Secret War

After that day, filming continued as usual.

Spider-Man, who sneaked into the enemy line alone, was found, Captain Marvel, played by Brie, appeared on the battlefield and helped the young Avengers.

Three nights later, Spider-Man himself visited the world again.

"I can't go to school." The voice showed the boy under the hood with a look of frustration. "If I were at school, it would cause confusion and, hurt." With Tom's frown, Peter changed his words immediately.

“But they said I could take the class with the online video! And they promised me to graduate normally! So nothing to worry about!”

Tom stared at Peter for almost one minute before patting him on the shoulder.

"Hey, you know that's not your fault, and...you can get a little more sleep at home than your classmates."

"Well, that's what Ned told me too."

Tom laughed, for the boy. "By the way, where do you live now?"

"I moved to the Avengers base."

"Wow, that must be very——Oh right, try some Sam's dishes. I've saved some for you!"

Tom jumped up and ran to the small refrigerator to take out a lunch box. "What do you think of his craftsmanship?"

"Your brother has always been good at cooking. oh!... Does he want to be a chef?"

The mask was pulled halfway up, Peter take a bite, then he realized that Tom is try to stop talking about the Avengers.

"I’m agree that he will very good as a chef, but he hasn't made up his mind yet, and we're not in a hurry. How is these days?”

"It's okay, take classes , do some training. It's not like you can still hang out and stay in a hotel during your breaks... Do you want to watch my training video?"

"Does this count as a leak of secrets?" Saying so, Tom still leaned in honestly.

"I’d think most of these actions are made by CG..." Tom stared at the camera's screen, exclaiming one after another. "As expected of you, it's amazing!”

"Hmph... Thanks , if I hadn't been bitten by a spider, I wouldn't be able to reach your level." Peter scratched his hair. "And I don't have anything else to do at the base, so I train regularly.”

"Then you might stay... forget it, nothing."

“What?”

“Never mind.”

Neither of them spoke for a while.

"...What information have you got now?"In the end it was Peter who decided to break the silence.

"Oh yes, my movie ." Tom drew a notebook from under his pillow. "I wrote all the plots so far in this book, but it is very strange that the Green Goblin has never appeared, and they are not planning to join this role."

"Green Goblin?"

"The bomb maniac you called, wait, don't you know?" Tom wanted to search Peter with his phone, but the boy was already one step ahead of him and took out the phone he had bought for him earlier.

"Ah I see, *"The villain in Marvel Comics' Spider-Man. This character was also listed by IGN as one of the 13th greatest comic book villains.

" Really? I haven't heard of him. Norman Virgil Osborn...Osbrn Industries? what is that? “Peter looked up at Tom.

"You don't know? You don't have this company over there?"

"No, I've never heard of that last name." Peter continued. "Hey, the picture on this is exactly the same as that guy!"

"This is the Green Goblin, how is he now? Ah, this information is not that important, let's put it aside for now!"

Tom suddenly changed his words and tried to change the subject, but the boy lowered his eyes.

"He...wait let me think about..."

"...The bomb he threw was bounced back by Wanda during the melee, and May..." The boy stopped, the spider-eyes on his mask widened.

A terrible silence descended on the room.

Peter just sat there, not moving. For a split second Tom thought it was a doll that ran out of clockwork.

"Peter?"
He cautiously made a soft, sleepy call towards that body.

No respond.

He called the boy's name again.
Spider-Man remained completely still, not even breathing.

Not even breathing?

The man who noticed this skipped a beat in his heart.

"Peter? Peter!"

Ignoring the risk of being knocked flying, Tom rushed over to shake the boy, and then slapped his face twice.

"------"

The latter made suffocating syllables, fingers frantically scratching his throat.

"Peter! Peter! Kid! Fuck, calm down! Peter!!Breath Peter!!"

The mask was snapped off, and Peter Parker was back in the light.

".……”
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"May!!! May!! No! No!! No!! May!!!"

Crying, shouting, and desperately reaching forward with both hands, May is there, right there, as long as he is quicker, he can save her.

Bright red, Dark red, the soft inside fell out.

"No! No, no, no, no! May!! May!!! Save her! Save her, who will save her!! Please save her!"

"Peter! Peter! Peter Parker!! Wake up!"

The cheeks were numb for a while, then turned into a burning pain.
Peter stared blankly at the flustered self.

"It's ok."
That other-himself ——Tom pulled his body into his arms.
"It's ok, It's ok, kid."

"May, May. She... ah ah..."He crying hard.

"I know,Peter, I know.It's okay Peter, it's okay. I’m here,I’m here with you."

You are here.

“Breath with me,Peter.Breath.”

Peter catching Tom’s body tightly, his posture is exactly the person who fell into the water holding on to the life-saving straw.

"I am here."

The older man repeated the words softly.

Breath in.
"I am here."

Breath out.
"I am here."

Breath in.
"I am here."

Breath out.

The older man holds him tight and strong,keep still.

"Thanks, I'm good now , I ——.Spider-Man isn't..."

Peter was silent for a moment, releasing his clenched hands. "thank you."
"I can hold myself together." In order to show that what he said was true, Peter raised his head and widened his eyes.

Tom fell silent, he can feel something in his throat, makes speaking becomes difficult, like a stranded fish.
Peter saw mist rise in the older man's eyes and roll down out of sight.

"You probably haven't cried out ."Tom’s face full with sadness and heed.

"I'm really worried about you."

He held the younger tighter, his voice all out of tune.

"Everyone knows you've suffered over there, everyone knows. I really want you to living in with me..."

After taking a few seconds to understand what the sentence meant, the boy smiled.

"Tom, Tom Holland," Peter cupped Tom's face and kissed him lightly.

"Choose to holding that crystal must be the thing that I will never regret in my life."

"Me too."

It was probably a spell.

Not only the gas in the lungs, but even that jumping organ in his chest gradually changed its frequency.

This entrustment is jumping in the present, and will continue to do so in the future.

And Peter Parker has understand that it is a resonance that will endure forever.

"Hey, Pet, my love, my huckleberry, I have something to tell you."

"It's not from the TV show, and it's not for please you."

Tom propped the man up from his body and looked at the misty eyes.

"I swear I’ll be there with you, always , forever. I know I want to."

"Will you swear to live with me?"
