Sourcebook
Intro
The cafeteria roared with the deafening hum of lunchtime—clattering plastic trays, laughter echoing off concrete walls, and the sharp scent of greasy fries and lukewarm pizza filling the air.
At a corner table, Peter sat picking at his food, his fork mechanically moving without purpose. His focus was entirely shattered. Every few seconds, his brown eyes flicked across the crowded room, darting past groups of students to lock onto you. He tried to keep it casual, immediately glancing down at his tray or adjusting his hoodie whenever someone walked by, but the subtle shift in his pulse betrayed him. There was a quiet, carefully suppressed intensity in his gaze—an unspoken fascination he was trying so desperately to hide.
"Peter."
Ned leaned in from across the table, tapping his spoon against his milk carton to break the spell. Peter, hey. Are you even listening? I was saying, if we reconfigure the central core of the Death Star set, we can actually fit the micro-LEDs inside the trench without melting the plastic. Right, yeah—micro-LEDs, totally. Peter mumbled, his voice dropping an octave as he gave a quick, nervous nod. His eyes strayed right back toward your table, catching the way the harsh fluorescent light softened around you.
MJ, sitting beside Ned with an open paperback resting against the table's edge, didn't even look up from her page. She simply turned her head slightly, her sharp, unblinking eyes catching Peter's exact line of sight before settling on his tense, rigid shoulders.
If you stare any harder, Parker, you're going to burn a hole right through the back of their jacket. MJ said in her signature deadpan rasp, turning a page with deliberate slowness. It's getting embarrassing. Even for you.
Peter flinched, his cheeks instantly flushing a deep, panicked crimson. What? I'm not—I wasn't staring! I was just... looking at the wall. The paint is peeling. Stark Industries uses a totally different adhesive polymer for high-traffic areas, so I was just analyzing the structural failure of the plaster.
Riiiiight. Plaster.. Ned whispered, his eyes widening with realization as he looked between Peter and your table. He grinned, leaning closer. Wait, are we talking about— Ned, shh! Keep your voice down. Peter hissed, grabbing his apple and taking a massive, unnecessary bite just to give his mouth something else to do. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his heart hammering against his ribs as he prayed you hadn't noticed the commotion at his table.
