Gayatri wasn't Pavitr's Gwen
That's something Pavitr always knew...ok maybe not always but there was something deep down, like some kind of second tipe of spider-senses that told him that this wasn't right?
He pushed it away of course, he was in love after all...was he?...Yea of course he was, Gayatri was a beautiful, brave and intelligent person! She was the perfect girl!
He had to be in love with her, just like she was in love with him!
Then he met Hobie, and his vision on the world changed. He didn't felt butterflies in his stomach, he felt mosquitos biting every inch of his organs, sucking and sucking every drop of blood he had, it was painful but...also beautiful?
He didn't know what was it, he just knew it was a strange feeling that needed to be buried deep inside his heart
"Yo' nee' to watch out for yo' girl" Hobie was in his room, more specifically on Pavitr's bed while the Indian boy was doing his homeworks for the next day
Pav stopped and look at him with confusion "What?"
"Yo' girl, Gayatri. Yo' nee' to look out fo' 'er"
"And why is that?" "She's yo' Gwen Pav. Most of the time...Gwen Stacy com's to a bad en'. So try to keep 'n eye on 'er, k?"
Pav never thought about it, like never. It was...terrifying... "Yea...thanks for the warning..."
After that he kept two eyes on her, making sure they didn't go on rooftops, and following her going home after school, just trying to keep her safe
But something was telling him she wasn't the one to keep his eyes on, it was someone else, he just didn't know who. So he just ignore it and focus on Gayatri
.

One night he was on top of the British Museum with Hobie, they were talking, eating some sev and banana chips, drinking some chai Pav brought from home and laughing at jokes or stories they were telling each other
Pavitr allways felt so happy when Hobie was around, he felt complete, full we could say. He never felt like this with anyone, not even Gayatri...
But tonight something was bothering Pavitr for all the time, this tickling sensation, like when you had to sneeze but it didn't come out
When they finished eating Hobie said he had to come back to his earth, but Pavitr insisted on making him sleep with him
"Sleepin: with you...?" Hobie smirked looking at him with a teasing expression
"Yea I-" then he realized how bad it sounded "I MEAN ON MY EARTH! You could sleep on my earth. On my bed and I could sleep on the couch or something, we'll see after we'll get there! What do you think?"
Hobie tried to disagree "Well-" but Pavitr immidiatly shut him up putting a finger on his lips "It was a retorical question, your coming and that's it"
Hobie knew that it was impossible to argue with Pavitr, and he wouldn't have minded having a warm place to sleep in.
"a'right...let's get goin' then"
When the got up from the place something made Pavitr spider senses going off and without wanting, he surround Hobie’s waist with his webs
"...Uhhhh,Pav? I'm no' goin' to fall. Y'know, sticky feet and stuff" Hobie and Pavitr looked at each other for some minutes
Pavitr was embarrassed and immidiatly started to apologize, but Hobie just turned them down saying that there was nothing to apologize for. They both left the Museum(with Hobie telling that they could have take some things back from it, and Pavitr responding with a "Maybe another day") and went to Pavitr's house, changed and...
"I told you you can sleep on the bed an I'll sleep on the couch! It's just one night I can handle it!"
...arguing for at least 20 minutes about who needed to sleep where, before they both ended up in the same bed, with Hobie hugging Pavitr from behind and Pavitr curling in his arms
It was nice...very nice...Pavitr felt relaxed, happy even.
The next morning you woke up alone in bed, it wasn't a school day so he got to sleep until 10am, and he felt kinda bad not seeing Hobie
"Well...maybe he had things to do..." he thought to himself
Then he heard some rumors in the kitchen and went there, ready to greet his aunt...just to see Hobie cooking
Still here, he's still here
Something reassured him, why should something reassured him?
"So you can cook huh? Never told me that"
Pavitr leaned against the door frame looking at Hobie with a smirk on his face
Hobie turned to look towards the voice, and with a smile said
"Well I kno' how to ussa stov'! I ain't tha' stewpid" (I'm so sorry I had to write it)
"Oh I know, that's why I would love eating your burn...whatever it is"
"Wha' burn...HOLY SHI-" Hobie put his hands through haircrying about the burned and uneatable (idk if it's a real word but whatever) breakfast, meanwhile Pavitr could only laugh about the comic situation
He cooked the breakfast...well more like brunch at this point, for both of them after cleaning the mess (it wasn' tha' much of a mess)(yes bro it was!) and eat while making small talks about the weather, political problems and jokingly planning to rob the British Museum (in a frighteningly accurate way)
It was...perfect for Pavitr, he wanted to make this moment last forever...but of course good things never last. Hobie watch was blipping, Miguel needed him for a mission
"Well, tha' was good until it last'd, see you around Pav" Hobie got up holding his first up for a bump, but was taken by surprise when he felt two strong harms around him
"Be safe" was all Pavitr could say with his head on the tallest's chest, not seeing Hobie smiling softly at him
"Yea yea whateve' yo' cheesy bastard" He responded ruffling his friend's hair...which surprisingly didn't mind but actually enjoyed, it only felt right when Hobie was the one touching his hair
The pulled apart, they didn't want to but the blip of the watch became more loud and annoying
"See yo' late' lad"
"Later bro"
.

