his doorway. "Everything okay?" She asked him. Peter groaned in response, to which May laughed before walking in and sitting beside him. "You still sore from last night when you fell?" Peter groaned again with a slight nod, not being able to find the will to answer verbally. 

May sighed, one that was lined with sympathy. "Do you want me to rub that healing lotion thing you made on your back?" Oh yeah! The Spidey-Healer-Enhancer I made! I can't believe I forgot about it. "Yes please, May." He said softly, the thought giving him the erge to speak. She laughed before she got up, grabbed the bottle off his desk before sitting back down. Peter sat up and lifted his shirt up to show his right side, which he could see was a deep purple. "Man, I thought it had started to heal by now," Peter thought out loud. "Mmm. Well, hopefully this should speed it up. That's what this does right?" She asked as she screwed the top off. 

"Yeah. I had thought that if I got hurt really badly and I couldn't heal quick enough it would be handy to have something to speed the process up. Took a few tried but I eventually figured out how to make a cream that would speed up my healing," he explained before sighing with relief as she started to massage the cream into his side. Usually Peter would apply it himself if he needed it, but it was too difficult for him to reach where the bruising was. He was just glad to have his wonderful aunt there, ready to help him at a moments notice.

"I love you, May," Peter said through a yawn, begging his need to sleep to hold out a little longer. She reached up with her non-cream covered hand and ruffled his hair a way only she could do. "Love you too, kiddo. You scare the crap out of me sometimes when you get hurt this bad and stay out all night doing god knows what, but I still love you." Peter smiled and he could tell she was too.

"All done, now go to bed. You look exhausted," She said as she stood up and put the cream back on Peters desk. Peter didn't need to be told twice, crawling into bed under the covers and falling asleep within seconds as May left the room. Despite being utterly exhausted though, Peter found himself waking up a few hours later, still tired but his side didn't feel as sore anymore. Man, I love that cream. But what time is it? He looked up at his alarm clock which read 9:24pm. Peter groaned as he rolled over. Really? Only a couple hours? Urgh, guess I'll just try to go back to sleep.

Around twenty minutes had gone by and Peter was still wide awake, and eventually he just gave up, accepting that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep. At least not for a little while. Bored and looking for something to do, Peter grabbed his phone as scrolled through recent news articles to see what was happening in the world. Another twenty minutes went by and Peter was still bored out of his mind so he decided that he would just do something else entirely. He opened the messaging app on his phone and started to type a message.

'Hey, what are you doing?' Peter sent before he could second guess himself. As soon as he pressed send he thought that maybe it was a bit weird to be sending a message this late at night and didn't even know if they would answer. What am I doing? God kill me now. His phone vibrated in his hand and he opened to see a message. 'Reading. Watching Poptart trying to shove as many jellybeans into his mouth as possible. You?'

Oh my god. She responded. What do I say now? Stop it, just act cool. Act cool. 'Trying to go to sleep. Why is he shoving jelly beans into his mouth?' Peter sent back to her, slightly confused. Her response came within seconds, 'Cause I said he couldn't do it.' Peter laughed, his smile growing by the second. 'What flavour jelly beans?' Peter asked, genuinely curious. I like the red and blue ones...because my suit is red and blue... hehe, get it? Alright... 'I don't know, all of them you dork.'

Peter felt a little embarrassed but quickly texted back. 'What book are you reading?' Her message came within seconds but it wasn't what he thought it would be. 'You know, if your trying to sleep Parker, texting me isn't going to speed that process up.' Peter sighed. Yeah, I guess she's right. 'Okay, I'll leave you be. See you tomorrow.' She responded quickly. 'Bye.'

Peter put his phone down and decided that he would just try to go back to sleep. Did she not want to talk to me? Or was she just calling me out? I don't know. I never know with MJ. But that's kind of funny. Guess I'll be going to sleep with the thought of Jake shoving jellybeans into his mouth in my head. With that last thought, Peter closed his eyes and slowly faded back into sleep, unknowingly preparing himself for a eventful day the next morning.
