Work Text:
Peter moves in with Johnny Storm since MJ and Ned forgot about him, and Aunt May died. He met Johnny one day patrolling as Spider-Man, and a few months later Johnny has been pestering Peter to move in with him after finding out Peter's story. Another few months fly by and here he is, moving in with Johnny. Although he wasn't sure he wanted to show Johnny what he does behind closed doors, when he really acts all spider like. He knew it freaked people out, since Ned had been freaked out when he found Peter on Aunt May's apartment ceiling, drinking a smoothie and working on homework. Or when MJ was surprised when Peter crossed his legs and stuck to the wall with his back, reading a DC comic. Though they never really see him be more spidery, he knew some would be freaked out if any of his habits were shown.
It's been a few weeks since Johnny and Peter have been living together. Johnny felt as if Peter hasn't really made himself at home, wasn't really settling in. "Pete, are you comfortable here?"
"Yeah, It's cozy, I really like it here."
"But you're so tense, you know you don't have to worry about anything, I won't be freaked out."
That conversation made Johnny regret telling Peter to let loose. One day he found Peter in a giant web after work. He was opening the door and found a huge web in a corner with Peter asleep in the middle of it. Johnny jumped as he saw Peter wake up and climb out of the web inhumanly, then crawl on the floor, popping in front of Johnny and yawning as he rubbed the sleepiness form his eyes.
"Hey John, sorry, I fell asleep, how was work?" Johnny was out of words, he knew Peter acted spidery, but was this a prank? A joke maybe?
A few weeks after Deadpool found out Peter's identity, he would randomly pop up in his and Johnny's apartment. One day, as he was sneaking in, he laid on the couch, then dozed off. A few minutes later, he found himself in a cocoon of webbing on a giant spider web. His head is out of the cocoon, so he looks around to find he's still in the apartment, but hanging upside down against the giant web. He looks to his right to Peter crawling abnormally, freaking Wade out. He was about to scream, until a web covered his mouth.
"Wade, what the fuck are you doing here?" Peter calls out, crawling towards him. Wade struggles against the webs, trying to get out of them. Peter slowly makes his way towards the wrapped man, barring his teeth. Wade takes a closer look to see fangs.
"HM! HMM MMMMM MMMMM??" Wade tries to talk against the webs on his face. Peter rips it off as he crawls around the web. "Ahhh! Thanks. but ARE THOSE FUCKING FANGS?" Peter shrugs and shows his teeth again.
"Yeah, the spider that bit me was a Araneus Oscorpeus, they have fangs that drip with venom, I never actually use them though." Peter explains, Wade sat there with confusion on his face.
"Can you get me down?" Peter laughs and cuts him loose, but stays on the web and lays down.
"If you're going to stay, can you cook rice? I was supposed to make it but I don't feel like it." Peter rests his hands behind his head and crosses his legs over each other. Wade nods and heads to the kitchen, after that encounter, he never randomly dropped in.
One day Matt was having lunch with Deadpool and Spider-Man on a rooftop. Spider-Man the disappeared behind them and a few minutes later, Matt heard a ruckus behind him. Spider-Man was chilling on a hammock made of webs. he had wrapped his lunch in webs and bit into it with his fangs, which liquefied the food and he drank it up. Matt was disturbed to say the least. He knew he was named Spider-Man, but didn't know he actually lived up to the name. Spider-Man looks back at Deadpool and Daredevil with a nonchalant face, and smiles when he noticed they were looking. Deadpool laughs, then remembers when Peter webbed him up.
"PETE, WERE YOU GOING TO EAT ME THAT ONE TIME?" Peter shrugs and sips on his webbed up food.
"Maybe, if you didn't cook the rice." Deadpool was terrified to say the least. Matt laughed as he heard the interaction. He was glad this was how he found out Peter acted like his alter-ego's name. But then stopped laughing when he didn't hear Peter lie.
"Pete, you didn't lie."
"Yup, I would have dissolved him, if he could be dissolved, that is. And eat him up!" Peter says innocently, making a chill run though Matt, especially since it wasn't lie.
A few hours later, Pete had a guy wrapped up in a web cocoon, who was suspected to be apart of Kingpin's plan.
"Talk." Matt says bluntly, he knew the guy wouldn't but what can the guy do? He was wrapped up and was deprived of his weapons.
"No!"