It didn't felt right, something was wrong something was absolutely wrong, but Pav didn't know what. It happens every time Hobie goes in a mission, whenever Pav was with him or not
Whenever he was swinging, or walking on walls of buildings, or just sat at the edge of roofs (sometimes his window when Hobie sat there when he visited)
Pavitr's senses went off, like really off! Like he was about to die, he knows Hobie cannot die from walking on walls, but there was always something telling him to catch him before it was too late
He ignored them at first, because,for him, it was stupid and didn't make any sense, but during time he started to be more vigilant around him, ready to protect him if something went wrong, or there was danger somewhere, always trying to get Miguel to send them at the same missions or convince him to send himself go instead of Hobie
He even started to worry more about Hobie than Gayatri even stopped to follow her home to spend more time with him.
Why are you with her!? You're supposed to be with him! He could be hurt right now, maybe he's in trouble in his earth, maybe he's dying because you weren't there to protect him! GO. TO. HIM.
She was upset about her boyfriend always thinking about another, and talking about another, every. single. day. But she wasn't stupid of course, even she could see how Pavitr's eyes glow when he's talking about the other one, how much his smiles grow and body become more relaxed and fluid
He wasn't in love of course, not yet at least. But he didn't noticed about his feelings for this...Hobie were changing, she never met him in person but from what Pavitr told her, he sounded like a good guy, she could trust him with Pavitr...
She just wanted to enjoy the boy for a little more, maybe a month or so. He didn't like her as much as he did before, maybe he never did in that sense, but Pavitr had this...aura that made people feel better about everything, even Gayatri.
She enjoyed the time they passed together, even if it got shorter time by time, cuddling, joking with each other, kissing...she wanted that for a little more,just that, then she'll leave him in the nicest way possible
She knows that they are still going to be friends after this, they had a good friendship going on even before they got together, so she's not worry about that
Just a little more

