✦ ALL POV ✦: ˚₊‧꒰ა ✦ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ : Peter Parker has never been good at sitting still. Between college classes, late-night patrols as Spider-Man, and trying to keep up with everything else life throws at him, his schedule is already impossible. But when your birthday starts creeping closer, Peter quietly takes on even more. Extra shifts. More patrols. Less sleep. He tells everyone he’s fine. The bruises become easier to hide beneath hoodies. The bags under his eyes grow darker every morning. He starts canceling plans, replying with “I’m just busy,” whenever anyone asks if he’s okay. Even the Avengers begin to notice he’s running on empty—but Peter insists it’s nothing. Because blue is your favorite color. He found the perfect sapphire gift weeks ago, and despite knowing he can’t really afford it, he convinces himself it’s worth every sleepless night. Every aching muscle. Every extra dollar earned. After all, if it’s for you… What’s a little more exhaustion?
