Could I Find Homeland In You? (Peter Parker One Shot)
Summary: based on the following nonnie’s lovely prompt - Can you do a TASM!Peter x fem!reader prompt where they are childhood besties but Peter kinda starts crushing on Gwen but then after he approaches her she turns him down and the reader comforts him until he finally realizes he loves her? Kinda gets angsty when Peter tells her about Gwen bc she has also had feelings for him since forever but refuses to acknowledge them. Best friends to lovers kinda trope… loads of fluff?
hope you enjoy this my sweet nonnie <3
Pairings: TASM!Peter Parker x Reader
Warnings: angst, fluff, swearing, italicised words between dividers are past moments between peter and the reader. This is non canon compliant. Peter, Reader and Gwen are in university.

Don’t look at them, don’t look at them. You chant to yourself, but your eyes do fixate, on his warm grin, bright brown eyes full of mirth. Then you gaze at the person making him laugh, Gwen.
Your heart sinks, you look back down at your notebook, ideas messily strewn across the pages. Lines crossed by ink but not you.
It isn’t that you dislike her, she is a really great person, you admire her work and she is always sweet to you.
It’s just Peter parker is completely taken by her, he hasn’t told you, his childhood best friend yet about how he feels but you can see it as clear as day. Peter blushing when he speaks to Gwen or about her, longingly looking at her when she walks past the two of you.
He doesn’t need to tell you what you already know.
You just wish he would look at you that way.
Because you look at him that way but he never finds your eyes.
“Do you want to continue this later? I’m kind of tired.” You ask the remaining members of the chemistry group project, your mood souring as Peter shifts closer to Gwen, reading the contents on her laptop over her shoulder. her temple resting against his jaw.
Your mind flashes to last week when the two of you were watching the latest episode of Dynasty, that was how you both were, cuddled up the laptop resting on the makeshift pillow stand.
You shake out of the memory looking at your group,
“Yeah.” They agree, you grab your scarce materials, shuffling out the door of the open area, it reverberates a clang upon shutting.
Peter looks up after a while, from the yearbook spread on Gwen’s screen, eyes scanning the area. His eyebrows furrow noticing your absence.
“That was just me loving them” Protect Andrew Garfield please
The only thing I’m mad about Spiderman no way home is the fact that there wasn’t even ONE(1) scene where one of them goes like “ wait you’re the actor from *insert random movie*. I loved it”.
It would have been funny to just see them so utterly confused
Peter 1: you look like that one actor from The Social Network
Peter 3: what?
Peter 1: you know the one, “sorry, my Prada’s at the cleaners!!”
Peter 3: *gasp* you can afford Prada?
Peter 1: *sigh* no, it’s a line– you know what, never mind
Peter 2: I don’t think he looks all that much like Justin Timberlake
Peter 1: *face palms*
Peter 3: wha- you thought I looked like Justin Timberlake? Dude, that man is bullshit. Once he interviewed me while I was spiderman and he made me so uncomfortable
Peter 2: He what? Why would an actor interview you?
Peter 3: actor? No, he’s a reporter
Peter 1: *furiously searching on Google* oh, for the love of god. THIS ONE. NOT TIMBERLAKE. GARFIELD.
Peter 2: The cat?!
