Ever since he saw you he knew he liked you. He had a crush. No it was no crush he felt like it was more. And when you got a boyfriend he felt heartbroken and felt like he had to move on. He never had the courage to tell you how he felt espically not after you had your boyfriend. Or maybe because you two were best friends and he didn’t want to ruin that. He saw that you were happy and he couldn’t be the one to ruin that. He just had to see you with someone else even if it hurt him.
Ned would always tell him to tell you how he felt always. But Peter couldn’t. He would try and sometimes he would get that courage espically after you were not with your boyfriend but he then remembered something. Something that was part of his life something that could get in the way. Spider-Man. Him being Spider-Man got in the way. He didn’t want to put you in danger. Or have you questioning yourself everytime he wouldn’t make it to a date. His super hero life put him in danger and it could put you in danger.
Even now him not telling you that he was Spider-Man made you two not be as close as you once were. And maybe it was for the best he didn’t want to see you hurt or in danger. And he couldn’t live with himself if he saw something horrible happen to you because of his fault.

(Y/N)
The air seemed cleaner from higher off the ground more crisp and more fresh then from down the streets in New York. Being so high off the ground also was more peaceful. You could still hear the busy streets down below but only if you were low enough. These were the perks of being a so called ‘hero’ and having powers you can come up to places where you’re normally not or can’t go on. Helping people out is another plus.
A thing that you do hate that’s comes with being a hero is that you have to hide your identity and not tell anyone. Ever since you really used your powers you started going out to help those in need and it’s been hard. Not the helping out part but the part where you have to keep it a secret. Your best friends Peter and Ned aren’t as close because of it. You hate it but it’s something you have to do?
The thing that you also hate is that relationships. You feel like you can’t have a relationship with someone you like because you don’t want to put them or more like him in danger. You have people that don’t like you and if they were to find out who you really were and that could happen any time. Then that would put him in danger. And you wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to him.
That’s why you can’t really tell him how you feel. You can’t expose him like that. You can’t have secrets with him even if you do now. But you’re not dating or anything romantic at all so keeping a secret now that he’s your best friend is better then if you were ever to date him. You really want to tell him how you feel you really do but that’s what stops you from telling Peter Parker. Being his best friend and having a secret that could risk his life.
Also him not feeling the same about you stops you. If you were to tell him how you felt and he didn’t feel the same way then it could ruin everything. You try to tell yourself that it wouldn’t but it would. You’ve been friends since you were young and you’ve liked him since you were young too. Even if you were brave out in the streets you aren’t brave enough in front of him. And when you were he was with Liz. Sometimes in your low moments you wished that you didn’t have what you were born with. Your powers.

“Okay there’s one in the east part of the building and three in the south.” You say to yourself. Something you always do when you’re out under the mask. You triple scan the building for any more people just to check out and make sure no one is there to surprise you. You go down and stay hidden in the shadows. You see the two people in the east and use your powers to knock them out without making a big deal. You keep moving and try to find what they had hidden and what you’re trying to keep their hands off. Often times you try not to mix yourself in big missions like these because of what could happen because its just you alone but sometimes you didn’t care and risked it.
You quickly hide yourself behind a huge box after you heard someone come. You barely make it behind the box before the women with a huge gun walks by. You take a deep breath and walk through the door. But as you do someone suprises you and pulls you back. You fight to be let go. You kick them but it seems like it doesn’t affect them. You try to raise your hand up to their hand but they have you pinned down. You keep moving around and you hear her call for back up. At that moment you elbow her and grab her head and use your powers to make her see something that isn’t there. Her eyes go wide and she spaces out going to what’s not there.
As you’re about to keep moving you see the back up the women called. They have you surrounded. You look around at them as they have their guns up and pointing them at you. You raise your hands pretending to surrender but as you do you make them see something a illusion. Using your power on so many people is a strain on you. It makes you weak but you have to do it or else they kill you. You keep your hand up as you keeping moving out. You knock them out and they all fall to the ground. You keep trying to look for the weapon they were here for and as you do of course there’s more people.
“Really?” You ask as you roll your eyes behind your mask. They run to you with their guns out and they begin to shoot. You’re about to use your power but two of the womenthat were shooting at you were swooped up to the cieling. You look up and see the one and only Spider-Man. It seems that he meets your eye but you’re not sure because of his mask. You wave at him and he waves back before he keeps moving. You try to keep up with him but it seems that he’s fast at crawling on the ceiling. You enter the room he went in and as you do you’re sent back with a big force and making everything go black.
When you wake up you don’t know what time it is or where exactly you are. Theirs rubble and dust everywhere making your eyes watery and go into a cough fit. You check yourself for any injuries but you don’t have any just you’re new forming bruise on your back now. You pick yourself up and pat off some of the dust. You hear the sound of a distant siren making you realize of someone else who was here. Spider man. In a quick pace you make your way to where you saw him go in last. You look around and see the very weapon you were here to save was in pieces. Their were some of the people that were here to take them on the ground. You ignore them and go and try find Spider-Man.
