After we finished eating, Peter and I decided to go for a little walk around the park in New York. We're now already eating some ice cream and laughing at the hilarious things that happened in our lives, I stopped laughing until I saw the moon and just looked at it. Peter must've been noticed it and held my hand. I looked at our hands.

"Let's go to that rooftop." I didn't even talk and just let him drag me away. We didn't talk the whole time he's been dragging me away, his mind seems to cloud some things for not being able to start a conversation, I just let him, until we reached the rooftop.

He let go of my hand. I started walking on the railings of the rooftop and lean against it. This is the rooftop where I took pictures of Spider-Man yesterday. Just by thinking about it, Peter walks beside me and leans on the railings of the rooftop too.

"Want to share some of your thoughts?" I glanced at him and smiled reassuringly. He turned to look at me his whole body facing me.

"I wanna tell you something."

"Ok." We both laughed, I was a bit surprised by his... surprise? There was a moment of silence before he continued talking, I got a feeling that he was going to tell me the thing I already know --- but I just decided to let him.

"I've been bitten." He then stopped and closed his eyes as if he was arguing with his mind if he should continue or just let it be.

"And?" I quietly chuckled and waited for him patiently.

"No no no no no. Don't look at me like that."

"What?" I coughed. "Ok, sorry." And then I arrange my face, I just can stop smiling.

"I'm gonna talk about me. Ok?" I just nodded my head and looked at him, examining the nervous expression on his face. "I wish I could just..." He seems to fight his inner self. "It's hard to say."

"Just say it." He leans against the railings again and I just patted his back meaning that it was ok. He looks at me again anxiously. "What?" I smiled and looked at his eyes as if we can read our own minds.

He just then shooked his head and looked down again. I sighed in defeat, I thought this was it. "Ok, I'll just leave you be, for now, just text me if you need me." I patted his back again and began to walk away.

Not until I heard a whoosh sound and then something soft hit my back. I looked back at Peter but he pulled me towards him without using his hands. I looked at the thing on his hands seeing a web. I smiled widely in happiness, I feel like there were fireworks inside my chest. I looked up and felt Peter's hands cupping my cheeks as he inches over to my face until a pair of lips touches mine. 

I pulled away to look at him again. "Oh my god."

"Shut up." He said and kissed me back one more time, but the kiss was more passionate than the first one. It lasted longer and butterflies started to fill my stomach along with the fireworks I felt inside of me earlier.

We pulled away to catch our breaths, I looked at Peter again who was looking at me in a concerned way. I lifted my arms and hugged him in his neck. I began crying. He patted my back as I sobbed at the crook of his neck. I pulled away slightly and cupped his face. "I knew it. You were, Spider-Man."

"H-How?"

"I know, I just know it was you all along. You guys have the same height, body build, voice, and especially the feeling I always feel when you're near me." I halted as he wipes my tears. "I was so confused at the things you showed me. I would always think about it when I go to bed --- and all the answer comes back to you."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't want to. I don't want to force you into something you're not ready to tell me just yet. So I waited, and thank you for trusting me."

"And what about the feeling you said about me?"

"Yes. I liked you. I don't know when and why, it just started to grow. I tried to stop because I was afraid of rejection."

"But now I'm here, standing in front of you. Telling you how much I love you." He pecked my lips and looked at me again with full of softness and sweetness all over his eyes. There was a moment of silence, we just can't stop staring at each other, admiring. You could really get lost in his eyes. I snapped back to reality when he started to talk again. "The first time I saw you, I was afraid to talk to you. The first time I spoke to you, I was afraid to hold you. When I held you for the first time, I was so scared to love you --- and now I'm terrified of losing you."

"You know what? Let me tell you this." I pulled away and touched both of his hands with minds, I looked back up again and smiled. "There's a clear difference between the way my life was without you and how it is now. My life is better now, all because of you." I sighed deeply and continued. "I didn't even have friends back in Detroit, you were my first real friend that never used me because of something. I felt a new whole experience with you, like a feeling I never even know existed inside of me --- and now that I'm with you, I'm terrified that the feeling would go away."

"I love you. I am deeply in love with you, Ana."

"I love you too, Peter."
