NIGHT IN THE HOTEL ROOM

The silent night was disturbed as a fist knocked on the hard wooden door of a hotel room. Incoherent curses were mumbled from the inside, it took at least a minute before the tanned skinned teen opened the door to a disheveled Peter Parker.

"What do you want," she mumbled and rubbed her eye with the ball of her hand. Her hair was pulled into a messy bun, with the fringe out of her face, her gorgeous features were a lot more visible. She was wearing a long t-shirt with 'Viva la pluto' embedded on the front of the shirt. The rest of her was bare however the shirt reached her thighs so nothing embarrassing could be seen.

"Hey. . . MJ. Do you mind if I u-uh come in for a moment?" Peter grimaced at his voice. It was dry a raspy as he had been crying his heart out a few moments ago. MJ being MJ noticed this and motioned for him to enter. She yawned and flicked the lights on to the hotel room and walked to the small suitcase that rested on the floor next to the bed. She pulled out a small cuddly toy and walked back over to Peter who was nervously standing near the closed door.

          The toy wasn't Peter's, it was her personal stuffed animal that despite her age, she couldn't sleep without it so she brought it everywhere with her, sometimes she stuffed it in her backpack when she was at school. She never intended for Peter to find out, but one day as she was sent to the nurses office for being sick everywhere, Peter gathered her items and put them in her bag. The giraffe head attracted his attention and he later asked her about it. She told him it was a comfort item that helped her cope in stress situations. She begged him not to tell Ned or anyone else and he happily obliged.

His eyes were glassy and his face was red around his eyes. He was clearly upset and since Ned wasn't around, he had gone to the next best person. MJ pressed the small Giraffe into his chest and guided him over to the small bed. He plopped himself on the edge and hugged the giraffe close to him while MJ sat next to him. She quietly wrapped her arms around his torso into a sideways hug and rested her head against his broad shoulder.

(Lol 'plopped') I'm so childish ew)

"So," She said after Peter let out a sniffle. "Are you gonna tell me what's upset you and who do I have to snatch a wig from?" She squeezed him slightly as she said that causing Peter to chuckle under his breath despite the situation.

"It's nothing." MJ rolled her eyes, not buying it at all. "Okay, so, basically. . . I was out doing my Spidey junk and I see this man being held by gunpoint. So I'm like, 'okay this is a mugging'. But as I go down there, the bad guy saw me and I guess he panicked 'cause the next thing I know, I'm cradling this guys head off the dirty floor while trying to stop him bleeding to death. I guess it just made me remember Uncle B-Ben and when the dude died. . . I-I c-couldn't- I- didn't-" He started to choke on his words and breathing rapidly.

"Hey Peter," MJ interupted, her voice uncharacteristicly soft and gently towards the sobbing boy as he kneaded his crying eyes with his fists. She placed her hand on his and gently pushed them away from his eyes as he styared at her. "It's okay. It's okay to be upset, yknow. You don't have to bottle up your emotions. I know you like the back of my hand dude-" she lightly punched his bicep. "You always feel that other people don't care about how you feel and that's not good. You need to know that letting other people know how you're feeling isn't a bad thing. It helps. I know that you feel like you burden people with your problems and emotions but, trust me Parker, it hurts a lot more to see you suffer in silence than to hold you when you let it all go." Her words sunk deep into him and danced around his brain. He nodded and leant his head on hers, the two matched perfectly. Silent tears cascaded down his face as he thought about that night. When he had held that man, his face morphed into Ben's and deja vu hit him like Vultures Wings at the night of Homecoming.

     He let out a whimper as he remembered the pain he felt that night, he remembered being alone. But now he wasn't alone, MJ's arms squeezed him tightly while pressing a kiss to the side of his head - although he could immediately tell that it was a friendly kiss. His eyes went slightly wide as she let a melody slip her lips. She slowly started to sing a lullaby and gently rocked him. The soothing song and motion sent him to sleep.

     When she was sure he was asleep, she placed a pillow under his head and draped a blanket over him. She then picked up her phone and stepped outside of the room and onto the balcony. Sparing no time, she dialed Tony's number and pressed the phone to her ear.

"Buddy the Elf, what's your favourite color?"

"Tony, it's MJ."

"That's odd, I didn't know MJ was a color."

"Tony I'm being serious."

"Hello, being serious. I'm Da-"

"Tony! It's about Peter."

"You have my attention."

"Did Pete come to you about a fatality at all?"

"Mm not recently."

"When was the last time?"

"Uh. . . Maybe six months ago?"

"Uh, well Tony. Peter just came into my hotel room-"

"Why are you in a hotel room..?"

"Last minute field trip. Didn't May tell you?"

"I think I might've gotten distracted by her beautiful eyes."

"Anyways! Peter came in and he was really upset. He was crying about a man who had died while he was on duty. He was reminded about his uncle. Tony, you really need to talk to him about his feelings."

"What do you mean?"

"He always bottles them up. It's really upsetting to see him so sad.

"Oh jeez. I'll talk to him when I pick him up. How is he now?"

"He's sleeping with a giraffe."

"I'm not going to ask."

"Good idea."

"Right. Well, goodnight Michelle."

"Goodnight Tones."

      She ended the call and walked back into the room to see Peter curled in a ball and closely hugging the giraffe toy, a soft smile rested on his face. MJ pulled the discarded blanket back over his body and gave him a friendly kiss on his forehead.
