st_arkinternPeter Parker was never much of an artist.
Sure, he doodled out designs of what he wanted his proto-Spider-Man costume to look like, but none of them were really any good. And they were even worse when Peter got out his fabric marker and tried to draw that design on the hoodie and sweatpants he bought at the thrift store two blocks down from the apartment he shared with Aunt May. That was a disaster.
But when faced with the prospect of his Very First Valentine's Day with his Very First Girlfriend, Peter didn't know what else to get her. They'd only been dating for just-over-three weeks, and he didn't want to creep her out by getting her something Too Extravagant for a holiday this early in the relationship.
So he settled on a card he'd been working on for the past five days, and a bag of heart-shaped sugar cookies (at Piotr's suggestion) procured from Slayer's Cake 2.
Peter sits in the conference room where Liz asked him to meet her, trying his best to gather his nerve. He looks down at his card. Drawn on a single square of thick cardstock was a simple spider with the phrase 'You've caught me in your web' written in neat print below it. A simple spider-web (drawn with reference, of course, thanks to his webslinging fluid) decorated the background.
Peter hopes she'll like it. He wasn't sure how she felt about spiders, or puns. He was pretty sure she was okay with spiders (most people, he's sure, would probably have mentioned it the first time they saw him in his Spidey-wear), but you could never tell who would like a pun and who wouldn't.
And Peter looks up just a fraction of a second before he hears a sound at the door.