"Spider, help."
"Alright, Mr. Man. What do you know about Kingpin's plan?"
"Nothing! I swear!" The guy lied right through his teeth, but Matt knew he was lying.
"Try again." Matt said.
"Look man I don't know anything, if I spilled I would get fucked up, or even killed if he finds out." Peter sighs and bares his teeth, showing his fangs. Matt smirks, knowing what's coming up.
"Spill, or the thing that's going to spill is my venom, into your veins. You'll be paralyzed, but still be able to feel everything. Then, I'll dissolve you and drink you up." Peter threatened. Matt would be impressed, but he felt that Peter was telling the truth. He didn't skip a single heart beat, sending yet another shiver down Matt's back.
"I thought you were the good guy!"
"HA! You'll wish I was by the time I'm done with you."
"OKOK I'll spill, please don't eat me!" Peter snickers to himself and walks back next to daredevil as they listen to the guy.
After they gathered the information they needed, Peter let the man go, not before he snarled at him, making the man run faster. Peter laughs sadistically after the man running. Matt sighs and turns to Peter.
"Pete, were you actually going to eat the man? Your heart didn't even skip a beat."
"Nah, well I was feeling hungry, so maybe if I was a bit hungrier." Matt laughed and patted Peter on the back.
"Let's get you some food Spider."
Johnny was cooking up some food, he had a pan in his hand as he used his fire to heat up some food. Peter walks in with a brown paper bag.
"Hey Pete, hope you don't have food in there. I'm cooking us something real good." Peter shrugs and heads to his web. Johnny let Peter have the web after having a heated argument about keeping it, but Peter's puppy eyes got the better of the Human Torch. He watches as Peter gets comfy on the web and then takes a handful of something from his paper bag and webs it up. Then proceeded to bit down on the webs and wait for a few seconds before drinking it. Johnny looks a bit displeased, but his curiosity got the better of him. "Pete, what are you drinking?" Peter hums in question as he gestures to his web sack.
"This?
"Yeah..."
"Oh, just a tiny snack I have form time to time. Though it's better when I don't have to liquify them." The answer is so vague that Johnny turns around with the pan and looks back at Peter with his hand on his hip.
"Snack?"
"Yeah, want some?" Peter holds out the sack and Johnny shakes his head violently in disgust.
"Pete, what's in it?"
"Oh, just some crickets and grasshoppers." Peter responds calmly. For a few moments there was an uncomfortable silence between the two roommates as Johnny tries to digest what Peter said.
"WHAT?"
Deadpool is hanging around Peter's apartment, waiting for his partner in crime. He scrolls onto his phone and sees a news passage about some dumb reporter trying to figure out Spider-Man's identity. He scrolled down and saw some statements from Spider-Man himself.
"Yeah, behind the mask is just a bunch of spiders." Deadpool laughs and hears Spider-Man join him on the roof.
"What's so funny?" Peter asks, tilting his head.
"Your statement about your identity, the reporter looks so traumatized just thinking about it!" Deadpool laughs. Peter shrugs and sits down next to him.
"Well, can't let them know about this gorgeous face." Peter laughs. They launch themselves off the building and start patrolling with Daredevil, who requested help about the info the guy shared with them. They sneak into the building, with Peter climbing the walls, like a fucking spider. This would shock anyone, but Daredevil and Deadpool have seen it countless times to the point where it's second nature to see him on the walls.
They listen in to a conversation between Wesley and another man before Peter's attention focuses on another spider in the corner he was in. As much as he would like to avoid it, his spider instinct wouldn't let him. He hissed at the spider and started showing his dominance against it. Wade looks up to see Peter picking a fight with a spider and lets out a quiet chuckle. Matt on the other hand is tired of the shenanigan and glares at Peter to quiet down.
"Sorry, the spider is trying to pick a fight with me. I'm 'bouta beat a bitch up." the response makes Deadpool let out a loud laugh, blowing their cover. A gun shoots off to their direction and the three of them rush in and start a fight.
A few minutes after the fight was over, Peter is still trying to fight the spider. He punches the corner and a crater is left in it's place, a few inches away from the spider itself, which starts to run away. Peter lets out a aggravated growl and picks up the spider. Matt knew what was going to happen, he picked up a few facts from Foggy when he had a small spider obsession back in collage. He tries to stop Peter, but then he raised his mask over his nose and ate the spider. Deadpool laughs so hard he falls to the ground but Matt sighs and rests his head in his hands as he walked away. Peter just shrugs it off and swings back to his apartment.
