“ woah MJ, i knew you were good but you... sped through those questions like they were nothing. “ Peter was smart, he didn’t want to seem conceited but he knew he was, he knew michelle was too even though she wasn’t so outgoing he just knew and obviously because she became the captain of the decathlon team when liz left.. he was amazed by MJ’s skills. 

             ❝ yeah, definitely exhausting. ❞

she can't help but laugh, shaking her head -- partly in exasperation, and partly because the situation she's in is just hilarious. the theater industry is hell - bent on breaking her, but mj's not going to give up -- not like that.

         still ... there are days when mj          just wants to give up. it would          be so much easier if she could.  

thankfully, she's got michelle to talk to. 

              ❝ a real rough business. only the                  strongest make it to broadway. ❞

more like the lucky ones -- apparently, talent doesn't even matter anymore. 

        one week. 6 days and 18 hours. one excruciating week since gwen’s funeral, and 10 entire days since her death. since he last cradled her in his arms, desperately searching for signs of like in a very limp and PALE body. 10 days since he last heard her sweet voice, saw her wide gaze starring at him in HORROR as she fell to her death. 10 days since he last slept, 11 days since he had a full meal. and here he is, back at work like nothing at all happened. 

        well, not EXACTLY like nothing happened. he hasn’t actually talked to anybody since he walked through the doors with his camera. he went to the board and found out his assignment for the day, ignoring all the sympathetic stares and the nudges his colleagues were sharing. poor peter parker, spider-man got his girlfriend killed. what is he doing here? i heard they weren’t actually together when she died? whispers that his enhanced hearing can easily pick up, but he’s strategically IGNORING them. adjusting the strap on his shoulder, he heads for the desk of the girl he’s been assigned to. MICHELLE. michelle, who he’s pretty sure he’s gone to school with for quite some time. he’s only ever talked to her in passing. even working together, he’s managed to avoid ever being assigned to her stories. not on PURPOSE, but things just worked out that way. now however, being paired with her seems like it might be comforting. she knew gwen, hopefully she won’t be stupid enough to play twenty questions with him. plus, she’s quiet. that works for him.

        he’d received as message from his boss that morning, saying that he didn’t need to worry about coming in. he could come back to work whenever he felt ready. apparently, talk around the office had finally reached him. but peter needs the MONEY. gwen’s death doesn’t mean his life stops, and without ben he and may are constantly struggling to pay the bills. this job has saved their home and kept them from STARVING on more than one occasion. plus, peter enjoys taking pictures. he knows what he’s doing when he’s behind the camera. it’s a sort of escape from reality, and it’s more than WELCOME at his time of his life. 

      he’s rambling  .   there’s a monster inside of mj who sorta wants to admit that peter rambling like some idiot is kinda  —  you know  ,  adorable  —  but that would be gross  .  and it probably isn’t really adorable in the first place  .  she must be like  -  hormonal or something  .  she’s sure she’s pms-ing right now  .  yeah  . that must be it  .  peter parker isn’t cute at all , nope .    ❝    cool .    ❞     she manages slowly  ,  some might even say very impressively   —  because as it turns out , being the kind of girl who speaks so little is defined as “cool” now , or something . like being mysterious and a damn wallflower is all that exciting . it really isn’t ; most of the times, mj just feels lonely . but not like anybody cares .     ❝     we’re skyping her . she’d , uh  —  she’d be happy , i think , if you’re there . even if you’ve ditched her like a moron at homecoming .     ❞

      Peter just smiled but probably looked super unsure, confused and awkward all at the same time ( if that’s even possible ), it’s usually how he looks whenever he talks to MJ... her just saying cool slightly confused him even more just because he was thinking of a more snarky comment from her. “ cool. “ 

can she adopt mj is the question

she is literally a Goddess????
