Steve Harrington x shy!fem!reader, 2.2k words

Summary: Steve will never tolerate anyone making you feel small. So when Billy Hargrove lays a hand on you? Steve makes it clear what exactly happens to people who hurt his girl.

It happens on a Tuesday, which feels wrong.

Bad things shouldn’t happen on Tuesdays. They should happen on Mondays, when everyone’s already grumpy, or Fridays, when you can escape into the weekend.

But it’s a Tuesday, after school, in the Hawkins High parking lot, which is maybe the worst place of all.

I loveeee protective Steve!!!!

"i know, but i still worry," you answered with a short sigh. "it's a war you're attending to."

Peter Parker X Female!reader || WC: 5.7K

SUMMARY: Safe to say your love life was nonexistent. You’d tried everything, swiping through dating apps like it was your part-time job, smiling at strangers on the subway, even letting friends set you up with guys. Still, nothing. Just awkward dates, ghosted messages, and a lingering sense that love might just be a myth. But maybe, just maybe, the problem wasn’t you. Turns out, slim pickins didn’t apply when the best option was right under your nose.

WARNINGS: Established friendship, friends to lovers, idiots in love, angst, fluff, cursing, self-deprecating thoughts, set after the events of Spiderman: Homecoming, Me Before You reference, steamy kiss but no smut!

A/N: About time I wrote something about the man that this blog is named after! Figured I’d combine both with this story, based on the song below! I related a little too much to this, cause let's be so real the dating world is the worst right now! 😭 Hope y’all enjoy!! Divider by @sister-lucifer <3

For you, Valentine’s Day had to be the worst day out of the entire year. Everywhere you turned, couples were practically glued together, gripping hands like the world would end if they let go, feeding each other overpriced chocolates in the park, giggling over heart-shaped lattes like it was the most original thing ever. The city seemed to ooze affection: pink lights in every café window, pop-up flower stands on every corner.

I’M UNWELL THIS WAS SO GOOD

𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬 - 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫

The soft glow of your bedroom lights bathed the walls in a warm hue as you lay sprawled across your bed, a tablet propped up against your knees while lo-fi music hummed gently from the speakers. It was late afternoon at the Tower, and the kind of peaceful quiet that followed a day without villains or rogue.

You had your window cracked open, more out of habit than anything else. Somewhere far below, you could faintly hear the city’s buzz. But up here, it felt like your own little sanctuary—until you heard the distinct clink of the latch sliding open.

You didn’t flinch. Instead, a slow smile tugged at your lips as you glanced sideways toward the tall windows just as they cracked open fully, letting in a gust of wind and a very familiar, curly-haired boy who stumbled in with a bit more flair than necessary.

“Peter,” you drawled without looking up, “you know there’s a door, right?”

He straightened, brushing wind-tangled curls out of his face and grinning. “There's no fun in that."

You turned your attention to him, a smile pulling on your lips as you placed the tablet away. You stood up from your bed and walked over to him, placing a soft kiss on his lips that he flourished into. Peter's hands found your waist as he moved you both from left to right earning a giggle from you. Time felt like it slowed down every time you kissed Peter. He was always so soft, so loving- so unreal.

You pulled away first, wrapping stray pieces of hair around your finger and twirling it. His eyes were glued to you-full of admiration and love. He let out a sheepish laugh before he removed his hands from your waist to pull his backpack off.

"Almost forgot, I have a surprise." He mentions, crouching down so he could unzip his backpack before rummaging inside.

"A surprise?" You ask, eyebrows furrowed.

Peter looked up at you through his lashes, a small awkward smile tugging at his lips. "I, uh… brought something. It’s kinda nerdy. Okay, it’s really nerdy. But I was thinking—maybe you’d wanna do it with me?"

You let out a breathy laugh at your boyfriends remark. "Pete, I don't care how nerdy it is if it means I get to spend time with you."

He chuckled nervously before pulling out a LEGO set. It had a massive gray spaceship and a number that read '7,541 pieces', the unmistakable title in the corner: Millennium Falcon.

Your mouth fell agape. “Peter, that thing’s huge.”

He laughed, cheeks flushing. "Ned and I pooled together some money a while back to buy one, and we built it together over a couple weekends. But then this one went on sale, and I kinda… saved up again. I was gonna build it solo, but I thought it'd be more fun with you."

Your heart warmed at the thought.

He looked up at you then, eyes a little uncertain. "I know it’s dorky. I just thought—if you don’t want to, it’s totally fine—"

You leaned forward, reaching out to cradle his face with your hands. "Peter, that’s really sweet of you. I’d love to."

Relief washed over his face like a tide. He beamed, leaning forward to kiss your cheek before immediately beginning to unload bag after bag of LEGO pieces from his backpack. Within minutes, your floor was covered in numbered plastic packets, the massive instruction manual flopped open.

