“Shit, shit, shit, shit.” You mumbled to yourself as you hopped from building to building. You promised you would meet your boyfriend, Clay, at the front entrance of your school.
As you were swinging from a fire escape your hand slipped but luckily you caught yourself with a web that was just barely attached to the ledge of the fire escape level above you.
You let out a sigh as you gently swung yourself closer to the building wall. You stuck your hands to the wall and let your web go and started scaling the wall to the top of the fire escape.
At the very top sat your backpack, webbed to the wall for extra measure. You quickly took the jacket you layered over your suit off and pressed the spider on the middle of your chest.
The suit instantly became loose and slipped off your body as you pulled your mask off over your face. Your whole suit was black with white, orange, and yellow accents. It had a hood attached to it and your mask was completely black.
You pulled your backpack out of the mostly dissolved webs and pulled out your clothes.
You slipped everything on and pulled your shoes on, shoving your suit into your backpack. You instantly pulled yourself up and started running down the street towards your school.
You saw a bored, and slightly annoyed, Clay sitting on the steps as other students walked around him. You stopped in your tracks and slowly started to back away, hoping you could make it to the side door to make it look like you were just walking out of the school from class.
You weren’t so lucky though. Clay instantly saw you and smiled at you before his face turned into an accusing one. You laughed at him and waved as you walked over to where Clay was now standing.
“y/n! Where the hell were you? I’ve been sitting here for 10 minutes thinking you were still inside.” He pouted as he pulled you into him, placing his face in the crook of your neck.
You chuckled at him before pushing him off of you.
“The cuddly stuff can wait until we get back to my place, and I was, umm..” You couldn’t think of an excuse. How were you supposed to lie your way out of this one? You usually have one ready.
“Unimportant! But I am really tired and we have a quiz to study for so come on beanstalk.” You said as you grabbed his hand and pulled him down the sidewalk to your apartment building.
“But I don’t wanna study!” He whined. He does this every time but he always ends up enjoying himself afterwards.
-----
“y/n, can we take a break? I wanna cuddle and hang out with you before I have to head home.” Clay said coming up behind you and placing his head on your shoulder.
You were in your office chair so it gave him perfect access to look over your shoulder.
All you did was pet his hair in response, to which he very much enjoyed, and kissed his forehead (which he also enjoyed).
“I mean, yeah. We have been working for quite a bit haven’t we?” You said as you turned around in your chair while checking your alarm clock next to your bed.
“Yup, and I haven’t seen you a lot today after our classes got moved.” He said as he laid down and stretched starfish style across the floor.
You smiled at him before sitting next to his head, prompting him to move to lay it in your lap. You looked down at him as he looked up at you. You laughed a bit as you kissed his lips briefly and played with his hair.
Though your bliss was cut short when your boyfriend’s watch beeped.
“Ugh, damn it. I have to get home or my aunt will kill me.” You frowned at him as he got up to go retrieve his bag from your bed. He looked over at you briefly and gave you a sympathetic smile as he packed the rest of his notebooks.
He zipped up his backpack and swung it over his shoulder as he walked over to you.
He knelt down in front of you and kissed your forehead.
“I love you. See you tomorrow, ok?” He asked, as you nodded. He smiled and pecked your lips one last time before standing up and walking over to your door.
“Bye!” You said as he closed the door.
“Bye!”
…
“OK, up I go” You mumbled to yourself as you got up to walk over to your backpack in the corner of your room.
You pulled out the pieces to your suit and quickly changed. It was your nightly patrol with Spider-Dream. He was your unofficial partner seeing as you’re both variations of a spider hero.
You guys have been working together for a little under a year now so you know each other pretty well. Well, as much as you can without revealing yourselves.
You climb out of your window and onto the fire escape. You sit there in your little spidey pose for a second, just breathing in the air. It’s gonna be a boring night huh?
-----
After hopping back and forth between buildings for about 40 minutes you feel a slight uneasiness in the air. As if someone was watching you.
You turn around and see a small wisp of a shadow hide behind the building edge. Walking closer you peer over the side seeing nothing.