Johnny was tired of Peter's shit. He regretted telling Peter he was fine with him acting all spidery, but now it's just a burden to keep the promise. He knew it was best to let it happen, he didn't want Peter back on the streets. Johnny sighs and puts his head in his arms. He lifts up his head to find Peter a few inches away, upside down.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Peter mocks. Johnny screams and falls back on his chair, causing Peter to laugh hysterically. Johnny lays on the floor for a moment in embarrassment as Peter continues to laugh.
"Pete, why do you have to do that. Like how do you sneak around without me hearing? Not to mention, into my room?" Peter comes down from his web and sits next to Johnny on the floor.
"I dunno, I just walk in, sometimes."
"Sometimes!?"
"Yeah, other times I could just lie flat on the ceiling and slowly open the door. " Johnny looked at him in complete shock. "Or just walk in like a normal person."
"That's- actually... nah that's to boring." Johnny sighs and gets up.
"I guess I have to get used to it."
"Yup!" Peter says, popping the 'p'.
Peter has been swinging around the city then he sees Ultron terrorizing the city. He sighs and drops down next to Deadpool and Daredevil. He didn't want to deal with a huge battle that day, so he drops down and lets out an irritated sigh.
"Hey Petey-Pie!" Deadpool grunts out as he hold a stab wound on his side. Peter sighs again and rushes to fight Ultron. He wasn't feeling it that day, so he wanted the battle to be over. He over hears Deadpool joking with Daredevil, "... bites Ultron's ass off." He catches as he sings away. He thought of it, but wasn't sure if he would even be able to get close enough to him to even think about biting him.
"Spider-man? Where are you?" Ultron mocks. Peter sighs and lands next to him. "There you are, Spider-Man!" Ultron tries to throw a piece of debris but Peter casually dodges. "Why no quips Spider?"
"Not feeling it today man, can we wrap this up soon? I have an essay due in like," Peter pulls out his phone and checks the time, "1 hour hour. It's worth half my grade, can we hurry up?" Ultron looks confused, but then throws some more debris. Peter rolls his eyes and swings up behind Ultron, he kicks him halfway across the street, his posture showing that he's doing this lazily. Ultron gets up and starts swinging punches at him. He dodges them and punches Ultron again, far away. The robot then charges after Peter, he swings under him and bites him in the ass with his fangs.
"What- did you just bite me?"
"Uhh."
"What the hell. You bit like half my back off!"
"Whatever man, I wasn't feeling like fighting today." Just as he said that, Iron Man and a few Avengers show up.
"Kid, What are you doing here?" Iron Man asks, shooting a beam at the robot.
"I bite his ass off." Peter shrugs. He's eyes fall onto Black Widow. "I have a feeling like I should let her bite my head off." Peter quips as he pulls out of the fight, leaving the Avengers to Ultron.
Spider-Man was doing his daily patrols and helps Daredevil with something when he stops and grabs a tacos. He does his normal thing of wrapping his food around with webs, when daredevil joins him on the roof. He has a taco in his hand and pats Peter on his back. Peter leans into the pat, he doesn't get much affection from Daredevil, though he gets too much from Deadpool.
"Good job, Pete." Daredevil says, he bites into his taco and rest his hand on Peter back. Peter smiles and leans his head on to Daredevil, slow enough that if Daredevil didn't want it, he could back away, but Peter finds his head on his shoulder. He sips the tacos from his webbing and leans into Matt, who has his arm wrapped around him. As much as Matt would disagree, he does have a soft spot for the spider. He pats him on his head for a few second, then hears a slight purring.
"Pete, are you- are you purring?" Matt chokes out, trying to hide his laughter. Peter pulls away fast and his face is red with embarrassment as Matt laughs.
"Shut up! Some species of spiders purr!" Peter explains pulling his mask on and swinging away, hearing Matt die of laughter a few feet away from him. Way to ruin the moment.
