the jackpot

Peter rolls up his sleeves, showing her the band around his wrist and fiddling with it before pulling out a little cartridge. “This is the web fluid! It’s kind of amazing how much this little bit can produce, huh?” He puts it back in and shoots it at the wall, grinning. “I’ll clean that later- follow me-!” He quickly turns and goes to his room, rummaging through the closet before tugging out the Spider-Suit, smiling proudly up at her. “Yup! I made it- it’s made of spandex!” He hums, flushing a bit. “It does get tight sometimes, if I’m honest. But it keeps it easier for me to move around and harder for people to grab me.”

“That’s pretty cool that you make them” MJ commented giving a kind smile, he really was the smartest person she knew. She didn’t have the brains to do anything science related that Peter did. “I’ll be at yours for 5 then? Gives me a chance to get home and put my stuff away” She stated, giving a small shrug of her shoulders.

Peter perks up when she says its cool that he makes his own things, chewing on his lip for a second to suppress a small giggle, glancing away for a moment before being brought back to reality as she spoke, humming to himself. “Yeah- yeah, five is perfect!” He chirps, nodding quickly, looking as if he was about to start bouncing off of the walls.

“Great, I’ll see you then” MJ commented giving Peter a kind smile patting his shoulder “I have to get to class, five pm, I won’t be late” She never was late actually, that was a good trait MJ had always kept. The day went slower than she would have liked, the final bell rang and she headed back home to drop her books off. Her apartment wasn’t far from the school so it didn’t take her long but travelling to Peter’s took about twenty minutes. She knocked on the door, looking to her watch, exactly 5pm, timed it perfectly.

Peter nods quickly, smiling brightly to her before quickly getting to class, writing things down, often getting distracted, but he always had everything he needed. No, he didn’t cheat. But usually if he needed, he’d go back to get notes from the teacher so he could write them down again. Ah, the perks of not being too shy to ask questions. As soon as the bell rang though, Peter was out the doors, and straight home, quickly putting his things away and doing a quick clean up until Mary-Jane got there, stumbling to his door and grinning up to her when he answered it. “Come in-” He hums, grabbing her hand and practically tugging her inside.

MJ was taken slightly off guard as he practically tugged her inside, that she certainly wasn't expecting. "peter-!" She stated with a laugh quickly shutting the door behind her with the heel of her foot. She had never been inside his flat before, she had stood outside various of times but today was the first time she had gone inside. "So, I want to see these web shooter things" MJ stated excitedly, she had an interest in science that was well interesting, not the stuff they learned in class, that was so boring it could send her to sleep, and had done perhaps more than once. Definitely more than she'd care to admit. "And what about the suit? Did you make that too? What's it made out of?"

“That’s pretty cool that you make them” MJ commented giving a kind smile, he really was the smartest person she knew. She didn’t have the brains to do anything science related that Peter did. “I’ll be at yours for 5 then?

“well” she began, “he took me up to one of the skyscrapers that was just for a date to watch the sun go down over New York, there was a blanket with food and candles, naturally I didn’t think anything of it, even the prosecco” She explained “then he got out a box, which of course was the ring and asked me to marry him as the sun set” Mary-Jane explained, smiling to herself at the memory.

"Yeah.. It was really sweet" She responded giving May a small smile. "What? Really?" She asked, laughing though MJ was sure she would still say yes if Peter had done the same or very similar, but she knew now that he had planned the proposal for a long time "I'm surprised he didn't tell you how he was going to do it, to have your approval"

MJ thought for a moment, deciding to tie her own auburn hair out of her face. “when I wake up I get dizzy, the nausea is usually in the morning and honestly the alcohol..really doesn’t sound appealing” she admitted, giving a small shrug of her shoulders. “I just thought the nausea and dizziness were related”

MJ looked to May with a raised eyebrow, "I.. Haven't.. Do you think I should get one?" She asked May, perhaps that would be a good idea just to at least check it off the list, though May had a feeling she could very well be right. "I will get one tomorrow morning, before Peter gets home" She didn't want to let him know and then to be disappointed if she wasn't.

“yeah..maybe” she commented, giving a small smile toward May. She took the crackers nibbling on the rather plain biscuit, “I felt nauseous this morning” she admitted, giving a slight huff. “Maybe it’s the lack of sleep” She didn’t get much, “Peter is constantly away at night and it makes me worried, I don’t sleep until he’s back in the apartment”

MJ thought for a moment, she gave a shake of her head "no more than usual" She admitted giving a small shrug of her shoulders. Though she could guess how that would make her nauseous, she blamed her constant fatigue over the past week on not sleeping. She leaned back into the sofa after finishing the crackers which had helped slightly.
