Beneath the Moonless Sky (WIP)

Note: this is 616 Peter and Elektra. Not the MCU

��He's so stubborn, and self-righteous. Must do everything by his morals and rules.” Spider-Man grips the edge of the mattress as she speaks. Looking out the window while he scowled at the cold night sky. “He's only Catholic when it's convenient.” She says aloud to add to the book of complaints against Matt Murdock. 

A man they both loved.

“He's a hypocrite! He gets mad at me when I do something he one hundred percent would’ve done.”

“It's like he sees himself better than the rest of us.”

“Or he puts you on a pedestal then gets mad when he realizes you're not perfect.” 

Elektra makes a contemplative noise. Remembering Matt praying at the edge of their bed. I pray that Peter will forgive me. 

“I hated his beard.” She said unprovoked.

“I hate how he keeps lying to me.”

“I hate how he never sees how I change. Like he's keeping track of all my sins.” Elektra gets up from the bed as Spider-Man - Peter - looks at her.

“Matt has the worst fashion tastes.”

“He used to force me to go antiquing with him and it was so boring.”

“What? Ugh! I thought that was our thing! I can't believe him!” Peter threw his hands in the air in frustration.

“He sometimes smells like old books and lotion and it reminds me of an old man.”

“I wanna punch him in the face sometimes. Just to make him less pretty.” 

“Sometimes I wanna strangle him when he starts moralizing.” Elektra looked at her hand ls as they curled. Imagining the feeling of Matt's neck crushed against her finger tips.

“He’s used me as bait multiple times! And every time I get hurt!”

“He's selfish!” Elektra yells. Anger building and she can see it in Peter's eyes as well. Resentment and rage for the same man.

A man they both loved. 

But not at that moment.

“He's condescending!” Elektra yells as she stares at Peter. As if he's a mirror reflecting that anger back at her.

“He always has to be in the right!” Peter yells.

“He cheated on me! Then have the gall to ask for my loyalty!”

“He slept with my ex he knew I still had feelings for!”

“He only loves me when life is too good for him. Then runs when things get too violent for him.”

“Just once. Just once I want to ignore him! Not help him. But I do it every time.”

“Matthew Murdock is a fucking piece of shit!” They scream in unison.

It's that moment she realized they've been moving closer to each other.  For a few moments, it was just them. Elektra and Peter. Nothing outside their naked bodies, their heavy breathing, and shared rage.

The world outside that bed didn't matter.

Matthew didn't matter.

Suddenly. They were a man and a woman. No more. No less.

What is up with you and Elektra and Peter?

Idk.

Sometimes you remember that Matt and Felicia hooked up (good for them. Good for them) and think "Okay but imagine if Peter slept with one of Matt's ex's as a response to that. Would he even have a right to be mad?"

But what if it was sexy and angsty ya know?

Also I think it would be a huge disaster.
