BUT THRICE.

a/n: reposting this cause my posts keep turning into quotes :P

Pairing: PeterxMJ

Word Count: 1165

Summary: The flight back to NYC from London at the end of Far From Home, so SPOILERS which means I’ll be hiding this one under the cut.

WARNINGS: none, it’s just fluff and adorableness

peter: wait i'm not *blushes* not a virgin anymore

ned: it was mj wasn't it

michelle: *winks*

Spideychelle + trans Peter (don’t get me even start with your transphobic shit, this is an hc ok? I know he’s not canonically trans. You don’t have to read it if you don’t like it) pt. 1

SO:

Peter is such a soft boy. Like, the kind of good soft boy your parents would like to have for dinner. So pure and precious. (At least apparently)

Michelle is not soft.

Really, secretly she /is/, but she doesn’t like to show it.

Not that she is a bad person or something, but years of people making fun of her made her hide her feelings and softnees

So, she just hide. Like. A lot. She doesn’t show pain, but anger. Doesn’t show that she is hurt, but sarcasm and fierceness.

At the end, it’s not fun anymore to try to make her cry or piss her off.

Now she passes unobserved and she is fine with it.

But even if she doesn’t know why, even if she can take everything they say behind her back, she can’t take Peter doing nothing when Flash bullies him.

Like, she’s so. Damn. Pissed.

But she let it go too because not of her business, and Peter needs to learn to defends himself and she couldn’t care less like it’s Peter damn Parker right who cares right?

(Spoiler: she does)

However, Flash teases are usually just him throwing tiny paper balls at him, giving him the i-am-gonna-destroy-you-parker face and just being an asshole around him

Expect that sometimes he calls him penis Parker and a part of Michelle is really screaming PUNCH HIM out loud in her mind.

But she doesn’t, because, come on Parker, just do something already!!!

But Peter just takes his shit silently

Which makes her even more angry

However don’t you dare bullshitting me she feels bad for him when during the penis Parker “joke” she can see his face, because he always seems on the verge of tears

Ofc she does know that Peter is trans. Not that he ever came out or something, he always presented himself as Peter and it seems that nobody at school question that.

But she knows that Flash knows Peter since they were like 5, and he’s the only one being an asshole about that and even if most of the kids find the “penis Parker” jokes just a stupid thing because the sounds of the words are similar, Peter seems to be a bit too sensitive about it.

And it doesn’t take long to her to understand. I mean, she’s clever /and/ very observant (especially when it comes to Peter parker)

So after she joins the decathlon team and she starts sharing moments with him is easy to connect the dots and find out.

But she never mentions it because she couldn’t care less like ok so what he’s still the soft cute boy he has always been (DID SHE JUST CALL HIM CUTE?! SHIT)

She’s a bit sensitive to the subject: she is an activist, she is a feminist, and she is a black queer woman. Of course she is touchy about it.

And like, trans community has to take so much shit from the people outside the LGBT+ community and the community itself, it’s so damn unfair.

Like, they are people, actually human beings, suffering and being discriminated every damn day.

No wonder she doesn’t like Flash

Also we are talking about Peter and this makes her even angrier

Not that she likes him, let’s be clear (spoiler: she does)

Until one day Flash crosses the line. He’s been Peter schoolmate for years and so he knows his deadname

And he uses it. And Michelle know it is his deadname because actually Peter gets so pale and he stops himself right where he is in the middle of the hallway and he looks totally like he’s gonna have a panic attack.

And he’s crying. Actually /crying/. Well it’s just a single tear but fuck he’s CRYING

And Flash is laughing.

And she can’t take it anymore.

She gets up and just thrown her shoes to him, before pushing him back with a loud “You are disgusting!” Coming out from her lips.

He just looks at her like “what the shit Jones?!”

“Shut up, idiot!” and she is like touching Peter’s shoulder so gently “are you ok Parker?”

And Flash is just… An idiot.

“there she is, Michelle Jones herself, coming to rescue her girlfriend”

And she just punches him. Like… Litteraly crushing her fist against his face.

And it’s damn satisfying if she has to be honest.

“I said, SHUT UP, you and your stupid gross ass”

And then she just takes Peter by his hand, running before finnally pushing him into an empty classrooms

So Peter looks at her and he looks shocked and kinda horrified and… in admiration?

“you…you just…punched him” “yes. I did”

And they just stay there for like a minute and it seems like he’s trying so hard to not makes a fool of himself in front of her

And that just breaks her heart so she is like “let go Parker. It’s fine. I’m not gonna tease you if you cry. Boys can cry, you know”

and he just collapses. He crumbles in front of her, crying, big tears coming down his cheeks and sobbing

First thought “shit I fucked up. What am I suppose to do now shit” second thought “…what the hell?!” Because he’s hugging her in such a desperate way and she just….

Goes soft. And hugs him back.

After five minutes of it’s fine Parker come on it’s ok now sch you’re fine and rubbing his back gently he stops and steps back

“sorry. Thanks Michelle. I’m so so-” “cut it off. It’s ok. It’s not your fault if he’s an idiot, Peter”

AND OMG she just called him PETER and not PARKER

“anyway. Thanks. For… Everything”

And she smiles and his heart goes like /crazy/ in his chest

But then she crosses her arms and she looks at him raising an eyebrow “why do you let him tease you. Damnit Peter, just say to him to shut the fuck up!”

“I… Don’t want any trouble” “well, duh, it’s not really working”

And he just looks so mortified and his fingers are tormenting the hem of his shirt and he’s looking at his shoes

“Peter. Look at me. Why? You don’t deserve to be treated like that!”

And he’s sobbing quietly again

“because… He knows. He knows…a thing…and… I’m afraid he’ll tell everyone and I don’t…want to”

And MJ is like “what does he know? Have you killed someone, Parker?”

She’s a bit sarcastic but that makes him chuckle a little and he’s so. Damn. Cute. Damnit.

And finnally he takes a deep breath and he looks at her and just “I’m… I’m trans”

Like what the shiiiit Peter he didn’t meant to tell her just like that, he and his stupid mouth and brain and emotions and

She raise an eyebrow again “I know”

WHAT THE SHIT MJ???? is he so obvious? Doesn’t he look like a boy? Shit shit shit. He’s panicking now.

“how do you…” “I’m very observant”

And then she touch his hand gently “Peter, don’t worry. It’s not obvious or something. I’m just…” And she stops because what can she says? I am good at observing you? Very interested in your life? Creepy. But he’s breathing again so it’s fine anyway. Better don’t mess up.

“I’m queer, by the way. Like… Not straight” she just says that, like ok he’s been honest with her so why not at least they can be queer together can’t they?

And she needed something to say lol

He just looks at her “thanks for telling me”

She smiles. Actually smiles. A tiny smile. But it /is/ a smile and daaaaaaaamn she looks so cute.

But better not tell her I mean she is being kind with him and he doesn’t want her to go away and anyway it’s not like he likes like MJ lol nope totally not

“Pride is next week. Want to join?” She asks him, opening to the door

And damn she could totally be more soft with him if this means seeing that light in his eyes

“Yeah, sure” “cool. See you later”

And then just like that they start to be really friends, not the we are friend but we are not they’ve always been, and maybe, maybe this can be the beginning of something.

(Spoiler: it is)
