Something like love | Peter Parker

*Omniscient Perspective*

-Back at the Compound-

They all tried to track down Thanos for their big fight, but he had traveled so far the he was off the map, so they decided to go back to the compound and wait him out.

After Natasha failed to save Adeline, she got the Soul stone and met back up with everybody at the compound.

"Nat where's Adeline?" Bruce asked.

Natasha stood there trying not to cry. She lifted her hand to her mouth to silence her cries.

"Nat?" Clint stepped towards her. She slid her back against the wall and hid her head in her knees.

"Tell me my kids okay Natasha." Tony's bottom lip started to quiver.

"I tried to save her, Tony." she cried.

Steve walked over to her and hugged her.

"So your telling me that my kid, i- is dead?" Tony stuttered and stepped back.

"I'm so sorry Tony" Natasha stood up and walked towards him

"Did she say anything to you by any chance?"

"She told me to tell you that she loved you, and that she was sorry." Tony started to cry and walked out of the room.

"Hey guys!" Peter walked into the room happy as ever. Clearly he hadn't heard the news yet.

"Peter? Could I speak with you privately for a moment?"

"Sure!" The two of them walked upstairs.

"I uh don't know where to tell you this"

"We could talk in Adeline's room!"

"I don't think that's such a good idea Peter."

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind!" He opened the door to her room and walked in. Natasha reluctantly followed. The two sat down on her bed and Natasha started to break the news to Peter.

"Peter, Adeline is uh- I don't know how to tell you this, Adeline's-"

"What? Is she hurt?! Is she okay?!"

"Peter. Adeline's dead."

"Your joking. Right? Is she seriously dead?"

"Yes. She's gone. I'm sorry Peter."

Natasha got up. "I'll leave you alone for a minute. I'm so sorry Peter. I tried to save her." She left the room without saying another word and closed the door behind her. 

Adeline's room still smelled like her vanilla perfume, it still felt like her room. But now, it was just a room. What was once her things, her books, her clothes was now just that. Things. She didn't exist anymore. Now she's a thing of the past. Everything was just where she left it. Her books were still stacked on her bookshelves. The Hunger Games was still sitting on her desk where she left it just a few nights ago.

Peter sat there for a minute crying when he got up and looked over at her picture board that hung above her nightstand.

After looking at the photos for a while he looked down at her nightstand. There was an envelope sitting there face down. He sat on the edge of her bed and turned it over. The front read; To: Peter in cursive. He opened it up and started reading.

It read;

Dear Peter,
I don't know if I'll ever be able to muddle up the courage to tell you this, or ever get the chance for that matter, so I decided to write it all down.

I love you Peter Parker. And I think I always have, since the moment I met you down to the second I'm writing this letter. From when we first met on that bench and bonded over Led Zeppelin, I've loved you.

You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I will never get tired of talking to. You're the only one who can make me smile without even trying. There aren't enough words in the world to describe just how much you mean to me, you're the only one that I'm afraid of loosing. Every time you walk in the room my heart skips a beat. Every time you smile at me I fall for you a little more.

I can't help but love you.

I've never been able to keep a secret from you, you know me better than I know myself, you can read me like a book. But there's one thing I need you to know and it haunts me every second I don't tell you.

The reason why I started at Midtown Tech in the middle of the year was because my dad sent me to recruit you. That's the reason why I was in all your classes too. I just hope you know that after we met for the first time I hung out with you because I liked you. Not just for the mission. I'm truly sorry about that Peter.

I'm sorry.

I always knew that I liked you, but when we were in Germany and I gave you the little chocolates and Spider-Man keychain, that's when I knew that I loved you. Our time in Germany will always be some of my favorite memories. And I couldn't imagine anyone else to spend that time with.
I still have your hoodie that you let me borrow that day that I spent the night at your place, it's hanging up in my closet with all my favorite clothes, like the dress I wore to my dad and Pepper's wedding.

A year ago we didn't even know each other. We could've passed each other on the street and wouldn't of thought twice about it. Now your the most important person in my life. You're my whole world. You make me happy. You make my life worth living.

From sneaking out late at night to go get milkshakes and fries, to skipping class to read in the library together, every second with you was a second worth living.

And even though I haven't been able to say it to your face yet, I love you.

I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you.

Why can't I just say it to you? I wish you would say it to me first so It'd be easier.

I love you. I wish you knew that. Then again, maybe you do? Do you love me? I hope you do. Regardless, I love you.

I still don't know how I got so lucky to end up with a guy as sweet as you.

I love that when I'm cold you take off you sweater and wrap it around me, and when I'm sad you wipe away my tears and hold me until I feel better. I love that when I look into your eyes you blush, and I love that when we watch movies together you let me lay my head on your shoulder, especially when you wrap your arm around me and hold me, it makes me feel loved. But not the usual way. It makes me feel truly loved. It makes me feel like a have a place in the world.

You make me feel loved. You make me feel special even though, I'm not.

I hope you know that I'd do anything for you, if the time came between your life and mine, I'd sacrifice myself without a second thought.
I love you, always and forever.

Ever since I met you you've always been on my mind. I was thinking about you every second of everyday. Even when I was with you. I'd marry you tomorrow if I had the chance.
Before I met you I had no one, I was all by myself. As soon as I met you I knew that I'd never be alone again. I knew that I'd found my person. I knew that I had found my soulmate.

You are my soulmate Peter Parker.

I'll never be able to love anyone else the way that I love you. And I hope that I wont have to.
I want to be with you for the rest of my life.

With all my love,
Adeline
