    Summary

    "Well if it isn't Peter Parker."

    The bass thuds through the room like a train through a tunnel, and the wine seeps through the fabric of MJ's shirt like deep red ink running into a wet paper towel.

    Peter blinks at her profusely, as if he can't quite believe that what he's seeing isn't just some drunken mirage. But he quickly gains his composure, his face relaxing easily, even though the wild look in his eyes remains.

    "Well if it isn't...MJ."

     

    In which Peter and MJ spend an eventful 24 hours together after three years apart.

    Summary

    Right before their first spring break at NYU, MJ comes over to Ned and Peter's apartment for a favor: she needs someone to spend a week with her and her family in Hawaii, and come as her date to her aunt's wedding so her family will finally stop tormenting her about being single. There's one catch, though: Peter and MJ can't stand each other, and entangling them in a fake relationship will definitely ensue chaos... and maybe something else.

    Summary

    On Monday, Flash catches Michelle's gaze in the hall and Michelle catches his, turns it into something dark and scathing, and throws it back. The incline of his eyebrow is asking, have you sorted Peter's shit out yet? Michelle doesn't even bother schooling into her features into an expression that could read as an answer. He's not worth her time.

    And, plus, the answer is no.

    She's given up all her recent opportunities to question Peter. She doesn't want to interrogate him about his life. She doesn't want him to think she cares.

    Because she doesn't. Not really. The thought of caring, of being actively involved in someone else's life seems messy. Complicated. Especially if that someone is Peter Parker.

    This is why she sticks to observing people quietly from the sidelines.

     

    (Peter has been acting weird and Michelle tries not to care).

    (And fails).

    Summary

    He leaves the news channel on long enough for her to comment, "Must be fun, swinging from buildings like that. Well, either fun or completely terrifying."

    "Yeah," Peter says. And then, because he's an idiot, adds, "He's cool."

    Michelle shifts, kicks her feet up onto the coffee table. "Hm. I'm more into The Winter Soldier type. Dark, mysterious, dangerous. That's cool"

    Peter is about to reply through a steadily deepening frown - The Winter Soldier??? Cooler than Spider-Man??? Really??? - but when Michelle had shifted on the couch, she had somehow ended up with her shoulder bumping his, their arms almost pressed together, and for some reason the warmth of her body so close is really distracting. So he doesn't say anything.

     

    (Peter is a dumb teenage boy who just wants Michelle to think he's cool).

    Summary

    “Nice.” She bumps their shoulders together and then holds hers there, keeping a point of contact between them. “Same.” Peter looks up from his hands to her face, and she’s wearing an expression he’s never seen before. It’s kind, and open, and wildly beautiful in a way he’s never really noticed before, and oh God, his brain’s going to start composing some shitty poetry if he doesn’t look away in the next two seconds. It’s not that he’s never noticed Michelle is pretty, it’s kind of impossible not to, but it was always in an objective, factual way: the sky is blue, grass is green, Michelle is beautiful. And besides, he spent too much time pining over Liz to even think of anyone else. But now Liz is in Oregon, and Michelle is here, touching their shoulders together, and he’s probably going to tell her that he’s Spiderman.

    Post-Homecoming. Peter develops feelings for Michelle, and mostly deals with it well.