You hear the sirens get closer so you pick up your pace to try and find Spider-Man faster. You finally see his red suit and it seemed that he was under rubble. You ran over to him and shake him a little to see if he would wake up but he was unconscious. You lift the rubble as best you can before struggling to get him out. You try and pick him up but he’s a bit to heavy and somehow you manage to get him up. You wrap your arms around him and as you do you realize that he’s much smaller person then he appears in the news. You begin to drag him somewhere you could help him out in secret without the police trying to arrest the both of you.
You make it an alleyway far apart from the building and sit him down. You feel sweat go down your forehead so you take off your mask. You didn’t really care if Spider-Man woke up right now and saw your face. You knew about him enough to trust him. After all he does fight along Iron man.
You grab some alcohol and bandages from your bag that you always carry when you’re out and about trying to help out the city and people. You clean his wound that’s above his waist. You move on to his wound that’s just above his jawline. As you’re about to clean his big gash you then begin to freak out mentally because you’re here helping Spider-Man even if he didn’t know you were. As youre about to put alcohol on his wound it seemed that did something because he flinched and moved making him fall to the ground on his side.
“Woah woah woah.” He began to say as he put his hands on the outline of his mask. You back up and put your hands up. He probably thought you were trying to see who he was but you weren’t.
“Hey Hey I’m just cleaning your wound! I’m just helping out! Promise.” You have your hands up and you heard him gasp loudly under his mask. He backed up and stayed quiet. “I was the one also trying to stop them you saw me and you helped me out! Promise I’m not trying to see who you were Just simply helping out.” You ramble on. Something you do when nervous.
He gets up slowly his hands going to his wound. You hear him wince and you’re about to help him but he moves his hand to his neck and to the lining of his mask. You move forward and put your hand on his.
“You don’t have to do that if you don’t want to I can live without knowing.” You tell him as you move your hand to your side. That doesn’t stop him though because he pulls his mask off slowly. He winced again as he was taking it off because of the his gash on his face. You shuffle where you stand akwardly not knowing what to do as he took it off. But as he completely took off his mask and he revealed his face your eyes went wide and you gasped and moved your hand up to your mouth. You take a step back as you saw who it was.
“Peter.” You whisper.
“Hey.” He says in a soft voice. You don’t know what to say at first but then everything starts to make since. All those times he was late to school or didn’t make it to those days where you wanted to hangout with just him, and Ned. That time where he missed school and came back with a bruise. He was with iron man.
“You’re Spider-Man... makes since.” You say still in a quiet voice. “Well I’m you know now Uhmm well the Physic angel or whatever don’t really like the name but you know I—- I’ll just stop now.... Hi peter.” You keep rambling on not knowing what to say to him but you think maybe a sorry should work.
“Look I’m so—-“ you both start saying a the same time before realizing it and stopping it. You signaled him to go first he hesitated wanting you talk first but he continued on.
“I’m sorry for not telling you before I just didn’t want to.... put you in danger.... I wanted to I really did but I didn’t want to risk it and then if something happened because I did then I don’t think I could live with myself.” He explained as he scratched the back of his head. You smiled at him and grabbed his shoulder.
“It’s fine peter I understand I did the same thing. I hid my other part of my life and distanced myself for the same reason I’m sorry.” He looked up to you finally meeting your gaze. He smiled as he saw your smile but his seemed like a shy smile. His smile made you feel butterflies in your stomach him just being her made you feel like your heart was beating faster in your chest. He looked down at again and rubbed the back of his neck. He stepped back and seemed to be struggling with something.
“You okay peter?” You ask reaching out for him with your hand. He looked up to you and got close again but this time closer than before.
“I was just thinking of how right now I could’ve died and—“
“But you didn’t you’re fine Peter don’t say that.” You inturrupt him.
“I know but I still could’ve and I would’ve died without letting you know something.....I’m sorry it has to be here and now but I can’t hide it anymore...y/n I..... I-I really li-like y-you like more then friends and I have for a long time I just never had the nerves to tell ac-“ he keeps rambling on but you inturrpet him with a kiss. He seemed suprised by the sudden action but he then melted into the kiss and put his hand on your cheek. The kiss felt like fireworks went off. It felt great and right like you were missing apart of something. He pulled apart but his faces was still inches from yours.
“I would understand you know if you don’t want to date you know because of what we do. Of who we are.... I know it’s not easy and I would understand.” He said makind you giggle. A blush crept onto his face and he seemed confused on why you were laughing.
“Peter if that kiss didn’t tell you that I liked you and wanted to be with you then maybe I can show you again but peter I like you too. I have for a while too. And you know us having another identity and doing hero stuff shouldn’t matter and I just realized that. We’re just ordinary people who deserve to do ordinary people stuff and not let our hero stuff get in the way.” You tell him causing him to smile. “We’re just ordianry people.”
