    Summary

    “It’s twenty-two degrees,” he says, sounding deflated. “Too cold for you to take the bus. Or the train. Just let me— let us take you home. Please.”

    His eyes meet hers, wide and begging. MJ is admittedly both charmed and flustered. He’s hit her with that look before. Hell, he used it on her earlier today when he wanted to get a bag of peanuts before the meet and she wanted to rush to the auditorium. But now, with his hair outlined by the yellow glow of nearby streetlamps and the intimacy of their uninterrupted company, MJ finds it harder to resist. She tells herself it’s because she’s tired and just wants to go home, but she knows the real reason.

    “Fine,” she sighs. “Let’s just go.”

    Summary

    Michelle smiled because she was surrounded by the essence of her favorite season, by blood red and canary yellow, by wind and those small swirls of leaves that would spin around like a small tornado when they were caught in it, by that feeling she couldn’t describe. Fall. And normally, she’d think, sharing this season with someone like Peter Parker would desecrate her view of it, but oddly, it made it… better, somehow.

    Summary

    There’s this list of people MJ loves or cares about or whatever. It’s not a real list. She never took a piece of paper and wrote the names down because well, lame, so it’s a list that only exists in her head.

    It’s not a long list either. It’s her Dad (because he’s the best person she knows), her Nan (because she’s a fucking badass), Rutger Bregman (because everyone has a celebrity crush and hers happens to be the dude who went to Davos and roasted a bunch of billionaires), May (because like MJ’s Dad, she’s the living proof that losing the love of your life doesn’t have to turn you into a bitter, dysfunctional parent), her Uncle Nick (even though he’s never around), Ned (because they have more in common than one might think), and a certain puppy-eyed loser who was already late for class on their first day at Midtown.

    (Surprisingly, said puppy-eyed loser made it on time on their last day at Midtown, so it’s fair to say that there might be hope for him yet.)

    Summary

    For some reason, he feels a little ridiculous in his suit, and he grits out a wet laugh when she tells him that she brought the mace in case he needed some help, and her crooked smile reminds him of spring, a time when she stopped stealing from his plate during lunch and started throwing high-calorie nutrition bars at him in-between classes.

    (He would catch them mid-air with helpless confusion painting wrinkles on his face, and he would wolf them down under her scrutinising gaze.)

    They never talked about it, that Saturday afternoon she’d bought him a blueberry scone, and how keeping him fed slowly became a self-imposed duty of hers. They never talked about anything, really. They never had to. There was an understanding between them – silent but unmistakable – and it looks like it never went missing because one minute her hands unfold to reveal the cracked remains of the necklace, prompting him to stutter out apologies, and the next he’s cut off by her lips and –

    Oh.

     

    Oh.

    Summary

    He thinks he finally understands what this is once they're outside. That "there's something magical in the air" thing you hear in TV commercials at this time of the year? It's definitely happening to him right now.
