peter gets into a relationship with another girl, and you cant help but feel jealous about it.

warnings : swearing, best friends to lovers :)

  you and peter had been best friends for as long as you could remember, your mom being the best friend of aunt may.
  the only problem was you had developed some kind of a crush on him.
  the both of you had kinda been through everything with each other, you were the one peter would go to for comfort about his mom and dad leaving, you went through every heartbreak together, every bad grade, every argument, you had always been there for each other. when uncle ben died, you knew he had been different. always so on edge about something. you couldn't seem to figure out what was off about him until you found out he was spiderman.
  one day you and peter both had a free period, and intended to spend every minute of it with each other. the first step was to meet in the library.
  you walked inside, seeing that peter wasnt already there. no big deal, you would just wait for him to come.
  and so you waited, and waited and waited and waited. he never showed. you heard the loud and obnoxious laugh of some girl, glancing up for a second to see who thought it was fine to be so noisy in the library.
  you had to do a double take when you saw someone who looked an awful lot like peter and some blonde girl getting a little too touchy to just be friends.
  ouch. you didnt really know what to do. peter had blown you off to spend his free period with a random girl who you had never even seen before.
  you collected your things and shoved them in your bag, deciding to spend this time anywhere but here.
  you ran into the washroom, closing your stall quickly behind you. silent tears streamed down your face as you wiped them as soon as they fell in fear of ruining your makeup. unfortunately, this wouldnt be the last time you would cry for this exact reason.
  when you had collected yourself, you decided to just spend the rest of the period in the washroom, catching up on your homework inside the stall.
you couldnt stop thinking about that girl, who was she and why was she with peter?
you got home and flopped in bed, thinking about the day and wondering why you werent good enough for peter. why hadn't he noticed you? why didn't he the way your cheeks heated up, or feel the way your heart basically bursted out of your chest whenever he looked at you?
you had read about best friends leaving each other for boyfriends and girlfriends, and that terrified you to the max.
you couldn't imagine life without peter in it, even if you two weren't dating and seeing other people.
after these thoughts flooded your mind, you couldn't help but let a few tears fall from your eyes, streaming down your cheeks and staining them.
you jumped up when you heard a small knock on your window, turning around abruptly and recognizing them to be peter dressed in his spiderman suit.
you turned your head back, quickly wiping your tears away and stood up in front of the window. you offered a small smile and yanked it open.
"hi," you said loud enough for just him to hear.
"hey, uh, are you okay? you didnt come during the free."
"oh. yeah i went but i couldn't see you so i left," you thought about how badly you wanted to call him a fucking idiot and tell him you loved him.
"okay. tomorrow works then? same time and place?" he asked you.
'yeah as long as you dont blow me off again,' you thought.
"sounds good."
you plastered on a fake smile and allowed him to climb through the window. he immediately laid down on your bed and placed his arms behind his head and crossing his legs.
you tried so hard not to cry again, eventually failing and turning your head away.
"are you okay, [Y/N]?" he asked, genuinely concerned.
"yeah," you responded while wiping your eyes and trying so hard to not have your voice crack.
"talk to me, love. whats the matter?" the nickname made your heart flutter, despite knowing that he didnt like you.
"it's really nothing peter. i think you should just go home."
you prayed that your eyes weren't too red, turning your head around to convince him you were okay. you gave him a weak smile.
"i'm not leaving until i know whats wrong."
peter's brain was flooded with what could be wrong, were you stressed about assignments, were your parents on your ass about something? worst of all, did someone hurt you? emotionally or physically, he didnt care.
"i saw you with that girl today," you said, barely above a whisper, but he still heard you.
he was confused for a moment, not understanding why you would be upset about that. but then he realized that he was supposed to be with you during lunch. he really was the most clueless guy ever.
"oh shit, im sorry [Y/N/N], i promise ill make it up to you tomorrow."
"no, peter. the thing is i like you and you obviously liked her." this statement left him shocked, not speaking with his mouth parted. "i think you should go."
"no, [Y/N]. i like you."
"what?" you we're definitely hearing things.
thats when he grabbed your face, looking into your eyes deeply as a way to ask if this was okay. you nodded eagerly.
he brought his face close to yours, connecting your lips in a deep kiss. finally.
