Peter knocked on the door softly before entering. He creaked the door open to see Huey sitting on the bed, with his back to the door. He quietly closed the door behind him, "Huey?" The sudden question caused him to flinch, and his shoulders slumped after he processed the sound.

"Please don't..." Huey whispered.

"What did you say?" Peter walked around the bed to see Huey's face.

"Please don't look at me." He said louder, his face was in his hands, and had tears dripping down his wrists.

"Hey, it's okay. It's Pe- It's Spidey. It's me, Spidey." Peter bent down and gently grabbed Huey's wrists, and moved it so he could see the older boy's face. His eyes were tearing up, with a drop rolling down here and there.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Peter asked in a soft voice. Huey shook his head, but put his arms out, asking for a hug without any words. Peter gave him one without a second thought. He was pulled onto Huey's lap, with both of them hugging each other tightly.

"Be careful," Peter said, nuzzling his face into Huey's chest. "My stitches opened earlier." Without hesitation, Huey moved his arm away from Peter's injured side. Huey calmed down with Peter in the room, and he released the younger boy from his embrace.

"Do you feel better?" Peter asked with a hand on Huey's shoulder.

"Yeah." He said as he wiped any leftover tears from his face. "Thanks, a lot. That really helped."

"Anytime, you can always call if you need someone." He and Huey stood up. "Let's get you home." He said, with his hands on Huey's shoulders (lmao im just thinking ab the height difference).

Huey stood by the bed while Peter grabbed a shirt that might fit from the closet. Huey grabbed the shirt from Peter's hand and slipped it on. As he reached over his head, Peter was gazing at the bandages around various spots on Huey's body. He knows Huey rushed them, but they looked well done.

"Do you have experience with first aid?" Peter said, holding Huey's coat.

"It's kind of a given when you do this sort of thing alone."

"Nobody knows you do this?"

"Other than you and Stark? Well, my sister knows, but I know she won't say anything. Nobody else knows. At least I hope so." Huey said as he grabbed his coat from Peter's hand. Their hands brushed against each other for a moment, when they did, a tingle went through Huey's hand. It felt warm, Peter's hand.

"C'mon Huey." Peter said, reaching for the doorknob. "You've had a long day." The two walked down the hall to Huey's older brother and Tony.

"What took you so long?" Dallas said, he sounded worried.

"I wanted to show him my stitches." Peter came up with a lie quickly

"Gross." Tony chimed in. The three others looked at him.

"Let's get you home, Huey." Dallas said with a smile.

"Sure." Huey groaned.

"Can I tag along?" Peter chimed in. "Not to impose, I live in the same building."

"I suppose, is that alright?" Dallas glanced at Tony.

"He's going to go whether I like it or not. Sure." Peter's eyes lit up.

The three of them were in Dallas' car. Dallas was driving and Huey and Peter were in the back. Peter was looking around the dark grey interior of the car, there were books and papers piled in the front passenger seat with a backpack on the floor in front of it, there was an air freshener on the rear-view mirror that gave the car a slight mint scent, and a small rectangular rainbow sticker was stuck on the media center frame, worn with age. There was dried flowers on the dashboard, lavender, a white carnation, and spilled sunflower seeds. The seats were comfortable and warm. Huey had given Peter his jacket, it was made of dark green wool and kept the boy warm in the cold atmosphere.

"So your name is Huey?" Peter asked.

"Yeah."

"It's nice to meet you, Huey" Peter smiled.

"It's nice to officially meet you, Peter." Huey's face softened a little.

"What do you mean by 'officially'? Did you not know each other's names?" Dallas asked from the front.

"Student Council is helping to plan the debate team's Nationals trip, we didn't do any proper introductions since we're short on time." Huey responded, Dallas kind of understood the last part, not that much though.

"Ah. Make sure you can finish your homework."

"I'll be fine. Reminder that it's in two weeks." Peter was in the debate team. He'd never seen Huey there, though. Is Huey actually helping with Nationals? Is he actually in Student Council?

"Well, we're here." Dallas pulled into the apartment parking lot. He handed a key to Huey. "You two go ahead while I park." The two boys hopped out of the car and walked to the building.

"Goodnight Mr. Dallas!" Peter shouted to the black car.

"Peter it's 4am!" Huey slapped a hand over Peter's mouth. "Be quiet!"

"Sorry." Peter smiled as he removed Huey's hand. The two walked to the elevator ans a big question arose.

"What floor?" Huey's finger hovered over the buttons.

"3rd." Peter said. "Just like you."

"Have we been neighbours this entire time?" Huey laughed.

"I mean, I wouldn't be mad." Peter nudged the taller guy with an elbow. "It'd be nice having you as a neighbour." The statement mad both of them smile. The elevator chimed and the doors slid open.

"Walk you to your apartment?" Huey ask as they stepped into the hall.

"Sure." Peter hoped that May would like Huey. She was upset when she heard Peter stayed at his place. They were walking through the hall and chatting quietly. When Peter opened the door, May was sitting at the table, looking at him.

"I see you're home." She craned her neck to look at the door frame, to which Huey bent down so she could see him. Surprised to see someone with Peter, she said, "And you've brought a guest. Come in."

"Aunt May, He's the one who helped me."

"I guessed so, why do you think I asked for him to come in?" She got up and ushered the two into the apartment and onto the couch.

"I'll get the clothes you lent me." Peter whispered to the taller boy before he got up and disappeared down a hall.

"You're the one?" May asked standing.

"The one?"
