Fic of How does peter parker react to a bf with arachnophobia? (let's say he JUST found out because it never came up before)
he wouldn’t notice right away, too dopey in his own little world to see how nervous you got around his webs.
You would think with how much he stares at you he would notice how you flinch and freeze up, or maybe even run away, but no, he hasn’t seemed to notice.
he finally notices one day, his eyes following your form as you move into your small kitchen, you suddenly freeze, eyes locked onto something along the wall facing away from Peter.
He’s fast as he gets up, racing over to you just as a scream starts to curdle from your mouth, he reaches for you, shushing you as he frantically searches for whatever thing has you so frightened.
his eyes finally land on a medium sized spider, some kind of house one, maybe even a daddy long legs, and suddenly his mouth turns up as he moves to face you.
“A spider angel? Really? You do realize you’re basically dating a spider, right?”
you can hear the grin in his voice, even as you refuse to turn away from the spider that is now crawling it’s way up to the ceiling.
He lets out a small huff of a laugh under his breath, carefully reaching for a paper towel from its holder next to the sink, before reaching up and ever so carefully scooping it up onto the towel, his eyes never leaving the small bug as he walks his way to the small open window, before placing it neatly down onto the fire escape and shutting, and latching the window.
He makes his way back to you, his arms reaching out to pull you into a comforting hug, his warmth seeping into your bones and bringing you back down from your panic.
You’ll sniffle out a small ‘thank you’ or even call him mean for teasing, before he leads you back to the comfort of the couch, his hand never leaving you as he wraps you up nicely and tight, and cuddles up along your side <3