Miles Morales, the new guy stopped his canon event. It was supposed to be bad, like, very very bad...but nothing really happened?? Uhu?
And belive him when he said that Miguel was going crazy about it
"HOW IS THIS POSIBLE?! HIS TIERRA WAS SUPPOSED TO COLLAPSE!" He's been. doing this for hours, just non stopping swearing, walking in circle and swearing again. Lyla was there, trying to calm him down
After a while of watching the man, Pavitr began to speak "Maybe that wasn't one of mine canon events! Or it wasn't supposed to be so early? Or" he immidiatly shut down at the stare of the the oldest spider
"Yes! It was! It was supposed to be one of them!" Miguel yelled without even watching at him, now focusing only on the orange screens "It was supposed to happen that day! At that exact moment! And-!...and...it changed..?"
Miguel wispered the last part, but it was loud enough to be heard from Pavitr
"Exuse me did u said changed?"
"Yes, it...it changed...your canon even of the chief dying is...is just gone...and the other one too..." He frowned, shocked at the revelation of...
Pavitr couldn't see really see it from his angulation, but it sounded from his voice that "the other one" that changed, whatever it is, made the big boss shocked, but like not angry shocked as usual , more like, sad shocked! Which is weird and unusual, and made Pavitr curios
"Aaaaand what changed? To be more precise?" Pavitr tried to ask Miguel, yet knowing that it certainly wouldn't work, but worth the shot right?
Miguel slowly turned towards him, and Pavitr, for the first time since he met the man, saw him with a motified expression
And instead of yelling at him saying "Noooo I can't tell you!!! Or you'll try to stop itttt!! Blablablaaaaa" He said "I'm sorry Prabhakar, just remember it's not your fault... And I'm doing this for your own good"
Pavitr looked at him with a confused expression "This what?" Then an orange light appeard behind him. He didn't have the time to react when he felt a large hand on his wirst, snapping the watch away and another one pushing him in the portal
Next thing he knows he's in his house without his watch, and going absolutely crazy
"...WHAT THE FUCK?!" He yelled before shutting his mouth with his hands, worries that him aunt might have been home at this hour, and she finding out his identity was not on his bucket list for now
For the next weeks Pavitr tried to build his own watch, but he didn't have the right technology and time to do it, he still had school and villains from his earth to beat down.
He started to lose hope, he resigned to the fact that he'd never see his friends again, especially Hobie...to be honest there were times where he thought he was doing all of that just to see Hobie again, just to hear his voice again, or watch him play his guitar or performing in his universe...to hug him, to kiss him,
In this few weeks Pavitr (finally) realized his feelings for Hobie, he realized that his feelings for Gayatri weren't so romantic as he thought, he realized he wanted to see Hobie again, and he will do every necessary to do so
But the hardest part was find a way to tell his girlfriend he wanted to break up...bu lucky for him she did all the job, and he took that very well and
"WAIT YOU KNEW?!" Pav asked (calmly) horrified
Ok maybe not THAT well
"Of course I knew, maybe you can" read people" but I can recognize love when I see it, and this -she pointed him then herself- isn't really love...im sorry Pav"
"Nonono!!! I should be the sorry one!!" he tried to reassure her, and put his hands on his face blushing a little" I just...can't belive you figurite out before me,that's a little embarrassing" he wined, listening to his ex girlfriend laugh
Then she stopped, and a comfortable silence surrounded them
"How...how did you know...that...you know"
"It was kinda obvious actually, you seemed happier when talking about him, an you do that a LOT" Before Pavitr could say something else she shushed him
"Yes you do Pav, every five minute you're like ''Hobie's so cool!! Hobie is the best! You should have seen Hobie today, he fought those co- I mean bullies into mud!!''
Hobie this, Hobie that ecc ecc
You sound so obsess by him really!"
Pavitr could only look away and blus like crazy
They went home then, both single, both feeling like a big weight just dissappeared from their chests
Life went on, and both knew that nothing would really changed between the two, they just went from couple to friends
.

Pav was in his room, doing his homeworks. It's been weeks since he tried to find a way to come back, building watches on watches. He tried, he really did, he tried, and tried, and tried. But he failed, every single time, with every watch
He had his headphones on, playing his and Hobie's favorite song, when his spider sense turned off, warning him about someone's arrival. However it wasn't a treat
He felt a hand snapping his headphones off his headphones from above
"Hey! What the fu-..." He looked up, just to see a portal made of... paper? Constantly changing color, shape, tipe.
"HOBIE!" Hobie was at the other side of the portal upside-down with his headphones on his hands
"Wanna get outta 'f 'ere?"

In Earth-928 Miguel O'Hara was watching an orange holographic window (idk how to call it .,_,.) the old picture of a girl dying in Pavitr arms replaced by a picture of him and Hobie sitting upside-down on a building watching the sunset happily kissing
"What now" Lylia sat on Miguel's shoulder
"Well...this is a proof that not all canon event brings destruction, and changing them wont bring the end of that earth"
"So you just let them be?"
"Yes Lyla...i just let them be"
.
.
.
In this universe they got their happy ending, they are happily together...
.
.
.
In another one, however, Hobie visited Pav, they got together, Hobie died on Pavitr arms. Miguel tried to stop it, but there's no stopping a canon event
Pav become more distant, and more and more, and cut all of his acquaintances in the Spider-Society
It's been 3 years, people barely heard from him anymore, he acts like a shadow now
.
.
.
In another universe Hobie never come to visit Pavitr, thinking it was best for him to leave him without all of this Spoder-Society shit
.
.
.
In another one Pav was the one dying on Hobie's arm's, Hobie quitted
Asked Miguel to block access to his earth to everyone, and to come just in case of anomalies
He got really depressed, blaming himself for everything...he ended up taking his life away, he couldn't live without his love, without his sunshine...without his life
.
.
.
In another one, Pav never left Gayatri, she died
In another one they were just friends
In another one Miles interfering with Pavitr's universe ended up with Pavitr glitching away with his universe
In every universe there's a different ending
But this is just a fan fiction, one of many kind
And I'm just a writer, that was in a good mood and decided to make this end one in a good way
Happy that you decided to read their one, and that you got this far
Thank you for reading, until next time fellas
That's all folks
