Ultimate Spider-Man One Shots

As Long As You're Here It Will All Be Alright

Trigger warning for depression:

Peter knew he wasn't okay. He knew the things he thought weren't right, but he couldn't stop thinking them. He knew that the little voice in his head that called him things like pathetic and worthless was wrong, but he couldn't stop believing it. He knew he needed help, but he didn't want to bother anyone.

Harry knew something was up. Peter was more distant than usual, even more than he was when the new kids came. He was there physically, but not not mentally. And Harry didn't know what to do about it.

Peter didn't know what happened. One minute he was having fun with his friends, the next he just couldn't handle it anymore. So now he was sitting outside in the rain, crying his eyes out for no apparent reason. The little voice was going nuts, screaming all the things that were wrong with Peter at him as fast as it could. He almost didn't notice someone walk up behind him.

Harry watched as Peter ran away. They had been spending time with MJ, Ava, Luke, Danny, and Sam when something came on TV. A certain person from Peter's past had just escaped from prison. A person Harry would probably kill if he ever met him. Peter panicked and bolted, and the next thing Harry knew he was pulling on his coat.

"Hi." Peter turned around to see Harry standing under an umbrella. He barely managed to say high back before he was pulled into a hug. "It's okay, I'm here. You'll be okay." And Peter knew that Harry was right. As long as he had his family and friends, especially Harry, everything would be alright.