Peter heads back to his apartment after the embarrassing scene with Daredevil and crawls to his web, before dosing off to sleep. A few hour later, he hears Johnny making some ruckus in the kitchen so he crawls on the ceiling and lands behind Johnny, making noise so Johnny isn’t startled by him. He rests his head on Johnny's shoulder and sighs. Johnny moves his head a bit to give space for the sleep deprived Peter Parker. He reaches over Johnny and grabs a slice of bread and crawls back to to his web in the corner of the living room. He eats it without wrapping it. Johnny found out a few days after Peter started doing that, when he doesn't wrap his food, Peter isn't in the mood. Johnny knew better than to pester Peter when he was having an off day, but his curiosity got the better of him. He sighs and pushed off the counter and headed towards the balled up Peter. He gently tugs at a corner of the web to signal Peter that he’s there.
“Not now, Storm.” Johnny flinched, he never heard Peter say his last name especially with such sorrow. He stands in front of the balled Peter and taps on him, know he might either regret this or make Peter a bug meal.
“Pete, what’s going on?” Peter sighs and pulls out of his curled up position and explains what happened the night before. Johnny chokes back a laugh, but Peter notices it.
“Are you laughing at me? What the fuck, you said you wouldn’t.” Peter says throwing a web ball at him. Johnny catches it and pats Peter on the head.
”I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing because you think Daredevil would think lowly of you from just that. I’ve seen how proud he is of you, like a dad watching his kid’s football game.” Johnny says, pulling Peter out of the web. “Now stop your depressed show and take a shower, food will be ready when you’re done.” Johnny ruffles Peter’s head, hearing a slight purr, before Peter rushes to get his hand off of his head. Johnny chuckles and slowly takes his hand off. “I think it’s kinda cute!” He admits as Peter storms off to the bathroom. He wasn’t lying, it was cute that Peter was so happy when someone one gave him attention, the kid needed it.
Daredevil felt bad for the day before hand. He couldn’t help himself and laughed as he heard Peter’s heart race with embarrassment. Was it a dick move? Maybe. Was he ashamed? Maybe. He knew Peter looked up to him, and he knew what it was like to have someone laugh at your face. So he had an idea of how Peter felt. He was going to call to apologize, then speak of the devil, he enters through Matt’s roof access. Peter clicks his tongue 2 times, it was a sort of calling to let the other know they were there. Team Red does it most of the time when their in battle. Peter walks down the steps and sits across from Matt who is pouring a glass of whiskey and another glass of water for Peter.
“Hey, Pete. Heard you come in, half a block from here.” Matt joked, giving the saddened teen and glass of water. Peter sighed and slumped in the bar stool. “I want to apolo-“
”I want to apologize.” They look at each other as they both realized they said the same thing. Peter slams his head against the table and sighs. “I had a whole speech planned out and everything!” Peter nervously laughs out. His heart rate was through the roof with anxiety. Matt let out a chuckle.
”Makes you feel any better, I’ve been working on my apology since you left the roof.” Peter looked at the blind man, shocked. He laughs quietly, “How about I go first? Seems like I should be the one apologizing, not you.” Peter silently agrees as he sits up straighter . “I’m sorry for laughing last night, it was a dick move. I didn’t mean anything by it, I just couldn’t help but find it adorable.” Matt explained, takes a short sip of his drink. Peter smiles and takes a sip of his water as well.
”I’m sorry for running and not talking to you about it.” Peter says after a few seconds later.
”Pete, you didn’t have to apologize, like I said, I should be the one apologizing.” Matt says, he heads over to the barstool Peter was sitting in and taps Peter’s shoulder and gestures to the couch. “You should sit in the couch, the stools are a but uncomfortable.” Peter walks next to Matt, although Matt doesn’t need it, Peter guides him to the couch. He sits down and Peter follows, laying his head on Matt shoulder. Matt smiles and runs his fingers through Peter’s hair. Peter lets out a purr, but instead of laughing, Matt continues running his fingers through his hair till he fell asleep. He carefully puts him in his bed and slept on the couch.
“PETEY-PIE!” Deadpool shouts as he sees the teen. He isn’t in hero costume, so it might be a bit odd for the Deadpool to run up to a random teen.
“Um, hi, Deadpool.” Peter says as the mercenary runs up to him. He dodges the hug and watches at Deadpool squirmed on the floor. Deadpool tries again, trying to get a hold of the slippery spider.
