I would’ve massaged my neck out of instinctive awkwardness and answered her question, stammering, n-nah, I-I wasn’t saying that or whatever, I was just saying I’m still getting use to having this kind of clout—the heroes clout, knahmean?
Instead, she cued a defeated sigh out of me and my hands clasping in mock Spongebob’s prayer and dramatic mid-air slice that stopped in front of the center of my chest, “ You’re never ever—ever, ever, ever—ever, ever, ever going to let me live, are you? ”
Now I understand how my dad feels when Rio doesn’t let live and gives a reminder every second of the way. I know she’s not mad about that situation still—at least I think she’s not. But dang, that time in our life was so embarrassing, I have to find the time to thank god nobody took out their phones and made us a meme. I think!

of course she’d do whatever was necessary to stop him. of course she’d try to protect him, but why should she? peter parker was better than ever. he was… no longer a spider. he was his true potential and there was no need for change. no need to alter what he had become. this was what he was meant to be.
she just didn’t see it that way - no, no one actually did. they believed this to be wrong. to be… something that could be repaired. to be fixed. if peter had his way? he’d never go back - there was nothing to go back too. far too much damage had been done. might as well just enjoy the ride as it lasted.
❝ will you now? my dear, gwen. have you ever thought that maybe this was how i should be? think about it. it’s so much better this way - the pain is still there, but so much better now. i stopped resisting the changes.. i stoped denying who i was. i stopped being spider-man to become someone much greater. i became... the goblin. ❞

peter wanted to say that he was careful. that he was always careful, but the problem was that he wasn’t. he never was careful - not even when he slaughtered the vulture in cold blood in an attempt to save aunt may. he thought… he thought he was doing the right thing then ( maybe he was ) but he knew deep down he should have let him kill her. that way… his own revenge would have been far more sweeter. far more… enjoyable.
❝ oh, you don’t need to worry about me, ❞ he mused, smirk forming under his mask, ❝ i have everything under complete control. you’re welcome to watch the show, but… most spider’s are against what i’m about to do. ❞

he voiced time and time again he didn’t want to be cured. that he didn’t want to change back to how weak he was. the goblin was exactly what he needed to be. what he was now - why should one opt to change perfection? there was simply no need for it. no… want for such a thing to occur. not unless it was absolutely necessary
❝ peter? peter isn’t here right now. sorry. only the goblin remains and the goblin? the goblin is going to own this town. the goblin will tear it all down and rebuild it in his image. you? you just… are along for the ride. ❞ he wanted her at his side. he wanted her to be with him, but her words? her words of hatred of scorn? of trying to fix him? it just made him angry... very angry.
❝ resist if you want. it doesn’t matter - nothing will soon enough. just you and me. the city in ruins and perhaps you’ll experience this clarity i have as well. ❞ that was... if he thought she deserved it. at the rate she was going? she did not.

peter wanted this to be his choice. wanted to chose with out a doubt the best option. the formula had changed him so much; the pain was worth it in the end. the numbness, the mania - the risks - it all came with the package.
oh, he enjoyed every moment of it. he wanted it to go on forever. the freedom... the absolute joy in himself. no more responsibility, no more worry, and better yet? he was free to do as he pleased.
the goblin... the only one that mattered anymore. that was who he was. that was who he wanted to be. someone worth while... someone who didn’t worry about fear or pain. someone that... he’d enjoy being.
now? now that was being threatened and even as he leaned into her hand... he wasn’t going to let it go. not if he could help it. not if he had a choice - it was his choice, right?
❝ gwen, ❞ he muttered out lowly, almost trying to sooth her, ❝ can’t i stay like this a little longer? please? i like it. i... enjoy it so much. can’t you tell this is what’s best for me? what’s best.. for everyone? no more playing the spider. just me... just, ❞ his eyes narrowed slightly, a grin spreading across his lips, ❝ peter parker...the goblin. ❞

the goblin leaned into her hand, letting loose a slight purring sound. it was nice. it was... comforting. a change to the constant prickling he felt on his flesh. smoothing comfort was something he rarely obtained these days.
for a moment he never wanted it to end.he never wanted her to stop touching him, but when she mentioned him being sick... that was when it was changing him? that’s when his eyes narrowed and he yanked himself away from her - cutting off eye contact.
❝ you can help me by leaving me alone. you can help me by ensuring i get what i need. no cures... no trying to change me back. i want this. i need this - don’t you see? this is me... this is what i’ve always wanted. if you take that way... if you force me to take it... i’ll never forgive you. ❞ a lie, he could, and most likely would - just not anytime soon. not if he had any say in it.
@hopehold xxx
the goblin leaned into her touch. it had been so long since anyone chose to be near him like this. so long since anyone had truthfully wanted to give him the time of day. usually, it was just talk about curing him, or putting him behind bars. he wanted - no, he needed this.
the only problem was he was so sick due to it. with out the formula, he would die; it had gotten past the point of no return so long ago. he’d forgotten what it was like with out it. forgotten just what it was like to not be dependent on it all the time - maybe that was where all his problems started.
❝ for me? you’ll do that? ❞ he asked, rubbing at his nose with a gloved had a second later. he wanted to ask more, about just what she’d do, but instead, his attention shifted towards the prospect of having fun as he crouched down on his own glider.
a thought occurred to him that he missed the days of swinging around, but it was soon snuffed out as he flashed a half-grin at her. ❝ — what sort of fun do you have in mind? ❞
