It was frustrating being friends with Peter sometimes. Especially lately. Ever since that Stark Internship- it had basically taken over his life. You hated to admit that you were jealous of Tony Stark for taking Peter away from you. Lately, you had been feeling neglected by Peter...
45 minutes ago. Peter was meant to meet you at his apartment 45 minutes ago. You’d waited there; May had let you in, and with a sad, pitying look said that Peter wasn’t here, but would probably be here. Soon. It wasn’t soon. Far from it. You were so annoyed, but mostly sad; maybe Peter didn’t want you around anymore.
You had just walked out of Peter room when you heard a noise. As quickly as you could, you turned around, but you found the door already shut.
“Peter?” you asked, “Is that you in there?”
“Let me in! Where have you been? If I wasn’t so worried, I’d be mad right now!” you yelled through the door.
Peter, who had just climbed through the window, was now in a panic in his room. You were outside, impatiently asking him to open the door. But, he couldn’t; he was still dressed in the suit.
“I- I will. Give me a second.”
“Peter, I’ve given you nearly an hour!” you huffed, “Stop shutting me out!”
You sighed, as you heard Peter fumbling to make an excuse.
“You know what? Don’t worry about it, Peter,” you muttered, “I’ll see you in school. Bye.”
Peter was even more distressed; he heard the disappointment in your voice. It hurt that he had done that to you. He had kept you waiting, and he felt awful; Spiderman had gotten in the way of your friendship, and he’d push you aside.
“Wait! Please!” Peter said, rushing out of his door, still in his suit but without the mask.
“-I’m Spiderman. I’m Spiderman and I’m sorry for keeping you waiting because of it,” Peter confessed, “I’m so sorry, Y/N. Please don’t leave.”
“Oh fuck- this is so... This is so cool!”
“You’re not mad?” Peter asked, surprised.
“A little... but, I’m sure you’ll think about a way to make it up to me. And, now I get to say Spiderman is my best friend,” you smile.
