Hey I don’t know if you still receive requests about the USM, but I don’t know if you could do a Sam Alexander x Reader in which Sam gets jealous of the reader passing a lot of time with Peter Parker
"Me? Jealous? Never!"
Sam Alexander x gn!reader
Main Masterlist
You and Sam have always been close. You grew up sparring, gaming, eating too many tacos, and roasting each other like siblings. But deeper down? There’s always been something almost.
All the nights you had a sleepover and you fell asleep on his chest, and he admired you quietly. All the times he let you stay with his dessert because you looked sad. All the nights he took you flying to watch the stars, the almost kiss one of those nights almost ended with.
He really tought he had a chance.
Then Peter Parker starts needing help on missions. He pulls you into his world a bit more, you start hanging out, laughing at his dorky science jokes, teaming up with him more often.
Sam notices.
Now he usually sees you and Peter across the hall, his arm around your shoulders and you laughing probably at something stupid he said.
At first, he’s in denial. Like, he still was your best friend. You wouldn't exchange him for Peter, right?
Then he gets competitive, worse than he already was. He starts volunteering for every mission you’re on. Tries to one-up Peter constantly - flies faster, blasts harder, makes dumb jokes louder.
It’s so messy it goes out of control.
Then in one mission you get in serious trouble, cornered and injuried. Sam sees and goes to help, but when Webhead takes his way to help too he starts a race to get to you first - and that's when he hits a building.
You'd have been taken if Peter hadn't saved you. He takes you to safety, checking on your wounds. Sam witnesses that moment between you two: a sincere hug, something small but intimate.
Sam doesn’t say a word the whole flight back. Just stares at the stars through his helmet, trying to pretend he doesn’t feel like the floor’s gone out from under him.
Later that day, you find Sam pacing on a rooftop.
After the mission he had flown away before the jet landed back at SHIELD, eyes too shiny, voice clipped on comms. Now you’re here, heart thudding, watching him try to act like everything's fine.
“You okay?”
He shrugs, still facing the skyline. “Yeah. Just needed air. And, you know… to maybe scream into the void.”
You offer a small smile. “Can I scream too, or is this a solo scream situation?”
He huffs a dry laugh, but it dies quickly.
“You and Peter. You’ve been spending a lot of time together.”
Your heart trips.
“Sam-”
“It’s cool,” he cuts in, hands jammed in his jacket. “It’s fine. He’s smart, he’s got the whole… responsible dork thing going.
"Wait, are you jealous?"
"What? Me? Jealous? Never!" he sounds offended, but you know he's just being dramatic. You raise an eyebrow at him, crossing your arms. "Okay, maybe I'm jealous. I just..." he rubs the beack of his neck. "I just wish I knew sooner. So I could’ve stopped hoping.”
“Sam-”
“I thought I had time,” he blurts. “I thought you’d always just be there. My best friend. My person. And now it feels like I blinked and you’re not mine anymore.”
You step closer, close enough that he can’t look away now.
“You idiot.”
He blinks.
“Wait, what-”
“Peter is my friend. He’s sweet, yeah, and he listens when I vent and he makes dumb jokes about atoms. But I don’t feel that way about him.”
Sam’s staring. Processing.
“I’ve always felt it for you, Sam,” you say softly. “Always. I just… didn’t think you saw me that way.”
His lips part like he’s about to speak, but nothing comes out. Instead, he stares at you like he’s seeing you for the first time, and also like he always saw you.
“You’re serious?” You reach for his hand, lacing your fingers through his, warm and real. "I thought I lost you."
He exhales like the whole world just fell back into place. And then, without asking, without overthinking it, he kisses you. Quick, a little breathless, but all Sam.
When you pull back, he grins.
“Okay, but if Peter ever flirts with you, I’m blasting him into next week.”
“You do that and you’ll be making friendship bracelets in supervillain jail.”
"Worth it."
