What if the spell lifted. What if everything went back to normal, but in the first week, Peter didn't know it.
So peters gone to all the places he usually goes to, that place where MJ works, spotting MJ clutch her uniform as if she's clutching pearls grinning so widely at him it's creepy
"Can I..help you..?" He asked quietly.
Cause he knows how this goes. He knows she won't remember him
MJ paused, giving Peter enough time for him to order himself something and sit back down.
With Ned, it was a nastolgic run.
Peter was doing a morning jog on Neds street, Ned spots him and
Wow when Neds face lights up he nearly thinks it's because of him.
Nearly.
It was probably just about a funny joke he saw on his phone.
So he keeps jogging.
And then with happy, his phone is blowing up from numbers he thought he knew. Thought he remembered.
But it was impossible.
So he went to his apartment, set down the instant ramen clicking on his tv and felt himself want to puke.
"Tony stark. Alive??" The news reporters frantic voice called out through the tv.
It more felt like another hit of hissing pain of what he lost.
Peter quickly rushed to turn it off.
Probably just a lame show about conspiracies.
When he hears a knock against the door beside his flat he opens it too look over and saw happy hogan.
The guy he saw as his uncle once upon a time.
Happy kept glancing at his phone hurriedly and looking back up to the door
"Uh..no one lives there." He said and curse his Peter voice that just kept sounding like it.
Happy's jaw clenched his eyes widening as he spotted Peter.
"Yeah it's been like..empty for years." Was all Peter said with a sharp nod walking out again to the elevator.
And then there was Mays apartment.
He knew happy had gathered all of the stuff may had, and Peter had come here once. A week after the spell. All of his birthday cards that may wrote him. Gone. Every picture he had. Gone. Everything. Every trace of Peter parker
Gone.
So he didn't know why he had come to the apartment. Maybe it was..nastolgia.
From seeing everyone so suddenly?
When he crept into the apartment he knew what he had expected. He had expected the emptiness.
But...that didn't come.
Cause he saw all of Peter parker in the parkers home.
He saw pictures and cards, birthday presents and stuff he had, his workbooks and science projects.
All there.
He didn't know what that meant. So he ran. He ran until his legs gave out.
Till he was standing right Infront of Mays grave
"Sister, wife, aunty, and mother."
He didn't know why he teared up at that.
Mother hadn't been there before.
But that's what may was right? She was Peter's mother in a way.
Peter felt his heart sunk as he felt someone's hand on his shoulder.
He expected what he always expected.
A questioning look.
He always got a questioning look.
But..no. this one was full of love. This one was full of fatherly love.
"Hey, kid."
...
"Dad." It was like a breath of relief.
He didn't know how, when, where, who he didn't care.
Mr stark was Infront of him.
"Am- do they remember? How are you-i-"
"They remember Peter. We remember." Tony said stroking Peter's hair.
Peter just listened. He listened to Tony's heartbeat.
The one he thought had stopped.
