In the beginning, he had struggled to understand why bad things kept happening to him. His parents, Ben- oh god, May…
(“How do you live with yourself after all that you’ve done? After you’ve driven your whole family to death?”)
It wasn’t long until he was forced to come to the conclusion that it was him that was the problem.
(“You should rid the world of your curse before someone else ends up dead.”)
And it hurt, and he felt himself drifting closer and closer to agreeing with Flash every day— but he was selfish, and ignorant, and so, so, weak. He wanted so badly to protect the ones he loved from harm after all that he had lost, but God dammit he was happy and he had a family and he loved them so much that he just couldn’t bring himself to leave.
(“Everyone would be better off without you.”)
He swallowed the lump in his throat.
“I uh… I fell down the stairs.”

If Peter's an idiot for not telling anyone he's feeling a little under the weather (an understatement of the century), the Avengers must be pretty damn stupid for not realizing that Peter's spiraling mood is more than some "teen angst."

Flash Thompson is a dickhead.
Everyone knows it, yet somehow Peter is the one that always gets called Penis. Everyone always laughs at Flash’s jokes about Peter, takes his side over Peter’s, likes him better than Peter. And if Flash Thompson is a dickhead and no one really likes him…
Surely one can imagine where that leaves Peter.

It’s okay,” Peter promises them softly. “I get it. I wouldn’t want me as a teammate either. It’s okay, I know what you need to do. I get it.”
Natasha’s eyes narrow, and she asks him, “And what do you think we need to do, Peter?” like it’s a threat. Like if he says the wrong thing, she’ll pounce. But he knows the answer to this question and god, they’re going to make him spell it out for them, aren’t they?
“You need to kick me off the team.”

Peter breaks three toes and hits his head hard against concrete. There’s a steadily bleeding wound in his side that he’s staunched with his webbing and tries not to acknowledge it when it burns.
He can still walk in a straight line, which is good.
He’s starving and tired and cold.

Peter never wanted this. He didn’t ask for the entire team to breathe down his neck whenever he eats, or to insist that he reaches some absurd goal weight when he’s perfectly fine where he’s at. He doesn’t need to change.
He just needs to stop day dreaming about killing himself. It’s getting distracting.
