No friends

Summary: Peter is all alone until he meets a five year old girl.

Warnings: angst with happy ending. Mentions of death.

Song: No Friends by Cadmium. Italics are the song.

People say I try too hard.

People say I come off really awkward.

Peter sat next to his lab partner giving him a kind smile. But he just ignored the boy.

You know I don't mean no harm.
I'm just trying to be myself but.

The teacher gave them a project and Peter immediately started rambling about what they should do but his partner continued ignoring him.

Sometimes I get confused.
'Cause I can't read social cues.

Peter sat alone at lunch watching everyone sit with their friends.

Threw my inhibitions out the door.
I don't have an excuse.
I'm just living in my youth.
Don't know why people don't like me more.

Peter was pushed down by his childhood bully and everyone around him just laughed.

I have no friends but that's okay.
I don't need them anyway.

Peter entered his tiny apartment where he lived for the last two years. He sat down and did his homework enjoying the silence.

I do my best, all on my own.
And I'd just rather be alone.
Rather be alone.

Peter sat at central park after he finished his work and sketched his surroundings.

I have no friends but I'll be fine.
I don't need them to pass the time.

Couples and groups of friends passed by him but he didn't envy them. He was okay alone.

And when I put my resting bitch face on, I look stone cold.

A five year old brunette walked up to him hugging her teddy bear. Her yellow dress fluttering in the slight breeze.

"Hello," she said looking into his eyes, "You look lonely."

Before he could reply she ran away.

I'd just rather be alone.
Rather be alone.
I have no friends.I'd just rather be alone.Rather be alone.

He changed into his suit and swung around saving people.

I have no friends, but that's okay.
I don't need them anyway.
I do my best all on my own.

He didn't have to worry about the bad guys finding out his identity and going after his family and friends.

And I'd just rather be alone.
Rather be alone.I have no friends.

He was alone but he was okay.

You'll never know what's on my mind.
You'll never know the secrets that I'm keeping.

People cheered for him while he passed. but they cheered for spiderman not Peter Parker.

I'll scare you off with my crazy eyes
'Cause all I need is me myself and.I don't got no shame.

He saved another person. He always noticed the fear in the criminals eyes when he showed up but he ignored it and took them down.

'Cause my life is just a game.
And I don't care who's been keeping score.
Everybody thinks I'm strange.
It's just something in my brain.

"Spiderman does it again," the reporter said.

Don't know who they're being normal for.I have no friends but that's okay.
I don't need them anyway.
I do my best all on my own.
And I'd just rather be alone.
Rather be alone.I have no friends and that's a sign.
I don't need them to pass the time.
And when I put my resting bitch face on, I look stone cold.
I'd just rather be alone.
Rather be alone.
I have no friends.I'd just rather be alone.

All Peter had to talk to was his AI, Karen.

I don't need anybody's hand to hold at night.
As long as I'm with me, I know I'll be alright.
'Cause I can't love no one else.
Spent my love on just myself.
Took this people-pleaser heart.
And I tore it all apart.
Now I'm finally set free.
I'm so proud to be me.

Before his aunt died he used to try to please people. But he still never had friends. After his aunt died he gave up trying.

He felt better. he didn't have to worry about what other people thought. he didn't care.

That's why I don't care, I just wanna say.I have no...
La, la la la la.
No friends.
I'd just rather be alone.
Rather be alone.I have no friends but that's okay.

And I'd just rather be alone.

He went to his favourite spot. It was the roof of his aunts apartment.

I have no friends.
I'd rather be alone.
No friends.
All I need is me, myself, no friends.
I have no friends.

He saw the same brunette he had seen at the park standing on the edge, about to jump.

"Wait!"  he called out running up to her.

The girl stopped her movements and looked at her hero. Spiderman. She ran into his arms crying.

"Shh. It's okay. Do you want to talk about it?" He asked running his a hand through her hair.

"I-I'm all alone," she cried between sobs.

Peter's heart broke for the little girl. When he was her age he still had his family.

"I understand. I'm...I'm alone too," he said.

She pulled away and looked up at his masked face, "Yo- you're alone too?"

He pulled his mask off and bent down to her level.

"Yeah. Sometimes i get lonely just like you. What's your name? I'm Peter."

"M- Morgan."

"Well Morgan," he said with a smile, "Maybe we can help each other."

"How?" she asked wiping the few tears in her eyes.

"How about I find you a home and you could be my friend. That sound okay?"

Her eyes lit up and she nodded. She held up her pinky.

"Pinky promise?"

"Pinky promise," Peter chuckled wrapping his pinky in hers.
