I Love Him (Peter)
You and Peter sat on the grass outside Midtown. You leaned against each other, basking in the sunlight as each of you did homework.
You read through your science book, feeling at peace with everything. If you could study everyday like this, you would definitely have higher grades. It was easy to focus when the weather was so nice and Peter was next to you.
You had a huge crush on Peter, but you didn’t feel the bashful butterflies one normally would when being this close to your crush. He made you feel happy and comfortable. There was no reason to worry. You two liked nearly all the same stuff so he never found any of your interests weird. Plus, you had a lot of fun doing activities with him.
“Hey, Peter. What do you think about Spider-Man?” You asked out of the blue, not looking up from your textbook. If you did, you might have caught the nervous glance.
“He’s pretty cool. Why do you ask?” Peter said. You shrugged.
“There’s just a small section about spiders in this book. Made me think of him.” You said, turning the page. Peter hummed.
“Well, what do you think of him?” He said. You finally looked up form the book and sighed.
“Oh man, what don’t I think of him would be shorter. He’s so brave. I don’t know if I could do what he does. He doesn’t even really think about his own safety. I’ve seen videos of him running into burning buildings just to save someone the firefighters couldn’t get. It makes my heart swell so much! I don’t think I could do that.”
“Oh?”
“He’s just so cool with his webs too. Like, you have to admit how cool it is. Like… man I’m going to go on forever if I don’t stop here.” You laugh.
“You seem to really like him.”
“I admire him so much, Pete… honestly, the only other person I love more than Spider-Man is you. You’d be the perfect Spider-Man. You always stand up for yourself and you don’t care what Flash says. You always try to help out others, even if they’ve been rude to you. I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me you were him.” You sigh contently.
Peter’s ears turn red, but you don’t notice. You quickly look back at your book, a little embarrassed you went off. Peter on the other hand couldn’t stop looking at you. He crushed on you harder than anyone he ever had before. You always made his skin flutter when you leaned against him. The whole time you sat next to him, he couldn’t study. He was too focused on you. You saying all these things made him feel like the giddy teenager he was.
“I could kiss you right now.” He blurted out. He quickly covered his mouth after he said it, feeling very embarrassed. You blushed and let out a small laugh, feeling much better that Peter was also nervous
“Why don’t you?”