You settled onto the carpet, legs crossed beneath you. Peter sat opposite, already sorting out the first few bags.

"Okay, so bag one is all the base plates," he said, eyes skimming the instructions. "And fun fact—did you know the actual Millennium Falcon in the movies was twenty-five meters long? The UCS model is over thirty inches! They had to build a full-size cockpit for some of the original shots."

You let out a giggle at his comments, "Really?" you asked teasingly. You loved it when Peter would give you random fun facts and would become completely absorbed in his interests.

Peter’s eyes lit up. He nodded eagerly, clearly thrilled you showed even a dime interested. "Yeah! But I think this is the updated model,” Peter murmured, nose buried in the instruction book.

“It’s more accurate to the Force Awakens version—but it still has the classic round dish instead of the rectangular one, which is way better, honestly.”

You smiled as you sorted. “You sound like you’ve memorized the schematics.”

“I have. Pretty much.”

“Why doesn’t that surprise me?”

Peter shot you a proud look. “Did you know the Falcon’s hyperdrive is a Class 0.5? That’s faster than an Imperial Star Destroyer. Han bragged about it all the time.”

“Oh really?”

"Also," he added, glancing up, "did you know that its hyperdrive was a class 0.5? That’s one of the fastest ratings in the galaxy."

You gasped dramatically. "Scandalous."

“And the reason it looks so weird is because George Lucas originally designed it as a flying saucer, but changed it at the last minute. The final design is based on a hamburger with an olive on the side.”

You paused, mid-sort. “Wait. What?”

Peter grinned. “Yeah. The olive is the cockpit.”

You reached across the instruction booklet to boop his nose. "You’re such a nerd."

"You love it," he teased.

"I do."

An hour in, your floor was buried in baggies, bricks, and half-assembled engine cores. You’d lost count of how many times Peter had given you little Star Wars facts. Every single time, you smiled and gave him soft, amused responses:

“That’s so cool.”

“Really?”

“You’re kind of amazing, you know that?”

He always flushed a little when you said that. It made you want to keep doing it just to watch him try not to squirm.

The Falcon began to take shape. Compartments, smugglers’ holds, the cockpit frame. Peter showed you how the dish connected, and you helped him attach the forward mandibles. Each piece that clicked into place made the whole thing feel like a game.

You were reaching for another gray tile when the door cracked open behind you.

“Hey, kiddo, I was gonna ask if—”

Tony Stark stopped cold in the doorway. His brows furrowed as he took in the scene: you and Peter Parker sitting cross-legged on your bedroom floor, surrounded by a colorful minefield of LEGO, instruction books, half-built Falcon parts, and a disturbing amount of laser blaster minifigures.

He tilted his head slowly, eyes narrowing.

“What’s Spider-Boy doing here?”

Peter stiffened like he’d been hit with a stun gun. “Uh… hi, Mr. Stark.”

You looked up with a calm, practiced smile. “He wanted to hang out. We’re building LEGO's.”

Tony squinted. "That’s aggressively nerdy."

"Dad!"

He held up his hands in mock defense. “Hey, hey. Not judging. Just… observing. Judging a little, but still.”

Peter smiled awkwardly. “It’s a really advanced set.”

“I can see that.” Tony squinted. “Wait—when did you get here?”

Peter blinked. “Uh… not long ago?”

Tony’s eyes narrowed. "Wait a sec. When did you come in? I didn’t see you at the door."

Before Peter could speak, Tony looked at the two of you- then the window.

Tony pointed at Peter and looked directly at you. "Did he come through your window?"

Peter and you tried to speak at the same time once again- but were cut off.

"How long has that been going on? Is this, like, a nightly thing? Is he Batman-ing his way in here every week?"

“Dad,” you sighed, “we’ve been over this—”

Tony held up a finger. “You know what? Nope. Gonna circle back to that later. But in the meantime—Peter, dinner’s at seven. You’re staying. No arguments.”

Peter nodded quickly. “Yes, sir.”

“And next time,” Tony added, walking toward the door, “just use the damn door, kid.”

The hours passed in a whirl of bricks and giggles. Peter occasionally scooted closer so you could see the finer parts of the manual. Your arms would brush, and he’d blush, but neither of you mentioned it. At one point, he explained how the Falcon’s sensor dish was knocked off during the Battle of Endor, and that’s why it has a rectangular one in The Force Awakens.

Suddenly, Peter began looking around. He checked beside his legs and around the partially built spaceship. "Where’s the trans-clear radar tile? The one with the circular etching?"

You looked around, then frowned. "It was right here a second ago. Did it fall under the rug?"

The two of you searched every corner of the carpet. Peter was halfway under your bed, legs sticking out like some kind of reverse-spider-crab.

"Got it!" Peter popped back up, hair sticking out in every direction and holding the piece triumphantly. "I found it!"