”Petey-Pie! I missed you dearly!” Deadpool struggled out as he continued to try to hug him. Peter graciously dodged the hugs. They end up in an alleyway and a stray brick ends up making Peter trip. As Deadpool saw an opening, he jumped on Peter. Instinct kicked in and he bit Deadpool’s shoulder with his fangs. “Petey, did you fucking bite me?” Deadpool sounded taken a back.
”Yeah.”
”Oh. Um, I can’t feel my arm.”
”I think thats the venom working its way through your system. If i remember, your legs are next.” As if in cue, Deadpool’s legs go limp and so does the rest of his body.
”Petey, help me I can’t move.” Peter shrugs and shoves Wade off of him. “Petey, don’t leave!” Peter hums as he takes his headphones and idly puts them on, raising the volume to hide Wade’s pleas.
A few hours into patrolling, Daredevil hears a slowed heartbeat in a nearby alleyway. The guy sounded like he was about to die.
“Matty! Help! I’m paralyzed!” Wade shouts from the floor. Matt rolled his eyes and jumped down. He helped Wade back on his feet and steadied him.
“Who did this to you? How long have you been here for?”
“Petey-Pie, and maybe 3 hours?” Matt sighed and walked out of the alley with the limp Wade.
“What did he do? Bite you?” Matt teased.
“Yeah, his venom paralyzed me and he wouldn’t help me.” Matt quietly laughed as Wade started regaining his feeling. The closest apartment they were Johnny and Peter’s so Matt ended up bring Wade there. Johnny answers the door in his boxers and apron and Peter is casually watching something on his phone, curled up on his web. Peter glances up and smiles at Matt, then glaring at Wade and he waved to Peter. Johnny lets Matt and Wade in, Matt threw Wade onto the couch and say next to him. Peter snickered from the corner as he realized Wade was still paralyzed from the bite. Johnny and Matt laugh and point at Wade as they hear the story. Wade was still a bit limp, but was able to sit up and Peter was still on his web, holding a brown paper bag.
“What’s the in the bag?” Wade asks, struggling to take a sip of water. Peter grabs a handful and wraps it up, then he liquified the contents and took a sip.
“Want some?” Wade shrugged and took a tiny sip. It was disgusting.
“Bleh, what the hell is that?”
“Cockroaches, grasshoppers, some ants, and a handful of flies.” Peter says, taking a sip from the sack. Deadpool retches as he realized he just drank a bunch of dead bugs, Johnny runs and goes to grab a trashcan, and Matt starts laughing hysterically, to the point Peter wasn’t sure if he would survive.
“Pete, you eat bugs?” Matt laughs out.
”Occasionally, but I don’t really have to eat much. I can go up to 2 weeks without needing food. It would be longer, but my metabolism needs it.” Johnny walks back into the room with a plastic bag and Wade barely makes it as he pukes into it.
“So,’pool, how does it feel?” Johnny teases as he pats Wades back to help the man throw up.
”On a scale from 1/10? 0. Would not recommend.” He manages to say as he emptied out his meals. Peter laughs as he folds up the brown bag and wraps it up in webs, then sticking it to the bigger web.
Johnny’s been out of the city for a few weeks helping Fantastic 4 with some mission, and Peter hasn’t been doing great. He did massively rely on Johnny to make food, but he did know how to make food, sometimes he would get too tired from patrolling he would crash on his web-bed.
Tonight was basically the same routine. He would patrol and capture a few guys and then head home, but tonight he was feeling a bit too hungry. He webbed up one of the thieves, but then his instinct lead him to cocoon the robber and bring him home. He made a separate web near the fridge for the balled up thief. He was just about to bite into the cocoon until he saw his phone buzz. A message from Johnny saying that he’ll be back soon. Peter smiles and goes to his web, forgetting about the robber whose still balled up in the cocoon with only a small hole to breathe through.
Peter wakes up to Johnny knocking on the door and entering in. He runs up and greet the blonde, take his stuff and putting it back into his room. Before Peter can ask him about his mission, he remembered the balled up man. He realized to late as he hears Johnny yell from the kitchen.
”PETER WHY IS THERE A COCOON NEXT TO THE FRIDGE?” Johnny shouted from the kitchen. Peter walks in and explained what happened. Johnny made him cut the guy lose, but not before threatening him to not tell another soul what he saw. “Did you try to eat a person?” Johnny finally says through their thick silence a few minutes after the robber left.
”No… I never ate anyone before.”
“Alright, buddy. We are eating out today.”
