Chapter Text
"Peter" you immediately reply
Peter recoils as if you just slapped him. His brain was spinning; two of his biggest secrets just got revealed to you. “Uh-uhm.. How do you know I’m spiderman..” Peter says obviously embarrassed of what he confessed to a moment ago.
“Found this in your jacket..” You say showing him the mask he left in the jacket’s pocket
Peter sits down on the bench placing a hand over his eyebrow.
"Are.. you mad?" he asks you quietly.
“N-no what? Why would i be mad?” You comfort him while sitting next to him on the bench.
Peter looks up; staring at your face. “I-I don’t know.. probably because I didn’t tell you soon enough.. Or I didn’t tell you at all. But if it helps you’re the first person to know” He stumbles on his words. “It’s fine Petey, I haven’t been treating you well recently” You smile placing a hand on his arm. “You know, you being spiderman makes a lot of sense now”
“Yeah? how”
“This whole night. Don’t take this the wrong way but, when you caught me from my roof, and you even climbing up to it from the waterspout was kinda obvious” You say recalling the signs.
"Can I trust you..?" he asks you seriously.
you look up at him; his eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Of-of course i’ll never tell anyone i promise.” You reassure him. “I swear” you say holding a pinky up. Peter lets out a watery laugh before accepting the pinky promise.
You reach out, gently wiping a tears that are falling down his cheek. “I’ve never seen you cry .. well not since elementary school” You laugh trying to make him feel better. Peter doesn’t respond; his head still facing the ground.
“Petey, about what you said earlier-”
”I know I know, you don’t feel the same way..God what was I thinking” He interrupts you.
You move his cheek so his face is inched closer to yours before pressing a kiss on his lips.
“I love you" you murmur under your breath.
Your first kiss with him was soft, tentative, and the most romantic you’ve ever felt with anyone.
Peter stands up wiping his tears with his forearms. "W-Wo..wow uh.. Do I take you home as Peter or Spidey?" he jokes
You laugh at his corny joke "How about i give you your mask back and you take me home as both…but i keep the jacket” You say standing up to hold his hand.
“Fine, you look better in it anyways” He says taking the mask from your hand.