You grinned. "Oh, my hero!"

He placed it delicately in your palm like he was bestowing a rare jewel.

By the time you reached the final few pieces, the sun had dipped beneath the skyline, casting golden light across the floor. Peter clicked the last turret into place and leaned back, breathless.

You both stared at the completed Falcon. It took up nearly half the floor space between you. In Peter's words, it was 'the second most beautiful thing ever made because you came first.'

Peter exhaled, satisfied. “I’m really glad I got to spend today with you.”

You turned to him and gently cupped his face in your hands. “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than with you.”

He blinked, clearly trying not to melt.

“Even if it’s just building LEGOs and me nerding out about Star Wars?”

You smiled, thumb brushing his cheek. “Especially that.”

He gave you that crooked, sunshine smile you adored—one that lit up his whole face.

Right on cue, FRIDAY’s voice filled the room:

“Miss Stark, Mr. Parker: dinner is ready. Mr. Stark has requested your presence. His exact words were: ‘tell the lovebirds to wash their hands and drag themselves to the kitchen before I come up there and hose them down.’”

You and Peter both burst out laughing.

Peter ran a hand through his curls, grinning. “That’s definitely your dad.”

You groaned with a smile, pushing off the floor and stretching. “I should’ve known he’d call us out eventually.”

He gave you that boyish, shy smile that made your heart melt. “You sure he’s not gonna kill me?”

You looped your arms around his neck. “If he was going to, he would’ve the first time you came through my window.”

“…So just mild intimidation tonight?”

You grinned. “Very mild.”

Right then, the door swung open without warning. You were greeted with none other than your father, who looked mildly annoyed.

“You two elope and forget to RSVP to dinner?”

You rolled your eyes, pushing yourself up slightly. “We were on our way.”

Tony stepped further into the room, gaze narrowing just slightly at Peter, who immediately sat up straighter, like being caught slouching was somehow the real offense.

“You okay there, Underoos?” Tony asked, lips twitching. “You look like I walked in on something scandalous. Should I knock next time?”

Peter’s face turned an impressive shade of red. “N-no! I mean—no, sir. We were just building the—uh—Falcon. That’s all. Just the Falcon. LEGO Falcon. Nothing else.”

Tony gave you a knowing look. “Is that what the kids are calling it these days?”

“Dad.”

He smirked. “Hey, I’m just saying—you tell your daughter and her spider-boyfriend dinner’s at 7:00, and 7:10 hits so I come looking and find his hands suspiciously close to your knee and you sitting there making oogly eyes at him."

Peter let out a noise that might’ve been a panicked laugh.

“We were literally talking about Star Wars,” you deadpanned.

“Uh-huh. Nerd foreplay,” Tony muttered. “The most dangerous kind.”

You gave him a look. “Can we not, please?”

Tony held his hands up in surrender. “Alright, alright. You’re right. I trust you. Mostly.” He gave Peter a long look. “Sixty percent.”

Peter squeaked out a “Thank you?”

Tony’s gaze dropped to the LEGO Millennium Falcon laid out in all its half-built glory. He tilted his head.

“Huh. Not bad.” He gave a small nod, then added, “I could probably build it faster.”

You raised an eyebrow. “Sure you could.”

He smirked. “Excuse me, I’m a mechanical genius. That thing’s like baby’s first blueprint.”

“You still couldn’t figure out how to open a cereal box this morning.”

“That was sabotage. Who triple seals Frosted Flakes?”

Peter tried and failed to stifle a laugh, to which Tony turned, mock-offended. “Oh, so now you’re on her side?”

Peter put his hands up, smiling nervously. “I’m neutral! Switzerland!”

Tony pointed at him. “Stay that way. Smart man.”

He took a final glance around the room, nodding once more before backing out. “Wrap it up, lovebirds. Dinner’s getting cold and I’m not reheating lasagna for two teenagers who chose LEGO bricks and whatever the hell you two were doing up here over my homemade masterpiece.”

You snorted. “You didn’t make that lasagna. FRIDAY ordered it.”

“Semantics,” Tony called over his shoulder as he disappeared down the hall.

word count: 6.1k

a/n: after writing way too much steve fluff, it’s time for some angst with my fav trope: fmc overhears her spouse call her clingy… eventual happy ending <3

tags: takes place after s4 timeskip, so much angst, emotional hurt, crying, reader has scars from a demo attack, nancy and robin are so sweet here, distancing, reader has ptsd, emotional vulnerability, reader was eddie's bsf, mentions of violence, trauma, typical upside down gore, lack of communication, so much fluff at the end, happy ending.

You truly didn’t mean to eavesdrop. 

If anything, it was an accident, a cruel, stupid accident orchestrated by the universe itself and whatever higher power up there that wanted to see you suffering. 

I LOVE THISSSSS! My favorite type of angst in its most beautiful form 10/10
