"Karen, could you show me the videos I took on my phone from last Tuesday." I was laid down on the top of a building after a long afternoon of running after car thieves and helping lost tourists. All I wanted to do was see Y/N and sleep.
"I'm connecting to your phone, now." Karen's robotic voice filled my ears. "Playing video footage."
My vision was filled with Y/N's smiling face as we walked in the park. Her hair was blowing in the wind and the light that was hitting her face made her look like an angel.
"Peter! Put that away! I look hideous right now." She exclaimed in the video. As if she could ever look hideous.
"You're not." God. I sounded like an idiot. "Now, stay still and let me take a video of you standing over there. I wanna remember this day."
"You're a dork, Parker. Do you know that?" She raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not something I don't know."
Y/N rolled her eyes at me. "At least be in the video with me." I remembered her entwining her hand with mine and tugging. My face emerged from the back of the camera and Y/N jumped on my back, clinging on to me piggy back style. "So, what are we doing?"
"We're taking a little stroll in the park. Well, I'm walking and I'm carrying her. Hold on tight!" I screamed before running as fast as I could. Y/N laughed and held on tight to my neck.
"Peter! I might fall!" She yelled, still laughing. I slowed down and hiked her up higher.
"As if I would ever let you fall." Was I really this cheesy around her? I'm such a sap. I pretended to drop her and she squealed and tightened her hold even more.
"Peter!" She slapped my shoulder. Video Me laughed.
"I got you, don't worry." I looked back at her and she did the same. She gave me a small smile. I felt my heartbeat accelerate.
"Your heart rate is increasing rapidly. Shall I contact Mr. Stark?" Karen's voice interrupted the video.
"No! Don't call Mr. Stark! I-I just..." I trailed off.
"You what?"
"I-I was running..."
"No you weren't." Karen sassed me. "Is it because of Y/N?"
"What? N-no!" I defended.
"Your increased heart rate and body temperature can be associated to you watching that video, instead of any physical activity for you have not moved in the last hour." I stayed silent.
"Would you like me to calculate the fastest way to the Upper East Side?"
"Let's go." I said before jumping off the side of the building.
I landed on top of Y/N's house, the massive mansions glowed in the dark. Peering down, I saw Y/N lean her body out of the window. She took deep breaths in. I stuck a web on the gutter of the roof and began to lower myself down. Y/N had her eyes closed. Just like in the video, the lights from outside hit her just right. Reminding me just how beautiful she is. She scrunched up her face and groaned.
"Got a lot on your mind?" I interrupted. She screamed and jumped. I laughed and sat down on her windowsill. I looked back at her and patted the space beside me. "Come and tell Spidey all about it."
Y/N sighed and sat down, facing her door. I looked out at the faint skyline in the distance. I felt her sneaking small glances at me.
"Is it a guy?" I asked.
"What?" She turned to me.
"Usually when a girl looks out a window, thinking and stuff, it's usually because of a guy. According to the romantic comedies I watch."
Y/N giggled and my heart swelled. "Well, there is a guy."
"Ah," Now, I felt my heart stop. I knew that this day would come. The say when Y/N would finally find someone that she likes. Find someone that wasn't me. "So what did he do?"
"It's not him that's the problem. It's everyone around me." She played with her fingers. "They all say that he's no good for me. That I'm completely out of his league. That we would never work."
"But?" I urged her on.
"But..." Y/N let out a long sigh. "I don't want to listen to them. I've always been the good girl. Following everyone's orders. Always getting stepped on. I don't want to be that girl anymore. I'm tired of people telling me what to do and what to feel. I want to decide on my own for once. And if admitting to myself that I love my best friend, despite what anyone else thinks, is the first step then so be it."
I felt proud of her for taking her life in her own hands. She was amazing. She didn't- WAIT.
"Y-your best friend?"
"I know. Cliche right? Girl falls in love with her best friend. Pathetic." Y/N brushed the hair away from her face. "Oh my god, I'm in love with my best friend."
I felt like I couldn't breathe. My heart was pumping so fast. "W-why do you l-love him?" I managed to choke out.
"He's the sweetest, smartest, kindest guy I've ever met. I think he knows me better than I know myself, sometimes. He's also the biggest dork in the world but it's so endearing to hear him talk about Star Wars and science. The way his eyes light up when he gets excited over something and his voice gets super high pitched." She shook her head. "He makes me feel safe. When I'm with him, I feel like I never have to put on an act. I can be myself and he wouldn't care," Y/N smiled.
"But he's keeping something from me. And it's hurting him. He won't tell me what's wrong and it's so frustrating because I want to be there for him like he's been there for me." She bit her lip.
Is it who I think it is? Don't get your hopes up, Parker.
"W-what's his n-name?" I asked, tentatively.
"Peter." My eyes went wide. "His name's Peter Parker."
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my g-
"OW!" I felt a shock go through my body.
"Your heart stopped for 2 seconds so I delivered an emergency electric shock." Karen informed me. "Shall I contact Mr.Stark?"
"No, Karen! Don't call him!"
"Are you okay?" Y/N placed her hand on my arm.
"Y-yeah. My artificial intelligence is just malfunctioning."
"No, I'm not." Karen said.
"You sure? You kinda jumped then froze. I can get you some ice if that would help?"
"N-no. I'm okay. Don't worry."
"Okay." Y/N nodded and put her hand down. I stared at her, not knowing what to say. She just confessed to being in love with me to me. Well, not me but me but not me me. You get it.
"You should tell her how you feel." Karen offered.
"Y/N." She scrunched her eyebrows together in confusion.
"H-how do you know my name? I never told you my name." Y/N stood up and began to move away from me. "A-are you stalking me?"
"N-no of course not! I just- I need to tell you something. Please." She looked at me before she hesitantly nodded. I felt myself begin to sweat. Was I really going to do this?
I took a deep breath before reaching the top of my head and balling the fabric into my fist. I started to pull off the mask. Stopping halfway, I looked up at Y/N who looked shocked that I was about to reveal myself to her.
If I'm going to reveal my identity to anyone, I'd want it to be Y/N.
With that thought, I pulled the mask off completely. Y/N's jaw dropped.
"Peter?" She breathed out.
"Hi."
