Asexual - Spideypool (Part 2)

(High school AU Neither of them have powers. They're both like Juniors or even Seniors doesn't matter)

Wade's POV

Peter's been acting funny. Really funny.

We've been together for 9 months and it's been incredible. The best, honestly. We've been in a couple arguments, but everything's been pretty smooth sailing these past couple months.

Until now of course.

Peter's staying the night at my place like he does often, or whenever his overprotective dad lets him, and he's been acting funny. Fidgeting more than usual, not looking me straight in the eyes, not being as affectionate and touchy like he normally is.

I want to ask him what's going on, but I don't know how, don't know if it's my place to say anything.

I watch him carefully as he watches the movie. Normally, we'd be at least cuddling, sometimes Pete will even sit up on my lap to cuddle because normally he's the most touchy and affectionate person ever.

Now, he's curled up against the side of the couch, blanket over his legs, occasionally bringing popcorn up to his pouty lips.

He looks tired like he always does during movies, but he also looks a little on edge, worried about something. God knows what. He hates opening up to me about stuff that could affect me. He's so selfless in that way, but it just makes my life harder because I have to figure out what's wrong.

I sigh and rest my hand gently on his back, massaging the knots out of his muscles. A light smile crosses his face, but it seems burdened by some sort of pain or anxiety. He turns his head away from me so I can no longer see his expressions and I still my hand on his back, hoping he'll tell me what's going on.

I don't realize he's crying until his body shudders with what I assume is some sort of sob. I quickly pull away from him, sitting up on the couch.

"Petey? Are you okay?" I ask softly, almost worried.

Peter stumbles up to his feet, tears streaking his pale skin.

"Dad didn't hate me, but you're going to hate me. I'm sorry. Dad says I'm not broken, but sometimes it still feels like I am. But I don't want you to think I'm something I'm not. I don't want you to want something from me that I can't give you and I'm so sorry for that," he explains shakily, wringing his hands in his shirt.

"What do you mean, Petey? I'm sure your dad was right when he said you're not broken, but even if you are, not everything broken is unfixable," I say, standing carefully.

"You can't fix me. Trust me, I've tried. And I'm scared I am broken and that you're going to leave me because of how broken I am," he repeats, backing away from me as he tries to slow his tears, hiccuping as he fails.

"What's wrong, baby boy? What's wrong? What's going on?" I ask, lost and confused at the situation.

"I... I'm Ace, Wade. I'm asexual. I'm broken. And you're going to leave me because I can't have sex with you and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. But it's okay. It's okay if you want to leave me. I'll understand if you don't want me anymore," he cries, blinking rapidly and curling his body into himself to steady his quickened, heavy breaths.

"What?" I say, dumbfounded.

He stands completely still for a couple seconds before turning for the door. Finally, my body moves and catches his elbow, pulling him back to me.

"I know I make a lot of jokes about sex. I know I say stupid things like I wouldn't be able to live without dick. But it's all jokes. It's all just jokes. I don't need sex. I don't care. I need you. I don't need sex. Like how I love Mexican food, but I don't love that the plastic wraps cause pollution in the ocean. So I don't get Mexican food with plastic wrap, I get it with paper wrap. I get you, but I'll get you without sex because I don't need sex. I'm kind of hurt that you would think I would leave such a cutie, just because there was no chance of stds in our relationship," I ramble jokingly.

He lets out a soft giggle at that, wiping away his tears.

"You just need to be open with me, petey," I continue. "You need to let me know how comfortable you are with everything. If you're okay with cuddling. If you're okay with pet names and dirty jokes and making out and exactly how far we can go. Trust me, I've gotten really good at doing everything else myself, so it's okay. Just promise you'll tell me if things get too much or if you feel uncomfortable at all."

"I love you," he murmurs, leaning up to kiss my cheek shyly, blushing heavily.

"Are you okay with kissing and stuff?" I ask, almost desperate to feel his lips.

"Yes. Always. Cuddles and kisses are perfect. I think I'll go as far as making out and I can always try and see how comfortable I am with helping you out. Just not me, you know?" he explains, still looking shy and nervous.

"Okay. Well just take this one step at a time. I just wish you would've told me sooner. I never want to make you feel uncomfortable at all. Even a twinge of anxiety, and I want you to tell me, okay? Even if you just don't feel up for making out that day, tell me. I'll accommodate," I say, kissing his forehead gently and pulling his small body into mine.

"Thank you... um, and I'll get it if you need it, you know? I'll understand if you need sex or something, something that I can't give you, and you go to someone else, okay? You can do that if you need to," he murmurs, ever the soft-hearted boy, but there's a dim touch of jealousy or sadness to his face.

I make sure to smile as wide as I can. "That would insinuate that I want someone else besides you. Just because we won't be having sex, doesn't mean I'll ever consider cheating on you. If I ever get really, really desperate, I'll just watch porn or something. You know me, baby boy, I find my ways. It's not like I've been with many people before you."

He blushes darker, hiding his face in my shirt.

"I love you. Sorry for making this such a big deal," he says, muffled by my shirt.

I laugh, carefree. "It's okay. I love you too, baby boy."