Confused, you hop down from the building and into the alleyway. When you land you do a quick 360 spin to absorb your surroundings.
Seeing nothing you turn around to double back.
“Boo.”
“AHHH” You screamed, webbing whoever was in front of you in the face.
“AGH- web in the face, WEB IN THE FACE!” The mystery person yelled.
Wait a minute-
You watched as the silhouette slowly lowered to the ground, now seeing they were upside down, and dropped when they got close. They frantically messed with and rubbed at their face to get rid of the web you had just shot them with.
“Ugh, this stuff never comes off.” They complained as they got whatever they could off their face.
“Oh come on Dream a simple hello just wasn’t enough for you was it?” You asked as you crossed your arms.
“No. It isn’t. And an apology would be appreciated.” He said, as if he was the victim. You were the one who got scared!
“You say that as if you deserve it.” You said with a small smirk that you knew he couldn’t see so you squinted your eyes, making your suits eyes do the same.
“I do deserve an apology! You scared me last week!” Now he crossed his arms and walked closer to you, sticking his face in yours as a way to emphasize his statement.
You scoffed and walked behind him to attach a web to the top of a building.
“People will be confused if they find heroes fighting in an alleyway. Come on.” You said as you pulled yourself up to the top of the building.
After about 30 minutes of you guys just sitting on the rooftop goofing around, listening for trouble, and starting conversations occasionally, Dream finally asked-
“Hey, are you hungry?”
-----
Dream took you to Delmar’s, talking about it as if you had never even heard of the place, but you let him continue, just for the heck of it.
“Best sandwiches in Queens” He said as you sat down.
You both sat on the roof of Delmar’s, sandwiches in hand, and only the bottom half of your masks lifted so you could eat.
It was harmless. Nobody can tell who you are just from the bottom half of your face right?
Wrong.
When you were about half way done with your sandwich, deciding to save the rest for lunch tomorrow, your eyes drifted over to Dream.
You wanted to get a good look at him knowing this is the first and probably the last time you will get to see even part of his face.
You could see little freckles around his whole face but mostly his nose, and his dirty blonde sideburns, and his pink lips that had mustard on the side of them. That made you snort a bit.
Seeing just these small features made him remind you of someone, but you couldn’t quite place it until you saw the small scar on his jaw.
This made your jaw drop.
Th- they couldn’t really be the same person could they?
You leaned closer only prompting Dream to look at you funny.
“What? Do I have something on my face?” He half-heartedly joked. Only then did his smile fall when he saw your hand raise to his face, he realized really quickly what you were going to do.
“Wait, h/n. No-DON’T!” He yelled but you had already grabbed the hem of the mask and lifted it off of his face.
You both sat there in shock.
It was him. It was Clay in all his dirty blonde glory. Green eyes and all.
You noticed that Drea- Clay’s once shocked face turned angry when he lunged at you. He just thought he caught you off guard and was confused as to why you didn’t fight back until he saw the face underneath the mask he had just pulled off.
“y/n? Wait, you’re h/n?” He asked as he slowly got off of you. He sat back on his knees as you sat up fully.
“And you’re Dream?” You asked with a smirk. Clay sat there for a second rerunning everything that had just gone down. Everything seemed to make sense now.
You both ditching classes at random times. Weird curfews. The stupid exuses.
“So, are we gonna stare or talk about this?” You said breaking his train of thought.
“Neither. I have an idea.” He said as he pulled you up. He grabbed your waist and shot a web at a stoplight.
“Hold on tight.”
-----
“You want me to do what now?” You asked as you stared a giggly Clay in the eyes. He was hanging upside down in his little spider crouch position.
“The Spider Kiss.” He said as he bobbed his head a little.
“It sounds stupid” You said pushing his face away, making him sway.
“OK, 1: don’t do that, it scares me. And 2: all you have to do is stand there and kiss me.” He pouted.
“But it’s upside down!” You complained. He smiled at you and kissed your nose. You looked back at him and softened a little.
“Two seconds”
“Fine”
Let’s just say that kiss lasted way longer than two seconds.
