Senior year was coming to a close. Eighteen year old Peter Parker and his girlfriend, Y/N L/N had spent the last month of Senior year working and planning and saving all of their money for a much needed road trip.
Senior year had been stressful. They just needed a couple of weeks to relax and unwind and forget about the outside world for a little bit. A couple of weeks to themselves. To travel. To have one last bit of fun before college.
College. It had been eating away at the pair. Like most couples, they were going away to different colleges, splitting off. But they weren't breaking up. They were going to make it work. Somehow they'd find a way around the distance. Whether that be video calling every night, travelling to see each other on the weekends, they'd do whatever it took.
While Y/N said goodbye to her parents, Peter loaded up the van. It had cost a pretty penny to rent, but it was definitely worth it. The previous night was spent in Y/N's single bed, trying to sleep without accidently pushing her to the floor.
Y/N strode out of the door, bag full of snacks on her back. From the doorway her father glared. He'd never had that much of a problem with Peter before, but the road trip had caused some tension between the two. Peter offered a wave before opening the passenger door and helping his girlfriend in.
"He'll get over it," she said and looked back at her dad. Her hand left Peters as she pulled the seat belt over her body and buckled herself in.
Peter raised his eyebrows. "You sure about that?"
"Yes, Pete. Now, let's go before he changes his mind."
To Y/N, Peter was still a baby. His birthday was early August, making her the oldest of the pair. But he had been taught to drive by the one and only Tony Stark and he'd been able to get his drivers license first, making him the designated driver for the trip.
The two climbed into the van and drove off.
With the bag of snacks between them, they started on their journey. They had no destination in mind, the middle of nowhere would do. Peter wanted to see stars, properly see them. The poor boy had been to outer space, yet nothing could beat laying on a blanket in the middle of nowhere, looking at stars with the girl he loved.
Y/N turned up the radio and began humming along. She hadn't get gotten her drivers licence. With senior year and no job, she hadn't been able to pay for the driving lessons. But she didn't mind letting Peter drive.
They drove through Queens. The traffic was horrendous; they were stuck for at least ten minutes at one point. That was why they got the subway everywhere.
"Snack?" Y/N offered and opened the bag. Stuck at a standstill, she handed her boyfriend a sandwich. Peters fingers were tapping against the steering wheel as he watched the cars in front of him. They'd be driving through the night if it kept up like this.
Silence settled between them after their snacks, both too tired to converse. Y/N turned the radio up, listening for any traffic updates.
The cars in front finally started moving and the pair set off again. "MJ and Ned really wanted to come with," Y/N muttered as she checked her phone.
"Too bad," said Peter. "These are the only few days I can spend with my girlfriend and I want to make the most of it."
Now, McDonald's coffee was gross, the pair both knew that. Even with their full nights sleep, exhaustion still clung to their bones and Peter felt ill-prepared for a night on the road. "We can get pancakes too, Pete," she muttered and pouted.
Rolling his eyes, Peter pulled into the McDonald's drive thru. The two got their coffees and a tray of pancakes to share (Peter made eating and driving look easy.)
Most of their journey was filled with giggles and jokes, the pair now fully awake. Y/N used her gag of a Spider-Man fan page to put pictures of her boyfriend driving (the people following had no idea that Spider-Man was actually in the pictures. It was the whole reason why she started the account, to show off Peter and post the occasional Spider-Man picture along with it. Just to piss Flash off, Peter would get into the suit and go swinging around the neighbourhood so Y/N couldn't get her pictures).
The surroundings became less built up and more rural. Trees lined the road and there was a house every couple of miles. Nature was something the two of them missed about living in the city. Running through the trees and feeling the forest floor beneath their toes. It was on the list for their road trip.
By the time they got to their destination, the middle of nowhere, the sun had already set and stars were beginning to appear. "Wow," mumbled Peter as he killed the engine. Y/N whistled and climbed into the back of the van to grab a blanket.
Grabbing the food bag, Peter followed Y/N. They locked up the van and laid the blanket down on the grass beside it. At first, the two sat and enjoyed their makeshift dinner.
Eventually, they laid back on the blanket. They took turns pointing up at the stars and searching for constellations. At one point, Y/N had shuffled over and placed her head against Peters shoulder. "This is perfect," she whispered as if not to disturb their night. "It still would've been perfect if we were still on the road."
Peter turned and kissed the top of her head. "You're perfect," he mumbled, his tired eyes barely open.
"You're perfect-er."
Peter laughed and squeezed her shoulder. They grabbed the snack bag and the blanket and made their way into the van for some much needed rest. "I love you," she whispered as they climbed into their sleeping bag, bodies pressed together.
"I love you more."
