getting a girlfriend was not something peter anticipated, not this summer and also not ever, really, he was way to busy with hero life and school to pay any thought to going on dates or something. but now that he did have one, he put in all the work, all the time

whether it be swinging you around the city to get you takeout and sit on a random rooftop with you, talk about this and that while watching the skyline or buying you flowers, he always managed to do one of these boyfriend-y things that he had heard of or that he knew you would simply find sweet. aunt may had given him some tips what to do, and he was truly beyond grateful for her advice

those acts of service weren't met by no rewards, by no means, peter always got his efforts back in different ways, and you were creative with it, too. he didn't dare question how you got into his phone and onto his tiktok, but you somehow managed to, and now you were sitting on his bed, showing him the tiktok he'd liked a few weeks ago

"ye- yeah, I did like that," peter nodded, blushing slightly because he was somehow terrible at reading emotions and your facial expression looked a little accusatory in his eyes, "what about it?"

to his relief you weren't judging him at all, after a little more context provided he even understood that you apparently found the idea fantastic and wanted to recreate the trend

"really?", peter's face lit up slightly as he realized that you were willing to sacrifice one of your - rather expensive, he'd seen the price tags whenever he went shopping with you - bras for a bracelet. a bracelet that he would never take off, that's not to forget

after a bit of struggling with detaching the strap from the fabric without having to cut it, he was patiently waiting, his arm held out and his wrist on full display, eyes watching your head bent over his arm in utter focus while you looped the strap around his wrist

"this is so cool," peter mumbled while watching you secure the bracelet, admiring it like it was made out of pure gold, "so cool"
